Representative Don Bacon said the investigation into the president was probably nearing its "conclusion."
Representative Don Bacon, a Nebraska Republican, told NBC News' Kristen Welker on Sunday that according to lawyers hired by Congress, "at this point, there's not a specific crime that's been committed" by President Joe Biden in the impeachment probe against him.
In case you need to be reminded, the point here is diluting the impact of conversations about "charges" so that they can say things like, "Biden charges didn't mean anything just like trump charges don't, America isn't interested in wasting time on this, let's move on"
I would say they still failed significantly, they wanted to at least get an impeachment in to be able to say that even trumps impeachments didnt really mean much either.
They may still be able to pivot as you indicated, but the fact that the impeachment process hasn't been minimized is a win for our country in my opinion.
