A quotation from Roosevelt, Theodore:
«
If a public man tries to get your vote by saying that he will do something wrong in your interest, you can be absolutely certain that if ever it becomes worth his while he will do something wrong against your interest.

Whether in his personal life or his public life, he has been accused of so many acts of #wrongdoing, investigated by so many prosecutors & agencies, sued by so many plaintiffs & claimants that it requires a scorecard just to remember them all.

#Rightwing loons continue to peddle the objective #lie that there's a mountain of #evidence of #impeachable #wrongdoing by #PresidentBiden. This despite the fact that not a single shred of evidence has been uncovered. Even elected #Republicans are publicly admitting there's no evidence. But you wouldn't know that if you got your information from right-wing #media.
In the #UnitedStates, the #burdenOfProof is on the "accuser" — which is a "bedrock principle of our entire system."
That said, the fact that Rep. #RalphNorman (R-SC) got this wrong helps shed some light on his party's evidence-free #impeachment crusade: It appears some #Republicans expect #Biden to somehow come up with even more #evidence of his #innocence, rather than expecting the #GOP to produce evidence of #wrongdoing.

Let the bullshit begin! Earlier today, Sen. #ChuckGrassley admitted that there's no #evidence of #wrongdoing by #PresidentBiden, and yet here we are as the sun sets, and the #HouseRepublicans have voted to open an #impeachment inquiry. This is the biggest and most embarrassing #fishingExpedition in modern history. It's going to blow up in the #Republicans' faces, and ultimately help Joe #Biden in the #2024election. Mark my words.

More desperate bullshit from #JamesComer. The #Biden family had legitimate business interests in some #Chinese companies before Joe Biden was #president. The fact that some money from these businesses indirectly made its way to #JoeBiden isn't a secret, nor is it evidence of #wrongdoing. So, the fact that Comer "found" $40k attributed to these Chinese companies is utterly irrelevant, even tho Comer wants to present it as some big gotcha. Comer is transparently #pathetic.

#Republicans aren't even pretending to act in #goodFaith. They're not even pretending their apparent plan to #impeach #JoeBiden is based on any actual #evidence of #wrongdoing. They are telegraphing a 100% #political basis for holding #sham #hearings, and seeking the #President's #impeachment. This should disgust every #American.

And still not a shred of #evidence of criminal #wrongdoing. How many times do you think House #Republicans can recycle the same tired #innuendo? How many times can they pretend Rudy #Giuliani's discredited #Ukraine story is compelling new evidence? These people have no evidence. All they have are #allegations by problematic individuals with a personal interest in fabricating stories about Joe Biden. Allegations are not evidence.
