One of the many problems with Kevin McCarthy as Speaker was that he was not committed to the impeachment of Joe Biden. That is not a problem for Mike Johnson, who announced the investigation of Joe Biden is back on with a goal of impeaching Biden. Don’t expect anything too soon as I am sure Republicans would prefer that the impeachment is closer to the 2024 election. Not only for Biden, but for Senators who exonerate him despite overwhelming evidence of corruption.
Hannity began:
“Joe Biden swore to the American people—both as a candidate and as president, not one time did he ever speak to his son, his brother, or anybody for that matter, about their foreign business dealings. We know that was a flat-out lie. We’ve learned from James Comer and his investigation that we’re talking about tens of millions of dollars taken in from a lot of adversarial countries, some of our top geopolitical foes—like China, Russia—Ukraine, Romania, Mexico, other countries. Tens of millions. They’ve discovered all of these shell corporations. They’ve discovered nine particular Biden family members have been paid. And then you have the issue of Joe on tape admitting that he used our money, taxpayer money, to leverage a billion dollars in loan guarantees—which was Obama administration policy—to fire a prosecutor investigating his son. Well, one of the benefits of that: his son continued to get paid for a job he admits he had no experience in at a time where he was dealing with a drug problem. What’s that sound like to you?”
Johnson stated:
“That’s the reason that we shifted into the impeachment inquiry stage on the president himself because if, in fact, all the evidence leads to where we believe it will, that’s very likely impeachable offenses. That’s listed as a cause for impeachment in the Constitution — bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors. Bribery is listed there, and it looks and smells a lot like that… We’re going to follow the truth where it leads, we’re going to engage in due process because, again, we’re the rule of law party.”
“I know people are getting anxious and they’re getting restless and they just want somebody to be impeached. But that’s not — we don’t do that like the other team. We have to base it upon the evidence, and the evidence is coming together. We’ll see where it leads.”

Johnson, R-La., was elected speaker of the House of Representatives this week. Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., launched the impeachment inquiry against Biden in September.
“We are the rule of law team, and so we have to respect and regard due process and do this in a way that the founders would have intended,” he said. “Impeachment is an awesome power that Congress has, and it is not intended to be, nor should it be, used as a political tool to be wielded lightly.”
Johnson added, “We take this very seriously.”
The speaker said House Republicans will continue investigating, “collecting evidence and following the truth and that evidence wherever it leads.”
“We’ve not predetermined the outcome of this. We’ve not pre-judged it,” he said. “But I think everyone can see how it is unfolding,” he added.
