Steve Doocy, Nudes And A Ford Raptor: The Year In Impeachment
HuffPost
The most important ups and downs of the effort to investigate and impeach President Joe Biden for corruption.
Nothing that happened in Washington this year better encapsulates the modern Republican Party than the impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden.
And nothing will better symbolize former President Donald Trump’s control over the party than if the GOP goes through with it in 2024.
Republicans have used their quest for dirt on the Biden family to jockey among themselves for power in Washington and to gratify Trump by writing an alternate history of his presidency while casting Biden as corrupt.
The material Republicans are working with, however, isn’t the evidence of corruption they keep saying it is. Their own expert witnesses even said at a hearing in September that Republicans hadn’t uncovered any high crimes or misdemeanors.
It doesn’t matter. The impeachment inquiry is gaining momentum. It’s an exercise in raw political power, potentially culminating in a final vote to impeach Biden next year as the House Republicans most aligned with Trump mold the conference into a tool of the former president.
