There is a bit to unpack with this.

Pelosi is obviously not willing to take any more heat for NOT pursuing impeachment anymore. This is largely a political move on her part; it's not her problem anymore if she sends this off to the Senate and she knows it will die in the Senate. If the House sends it to the Senate, they can tell people to stfu about impeachment demands leveled at House Democrats. I don't think I need to tell you why that would be appealing, lol. It basically means that absolutely nothing will happen at all but Pelosi will stop getting nagged.

This isn't to say that Trump didn't do something that constitutes an impeachable offense; he's done numerous things that constitute that, particularly with respect to Saudi Arabia. This is also not to say that the Biden family isn't also corrupt as Hell. I think I first learned about Hunter Biden's corruption back in... 2015? Politically informed people have known about the Bidens for years. I find it kind of funny that this is only breaking out now because of Trump's (not unjustified) belief that he is above the law.

Corruption is not a partisan issue.

...what? And where was this indignation when Obama arrested more whistleblowers than any previous president and used that threat to intimidate other people from coming forward?

Have you been living under a rock or something? People hated that about Obama on both sides of the political aisle. The only explanation I can come up with for you saying something so stupid is that you don't actually have any idea what people on the political left have been doing for the past few decades because you don't listen to people who disagree with you on subject X long enough to realize that they're with you on subject Y.

Obama is not as popular on the left as people like Biden would have you believe. He just had great PR, lol.

I personally despised the man, particularly for what he and Clinton did in Libya. "B-bu-but Obamaaaaa" is rendered utterly useless the moment you run into someone who criticizes both. Maybe find a better argument?
