mccarthy announces impeachment enquiry against President Biden, despite lacking the votes to get it started

[PaxNurgle]

Exactly. Pelosi paved the way for eliminating the need for a vote. The inquiry will provide tools that will help add to the already voluminous body of evidence regarding Joe Biden’s role in the family influence peddling business.

The problem here is, the evidence against Joe Biden is far from voluminous.

You guys complain about the "Weaponization" of the justice department against Trump, but unlike in this case, the evidence against Trump really actually was there- and it was overwhelming. That is the critical difference between a frivolous and pointless impeachment inquiry over nothing (but political grievances), and actually trying to protect the Constitution and enforce the role of law against a rogue president.

More evidence the better, but don’t forget, we’ve seen recent polling that shows the evidence that’s been uncovered to date has already convinced a majority of Americans that Biden was involved in Hunters business dealings. This isn’t going to be adjudicated in an impeachment proceeding or court of law. It’s going to be judged at the ballot box. The job of the House is continuing to inform voters. Comer’s committee is having an impact on public opinion. The inquiry will help uncover more information for voters to assess.

So link us up

Translation: "We have feelings ('evidence') and those feelings have convinced the handful of Americans already on our side about their feelings, too. We hope to, through this wasteful song and dance routine, manufacture more impotent outrage for more feelings to influence the feelings of the other Americans not on our side who don't have our feelings to have feelings before the election."

So you agree this inquiry is bullshit. Good for you.

More evidence the better (because so far there’s none), but don’t forget, it’s all about how good republicans are at lying and gaslighting.

let the shitshow commence!

So they got nothing is what he said. Gotcha. As always.

 

[PaxNurgle]

What they are doing here is basically trying to think of a crime to accuse Biden of, and are grasping at straws to come up with one. Then, find trying to find actual evidence of said crime- even when there isn't any.

Whereas with Trump, it is clear that he committed a crime; not just one but MANY. (or, it is clear to all but the most obtuse and stubborn.) And the evidence is clear as mud, cut and dried.

Hunter Biden did have some rather shady dealings, nobody is disputing that. HUNTER Biden. Not Joe. Sadly, so did the Trump family. (Rightguide and the Chobharpy/IcanJaguar guy never seem to bring that up though.)

And here we have the real endgame. It doesn't matter at all if Joe Biden really is guilty of anything whatsoever, all they need is to create the impression that he must be guilty of something!

“Helps” to cover up for the Cheeto and the boxes and boxes of evidence.

Plus, since they can’t seem to get all of these various jurors to do whatever they want (moving to federal court, recusing themselves) sure goes with the argument of who is trying to use the justice system to their advantage.

“Booing is allowed, but it doesn’t change the truth”

So MAGA fiends, keep screaming about Hunter Biden and have no evidence- meanwhile your “savior” has got some explaining to do. You have already dismissed evidence and accepted conspiracy theory-but clearly courts don’t work that way. Watching the GA co-defendants realize (finally) the ship is going down, they are going for the life rafts.

I wonder why Constitutionalists...especially those here with "law" degrees... stop following the Constitution when it doesn't benefit them?

Keep up the good work...

Well regulated militia? That your play here? Funny how those words are forgotten.

Instead we have trigger happy yahoos with little or no training. Sure sounds like the intent or even the definition of “well regulated” and militia.

So let’s talk about following the constitution.

 

[Dribble]

This is what happens when you give power to traitors. Just accusations without evidence.

A Biden impeachment would have the same end game as the impeachments of Clinton and Trump: Senate acquittal. The House might take that step but it won’t result in removal from office. Voters will render judgment in November of next year.

The investigation has already revealed that Biden family members have received millions in payments from foreign interests, that Biden knew about Hunter’s business activities, that Hunter accompanied his father on AF 2 to China for business purposes, that Biden participated in numerous calls with Hunter business associates, that Biden met in person with Hunter associates, that Biden used the threat of withholding US aid to get Shokin fired, that Biden used pseudonyms for email correspondence that included Hunter (and is now resisting FOI requests to release those emails), that the controversial laptop emails that initially were deemed “Russian disinformation” have been independently authenticated, and that the DOJ tried to bury the IRS investigation and prosecution of the president’s son.

Because of these revelations, the President and WH have backed away from prior claims that Biden never discussed or had had knowledge of Hunter’s business activities, Biden-friendly news outlets such as the NYT now acknowledge that Biden was involved with Hunter’s activities, and that recent polling shows a majority of Americans now understand that Biden was unethically involved with Hunters’s influence peddling.

Y’all just want to muddy the waters

Yes, Hunter was hired because of his name and hopes of an ear. Doesn’t mean Joe did shit

that Biden used the threat of withholding US aid to get Shokin fired,

Still trying to spin that? Smells of desperation

that Biden used pseudonyms for email correspondence that included Hunter (and is now resisting FOI requests to release those emails), that the controversial laptop emails that initially were deemed “Russian disinformation” have been independently authenticated, and that the DOJ tried to bury the IRS investigation and prosecution of the president’s son.

So link us up with a credible source

Because of these revelations, the President and WH have backed away from prior claims that Biden never discussed or had had knowledge of Hunter’s business activities, Biden-friendly news outlets such as the NYT now acknowledge that Biden was involved with Hunter’s activities,

So you say. Again, link up your proof

and that recent polling shows a majority of Americans now understand that Biden was unethically involved with Hunters’s influence peddling.

Yes, we know how polls work

He really struggles with definitions, like evidence.

Except receive money through deposits laundered through 20 different shell companies that don't do any actual business other than receive money from a Biden family owned company before disbursing it to yet another Biden family owned company bank account, which also does nothing but disperse the money to yet another Biden family owned company bank account until it finally ends up at the end of the dispersment line in Joe's bank account.

So, to recap; Hunter is hired on the strength of his family ties. Those hiring him are given proof of life of the family ties via the phone calls made during business meetings where Hunter gets his VP dad on the line. Money is then paid. That money is filtered through all those shell company bank accounts until it eventually ends up in Joe's bank account.

In the end, your narrative that Joe didn't "do" anything might be correct. It's doubtful given the evidence, but it might turn out that way.

What's also correct is that Joe got paid by those demanding he "do" something to help them politically. That's quid pro quo and is illegal. And in order to hide the source of those payments so that his quid pro quo scam wouldn't be discovered Joe engaged in another illegal scheme - money laundering.

Serious allegations. I welcome the Republicans making their evidence public.
