Look, I'm keeping an open mind. If there is evidence then let's see it. I want the smoking gun.
I would like to say the same, and I'm all for fighting corruption, but it's all so nakedly political as to be meaningless. What's the standard? Lying during a deposition about getting a blowjob? Impeachable. Pressuring the president of a foreign government to open an investigation into a political rival in exchange for weapons? Not impeachable. Lying about a stolen election and inciting a riot on the capital? Not impeachable. Having a fuckup as a son? Impeachable. Then there's Clarence Thomas - lying on federal disclosure forms for decades and receiving lavish gifts of travel, cash, home improvements for your mom? So not impeachable nobody even seriously considered it.
The point is, we all know Biden is getting impeached no matter what, it's all political bullshit. If he actually did receive bribes, that would just be a happy coincidence, because ultimately the evidence doesn't matter.
Tbf trump was impeached on both counts, just not convicted
But I agree with your sentiment. Some of these are not like the others..
Here's a sequence of the firing of Shokin, Prosecutor General for Ukraine:
It's crucial to note that Biden's threat could only have weight if Obama was backing it.
While I appreciate your open mindedness, these jokers in Congress are accusing Biden of something they know he didn't do. Even Trump's personal hatchet man in the DOJ, Bill Barr, refused to investigate Biden over this.
They've been looking for a smoking gun for years now and haven't shown any evidence yet.
