'What a joke': Even MAGA influencers aren't buying GOP's Biden impeachment report
House Republicans released a long-awaited report hours before the Democratic National Convention is set to begin accusing president Joe Biden of impeachable conduct, but conservatives were disappointed.
The House Oversight, Judiciary and Ways and Means committees issued a nearly 300-age report summarizing the findings of their year-and-a-half long investigation alleging that Biden enriched himself through his family’s business dealings and concealed his mishandling of classified information while in office but deferred to the full House on whether to formally pursue impeachment.
“The totality of the corrupt conduct uncovered by the Committees is egregious," the report states. "President Joe Biden conspired to commit influence peddling and grift. In doing so, he abused his office and, by repeatedly lying about his abuse of office, has defrauded the United States to enrich his family."
However, the findings landed with a thud, as many questioned whether the evidence actually supported the GOP's conclusions and others questioned the timing of the report, which came out the day that Biden will symbolically pass the torch to Kamala Harris in his convention address.

"Republicans releasing a report on impeachable offenses by Biden a month after Democrats kicked him to the curb, and WHILE THEY ARE STILL ON VACATION, is the most Republican thing that ever Republicaned," said conservative commentator Steve Deace.
won’t be doing anything to impeach Joe Biden. This is all for show. Congressional Republicans are professional gaslighters."
"LOL - 3 years too late. What a joke," grumbled fellow right-wing influencer Catturd.
"Wow, what an amazing coincidence that this obvious BS GOP report accusing Joe Biden of 'impeachable conduct' drops in an exclusive to Fox News on the first day of the DNC," said Matthew Gertz, senior fellow at the left-leaning Media Matters for American. "It happened to be completed just in time!"
Even Fox News didn't seem especially enthusiastic about the report's findings, Gertz added.
"The 'breaking news' ran in the back half of Fox & Friends' 6 a.m. hour and basically vanished the rest of the show," Gertz said. "Even Fox hosts can't pretend to care about this nonsense anymore."
"No Biden hasn’t committed impeachable offenses," said CNN legal analyst Norm Eisen, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institute. "Quite the opposite: the GOP found zilch. This whole inquiry was nothing more than a Trump vendetta."
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), who led the House Judiciary Committee's investigation, drew heated criticism from Donald Trump fans who want Biden thrown in prison.
"We’re so tired of hearing impeachment impeachment," said Trump supporter and self-described "cruise fanatic" Darlene Hale. "We want their asses arrested and thrown in prison do your damn job."
"Jesus Jim, a day late and a dollar short," said self-identified "America First patriot" Drew Middleton. "We’ve been telling you this since 2016. It very apparent you take your time to protect yourself. This is no longer acceptable. These people committed Treason at the highest level. GITMO or bust."
Rep. James Comer (R-KY), who led the House Oversight Committee investigation, also caught flak from conservatives.
"We needed this a year ago Mr. Comer," said Jason Goodman, founder of Crowdsource the Truth. "I appreciate you, but this is a fail. If you want to change anything of substance, make congress a mandatory 9 to 5 with two weeks off. Failure to meet performance criteria triggers a new election in the failed district. Action not words."
"A little late since you’ve had this evidence for years," sniffed "MAGA patriot" Deborah Anderson. "Thanks for nothing."
"You will have NO PARTY left when Trump is gone," snarled X user VK. "Just look at the polling for Senate seats you complicit corrupt frauds. Trump is the ONLY reason we barely put up with you."
