We finally heard from their star witness, and it was the Democrats who demanded a transcript of his testimony be released.
This was only interesting in that much of the Republican media believed the hype and had their stories prepared and released them, only to find he testified to the opposite of what their Republican contacts said he would say.
Doesn't matter, their brain-dead followers never look for the truth anyway, just what their college dropout conservative "news" hosts tell them. They will probably never realize he testified there were no bribes from Hunter and Joe Biden and will blame the liberal media for the story going away.

In recent weeks, the Republicans in Congress, especially on the House Oversight Committee, have been alleging something explosive: President Biden, while vice president, accepted a $5 million bribe from a Ukrainian oligarch.
If that were true, it would likely represent a presidency-ending scandal for Biden. But the charges have always been incredibly thin. They are based on a years-old document, long in possession of the FBI, and they are backed by supposed tape recordings that even the most anti-Biden figures acknowledge may not actually exist. And while a $5 million bribe would likely produce a paper trail of some sort, no such trail has been uncovered.
And now, the leading Democrat on the Oversight Committee has produced a transcript of an interview with the person accused of the bribe- who says that he has never talked to Biden, much less bribed him with $5 million. ...
“Despite being interviewed as part of a campaign by Mr. Giuliani and his proxies in 2019 and 2020 to procure damaging information about the Biden family, Mr. Zlochevsky explicitly and unequivocally denied those allegations,” Rep. Raskin said in a statement. “Specifically, Mr. Zlochevsky denied (1) that anyone at Burisma had ‘any contacts’ with then former Vice President Biden or his representatives while Hunter Biden served on the Burisma board, and (2) that former Vice President Biden or his staff ‘in any way’ assisted Mr. Zlochevsky or Burisma.”
Those are the allegations, per Raskin, contained in Form FD-1023 in June 2020, that the Republicans on the committee have claimed are proof of a bribe to the president.
“No one from Burisma ever had any contacts with VP Biden or people working for him during Hunter Biden’s engagement,” Zlochevksy said in the interview. He also answered no when asked if Biden, while vice president, had done anything to assist Burisma.
This contradicts not only the idea that Biden accepted a bribe, but also demolishes years of conspiracy theories that Biden pushed for the firing of a Ukrainian prosecutor in order to keep them from investigating Burisma.
Lev Parnas, the former Giuliani crony, reacted on Twitter to the release of the interview.
The transcript, per Parnas, “debunks the lies and conspiracy theories that Rudy Giuliani, @RepMTG @RepJamesComer and their corrupt cohorts in the @GOP have been pushing on the American people.”

Archer is their star witness. He said no bribes.
To counter this bad news, instead, Sen. Greasley and others flooded conservative media as if he said the opposite, and implied the original FBI report from an informant wasn't a many times debunked twice removed hearsay that Guillani was told was false and what their star witness debunked again.
I could go into all their other nothing-burger debunked investigations since the Clintons they only have to fundraise off of, and keep their ignorant base riled up.
