He also exhorted House Republicans to “fold up the tent to this circus show.” Actually, this is the last of it.
Leading the impeachment probe is House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY).
The committee declared that the FBI and the Department of Justice “have a lot of explaining to do about their reliance on the informant whose allegations were included” in the form of FD-1023.
In a post, X received three questions:
“Why did they use this informant, who officials claimed was highly credible, since 2010?”
“Why did they pay the informant six figures?”
“Why did the DOJ sit on serious allegations from the informant whom the FBI deemed highly credible for years before investigating the claims?”
The panel added, “The American people deserve answers.”
The U.S. House officially authorized its inquiry into President Joe Biden’s possible impeachment late last year.
The Republican-controlled Senate authorized the probe, which is investigating whether Biden unjustly profited from his 53-year-old son Hunter Biden’s overseas business transactions, by a party-line vote of 221-212. Earlier, Hunter Biden had turned down a request to testify in private.
“These are — these are serious times and this is a very serious matter. And I’ve said many times over the last few years, because impeachment has been an issue that we’ve all become all too familiar with, that next to the Declaration of War, you can make an argument that impeachment may be the heaviest power that Congress holds. That — that constitutional responsibility lies with the House,” Johnson started off with a news conference.
“We — we have a duty to pursue the facts where they lead. John Adams famously said ‘Facts are stubborn things.’ And you heard the recitation of that here this morning. These facts are alarming. They’re alarming to the American people, they are alarming to us. And so while we take no pleasure in the — in the proceedings here, we have a responsibility to do it. We’re very proud of the work of these three chairmen that you’ve seen here, Chairman Comer, and Jordan and Smith,” Johnson added.
He continued: “They’ve done an exceptional job on uncovering the obvious corruption. And you’ve heard it here summarized this morning, very succinctly, President Biden and the Biden family. We — we owe it to the American people to continue this process, but to do it methodically, and transparently. Many of you know I was on — I’m a lawyer, I’m constitutional law attorney, I served on President Trump’s impeachment defense team twice. And we lament it openly, and we decried how the Democrats politicize that process, they were brazenly political, and how they — they brought those meritless impeachment charges against the — the president.”
“This what you’re seeing here is exactly the opposite. We are the rule of law team, the Republican Party stands for the rule of law. And the people in charge of this are doing this thoroughly, carefully and methodically. They’re investigating and gathering all the facts,” he said.
