GOP Senator Tells House Colleagues Their Charges Against Biden ‘May Not Be Impeachable’

A Republican senator is warning his colleagues in the House of Representatives who are moving ahead with an impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden that their flimsy charges “may not be impeachable” and wind up accomplishing nothing but embarrassing the party in the midst of the 2024 election.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) said on Newsmax that the House should only pursue impeachment if their case is incredibly strong and based on indisputable evidence.

“Send us a case, make sure it’s convictable,” Mullin advised. “And the bar is real high, there’s no question, it’s got to be a misdemeanor, a high crime, or treason. And the other bar is it has to be committed while [Biden] was in office, the current office he holds. So what he did as a vice president, what he did in between the two, may not be impeachable.”

What exactly are House Republicans basing their impeachment inquiry on? Two items, both of which have been fully explained and debunked.

Republicans allege that when Biden was vice president, he demanded that Ukraine fire a government prosecutor who was suspected by the United States and its allies of dragging his heels on fighting corruption in the country, which is allied with the West.

But Biden was merely following the policy of President Barack Obama and top officials in the Obama administration.

At the time the prosecutor was under suspicion, Biden’s son, Hunter, was serving on the board Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company.

The other allegation against Biden is that while he was a private citizen, he accepted repayment of a truck loan from Hunter, though such a move is not and never has been illegal in any U.S. jurisdiction.

Simply put, House Republicans are pursuing their bogus “inquiry” for one reason and one reason only: To provide a smokescreen for their likely 2024 presidential nominee, Donald Trump, who has been indicted on 91 criminal charges and may have shared classified intelligence with our adversaries.
