It's only recently that McCarthy said th e GOP would start impeachment inquiry through a vote in the House floor rather than through proclamation.
https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/topic/26511/we-don-t-proclaim-we-vote?_=1694388997611Has there been a vote on the House floor yet on this matter?

Let’s see now.
Just over a year until next election.
Impeachment inquiry into incumbent POTUS seeking re-election appears to be in line with the current political atmosphere affecting not only the US but other countries as well. Sounds about right.
I’d sure like a back bench revolt in this country about now. Not likely as we’re not nearly as politically mature as the UK parliament in this regard.

My prediction is that this will delay and delay until after the election. That way, they can keep it in the front of the news without having to actually release any findings.

Why let any pent up bile go to waste? It would be bad manners.

Remember all 6 Benghazi investigations in Congress? I think that’s along the lines of what we’re seeing here.
Content-wise it will more or less be a repeat of the last congressional investigation.

The White House plans to send a letter to top US news executives on Wednesday, urging them to intensify their scrutiny of House Republicans after Speaker Kevin McCarthy launched an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, despite having found no evidence of a crime.
“It’s time for the media to ramp up its scrutiny of House Republicans for opening an impeachment inquiry based on lies,” Ian Sams, a spokesperson for the White House Counsel’s Office, wrote in the letter, according to a draft copy obtained by CNN.
The letter, which said an impeachment inquiry with no supporting evidence should “set off alarm bells for news organizations,” will be sent to executives helming the nation’s largest news organizations, including CNN, The New York Times, Fox News, the Associated Press, CBS News, and others, a White House official familiar with the matter said.

Apparently the dem strategy will be to deny that evidence exists.
We have all seen mountains of evidence, just on Tucker Carlson's show alone.
I think there is a good chance the dems can make the evidence go away, just by denial.

Andrew Sullivan on this inquiry:
It makes Newt Gingrich look like Howard Baker.

@LuFins-Dad at least McCarthy had the good sense to wait more than four and a half hours after Biden took office...

Did the Washington Post run a full spread on the Biden Inquiry as put forth by Greene?

Wikipedia:
On January 21, 2021, the day after the inauguration of Joe Biden, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) filed an article of impeachment against President Biden. Her articles related to the Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory. Greene alleged abuse of power while Biden previously served as vice president of the United States. Her article of impeachment claimed that Viktor Shokin was investigating the founder of Burisma Holdings, a natural gas giant in Ukraine. Biden's son Hunter Biden had served as a member of the board since 2014.
Well, there you go.
And the witch from Mass threatened it even before Trump was inaugurated.
In December 2016, Democratic senators Elizabeth Warren, Dick Durbin, Chris Coons, Ben Cardin, and Jeff Merkley introduced a bill that would require the president of the United States to divest any assets that could raise a conflict of interest, including a statement that failure to divest such assets would constitute high crimes and misdemeanors "under the impeachment clause of the U.S. Constitution".
