I suspect these charges will vanish like a fart in the wind.

Hypothetical...
What happens if none of these charges or the NYC charges stick? Is this the end of legal gotcha games at the state level in Presidential elections?

I dunno. Tit-for-tat eventually winds up being a form of mutually assured destruction.

Which is exactly why I oppose impeaching Biden. We do not want it to become the norm. GOP should have taken the high road and shouted it to the rafters, at least until there is something concrete, not just something we can claim.

I'm afraid there's not much high road in politics.

Agreed, but...
Just from a purely political/power point of view, and impeachment inquiry, with no subsequent impeachment might be a savvy move - one that will expose the corruption that is alleged, weakening Robert L. Peters, allowing a GOP win.
Impeachment is a non-starter, because conviction is not going to happen, and even if it does, we're looking at Kamala for a year.
Expose everything - you know, sunlight.

High road? Politics? C'mon, man! The GOP is playing by the Alinsky book. Once a tradition or norm is struck down, Senator Reid, there's no need for the other side to adhere to it for the sake of taking the high road. "Make 'em play by their own rules."

I think that's exactly the route we've chosen on every conceivable level. Culturally, technologically, politically, militarily, you name it. We haven't hit the brakes on any of it.

Comer says he has the votes. They aren't going to impeach Biden. But they are going to air out a lot of dirty laundry.

Nope. He think he has the votes to open an inquiry. Apparently, an official inquiry gives Congress more subpoena power, etc.

That's what I thought. McCarthy has said it's in the offing.
