"Look the one thing we learned that the Democrats did, is they used impeachment for political reason. We believe in the rule of law. We're not going to pick and choose just because somebody has power," McCarthy said, adding that "at any time if someone breaks the law" impeachment may be considered "but we're not going to use it for political purposes."

That actually makes sense. If Biden is impeached it will be because of actual crimes that can't be overlooked, not because Republicans want to score political points -- and impeachments for frivolous reasons don't actually score points with the voters. The more likely development, though, is that revelations, controversy, fear of impeachment, poor health, and supporters' and puppetmasters' advice get Biden to step down.

The short term advantage at least in going the impeachment route is that it could also bring Harris down. Besides there is no possible way to overlook the magnitude of these crimes, even disregarding the laptop emails.

Well said. I don't like McCarthy as leader and I'd like to see a change. Jordan, I suppose, or someone else who actually fights, but in this case McCarthy has a point and he seems to be choosing his words carefully. A political impeachment that will go nowhere isn't worth.

That doesn't mean I support McCarthy as a future Speaker, because I don't.
