Joe Biden Impeachment Looks More Likely After Walmart Confrontations: Comer

[cigaretteman]

Representative James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, said on Sunday that an impeachment of President Joe Biden looks more likely after House Republicans heard from their constituents at Walmart over the Thanksgiving holiday.

The GOP has been investigating Biden over allegations that he intervened and benefited from his son Hunter Biden's business dealings with China and Ukraine while he was vice president under former President Barack Obama, including accusations of taking bribes. The allegations have been denied by the White House and Hunter Biden's lawyers, with Democrats criticizing the GOP's impeachment inquiries for failing to find any meaningful evidence against the president.

Once the impeachment inquiry is complete, the Judiciary Committee will decide on whether to draw up any draft impeachment articles against Biden to be voted on by the House. Comer has said that a vote could take place by early 2024.


While appearing on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo, Comer, a Kentucky Republican, was asked by Bartiromo if he feels like he has enough votes within the House for a formal impeachment inquiry against Biden.

Comer responded that moderate House Republicans are more willing to vote for a Biden impeachment inquiry now because they went home over Thanksgiving and heard from their constituents at Walmart.

"I do. I had a reporter ask, 'What's changed?' I tell you one thing that's changed. A great thing happened during Thanksgiving. The members went home, many of them for the first time, and circulated for the first time in over 10 weeks. And they met people in Walmart and people on Main Street. So they heard from their constituents. They were like, 'What in the world have the Bidens done to receive millions and millions of dollars from our enemies around the world and did they not pay taxes on it?' So they heard from their constituents, 'Yes we want you to move forward, we want to know the truth and expect the Bidens to be held accountable for public corruption,'" Comer said. "So I'm confident we're going to have the votes to move forward with this impeachment inquiry."

Newsweek has reached out to Comer and Biden via email for comment.

As part of the impeachment inquiry, Comer has subpoenaed several members of the president's family, including his brother James Biden and his son Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden has been directed to sit for a deposition on December 13, with the president's brother currently scheduled for December 6.


While speaking to Fox News last week, Comer said the Oversight panel has produced "many smoking guns" during the probe. However, several House members have come out and said they are not convinced by the evidence to persuade them to vote to impeach Biden over corruption allegations.

Comer is really trying hard to be the dumbest MF'er in Congress

 

[Scruddy]

The left is big mad that sleepy joe, credibly accused child molester, is likely to be impeached due to his obvious lies and involvement in his family business deals. You guys really know how to pick em.

 

[Scruddy]

Oh. Shocking..

 

[Scruddy]

This is actually quite the fascinating legal argument on yet more grounds for impeachment for Joe biden.

 

[Huey Grey]

So no new evidence? The Rs just talked to some people at Walmart who thought that impeachment was a good idea? We truly are living in the dumbest time.

 

[ICHawk-I]

How many of you actually believe that our Congressmen soiled themselves by going to a Walmart and talking to constituents over their 10 day break?

If you believe that, you probably believe that the election was stolen and that Trump isn't guilty.

Do you not read the article? They are more inclined to impeach now that they've talked to people at Walmart! Can't argue with that, impeachment on those grounds is imminent!

You are incorrect. This is an entirely newly revealed money transfer between hunter and his father. One of many. I can understand why one might assume this is the same as the last reveal of payments being made.

Why doesn't the article say that? Instead it implies that after visiting local Walmarts these congressmen were somehow given evidence that they didn't have before. Then again, that is if you believe any member of Congress has been to a Wallyworld recently.

 

[Obviously Oblivious]

To be fair, the average Walmart customer likely has a higher IQ and a better grasp on reality than your average House representative. Not by much though!

Well, it is in Article II of the Constitution

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors, especially if such impeachment shall be supported by a poll of citizens at the The Olde WalMart.

 

[artradley]

This has been the GOP MO for long before Trump, btw. Some rightwing politicians make crazy accusation, FOX and other nut job outlets repeat the nonsense 24x7, then the GOP politicians say, “Well, we have news reports about these awful things, and our constituents want us to look into it.”

I have to say, there's a certain irony to a case for impeachment based on business dealings with China being driven by conversations with people shopping for cheap Chinese shit at Walmart.

He's trying to bury the moderate policy making he has to do to accomplish anything by offering up wingnut red meat for the dipshit base he has to deal with. Johnson is a scary MF'er because he is not completely incompetent like McCarthy and could potentially get some of his bonkers ideas through Congress, well, at least the House.

He's got another budget deadline coming up and he has to find a way to do that without getting removed from the speakership. While the idiots are busy with this impeachment crap he'll be cutting a deal to get a budget passed.
