“It’s worth noting in this latest 56-page indictment, the only Biden accused of wrongdoing is Hunter. The House Oversight Committee has been at this for years and they have so far not been able to provide any concrete evidence that Joe Biden personally profited from his son Hunter’s overseas business. But they are going to try again with this impeachment inquiry that’s set to start next week.” – Fox News reporter Peter Doocy, this morning on Fox Business.

Here's what I predict the GOP will eventually end up with

Hunter Biden served in the United States Department of Commerce in 1998.
Impeachment is defined by "The president, vice president, and all civil officers of the United States are subject to impeachment."

So even though Hunter Biden hasn't been under the rules of impeachment for 25 years, the GOP will find some obscure law saying that Hunter Biden is still bound, and therefor subject to impeachment. The GOP will push through the impeachment of Hunter Biden.

The headline will be "Biden Impeached!", and then the GOP will take a victory lap for accomplishing nothing. C'mon, you can even hear the talking points and revisonist history the GOP will use:

"As your GOP elected representative to Congress I vowed to bring the Biden Family to justice and promised to impeach Biden. I've now delivered on that promise to my constituents. Biden has been impeached! If you donate now we can continue our work of rooting out this corruption from our halls of government." - some future GOP rep probably

(just in case its not obvious, I don't actually expect the GOP to try impeach HUNTER Biden)

That would be fucking hilariously stupid.

It would give me a glimmer of hope that even dumbass Republican voters would see what their tax dollars are being wasted on. Doubt it, but a man can dream

And this would make them vote Republican. Republican voters have already been trained to believe that the government is inefficient and stupid. Lo and behold, it's being proven true. And which party runs on a platform of the government being stupid and too big and and need of reduction? Republicans.

It would certainly make me think twice about voting for Hunter Biden. What's he running for again?

I'm sure they've just been busy with their replacement for Obamacare.

Nah, it's infrastructure week.

What's absolutely wild is they're not reporting on business on fox business. They're reporting on politics. Are there even business discussions on fox business? (Have never watched, will never watch, mind you.)

Fox Business used to be on all the time at one of the places I ate lunch: No person who is serious about following business news would ever rely upon Fox Business. It exists for one reason: to blame all bad economic news on the Democrats doing something or the markets being afraid that the Democrats are about to do something and crediting all good economic news to the Republicans doing something or the Republicans thwarting the Democrats in some nefarious, economy destroying plot they had. Other than that, it's the same exact shit they have on regular Fox News.
