House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announces formal impeachment inquiry against President Biden

McCarthy listed allegations of 'abuse of power, obstruction and corruption' by House panels

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday said House Republicans have "uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden's conduct" that will serve as the basis of an impeachment inquiry.

"Today, I am directing our House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe," McCarthy announced in a statement at the Capitol Tuesday. "This logical next step will give our committees the full power to gather all the facts and answers for the American public."

The speaker said House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., will lead the inquiry in coordination with House Oversight Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Ways & Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo.

McCarthy spoke for only roughly three minutes and did not take questions from reporters. He made no mention of holding a floor vote before opening the impeachment inquiry, despite telling Breitbart earlier this month it would happen "through a vote on the floor of the People’s House and not through a declaration by one person."

He listed allegations of "abuse of power, obstruction and corruption" made against Biden by several GOP-led committees who have been investigating the president.

"Through our investigations, we have found that President Biden did lie to the American people about his own knowledge of his family's foreign business dealings. Eyewitnesses have testified that the president joined on multiple phone calls and had multiple interactions, dinners resulted in cars and millions of dollars into his sons and his son's business partners," McCarthy said.

"We know that bank records show that nearly $20 million in payments were directed to the Biden family members and associates through various Shell companies. The Treasury Department alone has more than 150 transactions involving the Biden family. Another business associates that were flagged as suspicious activity by U.S. banks. Even a trusted FBI informant has alleged a bribe to the Biden family. Biden used his official office to coordinate with Hunter Biden's business partners about Hunter's role in Burisma, the Ukrainian energy company," he continued.

He concluded, "Finally, despite these serious allegations, it appears that the president's family has been offered special treatment by Biden's own administration. Treatment that not otherwise would have received if they were not related to the president," McCarthy said. "These are allegations of abuse of power, obstruction and corruption, and they want further investigation by the House of Representatives."

Earlier, Fox News confirmed that McCarthy will tell House Republicans today that beginning an impeachment inquiry against Biden is the "logical next step" for their investigations. An inquiry is the first step of the impeachment process, where evidence is gathered for the articles, or charges, of impeachment against an official.

The House GOP conference plans to hold a meeting on Thursday morning for key committee chairs to lay out their latest findings and the status of the investigations into the Biden family. The chairs of the committees overseeing the inquiry will brief rank-and-file lawmakers.

In a statement responding to McCarthy's announcement, White House spokesman for oversight and investigations Ian Sams blasted the effort as politically motivated.

"House Republicans have been investigating the President for 9 months, and they've turned up no evidence of wrongdoing. His own GOP members have said so. He vowed to hold a vote to open impeachment, now he flip flopped because he doesn't have support. Extreme politics at its worst," Sams wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Sources first told Fox News Digital in August that McCarthy planned to open an impeachment inquiry this month. There had been debate at the time over whether to first hold a floor vote in a show of GOP unity.

A House vote is not necessary to open an impeachment inquiry, but McCarthy had criticized former Speaker Nancy Pelosi for launching one into former President Donald Trump before formalizing it on the chamber floor.

just talk / show

BINGO! Nothing will happen

Thinking of cooking some chicken alfredo for dinner tonight.

Instead of using fettuccine, try Orzo. You won't be disappointed.

Make sure you add enough soy.

Worth a try next time I go to the store.

American politics are the biggest circus

Omh, this is huge. When is the last time a president was ever impeached?

Oh, is that your favorite ingredient? I'll pass, don't want to end up with a vag like you.

Can't wait for the Republicans to investigate themselves forWEAPONIZATION OF THE US GOVERNMENT.


This party is a complete fuking joke letting idiots like MTG hijack them.

If they've got real evidence, fine. So far they haven't produced any. We keep hearing tales about smoking-gun tapes and witnesses, but for some reason they never seem to materialize.


This can backfire on the GOP by mobilizing Dems

So when do the Republicans Weaponizing the Government vote on starting this inquiry?

Zero point to impeachment now.

Gonna admit you and your party are complete hypocrites? I mean you're literally doing what you all whined about for years. Hell your party even formed a committee to get to the bottom of this government weaponization. So weird it turns out Trump Republicans and their MAGA base are the real weaponizers..

It’s pretty amazing. Instead of saying to yourself “are we that obviously hypnotics” you invent a conspiracy theory about marching orders. I came in to post exactly what NYPat did - why? Because it’s damned obvious. The fact you think I’m being told to say these things say a lot more about you than it does me or pat or anyone else who can see a blatant double standard.

That's what I thought.




He's just coping. It's all they have.

Wow, its damned obvious? Was it that obvious when they're going after Trump or nah?

Impeach Obama who is probably calling the shots in the background

If you’re going to make blanket statements without addressing the evidence than it’s either right or it’s wrong.

[QUOTE=dabbmw2002 post_id=1689930973][img]https://i.imgflip.com/7yvugn.jpg[img][/QUOTE]Again, spam memes and cope because you can't actually defend this.

Great move. That should address the inflation issue in this country....

McCarthy was dragging his feet with it though. They had the evidence needed, but he kept saying "we need to do this right".

No, he's a coward.

Mayorkas and Garland still haven't been impeached either. The evidence is overflowing at this point.

The crimes of these three would justify hanging, but yet, they are afraid to even remove them from office. I think they know Biden wont get re-elected, so they think they can take the easy road and avoid making difficult decisions.

how long is this going to take? is there still hope for an election where both Biden and Trump are DQ'd?

McCarthy recommended impeachment inquiry. He did not open a vote for it. He knows he doesn't have the votes. Several Repubs have suggested they wouldn't vote yes

Complete cuck. Nancy would never do this unless she had the votes.

LOL, I remember this tactic.

Taco Tuesday for me tonight.
