Johnson previously claimed in July documented evidence "proves" Biden family is "hopelessly corrupt."
"We found checks to Joe Biden and evidence of a massive money laundering scheme and now the new guy you are told is way better doesn’t want to impeach. Such progress," says Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) reportedly claimed Friday that “there is insufficient evidence” to launch impeachment proceedings against Joe Biden.
Johnson reportedly cited the lack of sufficient evidence “at present to begin formal impeachment proceedings” during a closed-door meeting with House GOP moderates, according to the Washington Post.
Johnson’s newfound sentiment was reiterated by Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), who claimed, “We’ll just go where the evidence goes and we’re not there yet.”
“Most of us are saying, look, we can’t even get a single Democratic vote on this right now. I think the voters will reject what they are seeing when it comes to Biden [policies] — but high crimes and misdemeanors? I don’t think we’ve seen that or enough data to really make a good case and I feel like [Johnson] really agreed with us on that,” Bacon added.
This represents a major about-face from Johnson’s posture in July, when he claimed that evidence “proves” the Biden family is “hopelessly corrupt.”
“The evidence now shows — it proves — that the First Family is hopelessly corrupt. They’ve been involved in extortion, bribery schemes and tax fraud and incredible abuses of power,” Johnson said.
“We have now $17 million and counting of these amounts of money that have been uncovered that were put into these ghost companies that the Biden family put together, many of which when Joe Biden was vice president to hide the sources of this funding. And it involves China and Ukraine, adversaries around the world. It’s a very serious and alarming problem.”
Political commentator Tim Poole speculated that Johnson’s 180-degree pivot was part of a larger political calculus aimed at defeating Biden in the 2024 election.
“Maybe it’s just a 4D chess move. They know Biden is the weakest candidate here…I think they know what they’re doing here,” Poole said Friday.
Others like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) blamed Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) for spearheading the removal of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) as speaker, who she claimed was committed to impeaching Biden.
“Not long ago we had a Speaker that believed in impeachment so much that he launched an inquiry without a floor vote, but you were told he was bad,” Greene wrote Saturday on X.
“After 8 R’s and all D’s ousted him, we found checks to Joe Biden and evidence of a massive money laundering scheme and now the new guy you are told is way better doesn’t want to impeach. Such progress,” she added.
The latest evidence of Biden’s corruption was revealed earlier this month by House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), who laid out how Joe Biden received a $40,000 check in “laundered China money” through his family.
Comer last week also issued subpoenas for Hunter, James and former Hunter associate Rob Walker, signaling the Oversight Committee is ready for Biden crime family members to give taped interviews regarding payments that passed through various channels in possible efforts to obfuscate the fact they came from foreign sources.
Goodbye America. It’s over and I’m over it.
Well, did he say it or not?
And first and foremost, Impeachment is a POLITICAL process. The issue of getting a conviction is just not relevant, IMO.
In the Senate, neither President Clinton or President Trump's trials EVER had the votes for Conviction - and that was pretty well known prior.
Let’s see where they lead to.....that is something I agree with.
There’s no way that DC will let Biden be impeached. Pres Trump alluded to all of it in the debates. Letting Biden get impeached shows that they put up the most corrupt guy they could find just to get rid of Pres Trump and keep the money flowing. I don’t see that happening or them admitting to it.
I’m of the opinion that there are many more involved, whose names we do not yet know and those people are going to be protected. However it is interesting that the Romney name has been mentioned in the past.
He’ll withdraw for health reasons and they’ll say there’s no more need as there are more pressing matters. Regardless of what they did to Pres Trump. Impeachment inquiry/proceedings come to an end.
If they decide to go after his son and there’s potential that it might be a legitimate case, he’ll pardon his son and then walk away in shame. Impeachment inquiry/proceedings come to an end.
You seem to have far more confidence in those people in DC than I. I don’t think I could name 3 or 4 that I think are worth a damn. And that is sad. We get played all day, every day.
Whatever happened to the people in East Palestine, Ohio?
Whatever happened to the people of Lahaina and all those missing kids?
Whatever happened to the billions, around $9,000,000,000 I think, that was stolen from Haiti and all the missing Haitian kids?
What is happening on our border and the terrorists that are being allowed in?
We have a terror training camp operating near our southern border and no one cares.....except the FBI, which wants to find out how the reporters knows about it.... https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2023/11/12/the-unnerving-reason-fbi-showed-up-to-this-journalists-home-n2631096
from the article:
The FBI has reportedly knocked down the door of a journalist who, in the past, exposed illegal activities along the southern border, including sex trafficking.
This week, Sarah Fields, a journalist with The Publica Now, revealed on social media that FBI agents came to her home on October 17 unannounced. She claimed the agency demanded that she talk with them about her coverage of an alleged Hamas training camp on the US-Mexico border.
In her posts, Fields claims that the FBI was trying to get her to reveal her sources.
Or some of them could talk about what this FBI Agent speaks about what is going on in Houston...

So, Comer and his crew continue to string us along....while we have Hamas training in Mexico and coming over the border and the FBI knowing that kids are being trafficked and raped in bars in Houston.....got it.
That way the people will know that it's not politically motivated. It was based on irrefutable evidence. So impeached, real possibility. Conviction less likely, but even that plays to our favor because it shows the corruption within the Democrat Party if they refuse to convict Biden.
I believe that Trump will win regardless of wh the Democrats put up.
Actually, I believe it isHezbollah that has a large presence down in Mexico.
It was reported on in 2020, but I never saw that. Primarily because of the source. You will see it as the link above is to a DuckDuckGo search results page.
At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter as both groups are one in the same, as far as I’m concerned. They both have the same masters.

You might think so (that there’d be not be enough GOP votes) but this is coming up to an election year and voter memory can’t be counted on to just simply disappear. Regardless, the process for the impeachment (the indictment) and Senate trial (the trial) is as I indicated, this new Speaker has shown he’s just more of the same.
“ Sounds like the mafia.”
The mafia had internal wars between families.
No…this sounds like the Nazis.
I’m with Tim Poole on this one. I think Trump sent the word down to hold off on impeachment.
Impeachment ain’t happening folks.. should it? Probably, but it ain’t
So I agree with you and you offer a sparky comment?w3
I guess it is rare these days.
Well it’s another day...Has the new speaker released all the J6 video yet?
I find it hard to believe this is some sort of brilliant strategy. However, Biden is the weakest candidate so in the end he's preferable to anyone else. A corrupt old senile man that can only win if there is massive election fraud.
And that was sufficient for 100% of the Dem caucus as well as RINOs like Romney. It makes one scratch your head.
Bottom line is they cannot afford to allow an election to occur.
That's why they are starting so many wars.
What will the false-flag be that enables them to declare martial law?
I shudder to think what it is going to be.
If you take a look you might agree with me. This is a loop BTW, it is not the full thing. But he basically is saying at the beginning that the Biden Administration & family are corrupt, and that government agencies are covering for the Biden corruption.
