BIDEN PUNCHES BACK: The White House has issued a memo to leaders of the U.S. media:

"It’s time for the media to ramp up its scrutiny of House Republicans for opening an impeachment inquiry based on lies. Impeachment is grave, rare, and historic. The Constitution requires ‘treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.’ But House Republicans are publicly stating they have uncovered none of these things.

"After nearly 9 months of investigating, House Republicans haven’t been able to turn up any evidence of the President doing anything wrong."

The memo goes on to quote numerous Republicans who have stated that there is NO evidence to impeach. It also includes a 14-page appendix that "comprehensively addresses the 7 key lies House Republicans are suggesting they are basing an impeachment on.”
