'Hey Comer!' Dem puts GOP on spot as impeachment effort flails for evidence

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) put House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) on the spot on Wednesday, demanding a vote on impeaching President Joe Biden as Republicans scramble to gather evidence that hasn't yet been shown to exist.

The exchange came during a hearing with Tony Bobulinski, a former business partner of the president's son Hunter Biden. Bobulinski, a retired Navy lieutenant and the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings, has claimed that he has evidence Hunter's international business dealings improperly enriched the whole Biden family, including the president, but has so far not provided anything compelling and has faced accusations of lying under oath.

"If these hearings were a success, right, if what we've been doing for the last fifteen months had convinced the American people that Joe Biden committed a high crime and misdemeanor, you can be damn sure they would have called the vote by now, right?" said Moskowitz. "But they want it to go on. They either want it to go on because they don't have the evidence—"

Bobulinski took the moment to interject. "Are you asking me a question?"

"Oh no, I'm just looking at you," said Moskowitz. "But if you want to talk to me, we can talk."

"I think you haven't read recent data that shows that the American people are well aware of the Bidens' corruption," said Bobulinski.

"Perfect!" exclaimed Moskowitz. "So then ask the chairman why he hasn't called for impeachment, Tony! He's right here. Ask Comer! Hey Comer, why haven't you called for impeachment? I'll do it, watch. Hi, I'm Tony. Hey Chairman, why haven't you called for impeachment, when are you going to have the hearing? When is the vote going to happen? I mean, you believe it, he believes it. He says it every day on TV. I just don't know when we're going to have the vote!"

This comes amid a broad sense among both lawmakers and pundits that the Biden impeachment probe, which seeks to find evidence that Biden laundered international bribes through his son's business deals, is coming up empty.
