Biden Team Isn’t Waiting for Impeachment to Go on the Offensive

[Social Media]

 

WASHINGTON — Just before 8 p.m. Thursday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene posted a video of herself at a town hall in her Georgia district declaring that she “will not vote to fund the government” unless the House holds a vote to open an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden.

It took just 68 minutes for the White House to fire back with a blistering statement that such a vote would mean that House Republicans had “caved to the hard-core fringe of their party in prioritizing a baseless impeachment stunt over high-stakes needs Americans care about deeply” like drug enforcement and disaster relief.

The White House, as it turns out, is not waiting for a formal inquiry to wage war against impeachment. With a team of two dozen lawyers, legislative liaisons, communications specialists and others, the president has begun moving to counter any effort to charge him with high crimes and misdemeanors with a best-defense-is-a-good-offense campaign aimed at dividing Republicans and taking his case to the public.

The president’s team has been mapping out messaging, legal and parliamentary strategies for different scenarios. Officials have been reading books about past impeachments, studying law journal articles and pulling up old court decisions. They have even dug out correspondence between previous presidential advisers and congressional investigators to determine what standards and precedents have been established.

At the same time, recognizing that any impeachment fight would be a political showdown heading into an election season, outside allies have been going after Republicans like Greene and Speaker Kevin McCarthy. A group called the Congressional Integrity Project has been collecting polling data, blitzing out statements, fact sheets and memos and producing ads targeting 18 House Republicans representing districts that voted for Biden in 2020.

Good don’t put up with it!time to call them out tell them to put up or shut up!

Seems they don't like it when the boot is on the other foot. That's the trouble when you go around bullying the opposition, sometimes they fight back.

 

Given the family's history with illegal activities I am sure they have plenty of contacts in terms of lawyers, and plenty of "friends" in the judiciary.

In the case of mr trump there’s evidence lots and lots of it in your face on tape on video and directly from the perps mouth.In the case of president Biden it’s all accusations with no proof another words slander

+1.   For the past few years, conspiracy wingnuts seem to be getting it right a lot more often than the so called fact checkers.  But the lefties keep confusing "debunked" with "squelched"

can you share with us the illegal activities "the family" in engaged in? We know that Hunter Biden may face prosecution, but who else in "the family" was engaged in "illegal activities"  and what exactly were those activities"? I look forward to your fact-based answers.

Hunter is indeed part of the Biden family. His activities were speeding his car while smoking crack cocaine, gun possession etc. I'm sure you are aware of his other activities.

 

Let me know if you have any other questions.

A very transparent attempt at deflection.  I certainly didn't deny that Hunter Biden is a member of the Biden family. But so what? 

 

What you wrote is that the Biden family was engaged in illegal activity. Hunter Biden is one person. He is not the Biden family. "Family" is a collective noun. What don't you understand about that? When any member of any family engages in illegal activity does that mean the family in engaged in illegal activity? 

 

As for your claim that the Biden family is engaged in criminal activity, it's clear you've got nothing.

Sounds to me more as a family (as in organized crime families) than just Hunter. Tell me if you want 10 more credible links, as I'm sure you will discredit this one

• Those who benefitted included Hunter Biden, Hallie Biden, Kathleen Buhle, Melissa Cohen Biden, James Biden and his wife Sarah
• Also includes  the grandchildren and nieces, nephews of Joe Biden
• There is one additional unknown bank account related to a Biden that received payments

Is getting that cash a crime? Do you understand what a crime is?

A family with 3 members who committed minor crimes related to drug and alcohol abuse. What does driving under the influence, credit card fraut, or petty theft of the 2 other Biden family members  have to do with the current situation?   I asked you what crimes are you accusing the Biden family of having committed and this is what you come up with?

You've got nothing.

 

And by the way, it was noted that there is 0 evidence that Biden ever interceded on behalf of any family members.

In your opinion, are these impeachable offenses?

[Isaan sailor]

Just put Hunter, The Big Guy and Trump in prison—same cell block.   And let’s start with a clean slate.

I said the family has a history of illegal activities. Then I provided links to said illegal activities when requested.

 

The fact that you and the other Biden fanatics don't deem it "illegal enough" or don't like the source that reported these facts is neither here nor there. My statement was factually correct. The truth hurts huh...

So, Biden is clean, but some relatives engaged in petty offenses.

 

Does that merit impeachment? 

 

what's your point?

 

Did you know that Hunter Biden collected $2 billion from the Saudis?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh wait, that was Jared Kushner.

LOL. They didn't have a problem prioritising a baseless impeachment stunt over high-stakes needs Americans care about deeply like drug enforcement and disaster relief when it came to Trump, and they did that twice.

We'll wait and see how long Joe can claim to be clean. The Biden's have a history of keeping their dirty laundry hidden for several years, especially when an election is looming e.g. the laptop.

 

They have been relatively successful in keeping Joe's behaviour hidden so far. I mean the lies, the sniffing of children, the grand-daughter he won't acknowledge has come out but on the whole they have done a pretty good job. But the truth will come out in the end, it always does. Will be interesting to see the reaction of certain fanboys on the forum when it does.

So you're admitting you have nothing.

Au contraire.

 

I am saying the worst is yet to come. The clock is ticking for Joe and he knows it. The only question is whether the hole his team has dug is deep enough for the evidence to stay hidden until after the election.

 

As a neutral observer, I will be watching with interest.
