In a short news conference on Tuesday, McCarthy said, “These are allegations of power abuse, obstruction, and corruption.”
You can never get rid of impeachment from politics completely. This is what the country’s leaders wanted.
But when Kevin McCarthy tells House committees to look into whether President Biden should be impeached, the speaker is trying to keep his job and keep the government from shutting down.
Let’s be honest: Even if McCarthy could convince the whole House to vote for impeachment, which is unlikely, Biden would still be cleared by the Senate, which is ruled by Democrats. When Republicans ran the Senate, the same thing happened both times Trump was impeached.
The move against Biden, which could be seen as payback for Nancy Pelosi’s House impeaching Trump, could lead to a pushback against the Republicans. It did happen when they tried to remove Bill Clinton, but the Democratic Senate did not find him guilty. And the fact that Trump was impeached made MAGA fans even more sure that a crooked elite was out to get him.
One important fact: McCarthy told Breitbart on September 1 that if there was an impeachment investigation, “it would happen by a vote on the floor of the People’s House and not by a declaration by one person.” He had also criticized Pelosi for starting an impeachment without a vote in the House, which is not the first time this has happened.
What’s different? McCarthy doesn’t have the votes because many of his more moderate members don’t think there’s enough proof to support an investigation or are afraid that voters won’t understand why they’re not spending most of their time on “kitchen-table” problems.
The speaker said that there would be a “formal” investigation because “House Republicans have found serious and credible allegations about President Biden’s behavior.” When all of these claims are put together, they show a system of corruption.”
But so far, most of what the GOP has found is illegal behavior by Hunter Biden, who is being looked into by a special counsel for crimes. McCarthy said that the government gave the president’s son “special treatment.”
All of this is happening because the most conservative people in McCarthy’s party are rebelling against him. They want to cut spending even more than the deal that stopped the government from going bankrupt. But Senate Democrats are not expected to agree, so there is a chance that the government will shut down on September 30.
Of course, they’ll probably find a way to “kick the can down the road” at the last minute.
d Here are some reasons why McCarthy’s job could be in danger. When he became speaker in January after 15 long rounds of votes, one of the most important things he agreed to was that any Republican could file a motion to get rid of him for any reason. Rep. Matt Gaetz is one of the most vocal supporters of this attempt, and McCarthy’s majority is only 5 seats.
Now, it’s possible that McCarthy will beat this move to get rid of him, especially if there are more votes, and keep his job.
Now, let’s talk about going after Biden. Even though some Republicans say he took bribes, there is no real evidence that he did. This is because there is no proof that he took bribes in connection with Hunter’s buckraking in Ukraine and China. “Republicans in the House have been looking into the President for 9 months, and they haven’t found any proof of wrongdoing,” said White House spokesman Ian Sams in a statement.
At the same time, Joe Biden’s claim that he had nothing to do with his son’s business has been weakened by the fact that, as vice president, he often talks on conference calls or has lunch with Hunter’s business partners.
All of this ends up making a huge mess for everyone.
It’s a standard Beltway farce, with a lot of sharp talk and deals going on behind the scenes that may not change much.
