The nearly 300-page report is a summary of the investigation conducted by the House Oversight, Judiciary and Ways and Means committees over the past year and a half, nearly all of which has already been made public.

It argues that Biden enriched himself through his family’s business ventures and concealed his mishandling of classified information in office, the subject of the investigation conducted by special counsel Robert Hur, who declined to press charges this year.

In addition, the committees say that the Justice Department mishandled its investigation into his son Hunter Biden’s tax problems and that the White House has withheld key documents and witnesses from the impeachment investigation.

The investigators put the total at $27 million, according to the bank records they received. But the investigators failed to turn up evidence that Biden himself received money from those companies or participated in the foreign business deals beyond the occasions when Hunter Biden called him on speakerphone to exchange pleasantries while in the company of foreign business associates or when he saw them at his son’s birthday dinner.

Someone remind me… didn’t Joe Biden drop out of the race? Wouldn’t that mean that this transparent political hit job was a colossal waste of time on the part of the Republicans?

    Hmm. That sounds familiar. I could swear it was a different family.

        No, no, you see, it’s only nepotism when liberals do it. When Trump does it, it’s just sparkling corruption.

      That’s the Republican method of operation. Accuse your opponent of doing what you are doing. When you point out that it’s their guy doing it, they just claim you are the one lying. Their base is so deeply programmed they believe it.
