Title: Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy hints GOP won't impeach Biden cabinet officials - because Democrats

Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy hints GOP won't impeach Biden cabinet officials - because Democrats used it against Trump for purely political purposes

    Kevin McCarthy doesn't want to impeach Biden officials for 'political purposes'
    Some Republicans want to impeach DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and AG Merrick Garland if they retake a majority in the November midterms
    'I think the country doesn't like impeachment used for political purposes at all,' McCarthy said to Punchbowl News. 'I think the country wants to heal'
    Wants to be different then Democrats, who twice impeached Donald Trump
    'If you spent all that time arguing against using impeachment for political purposes, you gotta be able to sustain exactly what you said,' McCarthy added

By Katelyn Caralle, U.S. Political Reporter For Dailymail.com

Kevin McCarthy is not as eager as his GOP colleagues to immediately seek impeachment against Joe Biden's Cabinet members if they win back a majority in the November midterms.

Some Republicans are out for blood – seeking revenge by way of Biden and his team after Democrats politicized impeachment and sought it against Donald Trump two times during his four years in office.

The House GOP Leader, however, told Punchbowl News that Americans don't 'like impeachment used for political purposes at all,' and said 'the country wants to heal' and see a 'system that actually works.'

He also said that Republicans need to maintain their integrity by not turning around and engaging in the same politically-motivated actions that they railed against the opposing party for doing the last four years.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Attorney General Merrick Garland are the top two names that have been floated by some House Republicans as potential targets should the lower chamber turn red.

Some Republicans have even floated impeaching President Joe Biden, who turns 80 next month, by calling into question his physical and mental fitness to serve.

McCarthy, asked if anyone within the administration has engaged in conduct that would cause him to consider impeachment, said: 'I don't see it before me right now.'

'You watch what the Democrats did – they all came out and said they would impeach before Trump was ever sworn in,' the California Republican congressman said. 'There wasn't a purpose for it.'

I think McCarthy is being cautious just before the election. One of the things that could interrupt a red wave is the notion that the Republicans will launch one investigation after another and our politics will become even more divisive.

I fully expect that McCarthy will have more than one committee looking into the FBI's Russia-gate investigation, Hunter Biden, the political weaponization of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies, etc. But there is no reason to say so at this point.

Impeachment would be configirmation that the GOP is just a big nothing burger.

Impeachment is polticial theater, not governing.

Impeachment doesn't lower inflation, doesn't re-domesticate supply chains, doesn't make the military stronger, and does nothing to make America better through the implementation of proven conservative policies.

In this election cycle we're asking independents and center democrats to stand with us and vote to protect their kids, their community's safety, their economic security, their national sovereignty and personal freedoms.

Why would we want to throw impeachment into the mix?  Republicans should just chuckle and return attention back to what they plan to do for and with the American people instead of getting sucked into stupid headlines like this one.

The truth shall set you free, some people love their cozy comfortable cell of lies their minds sleep comfortably in.   The advocates of lies have been at war and denials for about as long as humanity has existed.  They kept getting wiped out throughout history, showing they highly resist reality, which is well proven not to be kind to them.  Father of truth or father of lies, the choice was and is in your face there, here and then.   Life is what it is.

McCarthy waves off talk of impeaching Biden. He's right
Hot Air, Oct 20, 2022

While we should never count our chickens until they are fully out of their shells, there is almost unanimous agreement among the major polling groups that the GOP should be able to retake the majority in the House next month.

[...]

Before anyone begins accusing me of jumping ship and joining Team Biden, at least hear me out. The wind is at the back of the GOP right now because of all the issues I mentioned above. The country is dealing with multiple crises at the moment and almost all of them are either a direct result of the Democrats’ policies under the Biden administration or they were significantly exacerbated by them. The Democrats have no viable fig leaf to hide behind on those issues. We don’t need to give Democrats and particularly independents a reason to vote against the current agenda (or at least stay home on election day) because the party in power has already given them all of the excuses they require.

If the GOP turns around now and immediately starts talking about impeachment being on the table, that might be just the scare tactic that those marginal voters need to change their minds. They already sat through the Democrats’ endless circus of impeaching Donald Trump twice and I’m guessing that a lot of them (particularly those who would normally be inclined to support a liberal agenda) don’t want to go through that again.

[...]

