Because if every president is impeached then nothing is criminal anymore

Ian Sams said on X (formally known as Twitter) that House Republicans had not turned up any evidence of wrongdoing during the past nine months, and slammed McCarthy for not holding a vote to open the inquiry, as he had once pledged he would do.

He recently told Breitbart that any impeachment inquiry “would occur through a vote on the floor of the People’s House and not through a declaration by one person.”

Republicans hold a narrow majority in the House and he can only afford to lose four votes on a measure that is not expected to get any support from Democrats.

Buck said this weekend on MSNBC that while the House committees are surfacing information about Biden’s son Hunter, it is clear that impeachment cannot get through the Senate.

Several GOP moderates like Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., and Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., have said publicly they weren’t there yet and need to see additional evidence to back up a case for any articles of impeachment.

Trump weighed in recently on his social media platform with a message to House Republicans: “Either IMPEACH the BUM, or fade into OBLIVION.”

I don’t really like Joe Biden either, but these assholes don’t even have any evidence of wrongdoing…

Their fee-fees were hurt when Biden won the election. This is all about revenge for Trump.

I get that, but they can’t just impeach him for no reason and they have not as-of-yet proven that there was any crime or wrongdoing.

But that’s exactly what they’re trying to do. It is every bit as empty as the Clinton impeachment. Just like then, the Republicans KNOW this is for show and an impeachment won’t get any approval in the Senate. So they can just do a performance for the base.

Didn’t the Clinton impeachment start with looking into a money-losing land deal, then end up with an extramarital blowjob? I’m just saying they can make whatever flimsy excuse they can, then run with it through the election. Idiot magats will whatabout it on the same level as all trumps current court cases.

No wrongdoing? How about when he stole the election?!? He went and got more people to vote for him simply by not being an idiotic, self-absorbed, criminal. That’s a violation of the core ethos of the GOP. IMPEACH!

Impeached on what grounds? … Hunter Biden’s laptop… uh… the deep state… ? I don’t know.

I’m sure it will be for something totally legit and not insane at all.

It’s a crime family!!!
What crime was committed? No one knows, their imaginary whistleblowers always disappear.

We’re in a weird place where Republicans are openly trying to turn the country into an autocracy, and a large portion of the country supports them.
