Biden Impeachment Inquiry at a Standstill?

Give the Democrats this much: The 2019 Ukraine-related impeachment may have involved executive abuse for which a presidential impeachment was a disproportionate response, but once President Trump’s opponents went that route, they were single-minded and relentless.

Not so the current House impeachment inquiry regarding President Biden. It’s been over a week since the first hearing. I thought caterwauling on the right about the first hearing was misplaced. Many complained that there were no new revelations of great moment. To me, that was more a reflection of how far the standing committees (Oversight, Judiciary, and Ways and Means) had advanced public awareness in just eight months.
