Earlier today Senator Rand Paul went on with Maria Bartiromo on FOX Business Network.
Senator Paul does not support impeachment for Joe Biden at this point. He wants to see more evidence. And, being such an upstanding American citizen, Paul does not believe every president should be impeached. He leave that to Democrats.
Later on Thursday morning Senator John Thune joined Stuart Varney and also pushed back against impeachment.
Senator Thune and Senator Paul need to see more evidence before they support impeaching Joe Biden. They are upstanding citizens.
FOX News later reported that Senators John Kennedy (R-LA) and Thom Tillis (R-NC) were also against impeachment. They too are honorable Americans.
“I’ll wait to see what evidence they present,” Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said. “But we’ve got to do the homework. They cheapened the process the last two impeachments, and we don’t want to repeat that mistake.”
Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said there are serious lingering questions about the Biden family, including what the president knew about his son Hunter’s overseas business dealings and if Biden got any money from those deals. However, Kennedy said mere political disagreements should not be grounds for an impeachment."
“No one should be impeached, certainly not a president, unless there is substantial evidence that the president has committed a high crime or misdemeanor,” Kennedy said. “I’m not going to support — and I’m not suggesting this is what Kevin has suggested — but I’m not gonna support impeaching somebody just because I don’t like their politics.”
We now have evidence of Joe Biden’s criminal and impeachable offenses. We have emails, FBI 1023s, numerous bank statements, IRS whistleblowers, audio recordsings, photos, and a laptop computer filled with hundreds of criminal acts.

“lingering questions” “waiting to see the evidence”
Impeachment is the indictment; then the House managers present the evidence, and the Senate determines guilt. So, it’s rather unusual for these four senators to say they are “against” impeachment when the evidence has not been formally presented.
Checks cleared.
Rando Paul appears to like what he sees.
Paul?
Wow. Setting fire to his office last week must have delivered a message.
There are those who prefer a wounded Joe Biden in 2024 to a impeached Joe Biden and an energized Democratic Party for Harris or Newsom. I can see their reasoning but prefer they do their sworn duty instead.
Yep!
earlier I seen a meme displaying the banner of a hammer and sickle with the words democrat party. next to that were the words republican party beneath a white flag. how fitting?
Today’s Democrats engage in bare-knuckles boxing. No rules and no quarter. They strike at their opponents until they are bleeding and unconscious on the mat. Then they throw in a few kicks for good measure.
With only few exceptions, today’s Republicans just write letters. They express their displeasure using soft and indirect words.
It’s not hard to predict which side will ultimately prevail here.
That's the point of an investigation, to find the proof when there is suspicious activity.
That's like telling a fireman who sees smoke not to pull the alarm because there is no "proof" of a fire.
They will never find that for which they choose not to look.

Exactly. It’s up to the House to impeach. If they believe there’s insufficient evidence to convict then they’ll have their chance to vote.
Timing is the issue. The first impeachment was 2018. More than two years before the presidential election. The second was after the election. Last thing we want is to make Biden a martyr. Clinton’s approval numbers went up after his impeachment.
I understand the reasoning too, but I disagree with the assumption that impeachment would energize the Democratic Party. With the level of evidence that’s accumulating, it would more likely hurt the party than help it.
Vote out these pussies.
Not Biden. The dnc. They are not ready to toss Biden under the bus yet.
You’re right! I didn’t think of that.
just to be clear, McCarthy says next step is impeachment inquiry is next step, not impeachment.
