As Republicans ramp up efforts to have Joe Biden impeached, Republican lawmakers don't have much to offer when they're pressed to provide the evidence for what Biden allegedly did, according to The Washington Post's Philip Bump.
So what is their much-hyped evidence pointing at? Asked that question, lawmakers’ answers varied dramatically, which is what happens when you ask a novice fisherman what he hopes to catch, the columnist wrote.
Bump cites the recent appearance of Florida GOP Rep. Byron Donalds on CNN, where he said that Biden “there’s plenty of proof” of Biden wrongdoing involving “bribery, co-conspirator to [Foreign Agents Registration Act] violations — and we can go on and on.”
But, Bump pointed out, he did not go on.

Bump then goes on to reference other comments to media made by Republicans, particularly House Oversight Committee James Comer (R-KY), and pulled them apart with fact-checking.
Among them were accusations of the amount of money the Biden family has illegally "taken in," their allegedly shady business practices and accusations that the president is "compromised."
"No evidence about Joe Biden’s unacceptable actions but, instead, that Joe Biden is somehow linked to a seedy universe of criminality — a link and a universe they’re still struggling to manifest," Bump said.
