An Impeachment Inquiry
Link to Quote: What’s ahead now that Republicans are opening an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden | The Hill
There is a huge difference between Articles of Impeachment and an Impeachment Inquiry:
"An impeachment inquiry is an investigation of possible wrongdoing by a federal official, such as the president of the United States, Cabinet officials or judges. The process is written into the Constitution and is the most powerful check that Congress has on the executive branch."
What’s ahead now that Republicans are opening an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden | The Hill
The House does have an obligation to move forward with this. An Impeachment Inquiry does not need to be voted on and I hope the Speaker does not take it to a vote. For people who don't watch Fox News and merely watch the basic leftist media such a move may come as a surprise. They may ask where all this is coming from. The facts are that the House Committee investigating Hunter Biden has uncovered thousands of pages of financial records involving various members of the Biden family, which they had to subpoena from the Treasury Department. I doubt many Americans even know that.
The Committee has also interviewed whistleblowers who worked at highest echelon of the IRS who were investigating Hunter Biden. They claimed their investigation had been limited by the Justice Department limiting who they could interview, with Hunter Biden being tipped off on a pending raid and the prosecutor in the case (now the Special Counsel) sitting on serious charges against Hunter while the statute of limitations ran out and eventually arranging for a sweetheart deal that would allow Hunter Biden to walk away from all past & future charges.
The Committee also revealed that Joe Biden spoke with Hunter Biden's associates on at least 20 occasions over a decade:
"Mr. Archer told lawmakers during the session that Hunter Biden had put his father on speakerphone to talk to his business partners about 20 times over a decade, according to both Republicans and Democrats in the room.
Representative James R. Comer, Republican of Kentucky and chairman of the Oversight Committee, said Mr. Archer had testified that Mr. Biden was put on the phone to sell “the brand.” The phone calls were made during a range of events, including a dinner in Paris with a French energy company and another in China with the executive of an investment fund, Mr. Comer said.
“Devon Archer’s testimony today confirms Joe Biden lied to the American people when he said he had no knowledge about his son’s business dealings and was not involved,” Mr. Comer said in a statement."
Biden Spoke With Hunter Biden’s Associates Repeatedly, Devon Archer Testifies - The New York Times (nytimes.com)
I have to use the term obviously to describe the influence peddling of Hunter & Joe Biden. The problem is that the key evidence that we now have mainly points to a coverup by the DOJ. Merrick Garland never recused himself from this case. He lied to us when he claimed that David Weiss had all the authority of a Special Counsel when he was investigating Hunter Biden as US Attorney in Delaware. That required a written confirmation from Garland. We now know that there never was any such documentation. So now the question is will we ever have the direct evidence that democrats claim we should have concerning Joe Biden's involvement?
Clearly people don't take checks made out to them from a foreign government buying influence. That kind of evidence simply & logically does not exist. The evidence like the LLC's that link Biden family members to the scheme is likely all we will ever get. Anything that would be damning has most likely been destroyed by the corrupt Merrick Garland. Speaker McCarthy should not put this Impeachment Inquiry to a vote because everyone knows how hard it will be to get additional evidence or to get vulnerable Republicans to vote for it. What happens now is very predictable. The leftist media will continue to ignore the story. David Weiss as Special Council will once again sit on this case until hell freezes over. All the House Committee can do is try and make the public aware of how these faux investigations have been handled.
Maybe if democracy and an honest media ever return, future generations will learn about the era of the left and how they kept the truth from the American people.

Joe Biden's bank accounts now may be opened. The House will have additional subpoena powers. Bank records, whistleblowers and many questionable actions will be scrutinized. Why did an FBI informant say Joe Biden took a bribe? Why was Joe Biden on all those phone calls?
I don't know how this turns out politically, but The House is doing what it must.
As the doj has refused to do its job, the house has to investigate.
It is far more serious than that.
Is that the "FBI informant" who is on the run from the law for being an international arms dealer in cahoots with Iran and China?
I don't know JR, maybe it's not. Try putting up something to support your allegations.
It's past time to impeach everybody in the far-right freedumb caucus.
Their political malfeasance could lead to the end of democracy.
Always some crisis if it impacts Democrats, huh?
I call it pure hatred and pure evil - today's gop/gqp/CONServatives/republiCONS
That's the whistleblower the dems tried to take out.

