“Republicans have been cuing up a potential impeachment of President Biden if they take back control of Congress in the midterm elections.
Now they just need to figure out what they might actually impeach him for.”
Impeachment as a partisan weapon.
And needless to say, Republicans will make the same claim with regard to both times Trump was impeached.
Well, you all started it. Very shortly after Trump took office, the left was talking about impeachment, even before a charge was uttered, before an investigation had ensued. You have been investigating Trump for 7 years, probably going to investigate him for a few more years. Whatever it takes to keep him from running again, and that is the goal.
I also recall "high crimes and misdemeanors is whatever congress says it is".
You impeached Trump twice with no indictments, no evidence of a crime, only assumptions and circumstantial evidence. It was purely political.
Ironically, I was listening to Dean obiedallah the other day, and he was saying he just couldn't believe that after all this time, that Trump was still walking around free. Well, maybe that should tell you something. 7 years of investigations and you can't find anything to indict him on, perhaps your answer is there.
Michealangelo signorile had a guest on that said he thinks it unlikely that this january 6th panel will refer charges to the justice department, that what will probably happen is they will put the report out for the public to see, and if the justice department wants to pick it up, they can.
That's pretty telling coming from a VERY hard-core progressive show like signorile, to have one of his guests saying they don't think there will be any doj referrals from this J6 investigation. Time will tell though.
Yes, you can expect investigations, Ukraine, "the big guy", the firing of the Ukraine prosecutor, pelosis texts during J6. Those and probably more will be put through committee hearings.
But, here's the difference, and this is something that should comfort you, and the rest of the left, and that is, when it comes to playing the same games as the left, and holding then accountable, the right has no spine, and will probably just do like they always do, "we just want to get along, and work across the aisle". I've always said the politicians on the right have no spine.
So, at the end of it, we may not actually see any investigations...
