House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announces formal impeachment inquiry against President Biden
Fox News ^ | 9/12/2023 | Chris Pandolfo

Posted on 09/12/2023 8:34:53 AM PDT by fruser1

"Through our investigations, we have found that President Biden did lie to the American people about his own knowledge of his family's foreign business dealings. Eyewitnesses have testified that the president joined on multiple phone calls and had multiple interactions, dinners resulted in cars and millions of dollars into his sons and his son's business partners," McCarthy said.

Earlier, Fox News Digital confirmed that McCarthy will tell House Republicans today that beginning an impeachment inquiry against Biden is the "logical next step" for their investigations. An inquiry is the first step of the impeachment process, where evidence is gathered for the articles, or charges, of impeachment against an official.

In a statement responding to reports about the impending inquiry, White House spokesman for oversight and investigations Ian Sams blasted the effort as politically motivated. He accused McCarthy of advancing an impeachment probe to placate hardliners in the GOP conference.

"McCarthy is being told by [Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.] to do impeachment, or else she’ll shut down the government," Sams said. "Opening impeachment despite zero evidence of wrongdoing by POTUS is simply red meat for the extreme right wing, so they can keep baselessly attacking him."

You’re right, of course. There’s a massive new batch of IRS agents that is desperate for continued funding, y’know!

I’m trying to give people the benefit of the doubt who aren’t unreasonable, but because they’ve been conditioned to avoid seeing any news reporting from Fox, Newsmax, etc., they’ve simply not been exposed to complete and/or accurate information. My hope is that an impeachment inquiry, and even eventually an actual impeachment, while doomed to failure in the Senate, will still draw their attention to the proceedings, thereby exposing them to the truth in a way that can’t easily be colored by MSM apologists.

"Impeachment INQUIRY", sounds like the ol' "Repeal and Replace" bait-n-switch. Trump had no such soft treatment even when the charges were based on falsehoods."

What is wrong with you?

Impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump

"The inquiry process which preceded the first impeachment of Donald Trump, 45th president of the United States, was initiated by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on September 24, 2019, after a whistleblower alleged that Donald Trump may have abused the power of the presidency."

"In fact, consider that, since one of the very few powers that the states have expressly constitutionally given to the big, bad federal government to dictate peacetime domestic policy is to run the US Mail Service (most federal domestic policy actually based on stolen state powers imo), the worst problem that the country would otherwise be looking at with a new Congress of Trump-supporting freshman lawmakers is arguably a delay with mail delivery."

That's a nice graf.

Unlike the Democrat impeachomatic under Trump, this is the measured action. It gives the House authority to demand more information. Comer and Jordan are running point in their committees.

Some people have lost their grip on reality because of the damage inflicted by the Left and some misinformation on the right.

“The Department of Just Us will be so impressed with the evidence it will indict dozens of Democrats and fellow leftists....

any day now.....

The reality is that DOJ is in the business of manufacturing evidence against Trump supporters. They are in the political prisoner business, not the justice business.”

Think bigger, oh turd-in-the-punchbowl.

The revelations will bring about great changes.

How about we come back to this thread in 6 or 8 months, see which one of is has changed his tune?

I believe that the inquiry is with the blessing of the dems....this will enable them to rid themselves of a brain-dead candidate and be able to blame the Republicans.

Brandon’s criminal conduct should have been investigated when he was vice president.

does this have anything to do with Gaetz’s statement yesterday that the speaker had to go

Yes, and Matt Gaetz's speech on the floor. McCarthy is stalling and running for cover.
