House GOP Report: No Evidence for Impeachment, Warns of 'Dangerous Precedent'

The House GOP released their impeachment report on Monday ahead of the Democrats report that is expected to come to the opposite conclusions.

The House GOP also warned that the Democrats are creating "dangerous precedent" by turning the impeachment process into a political tool.

According to Fox News:
“The evidence presented does not prove any of these Democrat allegations, and none of the Democrats’ witnesses testified to having evidence of bribery, extortion, or any high crime or misdemeanor,” Republicans said in a 123-page report, timed to be made public ahead of the majority Democrats’ impeachment report.

House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes, R-Calif.; Oversight Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan, R-Ohio; and Foreign Affairs Committee Ranking Member Michael McCaul, R-Texas, penned the minority report, which has been reviewed by Fox News. In it, they broadly defend the president’s actions in the face of accusations he withheld military aid and a White House meeting as leverage to pressure Ukraine to launch a probe involving the Bidens.

“The Democrats’ impeachment inquiry is not the organic outgrowth of serious misconduct; it is an orchestrated campaign to upend our political system,” the Republicans wrote.

They added: “This impeachment inquiry and the manner in which the Democrats are pursuing it sets a dangerous precedent.”

The Republicans also refuted the claim that President Trump conditioned a meeting with Zelensky on an investigation of the Bidens. In fact, President Trump extended an invitation to Zelensky three times.
