Biden Impeachment Inquiry Falls Apart

February 22, 2024 at 2:54 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“House Republicans reached a critical point this week in their bid to impeach Joe Biden: a closed-door interview with the President’s younger brother James. But the coveted testimony was dramatically overshadowed by another development: The Justice Department indicting one of the impeachment inquiry’s lead informants for lying to the FBI about the Biden family with dirt from Russian intelligence,” Time reports.

Said Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE): “My sense is it’s not going to happen. We should determine the next president through the election.”

Added Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY): “There’s no question this is dead. To the extent that they continue to push forward with it, they are now doing it with a knowing asset of Russian intelligence. It is one thing to lead an investigation where you fail to find evidence to support unfounded conclusions. It is altogether something else when you are acting as an agent of Vladimir Putin.”
