Top Democrat Challenges GOP's Comer To Proceed With Biden Impeachment Vote

Florida Democratic Representative Jared Moskowitz has challenged House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer to call for a vote on impeaching President Joe Biden. This comes in response to a new impeachment report released by House Republicans.

Moskowitz, speaking to the Daily Mail at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, dismissed the report and predicted it would not lead to a successful impeachment.

The nearly 300-page report, compiled by Republicans over the past two years, alleges that the Biden family profited over $27 million from Hunter and James Biden's business deals through "influence peddling."

It also claims that the Justice Department slow-walked federal probes into Hunter Biden for gun and tax crimes. Despite these allegations, Moskowitz insists there is no evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden.

Moskowitz Challenges Comer To Call For Vote

Moskowitz, a member of the Oversight Committee, took a mocking tone towards Comer's efforts, stating, "Comer has finally finished his book report. He's worked really hard on it. He gets a little green star in his star chart."

The Florida representative went on to dare Comer to put the impeachment to a vote. Moskowitz said:

There's been no evidence on Joe Biden. Joe Biden didn't commit anything wrong. But if they're so insistent, right? Well, then call for the vote. I called for it. He refused to second it. What are we waiting for? Tick-tock, James.

This challenge comes after nearly a year of Republican investigations into potentially impeachable offenses by President Biden, who has since decided not to run for reelection.

Moskowitz predicts that Republicans now want to shift their focus to investigating Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who has been chosen as Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate.

The Florida Democrat has a history of confrontations with Comer on the committee, and the Kentucky Republican once referred to Moskowitz as a "smurf."

Republican Leadership's Response To The Report

While the impeachment report has been presented to the full House, it remains unclear whether Republican leadership will bring it to a vote on the House floor.

Speaker Mike Johnson praised the report but did not commit to scheduling an impeachment vote.

The Florida representative's challenge to Comer and his prediction about the impeachment's failure reflect the ongoing political tension surrounding the Biden family investigations.

Comer's New Probe Into Tim Walz

In a separate but related development, Chairman Comer has launched a new investigation into Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, focusing on his ties to China.

In a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, Comer expressed concern that Walz might be "susceptible" to influence from the Chinese Communist Party.

The probe centers on Walz's numerous trips to China, including field trips he organized as a school teacher. Comer is requesting that the FBI turn over any documents related to Walz's communications with Chinese entities and officials to investigate the extent of these ties.

This new investigation into Walz, who is now Vice President Harris' running mate, appears to confirm Moskowitz's prediction that Republicans would shift their focus to the potential vice president.

Conclusion

The impeachment saga continues, with Representative Moskowitz challenging Chairman Comer to bring the impeachment to a vote while predicting it would not pass.

The release of the Republican impeachment report has intensified the political debate, but its impact remains uncertain. Meanwhile, the launch of a new investigation into Governor Tim Walz suggests that Republican scrutiny is expanding to include potential Democratic vice presidential candidates.
