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. ***

Mitch believes keeping a deeply criminal Satanist in the White House is better than impeaching him. What a scumbag.

And what does that have to do with the truth or accuracy of what you stated before? Nothing. You were wrong.

The Rats will never convict Biden. But what an impeachment trial can accomplish is to put the evidence of corruption into the public mind.

He is a rat. He looks like one and acts like one. I know people think he is a turtle.

But he isn’t.

He is a corrupt rat.

Of Course, Mitch wants a friendly, i.e. Biden administration, so his wife is safe from the Chinese Military if she doesn’t deliver.

Never thought I would say this as I never thought about McConnell much, but:

FOR PETE’S SAKE, GET RID OF HIM..DITCH MITCH...PLEASE.

On the other hand...drop the impeachment of pedo joe and:

GO FOR IMPEACHMENTS OF GARLAND AND WRAY.

THAT will not be “not good for the country” IT WILL BE GREAT FOR THE COUNTRY.

Impeachment should be rare, but that doesn’t mean a president like Biden, that has committed impeachable offenses, should get a pass because the demonrats have abused the process. It’s the duty of Congress to impeach Biden.
