Dem Congressman Cedric Richmond appears to be watching golf on laptop during impeachment debate on Dec 12, 2019, which aired in full-view on CNN. GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said: “Democrats on Nadler’s Committee are so ‘solemn’ and ‘prayerful’ about impeachment that they’re watching golf at the hearing. This partisan sham has been an absolute waste of the American people’s time.”

In this Dec. 12, 2019 video, GOP lawmakers John Ratcliffe, Greg Steube, Doug Collins, Louie Gohmert, Jim Jordan, Ken Buck, Matt Gaetz , Ben Cline , Andy Biggs, Guy Reschenthaler, Kelly Armstrong, Rep Debbie Lesko and Steve Chabot argued against the two impeachment articles in the House Judiciary Committee hearings.

Dec 12, 2019. Rep. Matt Gaetz attacked Democrats for brushing off concerns about Hunter Biden’s role on the board of Burisma, given his controversial past, “An essential element of the Democrats’ case on abuse of power is that the Bidens did nothing wrong. It can only be an abuse of power and not a correct use of power if the president was pursuing something under which there was no reasonable basis to ask a question about Hunter Biden and Burisma. Hunter Biden and Burisma, well, that’s an interesting story. And I think just about every American knows there’s something up with that.”

He referenced a New Yorker profile that detailed Hunter Biden combing a homeless shelter in search of cocaine. He also included details of when Biden left a crack pipe in a car rented from Hertz, which led to Biden’s discharge from the Navy. He said, “I don’t want to make light of anybody’s substance abuse issues. I know the president’s working real hard to solve those throughout the country. But it’s a little hard to believe that Burisma hired Hunter Biden to resolve their international disputes when he could not resolve his own dispute with Hertz rental car over leaving cocaine and a crack pipe in the car.” “Again, I’m not casting any judgment on any challenges someone goes through in their personal life, but it’s just hard to believe that this is the guy wandering through homeless encampments buying crack who was worth $86,000 a month to Burisma Holdings.”

Rep Debbie Lesko: “17 out of 24 of my Democratic colleagues that have already voted on the House floor to continue with articles of impeachment. You guys have been wanting to impeach this president since he got elected.”

Rep. Matt Gaetz said: “There is clear evidence of wrongdoing between Hunter Biden, the former Vice President Joe Biden, and the Ukraine and the corporation Burisma,” Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) said early during Thursday’s hearing, despite the fact that there is no such evidence; and even if there was, the US president doesn’t normally personally ask foreign governments to investigate individual Americans. “So the idea that there was a smear [of the Bidens] going on — let’s look at the facts.”
