Yep. Several intelligent and informed people have pointed out that unless the full house authorizes them, they’re just an ad hoc gang of thugs who’re trying to push an agenda without the legal right to do so. McCarthy himself being one such person.
After FIVE YEARS of investigating the Bidens, starting when the Department of Justice was under Donald Trump’s control (and, unlike Biden, he took an active role in directing the DOJ about perceived adversaries that should be prosecuted and allies that should be protected) they have found ZERO evidence of wrongdoing by Joe Biden.
Sure, there is evidence of some minor non-violent crimes by a first-time offender (Hunter Biden) which routinely settle with a plea agreement far more lenient than the one that had been secured before a Trump-appointed holdover prosecutor and a Trump-appointed caved to political pressure and scrapped it, but NOTHING that involves Joe Biden.
They have thousands of pages of financial records, but NOTHING that shows direct involvement by Joe in Hunter’s business deals. They have evidence that Hunter would occasionally call his father while with business associates (the ultimate name dropper) and his father would say a few pleasant words, but NOTHING that involved participation in actual business activity. The same “eye witnesses” who confirmed that Hunter called his father while in the presence of associates also testified that no business was discussed.
The bag holds a bit of hot air coming from McCarthy. It also has the proof that he will not be Speaker for much longer. Gaetz is foaming at the mouth now.
EVERY Presidency has had an impeachment inquiry. Doesn’t mean they all succeeded. They won’t again. It’s just a spite move by the Far Right because Trump was impeached twice. Proof of that is they threatened to let the government shut down for it, proving they don’t care about the country; just their pride and hate. They need to be removed from office.
This is for Clay and all the leftists asking for the evidence. What timing. The following list is available detailing 20 events and acts that will answer your question on “Where’s the evidence”. Those that refuse to google the list and yet keep asking “Where’s the evidence” should be banned. The OverviewPublished: Sep 13, 2023Evidence of Joe Biden’s Involvement in His Family’s Influence Peddling Schemes
The only thing they have against President Biden is, he is president while being a Democrat. Their guy committed crimes, so they have to somehow make accusations to place guilt on an innocent man in an effort to deflect responsibility for those crimes.
It doesn’t matter if Biden is guilty or not. The optics for the base are too important to leave up to facts. The closer we get to Nov 2024 the more the Rs will demand impeachment from their members until they get it. Now if 5 of them live in districts that have a purple demographic it could cost them the house.
This is totally off the topic but does anyone know why Jack Ohman is not being included in these left leaning cartoons? I have to remember to look him up.
Tell me again the advantage — to the American people — of a bitterly-divided, obstructive, dysfunctional [do-nothing useful] government that amuses the enemies of democracy and civilization.
This is what the GOP does. They waste time, money, and resources on their own conspiracy theories because that’s all they’ve got. Deflect, obstruct and LIE!
From my news feed today: “In announcing it Tuesday, McCarthy characterized the impeachment inquiry as a “logical next step” amid months of investigations led by House Republicans into the president and his son Hunter Biden. The probes have not uncovered evidence of wrongdoing by the president or ties between him and his son’s foreign business dealings. McCarthy said the inquiry would be led by Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., in coordination with Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo.” Note the portion in bold letters. This is a direct cut and paste from the news site. Also note that “Gym” Jordon is involved. Big surprise there.
Let’s be honest here. The only reasons why Biden is talk of impeaching Biden is because he is a Democrat and because Trump was impeached twice. The Republicans have made a mockery of both the subpoena process and the impeachment process. They have delegitimized both and basically made them a a laughingstock.
