The committee, led by Chairman James Comer, said in the report that it plans to continue to investigate Biden to find evidence of corruption, even as it acknowledged that it had no evidence that he financially benefited from the myriad foreign business dealings of his son Hunter.
Rescoures cost money. Money comes from taxpayers. When you’re increasing the amount of money spent by taxpayers in order to fund investigations that commonly go nowhere, that’s not going to work for very long.
High numbers of investigations that find nothing also serve to make people think all investigations are a waste of time. That gives more talking points for someone getting investigated for strong evidence to color the investigation as being unfounded. That’s already happening, it doesn’t need to have greater effects in public opinion.
Your original comment didn’t mention evidence, just that
Presumably just on the basis of accusation, with disreagrd to evidence? If there needs to be a “shred of evidence,” then there should be a “shred of investigation” before that investigation is closed. There should not be endless investigation into everything around a person based on a “shred of evidence.” On principle, people should not be the subject of criminal investigation “just because.”
