McCarthy directs House to open formal impeachment inquiry into Biden’s involvement in Hunters Deals

[+OverSword]

Quote

 

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Tuesday that Republicans plan to launch an impeachment inquiry into President Biden’s alleged involvement while vice president in his son Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings.

“House Republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden’s conduct. Taken together, these allegations paint a picture of a culture of corruption,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said at the Capitol.

McCarthy said there were “allegations of abuse of power, obstruction and corruption.”

I wonder if it will become the new normal to have active investigations and lawsuits on every presidential candidate from now on?  I'm not saying they that all of this shouldn't be happening to both sides but this is getting crazier and crazier IMO.

There's no evidence.

A far-right House Freedom Caucus member said on Sunday that any evidence linking President Joe Biden to any high crime or misdemeanor "doesn't exist right now" as some Republicans push to impeach him.

Thus the formal investigation.  There is definitely more than enough cause to use all the powers at the disposal of the congress to take a hard look and subpoena records and witnesses to determine his innocence.

They've been doing that for 2 years and still only have evidence to the contrary....

They have testimony that is not to the contrary.  They have records of Hunter flying on AF2 to attend business meetings.  Seems sus.  They have Joe on speaker phone with Hunters business partners while hunter is meeting with them.  Less than ethical.   There is more than that too.  You are in serious denial if you think there is nothing to see here.  And if there is nothing then why would anyone be concerned about it?  If there is a nothing burger at the end wouldn't we want to know that too?

Far more evidence against Joe than anything Democrats claimed against Trump...

Senate GOP says House lacks evidence for impeachment

Republican senators are highly skeptical that Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) could even muster enough votes in the House to pass an article of impeachment and warn it would be quickly dismissed if it ever got to the Senate, possibly without going to a full trial.

Unfortunately, it is the politics of personal destruction these days.  There can't just be simple policy disagreements.  You have to beat and destroy the opponents to remain in power.  I don't see it ending well for our country.

Yeah, as it stands prior to an impeachment inquiry.  Wait six months.

We've had whistleblowers from inside IRS and FBI saying they were pressured not to pursue cases against Hunter.  Those who are saying there is no evidence are the same who pursued the last guy like jackals on a blood trail.  Opening the formal inquiry gives the House more authority to demand records.  So far, Biden's administration has stiff-armed their every attempt to gain the info so it will be interesting to see if he can also do the same even with this new level of authority.  My guess is that he'll have documents go missing or he'll claim executive privilege.  Trump's probably waiting on the next round of indictments.  Every time Biden gets in the news cycle for legal issues, the DOJ drops another one.  It has become so predictable that it's amusing.

Not surprising and so be it.  Those Senators will have to stand for re-election as well.  What they cannot stop will be the light shining on any new information against Joe.  At this point, we know the drill and we know the level of corruption in DC.  DC is going to protect Joe and Hunter and do its best to crucify the Orange guy.  Thing is, they've been so blatant in their corruption and double standards that most people who are awake and who care, will no longer give any credence to their lazy lies.  I've said all along that even if the House impeaches, Chucky S could simply refuse to allow the trial.  He cannot stop the evidence they gain from being disseminated though.

House GOP have been investigating for two years. No evidence. The POS POTUS appointed a prosecutor five years ago. No evidence. In six months, there will still be no evidence.

It may surprise you that multiple independent news sources on the internet have been reporting on many examples of whistleblowers and emails, phone records, etc. that implicate Joe.  For example, we know he lied about not being involved at all in Hunter's businesses.  As for finding a smoking gun sufficient to get his backers to admit his guilt, I agree that this will never happen.  The thing about information wars is that they don't require an honest media to report them.  They have their own life on the internet and cannot be stopped, though Joe's handlers certainly have tried to do so.  Meanwhile, don't you guys have more indictments to drop?

That is the issue.  Much like we saw with Hunter's laptop, the mainstream news blackout makes it difficult to educate the typical NPC as to what is actually going on and the relevant facts.  Once Joy Behar mentions it on the View, we will know they can no longer spin their way out of it.  lol.

Perhaps he's beginning to understand that continuing to cover for Tater, is a loser's game.  Considering the scope of evidence used for the last guy's impeachments, there has been enough evidence to begin this inquiry for months.  IF they get around to filing the Articles and make it official, Chuck will almost certainly try to keep the damning stuff out of public view by refusing to have a trial.  Fortunately, the internet has a way of getting those salvoes delivered even with the corrupt obstruction done by legacy media in the way.

Impeach Darth Tater! Should be fun to see the show.

[Gromdor]

Wait a second.....   Isn't that what the committee headed by Comer has been doing for the past year with no chargeable results?  

Is this some trick to make the faithful think that they are going to do something as opposed to failing them for the past year?

"Lets just pretend the last year didn't happen and tell everyone that we are starting to investigate now!"

[Tatetopa]

Election Interference! The investigation is not designed to move toward indictment and court, its just for media hits.   Twitter Likes are almost as good as lobbyist dollars.

Find somebody capable and do a REAL investigation.

So, how many hail Mary plays so far that have fallen flat? I'm just going to file this under "any day now".

If the Repubs spent half their time on actually working to run the country instead of yelling "squirrel" every few days to keep the voters from seeing the abject failure they've become, they wouldn't be in this predicament.

Now you're being disingenuous. Did you start this thread just to rile folks up? Congrats you've succeeded once again. 

   I find it hard to believe that someone as intelligent as you would fall for the Republican false claims. So I'm going to assume you're just getting your jollies pitting one side against the other. Acid head lite like jollies.

Well thanks.   Its evidence when you take it to court and face cross examination and swear under oath.  Dan Bongino or anybody else can say what they want on media.  its different in court, perjury is real and not taken lightly.

Public opinion and popularity contests are cool and all, but give us some evidence that will stand up in court and prosecute Joe Biden.  Chris Christie was a former Federal Prosecutor and he does not love Biden.  He could do it, and do a good job of it too. 

You folks think we would protect Biden?  My God do us a favor and take him out then. If we are serious about ending corruption, it has to be the same for both sides.  Put Joe under investigation jus t like Trump has been.
