McCarthy to endorse Biden impeachment inquiry, setting up possible vote

Article | Archive

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) will endorse an impeachment inquiry into President Biden this week, a source familiar confirmed to The Hill, setting the scene for a formal vote in the chamber — even though it remains unclear that there is enough support to launch a formal investigation.

McCarthy intends to tell Republican lawmakers that House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) and House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) have found enough information to back up the need for a formal impeachment inquiry, the source said.

He will also argue that the launching for a formal inquiry will aid in their effort to try and get a hold of bank records and documents related to the Biden family.

McCarthy plans to call an impeachment inquiry the “logical next step” in the GOP-led investigations, the source said.

The House GOP conference is set to meet behind closed doors twice this week: on Wednesday and on Thursday. During Thursday’s meeting, Comer and Jordan are scheduled to speak about their investigations.

Punchbowl News first reported on McCarthy’s plans.

Republicans in the House have been divided over the issue of impeachment, and the issue of launching an inquiry.

There appears to be more support for launching an inquiry, but it could still be a difficult vote for House Republicans representing districts won by Biden. Democrats are sure to make it part of their attacks in next year’s campaigns.

if you're a political puppeteer pulling the strings in the background, a senile president led around by handlers 24/7 is the best thing that could ever happen to you.

Very true. I guess what happens when the senility becomes too obvious. Didn’t they cut his speech in Hanoi off becasue he was rambling?
I also think he has cancer of some kind. There’s just that look about his face you get with elderly patients who have something rumbling on in the background. Like a wasting of the facial fat.

 

[I'm Retarded?]

No, but if he’s outlived his usefulness to the machine they may want a legal way of getting rid of him.
I thought they’d go the health angle, I’m still halfway sure he’s going to die in office so that Kamala woman can take over.

guys like Biden just get quietly retired without a public row. he's not a belligerent. after the machine is done with him, they'll peacefully put him out to pasture, it's part of the deal. as for Kamala, she's a non-starter, I fully expect her to be thrown in the garbage the literal second it becomes convenient to do so

How is it that the Democrats can get two impeachments for nothing in pretty quick succession, complete with Trump Impeachment pens to commemorate the event (even as their Chinese benefactors are sending all those tourists from Wuhan), but when we have third world levels of corruption in the White House the Republicans take years to set up the committee to discuss the possibility of maybe thinking about impeaching Biden?

Short answer is that McCarthy openly admitted that he's TERRIFIED of losing his speakership via tthe GOP losing the House in 2024 due to his paranoia that impeaching Biden will just make him more popular as is the historical trend when it comes to impeachment always backfiring on the party which brings it against a sitting President.

Long answer is that because McCarthy AND McConnell BOTH know that tbecause hey don't have enough votes in the Senate to convict, that Biden and his dick suckers in the media, will claim Biden was "cleared of any and all wrongdoing" and blood libel the GOP for filing "baseless charges" and claim Biden was "proven innocent" when the Senate vote to find him "not guilty" as far as a major propoganda victory for the Democrats/Biden in terms of "rules for me, not for thee" where the media will always claim a Democrat who is impeached was "cleared and proven innocent of all charges by a jury of his peers" but continue to claim Trump was guilty as sin and only avoided conviction due to GOP doing jury nullification tricks.

If the regime wants Biden gone why not pillowcase him? He's so comically old and frail him slipping away in his sleep wouldn't even raise an eyebrow.

Do you really think that Biden is clean?

Let the Democrat senators go on record.

You’re completely dismissing the part where mainstream outlets now concede that the Hunter laptop is legit, and there’s now a record from Durham’s investigation that even if he couldn’t get convictions, the collusion hoax was bullshit. There’s an official record showing exactly how it was made up, laundered, leaked to the press, etc etc.

That may not seem important to you, but now the retards on Twitter have to shift the narrative, and SOME amount of people notice when it happens.

Let the mainstream media say what they want, and hurt their own credibility even worse than it is.

We’ve come a long way since 2016, I feel kinda bad for you if you’re in such a permanently pissed off place that you haven’t noticed it. But YouTube shows like Breaking Points get more views than straight network shitpieces and you now have Krystal Ball on record reacting to hearing that Hunter had his dad saved in his contact info as “pedo Pete”.

