Since Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced articles of impeachment in May, support for impeaching President Joe Biden has consistently increased. The investigation into the international business dealings of the Biden family has uncovered multiple pieces of evidence supporting the impeachment.
The charges against Hunter Biden and the collapse of his plea agreement provide additional support for this action. As more whistleblowers come forward, those who previously opposed or questioned impeachment are now in favor of the action.
According to Conservative Brief, on Tuesday, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) cited the accounts of two Internal Revenue Service (IRS) whistleblowers and stated that launching an impeachment investigation would assist Republicans in obtaining crucial documents that reveal potential misconduct by law enforcement officials favoring Hunter Biden.
New York Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik also supported this posture, which aligns with the approach Democrats adopted in 2019 during the first impeachment of former President Donald Trump.
“I strongly support the speaker. We’re producing more evidence every day that shows this president has broken many laws, his family has broken many laws, and they won’t respond to simple questions like, ‘What did your family do to receive the millions of dollars from our enemies around the world?’ So I think that’s something I would support,” noted Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), adding that Hunter Biden’s collapsed plea agreement would not alter or affect his committee’s ongoing investigations.
Republicans in the House who have been advocating for impeachment are reiterating their previous demands, viewing the leadership’s message as confirmation. Earlier, the Daily Caller reported that the House voted strictly along party lines to submit an impeachment resolution proposed by Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert to the Homeland Security and Judiciary committees.
Greene told the Daily Caller: “The President is on record of lying. He said that he had known nothing about his son’s business deals. He knows nothing about any of this stuff, but it is now proven that he has lied to the American people that cannot be ignored, and we can’t sweep it under the rug.
“So the responsibility literally lies with the Republican conference to take up an impeachment inquiry. And I think that’s the right thing to do. I’m very happy,” she noted further.
“I’ve been calling for impeaching Joe Biden since Sen. Grassley released the FD-1023 suggesting that Joe Biden abused his power to enrich his family and assist foreign nationals. If Republicans substantiate these allegations, Joe Biden must be removed from office immediately,” Indiana Rep. Jim Banks told the outlet.
Time Magazine acknowledges that the recent IRS whistleblowers regarding Hunter Biden’s plea deal and the news of a Democratic donor who purchased an expensive painting from the younger Biden and then received a “cushy posting” from the President are responsible for the increase in impeachment support among formerly reticent Republicans.
The testimony of Devon Archer on Monday, which corroborated claims that Joe Biden was involved in his son’s business dealings, continues to be a factor.
A senior White House staffer familiar with the situation told Time, “The evidence and stuff that’s come out is what’s causing him to change his tune.”
Despite the fact that Democrats attempted to impeach then-President Donald Trump with little or no evidence at the end of his first term, some Republicans are not currently on board with the impeachment initiative against Joe Biden, emphasizing the significance of ongoing investigations.
Conservative Brief noted that after the August recess, Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who purportedly helped negotiate Hunter Biden’s favorable plea agreement, will testify before the House Judiciary Committee regarding the Hunter Biden criminal investigation.
“The American people elected this Republican majority in part on a promise that we would provide oversight of the Biden administration, and we are doing just that from Secretary Mayorkas to Director Wray and the Biden family’s corrupt business dealings. The investigations our committees are conducting will provide the American people with the transparency they deserve,” Whip Tom Emmer, the third-ranking House Republican, told The DC.
“It’s a major response to what we see going on here. It’s not out of line at least to inquire as to the depth of what’s going on here. That doesn’t mean you necessarily just run out and do impeachment. I think impeachment’s been abused the last few years, and so it’s not something to be taken lightly,” California Rep. Doug LaMalfa told the outlet
But conservative Republicans feel the time is now. Republican Corey Mills of Florida told Time, ” he’s the most corrupt President in our nation’s history. It’s absolutely warranted”.
On Saturday, former President Trump declared at a Pennsylvania rally, “Any Republican that doesn’t act on Democratic fraud should be immediately primaried and get out.”