MAGA House is conducting a so-called “investigation” into a Biden impeachment, so, how about Dems conduct an investigation into whether Trump/Kushner ordered the torture & murder of Jamal Khashoggi because he found a sleazy deal in which Trump sold America out to the Saudis?
The President and Vice President release their 2022 tax returns
Today, the President and First Lady released their 2022 federal income tax return. With this release, President Biden has shared a total of 25 years of tax returns with the American public. Once again demonstrating his commitment to being transparent with the American people about the finances of the Commander-in-Chief, President Biden has released the most tax returns of any president while in office.
White House releases show Biden personal finances little changed
What's stopping them?
Nothing. It's being investigated as part of …
WASHINGTON — The House Oversight Committee has launched an investigation into a $2 billion investment by the Saudi government into a firm formed by Jared Kushner after he left the White House last year.
Then your call for an investigation seems, well, unnecessary and rather silly if one is already underway.
You just couldn't resist. Welcome back.
Of course not, the "goal" is to try and drag Joe Biden down to Trump's level.
and why is this important?
Because he got to drag Trump into it and attempts to defect (again!) from any and all criticisms of Biden.
No other reason!
And that is the only justification that the far-right wingers have.
There is absolutely NO evidence Joe Biden did anything wrong.
Even their key witness denies Devon Archer denies it.
Except the whistleblowers, bank accounts, text messages, WhatsApp messages, archers testimony etc there’s no evidence
There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.
The investigations are ongoing.
No need to be impatient!
Oh God, why doesn't that fat fucking thug fade into oblivion? That would be heaven. He's pure evil.
Yup, hatred, revenge, retribution, evil - all they got.
Who are these alleged whistleblowers? Devon Archer denies it.
So you all have no evidence, never have, never will.
Want a cracker?
The goal is to tell the truth about a coverup.
Joe and Jill Biden's taxes are public going back for decades. So, if there were any proof that Biden had unreported income, filed false returns or personally profited from graft and corruption then you would have him. He did not and you do not. There is no there there!
Yeah right, Joe forgot to add Form 1099WTF to list his bribes and grifts from foreign actors. 20 shell companies with no business purpose, multiple alias email accounts, millions and millions and millions of dollars going to Biden family members for no good reason, Joe lying multiple times about he knew.
Nothing to see here move along!
Especially his grandchildren who were college age or younger. And what about Jill? Both she and Joe had keys to that one business office that Hunter ran with his CCP friend. Maybe Jill and the grandkids are those blackened out, anonymous "family business" folks?
This oft-repeated crap has to be the single most stupid 'defense' of a Biden in the world.
Bet you won't answer just a few questions, will you?
Why do the Bidens have multiple shell companies?
What services did the Biden Family provide for the millions in foreign money they received?
Why has Joe been lying the whole time about his son's business?
To be honest, I fully expect these questions to be ignored by liberals as they usually are.
They have "thousands of pages" of financial records and still cannot explain the crime Biden allegedly committed. They dont want to remove Biden from office for wrong doing, they want to drag this fiasco out through the 2024 election .
Really?
Are you 100% positive on that?
Seems those 'financial records' led to proof of Hunter Biden lying on his taxes!
JR, 3 questions I know will be ignored, but I'll try anyway:
1. Why does the Biden Family have shell corporations set up and why did they launder money through them?
2. What services, if any, did the Biden Family provide for the millions in foreign money they collected?
3. Why has Joe Biden been lying the whole time about his son's business?
Let's see some intelligent attempts to answer these questions.
How about we start with getting the Ukrainian prosecutor fired.
With a media that refuses to cover it? I don't think so.
More people need to understand that statement.
Political witch hunt, nothing more.
Eerily familiar huh............
This is truly a witch hunt.
The former 'president' is no victim no matter how much you defend the indefensible,
Only with actual evidence. Not like the Democrats where there were lies to FISA Courts, fabricated documents, altered "evidence" and a partisan shitshow "committee".
Bull.
Have you even ever wondered why the Obama Admin. suddenly changed their assessment of the Ukrainian prosecutor?
Remember him--the one Biden got fired by threatening to withhold a billion dollars in aid?
The one who was investigating Burisma, where Hunter just so happened to be 'employed' at the time.
I look forward to watching this trump directed false equivalency theater blow up in GOP faces.
I look forward to the truth finally coming out about the Biden Family.
Way too many questions surrounding the Bidens which need answering.
Little innocent questions, for which I am positive someone at some point will be man enough to supply.
Like, why do the Bidens have shell corporations?
What services did the Biden provide to reap millions?
Why is Joe Biden still lying about it all?
Although I know it will do no good, I will help you out with some information
Have you ever looked anything up?