Because then they have the Harris problem. They might be able to drag sleepy Joe over the line again against le orange man, but nobody is coming out and voting for that bitch and it'd be difficult to see how she wouldn't be the nominee if she's the President at the time.

 

[George Floyd Sneed]

Chuck Schumer will make sure it doesn’t go anywhere. This whole thing is a waste of time. I think it’s just going to be standard operating procedure for the opposing party to impeach the president with it being halted in the senate. Just add it to the various faux crises like spending bills and debt ceilings. I can’t be assed to give a shit about this.

The MAGA retards want this because Trump was impeached twice and then they can say "BIDEN WAS IMPEACHED, TOO!", even though they've been unable to come up with evidence against Biden besides from a laptop that seems to somehow keep turning up new information even long after it was no longer in Hunter's custody

Hulk doesn't realize that people generally have a problem with corruption didn't vote for Trump in 2016 or 2020 I still think people like Joe Biden should be in federal prison along with Hillary Clinton .
I wish I could get a job at an oil company being paid $500,000 a year with not knowing anything about oil or gas and then get the prosecutor filed because my dad is the vice president.

Also wish I could have weird ties to the Chinese government which compromise National Security and then not go to prison because my father is the president and I would make me look bad.

I wish I could destroy evidence in a federal investigation and face zero consequences for my actions but I'm not Hillary Clinton

I also wish I could use the IRS to go after my political opponents like Barack Hussein Obama.

I wish I could commit war crimes like it was going out of style like George W bush and face no legal repercussions because my family is one of the most well entrenched political dynasties.

I also wish I could bury the evidence that made me look bad with the help of the CIA FBI and get third parties kicked off the ballot through legal trickery and then say we have a free and fair election system in this country like the Biden team.

I also wish I could kill my own citizens with no trial jail journalists like Julian Assange lose $5 trillion dollars in taxpayer money and all the files we were supposed to release that year because a plane slammed into Military Intelligence headquarters at the Pentagon but we don't have backups of all of those important files for some reason


I also wish I could fund a bunch of Islamic fundamentalists that go around blowing up priceless historical artifacts from some of the oldest civilizations in the world and then get angry and call it disinformation when people point out that we did these things because it makes us look bad they continue funding said Rebels after they Rebrand and undermine the sovereignty of other countries because something something democracy.


I also wish I could let a terrorist attack blow up to high rises in New York city so I can pass Draconian totalitarian control bill called the Patriot Act and if you question it you are with the terrorists and you are a terrorist

And on top of this declare all of our countries the leaders of the Free World and anyone who opposes Us big bad meanie poopy heads

And declare all of our enemies enemies of democracy and Humanity whatever that means.
Because nothing says democracy like ignoring the needs of your citizens and sucking off all corporate interests why importing millions of scab labor to undermine your citizens wages.
And if anybody complains about any of this the racists conspiracy theorists and spreading disinformation and extremely dangerous to our democracy that's why we have to execute them without trial

 

[6MillionCoofs]

and you now have Krystal Ball on record reacting to hearing that Hunter had his dad saved in his contact info as “pedo Pete”.

Is there a link to that? I wanna see.

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

I'm with you. I believe this is what is happening and it was talked about a while back. Biden is brought in to do the dirty work for the uniparty, once he's unpopular enough he is impeached, or killed, ready for Kamala to step in.

Once Kamala is in power she can pick any VP without votes required. So Hillary or Big Mike could slide right on in, ready for a 2024 nomination. Hillary did say she would run again...

Hunter's laptop has been in the custody of your boomer political party for 3 years now, and somehow it keeps producing new evidence even after 3 years. I understand you elderly bible thumpers are really gullible, but you can't be this gullible.

@Sargon's wife's son uh huh. I somehow doubt you were this outraged about Trump's corruption or Jared Kushner's Saudi oil money he got from having White House ties. Convenient how you didn't mention that, but I understand that's because you can't talk bad about your elderly obese waifu

Because his wife and son will burn the nation to the ground if they do so, since both don't want to give up the insane power/protection they have now so long as Joe is President.

