Republicans in the House are moving towards what many expect will become an impeachment inquiry targeting President Joe Biden, though the emergence of such is not a sure thing, considering the slim nature of the Republican majority currently present in that legislative chamber and the individual GOP members who have expressed concerns about moving forward with the idea of impeachment.
Still, MAGA is proceeding apace. (Some of the most prominent voices in favor of impeaching the president include GOP Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Lauren Boebert of Colorado — also among Trump’s most passionate defenders.) A new report from The Messenger suggests, based on discussions with insiders, that Republicans will focus on allegations of financial misconduct in their expected push for impeachment. Boebert directly accused the president of involvement in bribery, but there’s just no real-world evidence to back up that idea.
Republicans have not shown an actual, financial link between the president and infamous business dealings involving his son, Hunter Biden, and Republicans have also not documented a precise connection between any policy action that the older Biden has pursued and the business or even personal interests of his son or family members. What they’re examining revolves around Biden having pushed while vice president for the removal of a particular prosecutor in Ukraine.
“It’s stupid. It’s completely made up. They don’t have anything,” Susan Del Percio, a Republican political professional who even served in the mayoral administration in New York City of Rudy Giuliani, said to The Messenger. “This is not about impeachment for cause. This is a political stunt. And I have a feeling it’s going to go very badly for Republicans.”
Republicans are very insistent, though. Greene has hinged any support from her for the funding necessary to keep the federal government operational on approving an impeachment inquiry targeting the president. The focus on unproven bribery would be a departure from the proposed articles of impeachment already introduced by Boebert, who focused in her initiative on false claims about supposed mishandling by the Biden administration of the southern border. She even alleged in the proposal that foreign criminal organizations had taken operational control at the southern border of the United States — a completely, utterly false statement.
