House Speaker Mike Johnson said Saturday he believes Republicans have the votes to launch a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.
“I believe we will,” Johnson told Fox News of a GOP-led impeachment inquiry. “I suspect no Democrats will assist in this effort, but they should.”
Johnson added Republicans “have a duty to do this” and “we cannot stop the process.”
Republican leadership and key GOP committee chairs on Friday made the case for why they believe an inquiry vote is necessary, arguing it would strengthen their legal standing in court and accusing the White House of “stonewalling” their probe into the president and his son’s foreign business dealings – a claim the White House has forcefully rebutted.
Johnson, appearing alongside House GOP conference chair Elise Stefanik, claimed the inquiry wouldn’t be used as a partisan political tool.
I see they still dont have a single accusation for Joe. Hunter is not an elected official.
But what about ummm… Hunter’s dick?
Hunter’s hog is a matter of congressional record.
He’s not an elected official, but it’s an erected official
Even has it’s own portrait. Well… statue.
All the votes and none of the evidence
Mike ‘lying for the lord’ Johnson
Why govern when we can do performance art! Yeah!
Same dude who voted against expelling Santos and fucked up his own intended funding delays. His track record is pristine so far.

Good to see Republicans are working on the important things this country really need first…
Johnson -
How has the White House been stonewalling anything? They’ve been staying out of it entirely, as has the DOJ seemingly. It’s just that y’all conservatives have been failing at proving anything whatsoever about Hunter and have just been making yourselves look like idiots.
Because voting genuinely matters.
They tried to make it not matter but it really really matters. Dems need the voters
GOP probably: Biden is stonewalling by not resigning and relinquishing the White House to Trump.
I bet his son is actively trying not to look at his porn app right now, the stress is probably getting to Johnson.
He might have the votes, but is completely out of evidence…
Yet another Benghazi sequel, to establish false equivalency in the minds of low-information voters.
I guess they are kind of comparable. I would argue most people could care less about Hunter Biden though. But I’m sure neolibs will blame it on that instead of Biden actually being unpopular though.
I don’t think the average person cared much about the Libyan embassy either. It was just another talking point for the ignorant.
The Embassy no, but dead Americans… Yes…
Far more than Hunter Biden cocaine fueled antics.
Lmao, you people care so much about your neighbours that you aren’t even able to ask your Congress to pass sensible laws regulating the distribution of firearms among the civilian population.
As an older meme used to say “bitch, please”
“You people” lmao.
Would you have preferred my favourite term “you mogrel gun-loving crackheads”? Because I can totally use it if you like
After seeing our response to covid, i refuse to agree that “dead Americans” matter one iota to the average American
This ^
He may or may not have the votes, but he certainly doesn’t have the evidence. However, that no longer seems relevant for Republicans.
They believe in the rule of law, just like they believe in Jesus. More of a mascot than a coach.
They see impeachment count as a political issue ever since Trump was rightfully impeached twice. Now they can’t be the only party with a president impeached so many times.

Required? None.
Should be required? Some.
“Elise and I both served on the impeachment defense team of Donald Trump twice, when the Democrats used it for brazen partisan political purposes. We decried that use of it. This is very different,” Johnson said.
Oh ffs.
To be fair, it is very different. Trump committed some actual crimes. Serious crimes.
Republicans looked the other way, and for good measure plugged their ears while screaming nonsense like a bunch of toddlers who didn’t want to hear that it was time for bed.
Won’t happen.
