By Ray Cardello for September 13, 2023, Season 21 / Post 50

On a split screen, I was amazed to see Kevin McCarthy’s announcement covered simultaneously on FOXNews, MSNBC, and CNN, but the post comments could not be further apart. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) on MSNBC, called the Speaker’s actions and the MAGA Republicans an arm of the Trump campaign. Schultz is rich, saying that the Republicans have no evidence showing wrongdoing but that the Democrats had plenty of credible evidence to Impeach President Donald Trump. We know in retrospect that they did not and relied on manufactured evidence.

Congresswoman Schultz has a short memory or is lying about the Trump Impeachment Inquiry. Nancy Pelosi set the precedent in 2019 by doing the exact thing that McCarthy is now. They both bypassed a House vote and used the power of their office to call for the Inquiry. An Inquiry is the first step in the process and usually leads to a vote to impeach the sitting President. An official Impeachment Inquiry has more power for investigating than House committee investigations. The Republicans have been frustrated by the lack of cooperation with the Biden Administration and the Justice Department to be forthcoming with requested documents and evidence. The Inquiry’s power will pressure Biden and Garland to cooperate or face contempt of Congress charges.

If a vote were taken today on Impeachment, it would probably fail. Too many Republican members of Congress are running for reelection in districts won by Joe Biden in 2020. They fear an Impeachment of Biden would hurt their reelection bids, turning the seat over to the Democrats. With Democrats controlling the Senate, there is little chance of a successful Impeachment trial and vote. A well run Impeachment Inquiry showing how corrupt the Biden Family is, how much they have profited from their shakedown of foreign companies and countries, and the possible compromise of the President of the United States may be enough to turn no votes to yes. An Inquiry will also have to be covered by a biased media that has been protecting Joe Biden by suppressing the news and keeping half the country hoodwinked.

The timing of the Inquiry could not be worse for the President. Special Counsel Weiss has committed to indicting Hunter Biden by the end of September, which will further soil the Biden name in the mainstream media. This attention should be too much for any hopes of Biden winning a second term, putting the spotlight onto Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, or Gretchen Whitmer. None of those three excite the Democrat base, and the bench on the Left is very weak.

Democrat members of Congress and the President will all minimize the Republican case against Joe Biden, but the evidence has been piling up. The fact that Hunter Biden’s lawyers have been accused of pressuring the IRS whistleblowers to change or retract their testimony. The House Republicans have directed Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate these charges, which will be the first step in the current level of cooperation.

This process is not payback for the Democrat treatment of Donald Trump. Joe Biden has been using the power of his office for years to grow a fortune for the Biden Family. He has been using America as a piggy bank for the extended Biden family, and it is time to pay the piper. Watching Joe Biden fall like one of the many statues pulled down or defaced by hostile Democrats will be sad for the country but oh so sweet for Republicans.
