I wish I could find something positive and optimistic in this announcement; unfortunately, the posturing moves of the DC machinery never lead to a genuine level of accountability. The UniParty protects its own.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announces the beginning of a formal impeachment inquiry stemming from the financial fraud and schemes deployed by the Biden family as they sold their positions for personal financial gain. WATCH:
[Transcript] – “In recent months, House Republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden’s conduct; taken together, these allegations paint a picture of a culture of corruption.
“Now, here’s what we know so far:
“Through our investigations, we have found that President Biden lied to the American people about knowledge of his family’s foreign business dealings.
“Eyewitnesses have testified that the President joined multiple phone calls and had multiple interactions, dinners, resulting in cars and millions of dollars to his son and his son’s business partners.
“Bank records show that nearly $20 million in payments were directed to Biden family members and associates through various shell companies.
“The Treasury Department, alone, has more than 150 transactions involving the Biden family and other business associates that were flagged as “suspicious activity” by U.S. banks.
“Even a trusted FBI informant has alleged a bribe to the Biden family.
“Biden used his official office to coordinate with Hunter Biden’s business partners about Hunter’s role in Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company.
“Finally, despite these serious allegations, it appears that the President’s family has been offered special treatment by Biden’s own administration; treatment he would not otherwise have received if he were not related to the President.
“These are allegations of abuse of power, obstruction, and corruption, and they warrant further investigation by the House of Representatives.
“That’s why today, I am directing our House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. This logical next step will give our committees the full power to gather all the facts and answers for the American public.
“It’s exactly what we want to know, the answers, and I believe the President would want to answer these questions and allegations as well.
“This effort will be led by Chairman James Comer at the Committee on Oversight, in coordination with Chairman Jim Jordan of the Judiciary Committee and Chairman Jason Smith on Ways and Means.
“I don’t make this decision lightly. And Regardless of your party or who you may have voted for, these facts should concern all Americans.
“The American people deserve to know that public offices are not for sale – and that the federal government is not being used to cover up the actions of a politically-associated family.
“I would encourage the President and his team to fully cooperate with this investigation in the interest of transparency.
“We are committed to getting the answers for the American public – nothing more, nothing less.
“We will go wherever the evidence takes us.”
Your 1st paragraph sums up the optimism that many conservatives feel, SD.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
This isn’t going anywhere. No one should get their hopes up.
The votes have already been anssigned and it won’t pass.
Time to write your “Rep” and Senatots and advise them to conduct a valid investigation and ensure that any resulting consequences apply.
Always have. And not once, ONCE, has it made a damn bit of difference over what now must be some 70-100 calls. And letters sent return receipt requested and/or via their congressional “contact me” utility I don’t know. I think it’s over except for the shooting. From everything I’ve studied about those men it’s on me they would have already been shooting, for FAR LESS, and probably 30 years ago at that. I am convinced that if this Country is to be snatched back from the Abyss it will have to come by force. We’re simply in too deep at this point. I don’t give a damn what anybody says.
Only “your Rep” was probably slid in to office via voter fraud and then he really isn’t “Your” representative, is he. His ass belongs to Massa and he do what massa say.
This is nothing, read ZERO more than another McCarthy false flag. A DISTRACTION from his already active effort and in collusion with Hakeem “The Dream” Jeffries to distract from his full intent to foist upon this Heartland the next CR – between 1800-2300 EST on 30 September. Insofar as Matt Gaetz precise summation it’s his and the rest of the Freedumb Caucus” for letting McCarthy off a well set hook last January. I KNEW this would happen. Just as the did last 30 May. Nothing will change as long as they keep this California left of center McCarthy. Ditch McConnell as well. Past even this, and even with a “-R ” majority they’d never get it past the “lower chamber to begin with. I’ll leave the senate to the rest here. Now McCarthy claims “more time is needed on appropriations”. These bastards knew last November 2022 they’d have the House back and did NOTHING let alone they just came back from yet another six (6) week vacation. An emergency you know.
