The Biden impeachment inquiry seems to attract witnesses who turn out to be con artists and criminals for some reason. The Republican inquisitors get a tip that somebody's got the goods on "the Biden family" and they fan out to the right-wing media to hail the news that they've finally nabbed the Big Guy. Then the truth inevitably comes out that they were played for fools.
The alleged crime at the center of the impeachment probe is still that ridiculous claim that then vice president Joe Biden was working on behalf of his son's business, Burisma, in Ukraine when he pushed the government to fire a prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, whom they claim was investigating the company. The problem is that Shokin wasn't investigating the company at all and was actually ousted because he failed to investigate corrupt politicians. (No wonder all these Republicans find him to be such a sympathetic figure.) In fact, the whole international community was agitating to have him fired because he was corrupt and the Ukrainian parliament finally did it.
