Newly minted House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA.) suggests that one of his first business orders is to advance efforts to impeach President Joe Biden.
During an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Johnson said that removing Biden from office is a real possibility due to the president's ties to his family's corrupt money-funneling scheme.
Johnson said that the Republican Party is the rule-of-law party and will follow the truth where it leads and engage in due process.
"We have the receipts on so much of this now," Johnson explained, suggesting that Biden was involved in his family's foreign business dealings. "It's a real problem."
"That's the reason that we shifted into the impeachment inquiry stage on the president himself because if, in fact, all the evidence leads to where we believe it will, that's very likely impeachable offenses," he added. "That's listed as a cause for impeachment in the Constitution — bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors."
Republicans have been after Biden for months after explosive revelations revealed the president was involved in his son's shady foreign businesses and profiting from his abuse of power.
In September, then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA.) announced an impeachment inquiry, uncovering corrupt allegations into Biden's actions.

Associates of Hunter have claimed Biden took part in dozens of business meetings with executives from foreign companies like Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings, which counted Hunter as a member of the board. The investigation has revealed how Biden and Hunter used pseudonyms and burner email accounts to coordinate the White House's strategy in responding to allegations that Biden pressured Ukrainian officials to fire a prosecutor investigating Burisma for corruption. With Speaker Johnson now at the helm, expect the impeachment inquiry to gain steam and turn Washington's focus back on Biden's unseemly family affairs. Hunter continues to negotiate with Washington, D.C. U.S. Attorney David Weiss over a plea deal while President Biden remains "consumed" by the drama, lashing out at aides who recommend he distance himself from his struggling son.
The House Oversight Committee recently discovered a $200,000 payment to Biden from his brother, James Biden. The payout happened the same day one of James Biden's business ventures granted him a loan in the same amount.
But I like the Third in Succession.
This is all a distraction.
The Democrats offer never-coming socialism.
The Republicans offer never-coming revenge.
I just want to get back to business.
NO! To Carmela “fweedumb” hawiss! 🤮
Johnson means business on impeachment. McCarthy was delaying it and just allowing hearings to excite the base without doing jack.
The Demonrats delivered on the Communist totalitarianism. The GOP claims they can merely run it better and never roll it back.
He can be impeached, but he will never be removed. It does not matter how corrupt he is.
Why air thus publicly?
Mental masturbation...a feel good exercise.
/s
The game is to drip out the evidence for public consumption
Not all at once. Keep Joe wondering when the next one is coming
He’s close to profanity-laced very public tirade now for all the world to see
Biden or Camelface what difference?
Closer to a squinty eyed grimace followed by a wry grin of relief....just depends.
Senate will never convict, but the spectacle of provable crimes and bribery will taint the Democrats much more than the nonsense impeachments of Trump. Likely that though the Dems won’t convict no matter what, seeing he could drag them down they could “encourage” him to resign for health reasons before the dirty laundry is fully aired in a Senate trial. Kamala will name Newsom as bp and likely be encouraged to stay out of the race so he can be their nominee.
Newsome v. Romney...the “dream ticket” of nightmares.
So Biden gets impeached. It will be on the record. RINOs will be forced to vote for his impeachment. If not, we can primary them.
“Why air thus publicly?”
Your spelling or usage aside, there very much needs to be a prosecution of this case; in public and on record.
A hearing will bring about the reckoning. Public ridicule, and its sting, are so very real.
If the Democrat party will turn a blind eye to treason, let the record reflect their support of that treason — let them earn their just reward!
Take a page from the Democrat’s Watergate book. Impeach the Veep first.
The dems offer EVER-comimg socialism. Thats all they implement.
The repubs offer never-coming justice.
Its because the dems, and the repub leadership, are uniparty.
Why waste time ain’t shit gonna happen in the senate. Damn repukes!
