House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) bluntly confronted Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and demanded to know what crime he plans to impeach Biden for.
Raskin told Comer during an oversight committee hearing: “You haven’t identified a single crime, but what is the crime that you want to impeach Joe Biden for and continue with this nonsense? Why? What is the crime? Tell America now.”
President Comer responded: “You are about to find out what the crime is. You’re about to find out.”

James Comer has been promising for almost a year and a half now to reveal what crime President Joe Biden committed, yet there is still no crime. There is no high crime or misdemeanor for Biden. There are no articles of impeachment.
The country’s presidential elections are less than seven months away. James Comer has wasted millions of taxpayer dollars, and is no closer to impeaching the President than he was when this fiasco began.
It’s time for this pretense to end.
Democrats have had enough of Comer’s games. House Republicans don’t have impeccable crimes. They keep promising that the bombshell is coming, but there is no bombshell. There is nothing, and even the Republicans have realized that Biden’s impeachment will not happen.
