Johnson Wants Another Impeachment Inquiry!

We're back to doing stupid shit again.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) will continue this farce against President Joe Biden.

He will hold a vote this week to launch another impeachment inquiry into the president based off unconfirmed conspiracies about his son Hunter Biden.

“I believe we will,” Johnson told Fox of a GOP-led impeachment inquiry. “I suspect no Democrats will assist in this effort, but they should.”

Instead of lowering inflation, solving the problems at home, Johnson will give Congress time to aid Israel in its genocide, deny Ukraine in its defense against Russia, restart the mission to repeal the Affordable Care Act, pass draconian bills and continue fighting with one another over who is the best member for MAGA. This is the hill, Johnson wants to stand on.

Johnson added Republicans “have a duty to do this” and “we cannot stop the process.”

Republican leadership and key GOP committee chairs on Friday made the case for why they believe an inquiry vote is necessary, arguing it would strengthen their legal standing in court and accusing the White House of “stonewalling” their probe into the president and his son’s foreign business dealings – a claim the White House has forcefully rebutted.

Johnson, appearing alongside House GOP conference chair, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), claimed the inquiry wouldn’t be used as a partisan political tool.

“Elise and I both served on the impeachment defense team of Donald Trump twice, when the Democrats used it for brazen partisan political purposes. We decried that use of it. This is very different,” Johnson said.

“Now we’re being stalled by the White House because they’re preventing at least two to three DOJ witnesses from coming forward” and withholding evidence from the National Archives, he continued. “A formal impeachment inquiry vote on the floor will allow us to take it to the next necessary step, and I think it’s something we have to do at this juncture.”

A spokesman for the White House counsel’s office, Ian Sams, told CNN in a statement Saturday, “This is a baseless, politically-motivated attempt to smear President Biden with lies, and it reflects how this chaotic House GOP is focused on the wrong priorities, when they should be working on real issues Americans actually care about like the President is.”

Republicans have a four seat majority. Losing George Santos will put Republicans at a disadvantage when it comes to reaching 218. Only 10 Republicans have no interest in dealing with an impeachment inquiry. Losing three Republicans dooms any attempt to launch an impeachment inquiry let alone a vote.

And they still have no concrete proof that Biden, then vice president at the time got unregistered funds while in office. All I seen from Rep. James Comer (R-KY) is bullshit.

Everything the GOP shown happened when Biden was a private citizen. So thus, from 2017 until 2021, Biden can do whatever he wanted. Hunter Biden is a private citizen and had no government role or any involvement in decisions for former president Barack Obama and former vice president Joe Biden.

Comer refuses to launch an investigation into Jared and Ivanka Kushner. They worked in the government and accepted unregistered funds while working for their father.

Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., Tiffany Trump and Eric Trump have earned millions while their father was in office.

Biden has faced a barrage of conspiracy theories, unflattering polls, pushback on his policies and reelection woes all the year. He has record unemployment but high inflation and lack of satisfaction in job. More Americans are divided over politics. The conflict between Israel and Hamas has rattled American opinions. It pitted the Democrats against one another. Republicans can't govern in the House and Senate. Donald J. Trump has indictments for theft of government property, advocating illegal election interference and misconduct while in office. He still leads in polls in the primary race. Candidates who want to be the party's presidential nominee, grumble as the Republicans bleed money and put the thumb on the scale for Trump.

Congress is a mess. Biden is a mess. Trump is a mess. America is a mess.
