The White House on Friday urged Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to wrap up impeachment efforts against President Biden, arguing House Republicans’ months-long effort to uncover wrongdoing by the president has come up empty.

“I write to you today because it is clear the House Republican impeachment is over,” White House counsel Ed Siskel wrote in the letter to Johnson, which was also shared with the top lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee and House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.

In his first-ever letter to the Speaker, Siskel laid out a dozen instances where witnesses interviewed by lawmakers have refuted allegations that the president profited from his family members’ business ventures. Siskel highlighted testimony from the president’s son, Hunter Biden, his brother, James Biden, and multiple former business associates of Hunter Biden who each said the president was not involved in their business dealings.

The letter also noted two expert witnesses at the House GOP’s first impeachment hearing, Jonathan Turley and Bruce Dubinsky, who both indicated there was not enough evidence of wrongdoing to support articles of impeachment.

1. James Comer was quoted as saying,"Nothing is over until we say it's over.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?”

2. But BUt BUT --- if we stop now, how's we ever gonna get to the truth?

Besides, we only got 6 1/2 months to convince the rubes that Biden is crooked.

3. From what I can tell, the Republican's only conclusion was that Biden is a "well-meaning, elderly man."

That has to be an impeachable offense, right?

7. All true and about time to give up this effort, Cretins.

But before I finish this missive, I'd just like to recommend an all-around condemnation for, one, Johnathan Turley. I can think of few so despicable parading their tarnished wares with such slatternastity* as he. The worst of it is that he cultivated and was granted gravitas by his appearances of PBS and NPR some years ago. Appearing to speak in depth of things we should consider above our ability to comprehend. Thereby commanding a preloaded, preplanned and totally unfounded respect designed to bamboozle those pseudo-illuminati who may still haunt those once hallowed venues into believing his pathetic pro-Trumpian bombast legitimate and his appearance as a Fox news regular a sure-fire sign that some of the stuff on Fox has actual value. He does not talk straight and neither does Fox unless lurking nearby with a dagger poised for a stab into their victim's back, is a shill like Turley.

His usual spiel of bullshit logic goes something like this, I paraphrase:
2, a simple and wholesome number between 1 and 3, when added to a whole and suspect number 2, an integer between 0.04 and 3 million thirty-seven, creates, though not necessarily signifies, a sum of 5, which, of itself, is not significant nor meritorious of historical or made-up critical thinking, the intention of the founders or arithmetic, either. So, obviously, Trump is within his constitutional rights again, and we would be walking into dangerous legal territory, becoming a threat for the nation, were we to disagree based on the accepted evidence at hand and the often-disputed layman nee-colloquial rumor-mongering that the true sum is, for some, 4.

* Dear reader,
Slatternastity is a real word for people like Johnathan Turley.
