'Hard Evidence' Not Needed In Biden Probe? Fox Cuts Guest Off

Fox News anchor Jacqui Heinrich seemed taken aback when contributor Miranda Devine suggested that "hard evidence" isn't needed in the Hunter Biden investigation that's being used to try to impeach President Joe Biden. Republicans suffered a setback when a key witness, ex-FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, was arrested. However, Devine desperately tried to claim that that key witness wasn't a key witness. Republicans said he was a key witness, though.

"What I didn't hear from James Comer was any claim that they have something new that would clinch their case," Heinrich said. "Did you?"

"Well, I mean, Hunter says that he was high or drunk, and he sent that WhatsApp message to the wrong person," Devine said. "I mean, there were dozens of WhatsApp messages, and he got the $5 million as he'd asked for a few days later. So that doesn't wash."

"I mean, I think that you know, people asking for the smoking gun from James Comer are just being unrealistic or being deliberately -- trying to discredit his inquiry because, of course, you're not going a find a check made out by Zlochevsky or Vladimir Putin or somebody in Ukraine to Joe Biden," she continued. "That's not how these things work."

"You know, there's just so much evidence," she said while not presenting any evidence. "It's kind of ridiculous to hear the Democrats keep this mantra up of "There is no evidence." But unfortunately, that gets carried in a lot of the media as well."