I don’t understand why we are going through the impeachment process. Impeachment gives legitimacy to the 2020 election fraud.
Evidence being publicly reported points to treason and conspiracy. No need to grand stand in Congress. Additional waste of taxpayer $$.
How about impeaching Biden for election fraud that made him an illegitimate President.
I agree!
Well, that one is called treason.
reputed president, in actuality a coup figurehead
Agreed.
It’s just an impeachment inquiry, you know Kabuki.
“We really didn’t impeach the potato we just asked questions”. CYA move.
You know wasted time and money, the requirements of our phony baloney jobs.
Agreed. Cut to the chase; charge Bastard Biden and his krew with treason, and go for life sentences.
Ask someone to explain “impeahment inquiry” vs. “impeahment’….
I think that the guillotine should make a comeback…
ho hum. who gives a flying ef
ho hum. who gives a flying ef about the fake charges and fake lawsuits against Trump.
This all stops dead in the Senate.
Just like Trump’s impeachments.
difference was President Trump was proven innocent multiple times. Biden and his family actually did the deeds.
Yep!
Probably.
But the House impeachment hearings can be used to air all the damning evidence against the ‘Biden’ crime family.
No impeached president has been re-elected, though if Trump opposes ‘Biden’ in 2024, then one of them will.
Still suspect the Fourth Branch will find a way to neutralize ‘Biden,’ since too much is at stake for the highly exposed spooks to allow ‘Biden’ to continue his dangerous blundering.
IMO, everyone should stop thinking about Biden being the Dem candidate. The polls showing his ranking versus everyone else is phony. Who do I think will run for the DEMs? Who has been running the country under Biden? Obama. How does he keep his agenda going? Michelle.
Begging to differ. Mike O has no interest in either disrupting his life of ease, nor shows any willingness to be acclaimed as the nation’s first trans POTUS.
BJ Clinton gained 9 house seats after being impeached.
It won’t make it to the senate.
First they do the formal inquiry — something that the Dems DID NOT DO with Trump. The Dems went straight to Impeachment for the optics.
A robust impeachment INQUIRY will uncover the corruption. It needs not go to actual impeachment to destroy Biden’s election chances.
They don’t have the votes in the Senate to impeach. This is a fund raising scheme by the uniparty as it benefits both wings, and as some one said, it only offers legitimacy to the steal.
It’s an opportunity for McCarthy to “act” for the camera.
Just like they didn’t have the votes in the Senate for the Trump impeachments.
The Senate does not Impeach. It convicts or acquits someone impeached by the House.
And this is NOT impeachment — it is an impeachment INQUIRY — that is, an activity to gather the evidence that might lead to impeachment. It is an activity that the Dems DID NOT do — they went straight to Impeachment.
So … when Biden resigns in a few weeks … for health issues … will the impeachment proceed? Or will the fair-minded Republicans just not want to pile on to an old, feeble, dementia patient? Hence … no permanent public revelation of the Biden’s SELLING of America will ever be recorded. Nope. Just another Republican witch hunt.
All ready recorded. Biden’s SELLING of America is already on record.
The heart of any lithium-ion battery is the chemical reaction that occurs between the lithium ions and the battery’s anode and cathode.
Might I add the cathode is the NEGATIVE end of the conducting rod in a battery … hence the “correction” of my comment
Yeah! What L4Grasshopper said below …
By opening this formal inquiry, it give Comer and Jordan subpoeana power to get more info than they already have assembled. What Comer and Jordan have already done has provided lots and lots of leads — now they will have legal authority to compel document delivery and witness depositions.
At LEAST. But this is also… where it will end
Then Biden will be criminally prosecuted.
You can tell it’s bull because he didn’t impeach Garland. That’s the third rail.
