House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced Tuesday that the House would open an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden despite mentioning in the past that an impeachment inquiry would need a House vote.
McCarthy still has this tweet displayed on his accountâŚ
Moving forward with this opens up subpoena powers for the GOP within the House ahead of whatâs shaping up to be a historical presidential campaign season in which the Republican front-runner Donald Trump will more than likely be embroiled in multiple criminal trials. Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.), Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), and Ways and Means Committee Chair Jason Smith (R-Mo.) are expected to oversee the GOP efforts in the House into Joe and Hunter Bidenâs dealings which McCarthy called the âlogical next stepâ that will âgive our committees the full power to gather all the facts and answers for the American public.â
As impeachment has become more of a tit-for-tat instead of dealing with the actual substance of presidents doing shit jobs thereâs a chance this all blows up in face of McCarthy.
Republicans in the House and the Senate have already gone on record saying they havenât seen enough evidence to impeach with Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) saying on Tuesday that as of now I donât supportâ an impeachment inquiry. Bacon added that impeachment âshould be based on evidence of a crime that points directly to President Biden, or if the President doesnât cooperate by not providing documents.â
As much as we hate to personally agree with Christie in the above clip he has a point. Although the premise is something we most certainly wouldnât agree on given his role as a government stooge and establishment politician. Thatâs also not to say that Trump shouldnât have gotten impeached before for trying to overthrow an election, he most certainly should have. But if weâre launching probes into shady shit to the extent of what Joe and Hunter Biden may have done then how many other presidents wouldâve gotten impeached for something morally similar in the past?
