House GOP Push to Impeach Biden Has Not Gone Well

By Leave a Comment

Philip Bump: “This is not how Comer’s first year running Oversight worked out. Instead of using his majority to methodically flesh out the existing allegations against the president, Comer and his allies — including Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee — found themselves offering up baseless or debunked allegations to a conservative media ravenous for them. Throughout 2023, Comer, Jordan and their allies made little progress toward Comer’s stated target — but did manage to significantly erode their credibility.”

“This is most easily demonstrated by considering the slew of allegations and insinuations that Comer in particular offered as 2023 unfolded.”