Or
MAYORKAS WHO HEADS ALL The ALPHABET AGENCIES ENABLING the TRAFFICKING Of ILLEGALS
Hasn’t isn’t the same as never will.
Seems to me that James Comer has already presented enough info already about Biden’s misdeeds. He just needs to write it up and present as the ‘investigation’.
Yep.
Yep … he had that wrapped up back in July … what’s taken so long?
By opening this formal inquiry, it give Comer and Jordan subpoeana power to get more info than they already have assembled. What Comer and Jordan have already done has provided lots and lots of leads — now they will have legal authority to compel document delivery and witness depositions.
Smoke and mirrors to distract from border invaders, lawfare and funding this corrupt administration. Kevin is complicit.
Walk and chew gum at the same time.
BING-GO jrod
Where ALL inquiries go to die!
I truly pray all Americans are sick & tired of the good cop/bad cop scenario and finally realize there is no “Good” cop when it comes to politics.
DNC = Democratic National Communist
RNC = Republican National Communist
See… there is a difference.
I truly pray all Americans are sick & tired of the good cop/bad cop scenario and finally realize there is no “Good” cop when it comes to politics.
Tired of the Bogus Trump criminal charges.
Tired of the Russian Collusion Hoaxes.
Tired of the Fake Trump Impeachments.
Tired of the Phony civil lawsuit against Trump.
DNC = Democratic National Communist
RNC = Republican National Communist
TRUMP=MAGA
How many “criminal referrals” went out the past 5+ years? You know, the ones detailing FELONIES that “IG” Horowitz concurred with as committed by the Dept. of Just-Us and their armed jackboot proxy fbi. Boy oh boy oh boy, they were effective, no?
Yawn….
No need for impeachment. Tax evasion is how they caught Al Capone.
It’s all offshore now.
The IRS works for Biden and the Biden Regime. Won’t happen.
Blowhard
This move is designed to take the sympathy away fromTrump.
Are all gubmint hacks from the “C” state inept fools?
I had a nice breakfast. Thinking about dinner now! Sarc
He’s a snake in the grass – I hope he doesn’t think we are falling for this big lie. I don’t believe a single word any of them say.
just another time consuming distraction that will ultimately change nothing for the better
the fact these comedic actors spend zero time on our broken elections tells us all we need to know
“It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
too little too late. these people are hoping their own images for their base are enhanced. posturing bs artists.
Total BS we know it’s not going anywhere and the Democrats destroyed the very meaning of the impeachment
Of course Biden lied. Now get to the treason and have him hanged according to the law. Well? What about it?
Seems to be it was what wasn’t said that is the most important. While they are pointing fingers at the ‘family’ there is missing the money that went directly to Biden. I’ve read proof of such sums but was it a part of the impeachment? Falling short of the mark it seems to me.
I noticed that too…not mentioning how much went to Biden. Wimpy GOP don’t want to offend the Dems.
This is something for Congress to wast their time on while attempting to distract and placate the America First crowd. It will result in nothing, but get a lot of media attention and give people something to talk about other than combating voter fraud and dealing with the ballot harvesting in 2024. If it they actually wanted to get rid of him they wouldn’t have waited until the last year of his term to do it.
The senate won’t vote for impeachment, we can’t shut down the government, if Nikki Haley was only President. 2 Tier system of BS. No bail for the weary, sit down and shut up.
Expect a Sternly Worded Document
So what if the Dems decide to use this way to get rid of Biden?
Then they could use a narrative of “See, we don’t think anyone is above the law.”
Hopefully it is a statement and stall until the democrats get around to replacing Biden. They want republicans to do it for political advantages, and republicans want them to do it. Democrats will have to replace him sooner than later to get their new nominee for’24 situated. Let the democrats shoulder the blame. In the meantime, we can advertise how evil Biden really is.
