Republicans passed an impeachment inquiry vote against President Joe Biden in the House on Wednesday, but they've still been unable to cite evidence for crimes they say he committed — and that's something that is infuriating the hosts of "The View."
On Thursday, the ladies called out Republicans for refusing to have public hearings, with even Republican and former Trump aide Alyssa Farah Griffin saying that the Justice Department should handle Biden's son Hunter's problems, not Congress. Republicans have fixated on business dealings between the president and his son as a potential smoking gun for impeachment.
"Let them deal with it and keep it," Whoopi Goldberg said. "Since you want us to know about this so badly, keep it out so we can hear it. I don't want — every time y'all go behind closed doors, you lie. You leak stuff and then the person who you've leaked it to is — then they have to prove that you lied about what was said because then somebody plays it and it's not at all what was said."

Sara Haines pointed out that the House members tend to lie in the open too.
"I have not seen one shred of evidence that it's tied to Joe Biden," Griffin said. "That's what it comes down to, to me. I'm no Joe Biden fan. Steve Doocy on Fox News has been hammering James Comer. Give me one thing. One piece of evidence. Otherwise, it's a waste of taxpayer dollars."
Sunny Hostin pointed out the fatal flaw in the GOP's claims — that they are searching for the crime, not investigating one.
"When you are prosecuting a case and investigating a case, you're not investigating a person," she said. "You're investigating a crime. And I think Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who I love, was a former prosecutor, and he said the Biden impeachment investigation isn't a whodunit. Like an Agatha Christie novel is the mystery — what's the crime? It's not how you investigate cases and it's political retribution. They're playing politics."
