House Votes to Formalize Impeachment Inquiry into Joe Biden

Biden Brain SuckerThe House of Representatives on Wednesday voted to formalize an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden by a vote of 221 to 212.

The formally adopted status will enable House investigators to enforce subpoenas and gather evidence about whether the president is compromised and “traded official acts for foreign dollars,” according to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).

Republicans unanimously voted to adopt the resolution. In a surprise, Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), who had been critical of the Republicans’ impeachment focus and earlier indicated he would oppose the resolution, voted with his Republican colleagues to formalize the inquiry.

Obviously, all Democrats voted against this.

The White House failed to provide investigators:

  • Information about two loan agreements Joe Biden allegedly executed with James Biden for a total of $240,000.
  • 99.98 percent of requested records from President Joe Biden, including alias emails.
  • Documents about an alleged $5 million bribe Joe Biden accepted.
  • Materials related to Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified documents.

The formal process means that these documents must be provided and they can hit agencies with suboeanas and hold people in contempt of Congress if they fail to provide them. It should end the stonewalling.

Any articles of impeachment should include Biden’s policies on the border and Afghanistan debacle, those might be easier to show rather than the deep dives into Biden’s shady dealings. The GOP really needs to make this easy to understand for the 30 second soundbite folks, so much so that even friendly media outlets cannot blow it off.

(Daily Caller) “We have seen witness testimony and bank records showing millions of dollars flowing to the Biden family from foreign adversaries. Witnesses have testified about the President’s numerous interactions with his family’s foreign clients. The President and White House have repeatedly misled the public, shifted the goalposts, and stonewalled our investigation. As Chairmen Comer, Jordan and Smith have done all along, we will continue to follow the facts where they lead. The American people deserve answers. This impeachment inquiry will help us find them,” the statement concluded.

(Fox News) “The White House sent a letter… saying that the subpoenas [Republicans] had served will not be honored and won’t even be recognized without a full vote of the House. So our speaker has done exactly what I would expect he would do as a lawyer. We’re going to honor that. We’re going to go ahead and do a full floor vote,” Emmer said. “He knows we’re probably going to have to go to court to enforce these anyway, so might as well eliminate any of the objections that they have.”

It’ll be a pretty bad look when the White House continues to stonewall. And, if Biden had not said that the subpoenas weren’t legitimate without a formal vote there might have been enough squishes who would have voted against the process. Obviously, if this goes all the way there are not enough votes in the Senate to boot Joe, unless the Dems see a way out of Biden being their candidate in 2024.

    HAHA. You fail to understand the concept of “above the law”. In the words of former FBI director Comey, “no prosecutor would bring charges. No judge would hear the case. No jury (in DC) would convict”. Democratic party AGs have no interest in prosecuting their own people.

      The media scenario is already taking shape.

      Hunter, like Hillary before him despite all evidence to the contrary really is the “victim” here.

      Brandon’s only crime is just being a caring dad.

      Dimocrat logic.

    They simply voted for the inquiry, not for an actual impeachment itself. Actually, were I a member of the House, I would vote against an impeachment, because it’s worse than useless: not only would President Biden not be removed by the Senate; but the last impeachment of a Democrat led to a strengthening of his public support, and, if by some miracle the impeachment did remove Mr Biden from office, Kamala Emhoff would become President.

    This whole thing is a waste of time and effort.

    “I say up front, openly, and proudly, that when I WIN the Presidency of the United States, they and others of the LameStream Media will be thoroughly scrutinized for their knowingly dishonest and corrupt coverage of people, things, and events. Why should NBC, or any other of the corrupt & dishonest media companies, be entitled to use the very valuable Airwaves of the USA, FREE? They are a true threat to Democracy and are, in fact, THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE! The Fake News Media should pay a big price for what they have done to our once great Country!”

    “They are almost all dishonest and corrupt, but Comcast, with its one-side and vicious coverage by NBC NEWS, and in particular MSNBC, often and correctly referred to as MSDNC (Democrat National Committee!), should be investigated for its ‘Country Threatening Treason'”.

    “A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution. Our great ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!”

    “I will appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America, Joe Biden, the entire Biden crime family, and all others involved with the destruction of our elections, borders and our country itself.”

    “If I happen to be president and I see somebody who’s doing well and beating me very badly, I say, ‘Go down and indict them.'”

    “In 2016, I declared I am your voice. Today, I add, I am your warrior. I am your justice. And for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution.”

    “We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”

    “We have hundreds of thousands of people here and I just want them to be recognized by the fake news media. Turn your cameras please and show what’s really happening out here because these people are not going to take it any longer. They’re not going to take it any longer.”

    “All of us here today do not want to see our election victory stolen by emboldened radical-left Democrats, which is what they’re doing. And stolen by the fake news media. We will never give up, we will never concede. You don’t concede when there’s theft involved.”

    “Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore and that’s what this is all about. And to use a favorite term that all of you people really came up with: We will stop the steal.”

    “We will not let them silence your voices. We’re not going to let it happen, I’m not going to let it happen.”

    “Because if Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election. All he has to do, all this is, this is from the number one, or certainly one of the top, Constitutional lawyers in our country. He has the absolute right to do it. We’re supposed to protect our country, support our country, support our Constitution, and protect our constitution.”

    All Vice President Pence has to do is send it back to the states to recertify and we become president and you are the happiest people.

    “‘Mike, that doesn’t take courage. What takes courage is to do nothing. That takes courage.’ And then we’re stuck with a president who lost the election by a lot and we have to live with that for four more years. We’re just not going to let that happen.

    “Make no mistake, this election was stolen from you, from me and from the country.”

    “And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”

    Donald J. Trump is an authoritarian and traitor.
