1) This impeachment inquiry seems to me to be a good thing if the rest of the “inquiry” goes as the first day did. Because it will have the effect (at least to rational people) of making the “Biden crime family” stories go away. Instead of Biden having to defend himself against some murky, ill-defined charges, he can just say “they looked and looked and didn’t find anything”. And he can also point out how ridiculous it all was, to tie up members of Congress investigating before any evidence had been found pointing to Biden’s guilt (I’m still not sure what exactly the Trumplicants think that Biden is guilty of). And it’s not only pointless, but plainly vindictive (Biden should make liberal use of the “they did it to us” quote from Trump).
2) Note the use of the qualifier “rational people” above. This will make little to no difference to the Trump base. Trump will just say that they did a bad job or that “we all know that Biden is a crook” and that will be enough to convince his base of Biden’s guilt. And if the reaction to The Big Lie is any indication, some will likely even believe that evidence was found.
3) Those Trumplicants piling on Comer and Jordan have to consider this: most of them absolutely demanded that this happen even though there was no evidence to justify it. So what did they expect Comer and Jordan to do – make up evidence (maybe that’s not a question that we should try to answer)? They forced an impossible job on those two, and then seem disappointed that Comer and Jordan couldn’t deliver the goods. And, of course, it’s not the fault of those demanding the investigation. It’s Comer’s and Jordan’s. How very “Trumpy” of them. Still, it couldn’t happen to two nicer people.
4) Is there an over/under pool on the actual number of times Biden will be “investigated”?
