In a lengthy report released on the first day of the Democratic National Convention, Republicans used circumstantial evidence to accuse the president of corruption tied to his son’s foreign business dealings.

House Republicans on Monday formally made the case for impeaching President Biden, releasing a lengthy report accusing him of corruption and seeking to allow his family to profit off his office in connection with foreign business deals made by his son Hunter, who has been charged with felony tax crimes.

In the 291-page document, released on the day that Democrats gather in Chicago to begin their party convention, Republicans call Mr. Biden’s conduct “egregious” and say he should be impeached for abuse of power and obstruction. But the report contains no proof that Mr. Biden, when he was vice president, engaged in any corrupt quid pro quo to benefit his son’s business partners, and Republicans admit they have no direct evidence that he ordered any interference into a Justice Department investigation into Hunter Biden.

    Strictly a coincidence that it was released on Day 1 of the Democratic Convention. I can’t believe it. How crazy is that?

      Republicans opportunistic timing really undersells their seriousness.

      That, and the lack of evidence.

        When was the last time they were serious? The early 90’s?

          If you were to ask him, they are always deadly serious. But yeah I agree with you, feels like the '90s was the last time you could take anything they said as legitimate.
