In December 2023, U.S. House Republicans unanimously escalated their impeachment inquiries against President Joe Biden, seeking specifically to link the president to his son Hunter’s foreign business engagements. That effort died a slow death over the subsequent months, as no compelling evidence turned up and some Republicans began to walk away. With the next election now just months away and President Biden announcing he’ll no longer be running, the story of House Republicans’ impeachment efforts fell out of the news cycle.

Watch the above video as Straight Arrow News contributor Ben Weingarten argues that House Republicans should remain committed to an impeachment inquiry against President Biden until the very end.

The following is an excerpt from the above video:

Additionally, the House need not show that the president directly ordered his subordinates to obstruct an investigation. In certain circumstances, the president may be impeached for the actions of subordinate officials they add.

What’s more, the impeachment investigators allege that the Biden-Harris DOJ and White House obstructed the House investigation through hiding key documents and witnesses. All told, the committees allege that Joe Biden abused power, engaged in foreign entanglements, corruption and obstruction of investigations into these matters, rising to the level of impeachable conduct. It is unclear that he will face anything more than a report that stands as an afterthought, with President Biden being rendered a sort of president in name only, sitting in political purgatory for five months while the world burns and unceremoniously tossed aside by his party with the Congress unwilling to hold him to account.

Though overshadowed by the 2024 election and the DNC the House Oversight judiciary and Ways and Means committees produced a report on the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden that’s still running. Their findings merit deep consideration, and in a just world, they would lead not only to the president’s impeachment, but removal as a starting point of punishment for having sold out our country to adversaries that would serve as a deterrent to other office seekers or holders who would seek to do the same. According to the house probe, the President engaged in a conspiracy to monetize his office of public trust to enrich his family, leading his family to rake in 10s of millions of dollars from enemies and corruptocrats based on their belief the Bidens would provide influence and access to the patriarch, who often appeared in person or via phone with his family’s foreign business partners as the closer essentially President Biden, met her, spoke with nearly every one of the Biden family’s foreign business associates, the report says, including those from Ukraine, China, Russia and Kazakhstan the transactions involved were structured in such a way as to conceal the conspiracy. Hunter Biden and his business associates leveraged Vice President Biden’s official position to garner favorable outcomes in foreign business dealings and legal proceedings. Several witnesses testified that Hunter Biden invoked his father in business dealings with Romanian, Chinese kazakhstanian, Ukrainian companies, resulting in millions of dollars flowing to the Biden family. The report details, as the House Republicans add, their Democrat colleagues, set the precedent during Trump impeachment, one that abuse of Office defined as the exercise of official power to obtain an improper personal benefit while ignoring or injuring the national interest is an impeachable offense. The report also notes that their investigation corroborates the findings of the IRS whistleblowers covered extensively here at straight iron news, showing the DOJ obstructing and tanking the investigation into the Biden’s international influence peddling scheme, the special treatment afforded Hunter Biden, the impeachment investigators right, which only sees that the onset of congressional attention on the department’s investigation may be a basis for impeachment as the distortion of an official investigation was a basis in the perspective impeachment of President Nixon in 1974

 

the members right. Additionally, the house need not show that the President directly ordered his subordinates to obstruct an investigation.

And think about that, America’s representatives snapped to their feet to impeach a former president twice on incredibly dubious, novel grounds, including while he was already out of office, but would not impeach a President who sold out the country to our worst adversaries through his family’s international influence peddling activities and sought to cover it up. The deeper rotten corruption in our system than that of the Biden family might be the unwillingness for that system to recognize the corruption and punish it swiftly and severely, while punishing wrong thinkers, of course, to the hilt. Joe Biden will never face justice for his cronyism corruption, and his deceiving of the American people about it, while demagoguing his political foes, the only justice will have been in him, having been knifed by his own party and sidelined in the 2024 election never to be president again in.
