#Republicans in #Congress built their #impeachment case against #POTUS Biden around a #bribery accusation that the #FBI had warned them was #uncorroborated.

We’re approaching #Wompage territory….

GOP now openly admitting that they blew $41M -- in their own salaries alone -- pursuing a no-evidence of #impeachment, all for naught.

#House #GOP increasingly acknowledging they don't have the votes to impeach #Biden:
Bacon estimated 20-30 are not in favor "mainly because it smells bad what he did, it looks bad, but when you ask them what crime is committed — they can’t tell you"

Senate rejects #Mayorkas #impeachment charges at trial, ending GOP bid to oust him
Desperation.

… a loss on the floor at this stage by Republicans would undercut the report and be an unforced error by the GOP.
It would also train additional attention on the Republican effort to impeach Mr. #Biden – and take the spotlight off of Vice President Harris. Republicans are still trying to define #Harris and present her in a negative fashion to the public. Going back to President Biden diminishes the strategy to focus on Harris.

It's totally unsustainable for Democrats to argue " #Trump is a dangerous authoritarian criminal who is openly disregarding the constitution and taking bribes--which is why it's idiotic to call for #impeachment."
You can say it's too soon, but it's what the constitution requires.

It still seems hard to believe, but in the last #Congress, the #House #Republican majority formally launched an #impeachment inquiry against Joe #Biden. The endeavor never made any sense, but the underlying allegation was that the Democratic president was somehow the beneficiary of a weird #bribery scheme.
