Punchbowl News:

Quote:
Breaking News: Speaker Kevin McCarthy plans to tell House Republicans in a closed meeting this week that launching an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden is the “logical next step” in the GOP’s probes of the president and his son, Hunter Biden.

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.). 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.

It remains to be seen whether there are 218 House Republicans who’d vote to authorize an impeachment inquiry. Several moderate Republicans — including Reps. Ken Buck (Colo.) and Don Bacon (Neb.) — have been skeptical of the need for an impeachment inquiry. So McCarthy will have to really work this vote if that’s the direction he wants to go.


Seems like a good way to let the Dems take back the House.

Sorry, but this is funny: the GOP doesn’t even have the votes.

NEWS — House is NOT expected to vote on an impeachment inquiry, sources tell me. They will open the inquiry without a vote. This would’ve been a tough vote for House Rs.

McCarthy will announce this shortly at his news conference


Would anyone even have to comply with the investigations if the House doesn’t make it official by, you know, voting on it?

It’s all being pushed by Sextraffic Gaetz and Marginal Taylor Greene due to McCarthy’s deal with the devil to get the speakership.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

In the pantheon of stupid things the Republican Party does to lose elections, I’ll make a list which includes the hypothetical Biden impeachment

1. Biden impeachment
2. Abortion stance
3. Herschel Walker as candidate
4. Mehmet Oz as candidate
5. Sarah Palin as candidate.

Sen. John Fetterman sarcastically responded to McCarthy's impeachment announcement, telling NBC News: "Oh my God, really? Oh my gosh! You know, oh, it's devastating,” while laughing and making scary ghost noises. "Oooh don't do it! Please don't do it! Oh no! Oh no!"


That made me lol

And yet...everyone with a working brain knows that Joe's son, Hunter lacked the qualifications to warrant being paid fifty G's a month for doing ... nada.

Hell, the drug fiend can't even speak the language.

I hope the republicans are able to follow the money trail: how far down the rabbit hole will this go?

Could be fun.

How qualified was Jared to get $2 billion from the Saudis?

As long as the money was paid legally for legal reasons, should we even care?

When 50% was being kicked back to his Dad, yes you should care.

Do we know the circumstances under which Hunter allegedly wrote that? Was he joking? Was he paying his father back for loans? Was he giving his father money for investing or support? Inquiring minds want to know!

NEW: The Biden administration has a literal Trump card to play against the House GOP impeachment inquiry:

In 2020, Trump’s DOJ issued a binding legal opinion that impeachment inquiries are invalid without an official vote of the House.
