McConnell warns House GOP on Biden impeachment: ‘Not good for the country’
The New York Post ^ | 08/08/2023 | Ryan King

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has gently nudged his Republican counterparts in the House of Representatives to pump the brakes on chatter of impeaching President Biden.

“I said two years ago, when we had not one but two impeachments, that once we go down this path it incentivizes the other side to do the same thing,” McConnell told the New York Times in an interview published Tuesday.

“Impeachment ought to be rare,” he added. “This is not good for the country.”

A growing number of House Republicans have called for Biden’s impeachment, with most of them citing the border crisis and his involvement in influence-peddling by his son Hunter.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) called Monday night for the president to “give us his bank statements” to prove he did not profit from his offspring’s endeavors.

“I think there’s enough proof out there that this Biden family needs to come forward and show there wasn’t a pay-to-play,” McCarthy told Fox News’ Sean Hannity.

The often quiet-spoken and at times enigmatic McConnell has not always been in sync with his House GOP counterparts.

Last year, for instance, he enabled passage of a $1.7 trillion omnibus spending package, much to the chagrin of lower chamber Republicans who wanted to use a potential government shutdown as leverage for fiscal concessions. ***

Oh, GFYS and get on with it! Brandon has been worse for the country than any impeachment could be, worse than Kamala could ever be. He’s a foreign agent. Impeat Foty Six!

I actually said it out loud after reading his “not good for the country” offal”. He was talking about China.

There’s a no vote for conviction.

“There is no question — none — that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of that day. No question about it,” the Senate Republican leader explained in his prepared remarks. “The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president. And their having that belief was a foreseeable consequence of the growing crescendo of false statements, conspiracy theories, and reckless hyperbole which the defeated president kept shouting into the largest megaphone on planet Earth.

Despicable.

I’m in the doubter column, too. Maybe 2 or 3 Rats from purple-red districts will vote to impeach, but 5 or 6 RINOs will vote not to.

Reduce the terms in the “House of Lords” to 3 years and limit the gangsters to 2 consecutive terms. Mandate release of their income tax forms and those of their families DURING and TWO YEARS BEFORE AND AFTER they run for office.

Shut up Mitchy Moo. The two Trump impeachments sure didn’t help the country either, BOZO.

Don’t worry Mitchy Baby. Impeachments will be “rare”. With the RATS stealing elections like they are, I don’t see a Republican ever being elected president again.

If taking bribes from our enemies/adversaries and acting as a foreign agent is not an impeachable offence, what on earth would a president have to do to be impeached, Mitch???

Flat out treason by Joe Biden and his entire family and McConnell does not want to stop it!
BTW McConnell has a friend who was in on the Burmisma racket.

McConnell must be getting millions himself just like he did with the communist Chinese thru his father-in-law who built ships for them. Remember his Taiwan born wife who later bad mouthed Trump after he gave her a position in his administration as a favor for McConnell?

Foreign oligarchs moved millions to Biden-tied firms before meeting Joe Biden, investigators say

House Oversight Committee now has traced more than $20 million in funds from Russians, Chinese, Ukrainians, Kazakhs and Romanians to Biden-tied entities.
