Trump wants to see Biden impeached, and other Republicans are quick to pile on

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump wants to see President Joe Biden impeached, and the former president’s allies in Congress and his 2024 GOP presidential rivals are eager to join that fight as his own legal challenges mount.

Trump’s chief opponent, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, this week said the House Republicans “are absolutely within their rights” to consider an impeachment inquiry against Biden. Former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley, also running for president, said Republicans would be “justified to do it.” And House GOP leaders aligned with Trump are foreshadowing what’s ahead.

“House Republicans will leave no stone unturned,” said Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, the fourth-ranking House GOP leader and a top Trump ally, who is sometimes mentioned as a potential vice presidential pick.

This week, the prospect of impeaching Biden over the business dealings of his son, Hunter Biden, emerged from the far corners of the GOP’s right flank to the mainstream in the Republican Party.

Not all Republicans are on board with the House’s plans to consider an impeachment inquiry, but those who object may face political retribution from Trump.

Republican super sleuths will get to the bottom of this in service to their master. I believe their current weapon of choice is whistleblowers. Fake whistleblowers. Well paid whistle blowers.

SCREAM ON TEAMMATE. we are dealing with the original Friday the 13th.

IF the House Republicans succeed in their illusory quest to expunge even one impeachment of TFG, future impeachments of republican presidents could/would be erased if they weren't convicted by the Senate.
