Proving a negative is a fun errand that no-one is going to do.
Besides the e-mails, bank records and photos - I don't see how anyone could claim that there is no evidence.

I LOVE the zest with which posters feel the need to push the fact that Biden JUST met some Chinese people.

And yet Trump just gave his kids jobs......put them in charge of his businesses...and had them make sweet deals with saudis.

but....


meh.

Does this evidence prove President Biden committed any "high crimes and misdemeanors" as president?

That could be why the impeachment attempt failed. They might have evidence of one kind or another...but evidence of wrongdoing? Not so much.

-- A2SG, and that's the important part, isn't it?

I am convinced that they knew that they would not get the votes - and they didn't want to embarrass themselves like the Dems did twice against Trump.

Sure, that sounds like a good excuse. But, I'm just as convinced that, if the GOP had solid evidence of Biden's wrongdoing, they'd go ahead with the impeachment, even if the votes weren't necessarily there. Otherwise, why would they make a big deal about the investigation in the first place?

-- A2SG, but, of course, your mileage may vary....

That's a fair assessment - but they claimed to have receipts - and they mocked Schiff enough to make me think that they wouldn't repeat what he did.

Or they are all in cahoots and they just act like they are fighting to keep us all divided.

I dunno, that sounds more like a Hanlon's Razor situation to me. I just don't believe politicians are that organized, frankly.

-- A2SG, despite what some right-wingers believe about how fanatically and efficiently organized (snicker) the Democrats (snicker) are supposed to be....

You should let the House GOP leadership know. They seemed pretty bummed out they couldn't find any evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden.

Halliburton do good work on providing the chow there?
I gotta admit that KBR and their employees did an excellent job in the Dining facilities where I ate over in Iraq.

The Republicans were in the majority, but without evidence they couldn't even garner party support.
Far too many "Republicans" in Congress are loyal to the ruling establishment uni-party of establishment Democratic and Republican Congressmen & Congresswomen.

You are lucky. The food we got in Kuwait was subpar even by Army standards.

So you are saying they understand how government works and respect the process?
They're the keepers.

No. They should NOT be the keepers at all. Please don't attempt to try to twist the meaning of my post.

Yes, the “purity-tests” will root these infiltrators out.

By all means primary them. It will make it easier for Democrats to take their seats, especially in swing districts.

You mean besides what the House Committee claimed to have?
