Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) warned Tuesday that the House could launch an impeachment inquiry as soon as September if the Biden administration doesn’t turn over documents — including some that were apparently never requested by the GOP.

Asked by Larry Kudlow if he has made up his mind on beginning an impeachment inquiry, McCarthy said the House will begin one if the Bidens do not provide Congress with documents lawmakers are seeking.

 

The comments were McCarthy’s clearest signal yet that such an investigation could be on the horizon in the lower chamber.

But the Speaker was largely vague on what documents were at issue — even as Republicans say they are gathering evidence that Biden and his son accepted a bribe from Ukrainian officials. It’s a charge the White House has strongly denied. 

“The thing that holds up whether we do impeachment inquiry, provide us the documents we’re asking,” McCarthy said. “The whole determination here is how the Bidens handled this.”

“If they provide us the documents, there wouldn’t be a need for impeachment inquiry. But if they withhold the documents and fight like they have now to not provide to the American public what they deserve to know, we will move forward with impeachment inquiry when we come back into session,” he added.

McCarthy at one point added they were seeking bank statements and credit card statements, though did not specify for whom.

 

FULL STORY

 

crucial biden is impeached asap. I can't get my head around the fact that the left impeached Trump for what they absolutely guaranteed were false claims regarding the bidens taking money they could not account for from despots in the Ukraine. So sure were the left that the claims were false and that the bidens did not take any dodgy overseas money that the left actually banned Americans from discussing these devastating facts online. We all know how that ended....

 

So impeach biden and expunge the nonsensical impeachment where Trump was proven right and the left lied to nail him. 

McCarty and Republicans in the house could do a lot of things.

 

If they got off their ‘distraction bus’ they could do something positive for America.

 

 

 

He is bluffing and it is clearly blustery. Proof is on the horizon.  

Go ahead.

See what it does for that weakling. 

Or another all hat no cattle trumpublican.

How must it feel to be a cuck to the likes of extremist lunatic Marjorie Taylor Greene?

This impeachment inquiry has nothing to do with Biden's legislation.

Agreed, same old.

McCarthy has to do as he is told by the lunatics on the GOP, they changed the rules to allow a single objection vote to initiate a vote to remove the speaker.

 

He’s being jerked around and can’t do anything to avoid it.

 

A mess if the GOP’s own making.

Why don't you ever look at what I'm commenting on?

 

What you are commenting on is really about Biden spending is way to never-ending inflation.

Inflation in the US is far lower than any European nation and the trend is down.

Right. Lowest inflation and highest growth among G7 countries

"But the Speaker was largely vague on what documents were at issue..."

 

That says it all.

You really do mish-mash the Fox NOT-news talking lies into a putrid bologna pie. Bidens share DNA, but their acts have been proven not to overlap. Did you get that? I'll repeat it - their acts have been proven not to overlap. Separate lives, separate businesses. To misquote Shakespeare: "The sins of the son are NOT to be laid upon the father."

 

I personally really don't care for Joe. Too long in the tooth, he was supposed to be a one-term sure fire deal to beat the traffic cone of treason (BEFORE 45's transgressions). I really think it's time for Joe to pass the torch. There were too many very plausible potentials, but it's too late for that now.

 

Despite my shared concerns about Joe, he has done NOTHING to warrant impeachment. This ridiculous proposal from McCarthy is merely that gutless wimp having to kiss whatever butt is shoved in his face in order to hold on to his precarious perch. Just a case of sour grapes.

It's pointless quoting facts to any of the MAGA nuts/trumpies because if these facts in any way prove that the economy, or anything else for that matter, is going well under Biden, then they will just dismiss it out of hand.

 

They are in a right mess, they have got some very strange (MTG, SP, amongst others) folk in the party, and God help America if they or their lard-arse leader manage to get back into power.

But let's see all these snakes squirm away from that microphone when the house hearings begin to look into all the $$$ Miss Priss Ivanka and Pale-Face husband Jarrod made while working "for" the government.

"Annual inflation rate in the US accelerated to 3.2% in July 2023 from 3% in June, but below forecasts of 3.3%. It marks a halt in the 12 consecutive months of declines, due to base effects. A year earlier, inflation had started to fall from its peak of 9.1%." Et cetera. 

 

Hardly devastating to the economy and quite nominal if not an aberration to recent history post POTUS Trump. Compared to Trump's first 30 months of term 5.24 million jobs created, Biden's was 13.7 million.

 

Closer to home (Thailand) the predicted inflation rate is 2.5% in 2023 and 2.4% in 2024. Not yet a developed country where the government controls cost of energy,  consumer prices and maintains low minimum wages. With US projecting a 2023 GDP of about $27 trillion vs Thailand of about $511 billion and US population of about 340 million vs Thailand of about 72 million, the US economy is doing quite well under Biden.
