As more damning evidence emerges implicating Joe Biden in an alleged $10 million international bribery scheme, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has started floating the idea of impeaching the sitting president.
During his Monday appearance on Fox News, the California Republican said Biden has “used the weaponization of government to benefit his family and deny Congress the ability to have the oversight” and added that an impeachment inquiry would provide “Congress the strongest power to get the rest of the knowledge and information needed.” McCarthy reiterated similar sentiments on Tuesday, telling reporters an impeachment inquiry is “the only way” Congress can “get to the bottom of the truth.”
The predicate for impeaching Biden is certainly warranted. Not only does the FD-1023 form containing claims from a “highly credible” confidential human source (CHS) show how the then-vice president was instrumental in the firing of a Ukrainian prosecutor investigating the energy company (Burisma Holdings) his son was a board member of; it also shows how the Bidens were purportedly paid $10 million for Joe’s role in the firing of said prosecutor.
Coupled with corroboration from IRS and FBI whistleblowers, former Biden family business partners, and even Joe and Hunter Biden, the scheme represents perhaps the biggest scandal involving a U.S. president in American history.
