The impeachment inquiry House Republicans launched into President Joe Biden may not end with an impeachment vote, House Oversight Chair James Comer, R-Ky., admitted in a recent interview with Spectrum News.

Speaking to the news source last week, Comer indicated that the House holding a vote is decreasingly likely because the "math keeps getting worse" for the GOP, a statement reflecting Republican's narrowing majority and internal skepticism about the merits of the investigation, Mediaite reports.

Comer's probe — which is examining allegations that Biden accepted bribes, laundered money and peddled influence in connection to his son's overseas business activities — has yet to yield any substantial evidence of the president committing any wrongdoing, which some Republican representatives have admitted.

How the Democrat-controlled Senate addresses the recent impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas will be an indication of how their inquiry will go, Comer told Spectrum.

3. All comer has is a copy of a 4k certified check that Hunter wrote to his father. Hunter was paying back his

Father for a 4k advance he needed for a truck!!

Sounds like an impeachable offense to me

4. Haha

"How the Senate handles our first completely fabricated nonsense impeachment will determine if we try to send them another one."

Real leadership, champ.

5. Hey, Comer, 2 plus 2 equals 100 just like you always think it does

... but only in binary arithmetic.

2 is 10 in binary and     10₂ + 10₂ = 100₂

8. There's no such thing as 2.

11. Maddow Blog-Comer's concession: Republicans might never vote to impeach Biden

Republican Rep. James Comer has spent a year crusading for President Joe Biden's impeachment. He's now starting to realize that this probably won't happen.

In the two months since the impeachment inquiry was authorized, their star witness — the man whose claims were the heart of the Republicans’ case — was arrested for lying to the FBI about the Bidens. What’s more, as a new Washington Post report noted, congressional investigators have “compiled an extensive record of sworn statements from firsthand witnesses,” all of whom have confirmed that the president “was never involved” with his son’s business affairs.

It’s against this backdrop that the GOP’s leading anti-Biden crusader is conceding that his campaign might not work out as he’d hoped. Spectrum News reported:

Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the chairman of the House Oversight Committee who is leading the Republican effort to investigate President Joe Biden, says the House may not hold an impeachment vote after all. Comer told Spectrum News that the “math keeps getting worse” for Republicans, whose razor-thin majority in the House got even tighter after losing a Republican-held New York congressional seat [last] week.

The beleaguered Kentucky congressman said he still hoped for congressional action in the coming months, but he added that “accountability” might not come until there’s “a new president [and] a new attorney general.”.....

The scene came to mind watching Trump and his cohorts push for Biden’s impeachment. Confronted with evidence that the Democrat simply did not do what the GOP has accused him of doing, Republicans are declaring, “Impeach him anyway!”

As things stand, impeachment advocates should probably start lowering their expectations.

12. "'Impeach him anyway!'"

That's what they did to Mayorkas and all of this needs to be a campaign ad to show how much money has been spent and wasted on bogus charges brought based on innuendo and lies from criminals who associated with Putin.
