Seven reasons why Biden impeachment inquiry has merit


All opinions expressed in this article are solely the opinions of the contributors.

According to a Harvard University CAPS/Harris poll, voters are evenly split 50-50 on whether the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden is justified or not. The responses exhibit a clear partisan divide, with roughly three-quarters of Republicans considering it legitimate, but the same percentage of Democrats regarding it as politically motivated.

Straight Arrow News contributor Ben Weingarten explores several points he believes justify the inquiry, delving into what he characterizes as “overwhelming” evidence against Biden that Democrats would rather ignore.

Last week, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy initiated an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden concerning his knowledge of, and involvement in, his family’s international influence peddling efforts, and the apparent efforts of the executive branch under his command to cover up and obstruct inquiries into related crimes, and refuse to prosecute them.

Despite laying out a clear rationale for heightening the congressional probes already underway by pointing to evidence of “corruption, obstruction, and abuse of power,” in the Speaker’s words, naturally, the Democrats’ communications arm — the corporate media — tried to gaslight us.

Parroting the White House — which sent out a memo directing the media to attack Republicans’ basis for the inquiry, if not the Republican investigators themselves — media stenographers roared there was “no evidence” to support the inquiry.

So I thought it would be helpful to lay out the basis for this inquiry in seven simple points based on government documents, sworn testimony, bank records, and other credible evidence.
