On Friday morning, Fox News shill, Harris Faulkner, hosted ultra-MAGA Republican <em>&#8220;representative&#8221;<\/em> Andy Biggs, who outlined his entirely baseless reasoning for why Biden should be removed from office&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Faulkner:<\/strong> Would you impeach the sitting President over this if it came to that?<br \/>\n<strong>Biggs:<\/strong> Probably, yes, where it sits today. And I&#8217;ll tell you why. There are least seven or eight additional indicia that Joe Biden was involved in Hunter Biden&#8217;s business. And this provides the quid pro quo. There are tapes purportedly out there, there are seventeen of them which &#8211; by the way the number was the FBI redacted originally when I saw the document &#8211; but the point is you have a series of different witnesses, whether it&#8217;s Rob Walker, where it&#8217;s the AUSA, and whether it&#8217;s the Zeigler and the other whistleblower, Shapley, who basically said they believe it was Joe Biden that was involved here. And that leads us to move to an impeachment inquiry. And that&#8217;s really where the first step is, so you flesh it out a little bit more.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&quot;Probably yes&quot; &#8212; Rep.

Which is pretty much the same argument that Bigfoot hunters use to affirm his existence and likely acceptance of bribes.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the most recent speculation about Biden&#8217;s supposed misconduct was triggered by the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/rare-move-grassley-releases-unverified-fbi-source-report\/story?id=101531599\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">release of an internal FBI form<\/a><\/strong> by GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley. The <em>&#8220;FD-1023&#8221;<\/em> form contained an agent&#8217;s reporting of unverified information from a questionable source. It spun a tale of the CEO of a Ukrainian company, Burisma, who Republicans falsely claim has implicated Biden in a bribery scheme. The GOP resorted to coercing the FBI to provide the confidential document so that they could misrepresent it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=57006\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">McCarthy Threatens FBI Director with Contempt for Not Aiding His Petty Persecution of Biden<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, reality has debunked the GOP&#8217;s assertions.

He reported that he <em>&#8220;met Burisma&#8217;s CEO once and spoke with him on the phone twice and was unable to &#8216;provide any further opinion as to the veracity&#8217; of what the CEO claimed.&#8221;<\/em> <\/p>\n<p>So once again, they have nothing but conjecture and their rancid fantasies. What&#8217;s more, the release of the form was an inappropriate breach of confidentiality that put the investigation and persons involved at risk. Not that Republicans care about that.
