Weakest inquiry in US history

BY MINI RACKER SEPTEMBER 12, 2023 7:23 PM EDT

... Frank Bowman, professor emeritus at the University of Missouri school of law and author of the book High Crimes and Misdemeanors: A History of Impeachment for the Age of Trump, said that McCarthy’s decision did not appear to be based on the evidence House Republicans have gathered thus far.

“Biden's Republican pursuers have got exactly zero, zip, bupkis, on any matter that might be impeachable,” says Bowman ...

“This is supposed to be the most extreme sanction in American politics, and if you reach for it every time you think it'll help you in the polls, I fear it will become degraded,” Bobbitt says. “It just becomes one more very divisive, poisonous event in a Congress that is already deeply divided and alienated."

Hope you are enjoying your Speakership, Kevin.

Which disaster bus do you want to ride? An Impeachment to Nowhere Bus or the moron's bus that will recall you for not getting on the Impeachment to Nowhere bus?

It's part of the plan--flooding the zone with shit and chaos. Then, they can turn around and say: see it doesn't work, all of it is false and corrupt and useless. Burn it, burn it all down.

American carnage at its finest!
