The House Oversight Committee announced its first panel over what they're calling an impeachment of President Joe Biden.

The House has not voted on whether or not to impeach Biden.

Among those chosen was attorney Jonathan Turley, who still purports to support Democrats but regularly attacks them and supports Donald Trump in Fox appearances.

“This week, the House Oversight Committee will present evidence uncovered to date and hear from legal and financial experts about crimes the Bidens may have committed as they brought in millions at the expense of U.S. interests,” House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) said in a release.

Another witness is a founder of a forensic accounting firm, Bruce Dubinsky. Former assistant attorney general at the Justice Department for Texas named Eileen O'Connor will also appear.

Lawyer and writer Luppe B. Luppen a.k.a. @nycsouthpaw remarked, "Just absurd that Turley is still in good standing in the halls of Congress."

National security expert Marcy Wheeler cracked up on the social media site previously known as Twitter.

"Holy fu--ing s--t. Not ONLY is @jamescomer planning an impeachment hearing while Republicans are struggling to keep the govt open, but he invited JONNY TURLEY because he couldn't find a real expert. Pathetic. He couldn't find an expert!!!!!!" she tweeted.

Rep. Don Beyer's deputy chief of staff, Aaron Fritschner pointed out that in 1998, Turley was all for impeachment. In 2019, he argued against it. Now that he's back in 2023, he's likely to say it's good again.

"Have to hand it to @JonathanTurley for being the most shameless and cynical person in this town, it’s a remarkable achievement," he posted.

"Let's be clear: Jonathan Turley is a MAGA hypocrite. He is a Trump loyalist who defended Trump during his first and second impeachment trials, demonstrating blatant hypocrisy time and time again," said the Congressional Integrity Project.

Historian Kevin Kruse knocked Turley saying, "Jonathan Turley is 'nationally recognized' in the sense that Carrot Top is 'nationally recognized."'