All right, people, place your bets on how long a) it will take them to have their first “witness” hearing; b) how much fundraiser milking House members will be raking in; c) whether Pencil Neck or Fang-Fang/Bang-Bang will find their way onto the committee; d) how many “witnesses” will successfully get their subpoenas quashed by the District Circus; e) how many “witnesses” will disappear; f) how soon Zelenskyy’s house in Florida goes on the market; g) how quickly Bidan invokes Presidential privilege for not only himself, but anyone within 2 miles of him, including Parmesan Cheese Sniffer; h) how many documents will NOT be produced, even with a valid subpoena duces tecum; i) how many times a witness will say, “I don’t recall.”
Oh. So the Uniparty has decide Biden can’t beat Trump. It might be too obvious this time when they would need more ballots than voters.
I’m not just skeptical, I’m thinking the unitary is making a play here.
I have been raging all day about this move. This is fail, a complete fail. This is a uniparty problem, they know that they cannot beat Trump in another election and they don’t want to have to 22nd Amendment him. So, their solution is the House impeaching Biden and it failing in the Senate in such a way that the Uniparty benefits and MAGA is painted as a bunch of rabid political wolves.
The MAGA move is to investigate Biden, get it all out in the open, unredacted. Completely hobble Biden, and hobble Democrats by making them defend the indefensible. Force Democrats either run Biden in the general election and get slaughtered at the ballot box, or force them to file the impeachment and make Democrats prosecute it in the Senate.
There is no MAGA upside here. If we win, we lose political capital in the fight and we grace the country with the number one diversity hire on earth, Kamala Harris, who will be the first female President, depriving millions of imminently more qualified women of that title. Further, we clear a path for the Uniparty/Democrats to run Newsom without a political in-fight. If we lose in either Congress or the Senate, we exonerate Biden.
This is absolutely insane, this is MAGA only thinking one step ahead. We cannot be stupid, we cannot be short sighted, we are fighting people who are playing the very long game and they are out gaming us at every move.
FYI, the 22nd Amendment move is that Trump wins in 2024 and Democrats admit that they rigged the election and document the votes that they injected to swing the election. All to “save democracy” obviously. They then force recounts in their own urban districts that subtract out those fraud ballots, swinging the 2020 election back to Trump which disqualifies Trump under the 22nd Amendment because the two term limit is based upon winning the election, not actually being President.
You are mistaken.
Like most today, you are conflating impeachment “inquiry” with actual impeachment.
By authorizing this inquiry, the House gives Comer and Jordan legal authorities they don’t now have, such as to subpoena documents [like from banks] and compel testimony under oath.
The Republican Senate is as probably compromised as Biden, but not so blatantly. Remember, Biden was part of their community for decades.
Case in point is Senator Graham.
To me the Republican Senate top tier is complicit in all the things that are wrong with the current Administration.
At some point, Biden will resign and demand an agreement to not be prosecuted. The Republicans should be ready with a demand all prosecutions of Trump be withdrawn and an agreement to no further prosecutions be made.
But do not agree to let Hunter and the rest of the Biden crime family off the hook.
I respectfully disagree.
Prosecute to the full extent of the law .
The only thing he needs to do right now is release the J6 tapes
and defund the DOJ and FBI
ok that is more than only one thing…..
The speaker announcing to the world, that three republican committee chairmen will be responsible for the theatrical production, also called an impeachment investigation. It is guaranteed to go nowhere, but it’ll give the appearance, that something is being done.
It really is pretty genius if you think about it. It’s another act in Republican Failure Theater, the Dems get to act appalled that the GOP would politicize the impeachment process (yes, they have weapons-grade levels of hypocrisy and chutzpah), and they also get what they REALLY want, which is for Biden to step down “for the good of the country” and get someone else in there who isn’t tainted by the rotten fecal corpse of Biden’s failure to run against Trump. Voila: nice, clean slate Democrat makes “centrist noises” running against the personality of Donald Trump. Oh… and “muh reaperductive rights!”
In the immortal words of Gordon Lightfoot . . .
