Impeachment Inquiry Into Joe Biden May Be Imminent

2023-09-12

[PJ Media] After months of stringing us along, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is reportedly now expected to endorse an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden.

McCarthy has long been reluctant to get behind impeachment without an airtight case. The evidence is damning, and frankly, we’ve waited long enough. Sources tell ABC News that “the next logical step” in the investigation of Joe Biden’s corruption is an impeachment inquiry, which will give Congress the ability to obtain bank records and other documents.

“McCarthy and the House Republican leadership scheduled a closed-door session for Thursday morning so that members could get an update on the investigations led by House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and House Oversight Committee Chair Jamie Comer (R-Ky.),” reports Punchbowl News. “McCarthy plans to say that the two chairs have uncovered enough information that necessitates the House formalizing the impeachment inquiry in order to obtain the Bidens’ bank records and other documents.”

Last week, Comer announced that he believes the House GOP has the votes to open up an impeachment inquiry into Biden. However, at least two Republican congressmen have expressed reluctance to launch such an inquiry, Reps Don Bacon (R-Neb.) and Ken Buck (R-Colo.). Buck appeared on MSNBC this week and even defended Biden.

“The time for impeachment is the time when there’s evidence linking President Biden — if there’s evidence linking President Biden to a high crime or misdemeanor,” Buck told Biden’s former press secretary, Jen Psaki. “That doesn’t exist right now.”

This is, of course, not true. We know that Joe Biden participated in roughly 20 business calls with Hunter’s partners and met with them at the White House while he was vice president. There are also financial reports showing that millions of dollars have been laundered through shell companies and distributed to the Biden family, and an FBI informant who says Burisma bribed Joe and Hunter with $5 million each. Joe Biden literally bragged about using a $1 billion loan as leverage to get the prosecutor investigating Burisma fired, even though the Obama administration had long cleared the loan. There’s even leaked audio of a phone call proving it. And Devon Archer actually testified that Joe Biden was critical to selling the “the Biden brand.”

Democrats impeached Donald Trump twice without evidence as damning as all of that. I’m not sure how Rep. Buck came to his conclusion, but he is a moderate Republican who has also defended the mistreatment of J6 prisoners who were incarcerated for extended periods without due process, so he’s not exactly the best person to make such an assessment.

#14 The "blue moron class" won't learn doodly squat. The yare all rubbing their hands together saying Trump is ineligible to run for President even though he hasn't been convicted of anything, and at the same time the former mayor of Bawlmer, who served time for fraud, is running for mayor again. Just like the way they welcomed Marion Berry back into the fold after he did his stretch.

#13 Man Up Republicans, the inquiry will fore the blue moron class to become aware of just how, sleazy, corrupt and vile Jojo has been. If it is well presented, and I think Comer can do just that, the 20+ Dem Senators up for re-election might not want to risk the stink. Most importantly, its the right thing to do. The six billion to Iran and over 100 billion to Ukraine, 7.5 million new illegals are proof this administration is destroying the country.

#9 An impeachment either goes forward or it doesn’t. If it arrives in the Senate, it has to be adjudicated and voted on. Everybody goes on the record before the election in the House and Senate.
Biden will not likely be removed, but lawmakers will likely be primaried and defeated based on what their actions in this process. Joe has a lousy approval rating and the Dems have no intention of him making it beyond the convention. This action forces everybody’s hand. I think Joe will end up resigning or being removed earlier than the Dems intend. Having President Harris head into the convention is not what they want.

#8 Why do I get the feeling it is all about impressing the voters they tried, and behind the scenes they working on grander plan for themselves.

#7 Well, if it's all uniparty kabuki, this could the GOPe prepping the political stage for Joe's LBJ moment, to say he will choose not to run for the good of the nation.

#4 House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced the House is launching an impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden, citing at least six separate allegations that led to the decision.

#3 Mitch, or even his likely successor, Thune, would happily join Schumer in postponing or squelching it altogether.

#2 No, but dropping full impeachment charges and sending it to the Senate in July during campaign season will be fun.
