Another potential impeachment coming in America

[Bingoman]

The U.S house of representatives has formalised impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden?

Can this past the Senate too and what would happen if Biden is impeached?

US House votes to authorise Biden impeachment inquiry

Republicans have yet to produce evidence of wrongdoing but are seeking more powers for the investigation.

Presumably the same as what happened when Trump was impeached; nothing.

 

[Pickman's model]

Yes it can pass the senate but probably won't

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

It's a bit tricky because they have got nothing. . . . but they don't care, all they really want is to say that Biden is also being impeached to use as political ammo for when trump is on one of his rants.

I'm not sure how it will work because they don't really have anything to hang an investigation on. They are pretty much impeaching him to start an investigation into what they can impeach him for.

The Hunter car loan stuff is all accounted for. Hunter has also said he will happily answer questions in a public inquiry (so that nothing he says can be twisted or lied about later) but the republicans say no, they will only investigate in private behind closed doors. . . which is just really weird and has been a quite difficult spin. I think they are currently saying they don't want to do it in public because Hunter "Just want's the spotlight" and "wants to look good".

This is the problem with blatantly political prosecutions--two can play at that game. The Democrats should have thought of that before levelling their ridiculous charges against Trump. Biden will receive scant sympathy now.

Hunter Biden's penis might never be able to hold public office again

impeachment with no evidence but a laptop full of pictures of his son's dick

should be interesting

That's what they said about Trump.

they released the footage then the speaker off the house had to blur faces as 2 many republican voter were getting identified

must of all be FbI or antifa is that not the case Phil . you bullshit peddler

 

[phildwyer]

You think that the speaker of the house blurred the faces of the rioters because too many of them were Republican voters?

 

[moochedit]

Yes it can pass the senate but probably won't

IIrc it needs a two thirds vote of the senate to pass so almost no chance.

That's the line you draw on conspiratorial thinking??

yeh can't see it happening

hmm anyone remember the attempts to impeach Obama for gender neutral bathrooms or for not being born in the states


damn petty democrats

 

[skyscraper101]

It'll come to nothing. And even it it came to something, it'll come to nothing. See also Trump, Clinton.

Indeed, the claims were not baseless or without merit. Even 10 republicans voted for it.
In trumps second impeachment case there were several clear accusations.. They have nothing on Biden, nothing linking him to anything at all. They don't even know exactly what they want to link him to. They just want to investigate in general and hope they find something. . . which is a really weird way to hold a criminal investigation. To compare and equate the two proposed impeachments is blatantly idiotic.

 

[Yossarian]

I doubt anything will come from this apart from House Republicans looking like even bigger clowns than they already are, though maybe the impeachment inquiry's not such a bad thing if it sets the precedent that presidents can expect to have their business dealings and those of their family members put under the microscope when they take office

 

[krtek a houby]

I don't know who they were.

You haven't seen the footage, or the banners, flags, or heard the chants?

Hmmm.

Two facts are undisputed: (a) Groups like the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers were heavily involved, and (b) Both groups were led by FBI informants.

In Proud Boys Jan. 6 Sedition Trial, F.B.I. Informants Abound (Published 2023)

The most recent informant to emerge from the trial is a Texas-based activist who became uncommonly close to some of the defendants, their lawyers and relatives.

Informant Likely to Testify as Defense Witness in Oath Keepers Sedition Trial (Published 2022)

A man who served as No. 2 to Stewart Rhodes, the group’s leader, is said to have secretly reported to the F.B.I. in the months leading up to the Jan. 6 attack.

Of course. It's the feds what done it.

Having not really read much of what he'd posted, I'd never really understood the derision phildwyer attracted. Unfortunately, in the space of a day it's all become clear. Mental.

of course every racist group that appear to be tying itself to trump banner was really a deep state plot to take down your glorious leader

or maybe FBI infiltrating domestic terrorist organisations is part of their fucking job description

They're doing more than infiltrate such organizations, they're leading them:

The Proud Boys’ Conviction Is Big News. Their Role as FBI Informants, Not So Much.

Almost none of the reports about Thursday’s conviction of four Proud Boys members mentioned the fact that the far-right group was riddled with FBI informants. But this kind of law enforcement collusion with the far right is a profound threat to democracy.