Comer often suggests that the Biden family used these so-called shell companies to launder money; in his telling, such companies served no legitimate function. But that claim is undercut by the list of 21 companies that appear in the second staff memo.
Virtually all of the companies (many of which now are defunct) had legitimate business interests. Others had clearly identified business investments.
Digging through the records, we find only three whose business purpose remains vague; one ( Rosemont Seneca Global Risk Services, LLC ) may not even be related to Hunter Biden, according to an email found in Hunter Biden’s laptop. The memos do not list any payments that flowed through these three companies.
Companies founded by Hunter Biden
Companies in partnership with Hunter Biden
Companies with a Hunter Biden connection
One named ‘shell’ company
Rosemont Seneca Thornton LLC is the one company specifically named in a staff memo as a shell company. As we have reported , this entity was created in 2013 to invest in BHR Partners, the Chinese fund. But almost as soon as Rosemont Seneca Thornton was created, the partners decided to dissolve it, according to a person with access to the board minutes. Thornton Group, one of the investors, was run by Jim Bulger, who brought expertise in investing in China. But the original structure had added unexpected regulatory burdens to Thornton, and so Bulger’s lawyers advised that the group split up, this person said. Archer, in his interview, confirmed this to committee investigators, saying the creation of the LLC was “a mistake.”
We’d previously reported that Archer kept the vehicle alive for his own real estate business, without telling Hunter Biden or Bulger, according to two people knowledgeable about Archer’s activities. After a Senate report alleged that Rosemont Seneca Thornton received a $3.5 million payment from Baturina, Archer told Bulger that he had used Rosemont Seneca Thornton to transfer funds from Baturina to purchase real estate in Brooklyn, according to a participant in the conversation.
I wonder how many shell companies the Trump family has used? Shall we look it up?
Hunter Biden was not registered as a lobbyist.
Can you ever stick to the topic or are you simply unable to control blurting out crap about Trump?
I wonder how many times you are going to try to distract to bullshit unrelated to the article?
When there is no legitimate excuse, deflect!
Liberal mantra.
Trump uses shell companies to limit his liability if he is sued . Also to hide campaign contributions that were paid out to Trump family members.
Maybe Hunter Biden was taking after Trump.

Why is it seemingly impossible for you to come to an article about Biden and discuss him without you dragging your hero around like a dog on a leash?
Do you suffer from a short attention span?
You puke out your obsession with Trump on almost every article no matter the topic.
Its getting very old and stale.
[Deleted]
I wish you were able to discuss these issues in an actual way instead of constantly spitting out right wing talking points. But that is going to be an unfulfilled wish.

That's funny. I have been reading here and it comes to my mind that several of the membership would love it if you were able to discuss ANY topic without your normal infusion of Trump. Try harder................SMH
Some things do turn out to be impossible.
Sadly.
Not to worry, he seems to have found his niche.
Another (if one can even IMAGINE) article on Trump.
At least we can return to the subject matter HERE.
You know, you guys are just not up to it. Its a skill thing and you dont have it.
I will await my inevitable ticket for telling you folks the truth.
There are a number of people here who can "debate" in an intelligent way, but they mostly dont have MAGA beliefs weighing down their thinking.
There are times when it is embarrassing to be part of this forum.
The truth?
Then you should amend that to read "telling you folks about stuff not in THIS article".
Your expertise at deflecting to Trump is well-established fact.
No, there is no way anyone else is in your league in that regard.
Congrats.
How would you know? All you ever want to talk about is Trump and I think I can speak for many here, we are tired as hell of it. And that is pretty fucking arrogant John. You aren't quite as much as you think you are.
And I will laugh
In other words, you don't really want debate. You want agreement. You want an echo chamber. You and a couple of other badgerers around here.
Indeed. When the themes always turn out to be one sided bullshit, it gets quite boring and I am sure the majority of the 730+ members agree since they don't show up any more.
Many of the people who are not here anymore left because the conservatives on this site get away with murder and it wasnt pleasant anymore.
The Republican congressional committees have had seven or eight months to produce evidence that Joe Biden took bribes. The person who allegedly paid the bribes said it never happened. They have nothing.
When Trump was impeached over the Ukraine phone call the Democrats produced people directly involved with the situation who testified. The only thing that saved Trump is that the Republicans in the senate would not allow witnesses.
The conservatives on this site are wrapped up in the right wing media bubble. It may make them feel strength with numbers but it hurts them badly when it comes to citing facts.
Oh bullhsit. Unless the mods previous didn't give a shit, I don't see anyone getting away with anything. Especially if Perrie had anything to do with it. She seems to run a pretty damned tight ship. I think it is more than likely the fact it is all politics and some folks just don't get into the subject. Like the all Trump, all the time, bullshit that started years ago.
All Trump, ALL THE TIME!
It does get rather old.
Like the failed Trump impeachment investigations did?
Have you noticed how each and every one of the Bidenistas here refuse to even attempt to answer 3 little old questions because even they realize there isn't a plausible explanation for some of the shit the Bidens have pulled.
Maybe they think everyone will ignore reality and facts?
show some legitimate evidence.
Always demanding that which you never supply.
But great job avoiding answering, exactly as I predicted.
.
Shel companies, multiple bank accounts, emails, etc.
You simply won't accept any evidence, so why ar5e you demanding some?
Why not take a shot at answering any of the questions so many liberals (all of them, actually) have been steadfastly ignoring?
Surely they are not too tough for smart people to answer.
Or maybe it IS.
We now have two people to thank for making a farce out of impeachment:
Reminds me of Second City TV and a skit that John Candy would do - watch things blow up - 'that blowed up real good'
can't wait to see it 'blowed up real good in their faces'!
