McCarthy Stops Short of Calling for Vote on Impeachment Inquiry
Breitbart ^ | 09/12/2023 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 09/12/2023 11:28:14 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) announced the start of an impeachment inquiry Tuesday into President Joe Biden over his family’s businesses. But he stopped short of calling for a vote to authorize the inquiry.

The problem: Republicans argued during the first impeachment of President Donald Trump that Democrats could not use Congress to subpoena the White House until the House had voted to authorize an impeachment inquiry. In fact, that argument was a major part of President Trump’s defense against the charge that he obstructed Congress by refusing to comply with subpoenas issued before an inquiry had been formally authorized by a House vote.

So he created a firewall to protect Biden from congressional subpeonas. These uniparty hacks could really make some real positive impacts on society if they put their minds to doing going good things instead of working out clever ways to screw us all for their benefit.

This is just another part of the operation to show the public that Congress cannot fix things, the courts cannot fix things and the DOJ cannot fix things. This has to be shown over and over again so that even the dimmest bulb finally gets it.

Remember in school when the teacher had to repeat stuff until the dumbest kid in the class got it? Yeh, well its going to be an agonizing next few months.

Never underestimate the Republican party’s ability to muck things up.

"impeachment inquiry"?

Is that the best they can do?

How about a full-fledged impeachment for both Biden and Harris?

You don't call the vote until you're sure you HAVE the votes!!!

FReepers need to learn the difference between cowardice and good tactics.

Forget Biden... He’s toast anyways...

How about eliminating the IRS addition of 87,000 paid assassins?

What about the DOD’s disastrous destruction of the Nation’s remaining military strength?

What about doing something about the country’s energy needs?

What about investing Pelousy’s financial gains?

What about doing something about the DOJ’s refusal to obey document requests?

What about investigating the ties of Federal judges to either, or both, terrorist organizations or communist organizations?

What about cutting off funding of everything related to the J6 protest and the Gestapo’s handling of it?

What about investigating the hugely expanded WH costs, staffing, and support of political corruption & foreign enemies?

Etc...
Etc...
Etc...
