I DON'T THINK IT WILL HAPPEN. SOME REPUBLICANS ARE CALLING FOR BIDEN'S IMPEACHMENT, BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT KAMMY THE SPEECHMAKER COULD BECOME PRESIDENT. FROM FOX:
Republicans immediately began lashing out at President Biden Thursday following the release of an unclassified FBI document detailing his alleged involvement in an international bribery scheme, with a number rallying for his impeachment.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released the FD-1023 form earlier in the day which detailed how Biden, along with his son, Hunter Biden, allegedly "coerced" Burisma CEO Mykola Zlochevsky to pay them millions of dollars in exchange for their help in getting the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating the company fired.
"Most corrupt family to ever live in the White House! Impeach!" Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., wrote on Twitter, while Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., wrote, "Read and understand just how deep the corruption goes. Biden should be thrown out of office. Impeach!"
Former Arizona gubernatorial candidate and conservative firebrand Kari Lake suggested the president was guilty of "extortion" and "treason" in addition to bribery, and claimed former President Donald Trump was impeached for Biden's "crimes."
"Is this why Biden has America involved in the war in Ukraine??? Joe Biden is a criminal and is compromised! And he is leading us into WW3 [because Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy has proof of more Biden crimes," Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., tweeted. "Republicans can no longer delay, but we need 218 Republican votes to do it. I’ve been there since day one and so are the American people. IMPEACH BIDEN!!!"
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., also called for Biden's impeachment prior to the release of the document, writing that he "NEEDS to be impeached" because of the "evidence and testimony" she had seen as a member of the House Oversight Committee investigating the Biden family finances. "He is compromised and his son is selling access to him," she added.
"This is damning evidence that Biden is compromised. Remember when Democrats and their pals in the media went as far as to question whether this document even exists?" Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Texas, tweeted, while Rep. Andy Barr, R-Ky., declared, "The Biden family corruption saga continues."
Rep. Lisa McClain, R-Mich., vowed the House Oversight Committee would hold Biden accountable, while Rep. Jason Smith, R-Mo., told Fox News, "It causes some great concerns that our president could be compromised to a foreign government."
COMMENT: Seems to me an impeachment would be a distraction from the 2024 election campaign, and could even backfire. The impeachment of Biden by the House means nothing if he isn't convicted by the Senate, which has never happened to a president. The Republicans don't have the Senate votes to do it. And the result of removing Biden is too horrible to contemplate – President Kamala Harris. I can just hear her giggling during the oath of office.
The Republicans should focus on winning everywhere next year – the presidency, the House and the Senate. Biden's corruption is effective ammunition, and even some liberal news outlets are starting to notice. If Trump should ultimately drop out of the race – and I think that's a distinct possibility if his own legal problems start to drag him down – then Biden would stand alone as the king of the Washington operators.
