Don Bacon is admitting that MAGA Republicans have yet to find “a specific crime that has been committed” in the Biden impeachment inquiry. Yet Bacon is STILL pushing Congress to waste even more time and taxpayer dollars on the inquiry, stating that he doesn’t “know if it’s time, right now” to “drop” the investigation.
Over four months ago, Bacon already admitted Biden has “probably not” committed an impeachable offense. Despite this, Bacon chose to continue propping up the facade, playing a leading role and helping his party bosses build support for the inquiry.
Bacon, per usual, is falling in line with whatever Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans tell him to do.
DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“It’s no wonder Don Bacon and MAGA Republicans are leading the most unproductive Congress since the Great Depression; Bacon wants to continue wasting time and taxpayer dollars on an impeachment inquiry that he knows is baseless, all because he refuses to stand up to his party.”
The impeachment probe against President Joe Biden is “probably nearing the conclusion,” said Republican Rep. Don Bacon. The congressman said that lawyers for the committees investigating Biden “say, at this point, there’s not a specific crime that has been committed.”
“The lawyers and the committee that I talk to say there’s not a specific crime,” Bacon said during a Sunday appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press. “And he’d need that for high crime or misdemeanor.”
“I think it merited an investigation to put the facts out, let the public look at it, make a determination,” he added. “And I think it’s good to be transparent, especially in an election year, so let’s put the facts on the table. But when I talked to the lawyers on the committee staff, they say, at this point, there is not a specific crime that’s been committed. And I think that’s important.”
When host Kristen Welker asked the congressman if now is the time to “drop” the investigation, he said, “I don’t know if it’s time, right now. But I do think we’re probably nearing the conclusion of this investigation.”
Earlier this month, Alexander Smirnov, a key witness in the investigation, was charged with lying to federal authorities and admitted that Russian intelligence was “involved in passing a story” about the president’s son.
