He may or may not have the votes, but he certainly doesn't have the evidence. However, that no longer seems relevant for Republicans.
They believe in the rule of law, just like they believe in Jesus. More of a mascot than a coach.
They see impeachment count as a political issue ever since Trump was rightfully impeached twice. Now they can't be the only party with a president impeached so many times.

Another pandering to the base waste of time and taxpayer money.
Yet they keep getting elected.
The problem with morons is they enjoy being pandered to. When a large portion of the voting electorate possesses less critical thinking skills than the average elementary school child, you can see how pandering to what they perceive to be their "in-group" is THE MOST effective strategy. Until education, gerrymandering, and the problems with the electoral college are addressed in this country we will always be in a perpetual position of potential minority rule by the stupid, lowest common denominator of the voting public.
I really believe you should at least have to take a pop quiz on your party's current platform before you're allowed to vote.

Why govern when we can do performance art! Yeah!
I see they still dont have a single accusation for Joe. Hunter is not an elected official.
But what about ummm.... Hunter's dick?
Hunter's hog is a matter of congressional record.
Every day we see another mass shooting in the US, and this is what these idiots are working on.

Good to see Republicans are working on the important things this country really need first...
“Elise and I both served on the impeachment defense team of Donald Trump twice, when the Democrats used it for brazen partisan political purposes. We decried that use of it. This is very different,” Johnson said.
Oh ffs.
To be fair, it is very different. Trump committed some actual crimes. Serious crimes.
Republicans looked the other way, and for good measure plugged their ears while screaming nonsense like a bunch of toddlers who didn't want to hear that it was time for bed.
All the votes and none of the evidence
"claimed the inquiry wouldn’t be used as a partisan political tool"
lol.. not 'used as' one.. it is one.
Johnson - 
How has the White House been stonewalling anything? They've been staying out of it entirely, as has the DOJ seemingly. It's just that y'all conservatives have been failing at proving anything whatsoever about Hunter and have just been making yourselves look like idiots.
Because voting genuinely matters.
They tried to make it not matter but it really really matters. Dems need the voters
GOP probably: Biden is stonewalling by not resigning and relinquishing the White House to Trump.
Does he have any actual evidence?
They have tons of evidence:
- Hunter Biden is the son of the current President.
- The current President isn't a Republican.
See? Tons!
It's all on Hunter Biden's laptop.
"We have hearsay and conjecture, those are kinds of evidence"
Mike ‘lying for the lord’ Johnson
They’re insufferable
He also believes in god… so…. His credibility isn’t great.
A formal impeachment inquiry vote on the floor will allow us to take it to the next necessary step, and I think it’s something we have to do at this juncture.”
While comforting that the republicans feel another fishing expedition would yield result, this is was what was promised last time.
That there would be undeniable proof Biden was corrupt.
And it yielded nothing. They had full access to his bank records/ taxes and couldn't find anything?!
Either I have to assume that Sleepy Biden can hide his secrets better then the whole republican party, or I have to assume that the republican party isn't competent enough to find the evidence.
Something something the enemy is both strong and weak
I thought they've had an impeachment inquiry underway for over a month now, or is that the Senate?
The Senate does not have the power to impeach, and it's controlled by Democrats, so it wouldn't be there. There was something in the works under McCarthy, but can't remember how far it went.
They admitted it was made up as a distraction if I remember correctly.
" Bacon added. “But high crimes and misdemeanors? I don’t think we’ve seen that or enough data to really make a good case and I feel like [Johnson] really agreed with us on that.”
They are just going to keep saying shit because it gives the republican voters something to be angry about and keep the rift.
I've said it before and now again, I will not vote for Hunter Biden for president. The Regressicans need something to do to maybe help someone in this country instead of smiting heathens.
Yet another Benghazi sequel, to establish false equivalency in the minds of low-information voters.

Poor guy lost one of his own yesterday and now he desperately needs some payback pandering.
This is so annoying. Like what are you gonna do it for? Biden being old? Having grey hair?

Won't happen.
Has the votes, too bad he doesn't have the high crimes and misdemeanors.
🙄
He might have the votes, but is completely out of evidence...
Same dude who voted against expelling Santos and fucked up his own intended funding delays. His track record is pristine so far.
