An Impeachment Inquiry
“Everyone should understand, impeachment is not the goal,” Rep. Darrell Issa, a senior Republican on House Judiciary Committee, one of the panel’s tasked with investigating Biden, told reporters recently. “Impeachment is a way of saying this is not a legislative oversight, but in fact an oversight of possible wrongdoing.”

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.

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

Trump privately discussed Biden impeachment with House GOPers

Donald Trump has been weighing in behind the scenes in support of the House GOP push to impeach President Joe Biden, including talking with a member of leadership in the lead up to Tuesday’s announcement authorizing a formal impeachment inquiry.

The former president has been speaking weekly with House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, who was the first member of Republican leadership to come out in support of impeachment. The two spoke Tuesday, after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced Republicans would be pursuing the inquiry, according to two people familiar with the conversation.

Stefanik has been a longtime Trump ally. She endorsed his comeback presidential bid before he made his official announcement and has been mentioned as a potential Trump VP pick should he win the GOP nomination.

On Sunday night, Trump had dinner at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J., with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), an ally of Trump and McCarthy. At the gathering, the topic of impeachment was discussed, according to a person familiar with the conversation who spoke on condition of anonymity.

A Trump spokesperson did not comment . The former president has not been shy about his belief that Biden should be impeached. Late last month he wrote on Truth Social: \"Either IMPEACH the BUM, or fade into OBLIVION. THEY DID IT TO US.\"

But the extent of his private involvement in encouraging House Republicans to plow forward with the process shows the influence he continues to wield inside the party as its likely presidential nominee. It could also spark further attacks from Biden’s camp that impeachment is being done merely to bloody him up before the election.

Trump was impeached twice by the Democratic-controlled House during his tenure — first, over his pressure campaign against Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to investigate Biden, and later for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Trump will be in Washington at the end of the week and is taping an interview with Megyn Kelly on Wednesday.

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.

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?

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 .