It's been established that Jill Biden basically wants to be the power controlling her feeble, corrupt husband and formed her own faction within the DNC the moment her husband got sworn in. A faction that will be willing to pull a Woodrow Wilson and let Jill basically be shadow president even as Biden's health deteriorates to the point that he is physically unable to be President. Bitch ain't giving up that power EVER since she'll never get another chance to have such power again in her lifetime.

Meanwhile Hunter Biden's fucked the second his father dies, since the only reason he's not been arrested for treason is due to the fact that he's got his daddy protecting him.

Both will go Samson in the temple the second their meal ticket is smothered via a pillow in his sleep and will make damn sure Biden gets a full eight years in office since once Biden's out of office, their lives are fucking OVER. Jill goes back to being a nobody and Hunter, if he doesn't get a pardon, is looking at life in jail.

While I agree with you, the GOP leadership still are snakebitten via Clinton by the fact that impeachment is a dead end move. There is true fear that the media will double down on white knighting Biden and that Biden will pull a Clinton and fucking LIE his way to an acquittal and use that acquittal to claim innocence on all charges. The Democrats have already started floating the whole talking point of "go ahead and impeach Biden more than two times so that he gets the record of most impeached President; that will mean he was ACQUITTED three times"!.

Hell, the GOP had a literal smoking gun in the Clinton impeachment case AND a somewhat sympathetic media, and they still lost due to Clinton and his loyalists in the media spinning lies about Monica being a mentally ill stalker working as an agent of the trademark "vast right wing conspiracy" the Clintons collectively invoked to dismiss their critics who caught them doing evil.

And it should be noted that Nixon only resigned because conservatives didn't have a strong presence in the media in the 1970s to hold the Congressional Republicans feet to the fire to make them refuse to back down against the butt-hurt Democrats. Biden's got the full support of most of the media, who will never turn on Biden purely because they've gone beyond the point of no return in terms of having to support Biden or else self-destruct (as seen when the rank and file of CNN basically threatened open revolt because Discovery put into place a guy who's only crime was wanting to move CNN back to the center and stop the Trump bashing).

oh jeez, sorry cnn, i didn't know you were omniscient.

you're a fucking retard if you believe anyone involved in top-level international politics is clean.

 

[Justa Grata Honoria]

After reading the bickering about Bidens impeachment i have come to the conclusion that everything needs to be burned down to the ground and start anew . I don't see how this dysfunctional system with this much dysfunctional elite can be fixed or somehow battled against. Just burn the Washington DC with everyone there involved, salt the the earth and build capital somewhere else and start again.

 

[Goofy Logic]

Biden has one more year left in office. Impeaching him now will just mean he could be kicked out of office in time for an election.

In other words, it will be all ado for nothing.

 

[Skeletonized Cow]

Guys, why are you even giving HHH the time of day. He's just Patrick Tomlinson sans the childing and the (limited) achievement of being a published author; you can't reason with him and nobody actually believes what he says.

 

[Polyboros2]

It's not about actually getting Biden Kicked out. Trump never was going to get actually removed from office(unless he took the bait and pardoned J6 stooges) either. It's harassment against an official and energizing the base without actually giving them anything.

Democrats have an arrogance problem with opening Pandora's Box on political taboos, expecting it to never come back on them. Impeachment wasn't suppose to be a political weapon, but they broke that. Now, unless overwhelmingly popular(which we haven't had a president that qualifies in 22 years) if your party doesn't control the House, you can expect to be impeached.

They've also done it with using State level lawfare to harass an incumbent campaign (the DoJ will never be cleaned up enough to be used against an establishment candidate), but that'll have to wait for their next incumbent to bite themselves in the ass.

Since you're a December 2022 join date newfag with terminal autism (given the anime profile picture), I recommend you go back to /pol/ where you can have the bible thumping boomer hugbox you want so badly. If you weren't terminally online, you'd realize MAGA isn't very popular across the nation.

The truth is that your theocratic political party is only doing this because they're seething mad that Trump was impeached, so they're doing the same to Biden to try and lessen your obese, elderly waifu's crimes in the eyes of the public
