Romney didn't have the courage to buck the party back when sane leadership was needed. Of course he knew the corrupt GOP would go after him so he chickened out.

Ranking Member Raskin’s Statement on MAGA Republicans’ Illegitimate Impeachment Inquiry

Sep 12, 2023 Press Release

Washington, D.C. (September 12, 2023)—Today, Rep. Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, released the following statement on House Republicans’ illegitimate impeachment inquiry:

“The evidence shows no wrongdoing by President Biden, but the GOP is obviously forced to launch an impeachment inquiry regardless of the facts.

“Republican leaders are caving to Marjorie Taylor Greene and the MAGA Right, which is insisting on either a ridiculous government shutdown or a farcical impeachment exercise. What a choice they’re handing America.

SENATE
Senate GOP says House lacks evidence for impeachment

BY ALEXANDER BOLTON - 09/12/23 6:00 AM ET

Senate Republicans say the House GOP doesn’t appear to have enough evidence to pursue impeachment proceedings against President Biden and are skeptical about the prospect of setting up an inquiry with multiple committees already investigating the president and his son, Hunter Biden.

Republican senators are highly skeptical that Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) could even muster enough votes in the House to pass an article of impeachment and warn it would be quickly dismissed if it ever got to the Senate, possibly without going to a full trial.

A "funny" aspect of this sad affair is that Trump's lapdog, Bill Barr, instituted a binding Department of Justice policy that the DOJ has to treat congressional impeachment efforts as meaningless unless there is a full House vote authorizing an impeachment investigation. 🤣

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's impeachment trial in the Senate ends tomorrow I think.

Have you heard any news on the revelations from that trial documenting GOP ethics?

Via Andrew Weissmann:

This is a fascinating offensive move by Hunter Biden, may very well be undertaken to be shot across bow for those thinking of joining bandwagon in allegedly slandering him.

Joyce Vance:

#HunterBiden sues a former #Trump WH official who also worked for Peter #Navarro with allegations including illegal electronic access in connection with what's widely called HB's laptop but which this insinuates is illegally accessed iPhone storage data. #legal

According to a binding opinion issued by #tfg 's DOJ, impeachment inquiries are invalid unless the House votes to authorize them. That means the Biden administration can trash whatever subpoenas come from House #gqp. "Sorry, none of it counts! Come back when you've taken a vote, Kevin."