“Sometimes I think it’s a sin when I feel like I’m winning, when I’m losing again”
Did the Martxist Dims give Speaker McCarthy the ‘go ahead” to launch his House Impeachment Inquiry,… cuz they now want their loathed Demented Grifter-n-Chief Criminal Family Gang Leader with poll numbers sinking fast now gone before he can run for reelection?
As Donald says, “We’ll See!”
The kabuki theatre begins.

Ice skating in Hell
luv it
“We are committed to getting the answers for the American public – nothing more, nothing less.”
Getting answers, and making them public knowledge, are two completely different things. Nothing more means nothing substantial will be done.
“We will go wherever the evidence takes us.”
Prison, I hope!
I’m solidly in the, I’ll believe it when I see it camp. I think he’s already shown his hand. He makes bullet points of questionable behaviors but then says ” “We will go wherever the evidence takes us.” meaning, like the un- indicted criminal James Comey looking into the un-indicted criminal Hillary Clintons’ ” indiscretions” they’ll take us right up to the edge and just when you think they will actually pull the trigger they will say something along these lines; ” As scummy, underhanded and dastardly as this all looks, nothing rose to the level that we feel should remove the scummy, underhanded and dastardly Biden from office. Were mistakes made, yes but now it’s time to get on with the business of running the country, blah, blah, blah”
Like we seem to say quite often now; only time will tell.
I believe that Comer has a lot of very incriminating financial evidence and the “Official Inquiry” will enable him to uncover even more through subpoenas for Biden’s bank accounts statements.
Although the Senate would never convict no matter how incriminating the evidence is getting the financial evidence of Biden’s corruption out before the public is a very good step for getting President Trump back in office!
You are one of the few today that has figured it out. Most seem to be conflating an “impeachment inquiry” process with the actual “impeachment”.
In my opinion, Biden can be destroyed just by the evidence produced by the inquiry. A formal Impeachment in the House won’t even be necessary.
You are correct. Inquiry-Committee recommends yea or nea-if yea, goes to full house for a vote (simple majority) and to your second point , that is the main answer to all the ” well, the senate won’t convict so why bother?”
Anything that will help President Trump is a ‘go’ with me. Thank you for explaining this.
DC Drama that goes nowhere and it is wearing V-E-R-Y thin…..I WANT MY PRESIDENT BACK!!!!! #TRUMP2024
The House RINOs are offering this in attempt to strike a deal with the House Patriots in exchange for the Patriots letting the continuing budget resolution slide thru, WITHOUT defunding Jack Smith, WITHOUT defunding Ukraine, etc. They are trying to create hopeium for their MAGA constituents. What a scam!!
And they are offering merely an impeachment INQUIRY… not actual impeachment; but even if they do vote to impeach, there is no way the Senate will convict. It’s a WORTHLESS offer! This is why they dragged their feet on impeachment for MONTHS, only to bring it up as September 30th (the funding deadline) looms near.
In striking contrast, the House has the SOLE power to originate any money bill, so if Smith, Ukraine, etc, are omitted, there is NOTHING Senate can do about it. I would LOVE to see a govt shutdown over this!
Scam indeed. They are always seeking leverage, at our expense, aren’t they?
Add 99.9% of the rest of the Government scum and we’d all celebrate. Even listening to this piece of garbage makes my stomach roll. The BS just rolls off his tongue like honey. Once you see it you can NEVER unsee it. Absolutely NOTHING untowart could happen to these Demons that I wouldn’t celebrate. They need to finally reap what they’ve sown.
McCarthy is doing his best to slow walk this process.
Could this also lead to Impeach 44?
The fear of putting the corrupt government on trial, so much guilt to go around, now they all are trying to keep the cat in the bag and move on. Bribery is the word of the day, and treasury theft.
Wish Matt Gaetz was involved. He might not get lasting results, but he’d sure as heck stir the puddin real good.
