House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) explained on Sunday why it was important for the House to vote on formalizing an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.
Just three days later, and after Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy flip-flopped on his vow to hold a vote before launching the probe, Jordan, one of the three co-chairs of the impeachment inquiry, pulled his own 180 by telling Fox & Friends, “We don’t need that to move forward” because McCarthy’s pronouncement “gives added weight to it.”
Despite having no concrete evidence to support Republican allegations that the president was involved in any wrongdoing as it relates to his family’s business dealings, McCarthy capitulated to MAGA hardliners on Tuesday and announced he was unilaterally opening an impeachment inquiry.
If they actually do it, they’d have to present evidence, and they don’t have any.
It’s a lose/lose situation for the party. But the hardcore trumpets get points demanding it, so they’re gonna keep demanding it.
I don’t think they need evidence. They just want the headlines so they can point to them later on. They did the same thing with Hillary Clinton. Decades of poisoning the well so that when she ran for President they would rerun the greatest hits. Millions spent on investigating benghazi and it turned out they had asked for more money for security and the Repubs voted it down.
And that’s exactly why Trump got impeached the first time: he wanted an investigation to point to from the Ukrainian government and knew it wouldn’t matter to Republicans if it had merit or not.
I mean, Hillary was a terrible choice, though… I voted for her to oppose Donald Trump, but I only did that out of fear he might win. I was right to vote, but I hated doing it.
To be fair, I also hated voting for Joe Biden… But I hated that vote for Hillary more. God, we really do have shit democratic candidates… No wonder the country is suffering.
Seems like the longer your service, the more you owe favors to everyone and the more money you get for those favors. I can’t remember the exact figures, but MTG from Georgia went from in debt to a millionaire in 2 years or whatever. Annual salary is 174k
Anybody that wants to get shit done usually makes deals with the devil and Hillary was corporate as fuck. If your donors don’t want anything passed that might affect their money, they get paid to stall, cry communism, and vote against everything.
