McCarthy opens impeachment inquiry
-
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.

Very possible as it opens all kinds of opportunity for even more muck raking and malign innuendo.
Why let any pent up bile go to waste? It would be bad manners.

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.

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".