If the GOP winds up taking back control of both chambers next month (and that’s still a very big “if,” at least in terms of the Senate), Joe Biden’s presidency will effectively be over. Even taking back just the House will essentially have the same effect. Aside from some additional executive orders that will almost all end up being tied in knots in the courts, he’ll be done. Then it will just be a matter of waiting him out for two years and seeing if the tide has shifted sufficiently to take back the White House. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Stupid Party: Kevin McCarthy Says GOP Won’t Move to Impeach Biden or Administration Officials
OCT 21, 2022 7:00 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER4 COMMENTS
New in PJ Media:


In America today, we have a two-party system: the Stupid Party and the Evil Party. The Evil Party sets the agenda and pursues its aims relentlessly and ruthlessly; the Stupid Party registers a polite token opposition and then fully agrees to whatever the Evil Party wants, occasionally only arguing that it can implement the Evil Party’s program more effectively than the Evil Party itself. We saw this play out yet again Wednesday, when Stupid Party House Leader Kevin McCarthy (S-California) downplayed any talk of impeaching Old Joe Biden or any of his cronies if the Stupids retake the House in the midterm elections. McCarthy is still playing by rules that the Evil Party discarded long ago, and that’s why he and his fellow Stupid Party members keep losing.

McCarthy declared that Americans don’t “like impeachment used for political purposes at all,” and added that “the country wants to heal” and see a “system that actually works.” That means there will be no impeachment proceedings against Biden, or Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary and former Disinformation Governance Board supreme overlord Alejandro Mayorkas, or Gestapo chief Merrick Garland. Leave billions of dollars worth of materiel in Afghanistan for our enemies to use against us? No problem! Open the Southern border so that untold numbers of criminals and terrorists can waltz right into the country? Hey, we all make mistakes. Sic the woke FBI against parents protesting at school board meetings against the far-Left agenda in public schools? We all can get carried away! Impeachment? Forget it. It wouldn’t be the decent thing to do.

When McCarthy was asked if he saw any grounds for impeaching any officials of this lawless and authoritarian administration, he answered: “I don’t see it before me right now. You watch what the Democrats did – they all came out and said they would impeach before Trump was ever sworn in. There wasn’t a purpose for it. If you spent all that time arguing against using impeachment for political purposes, you gotta be able to sustain exactly what you said.”

@libertybele   Is it set in stone that he becomes Speaker if we take the house?

Not to my knowledge, but he is the 'presumed' Speaker.

Just for one day, let Trump be Speaker.  Just long enough to force Pelosi to hand her gavel over to him.  After that, hand the gavel over to Mark Levin.

This isn't about impeaching Biden.  It's about impeaching Mayorkas.

Quite a hoot coming from the King of the Trait.

You rightfully slam "W" and then his ilk before and after his tenure for nation building and foreign meddling.   Then you contradict yourself, wanting big time intervention on our behalf in Uke/Russia.    Make up your mind dude.

I've not seen a single word from Sneaky suggesting nation building in Ukraine. Not one.

NATO has one purpose and one purpose only. To contain an expansionist militant Russia. Ukraine is doing more to contain Russia than anyone has done in the last 30 years or more. I'm all for supplying Ukraine with weapons to do that. Russia can end this anytime they like by simply getting out of Ukraine.

@DB  @catfish1957

Thank you. I am all for Europe handing the Neo-Soviets their asses and chasing them back home,but I do NOT want ANY US troop involvement in the actual fighting.

Not our monkey's, not our circus.

I have absolutely zero opposition to US troops stationed in places like Germany or the UK  teaching Ukrainian troops how to properly use some US high-tech equipment as long as the training is done in Germany,the UK,or similar US foreign military bases,but strongly oppossed to using US troops in any of the fighting.

Besides,it isn't even necessary. The Ukrainian troops are doing a fine job of handing the Neo-Soviets their asses without any non-Ukrainian troop involvement. Which is a VERY good thing for Europe because it is showing the rest of Europe they no longer need to fear the toothless bear from the east.

Look at what a wonderful world it will be for everybody without the fear of big,bad Russia attacking and occupying the other European nations. All we would really have to worry about then would be our own treasonous "leaders" who are whores in bed with the bleeping Chinese.  IMHO,the cure to that is called "a hangman's rope or a bullet in the chest while tied to a stake",but we all know this is not going to happen in this day,where treason seems to be rewarded due to the globalist influences.

YUP! And just look at how much money we can save if the neo-Soviets are removed from power for destroying the image of Russia as something to be feared,and "peace breaks out all over" in Europe.

Yeah,we still have the Muslims and the Chinese,but two enemies are easier to deal with than 3. And who knows? It is even POSSIBLE that Trump will get elected as the next President,have a seriously good VP running mate,and change the 3rd world destiny of America!

They are doing more than that. They are doing what everybody thought was impossible,including me. I would have bet everything I own that the Soviets would have just rolled all over them and taken total control in less than a week.

Which is about as fine of an example that I can think of to explain why I never bet on anything.

If the Rats don't suffer for the evil tactics they've used while in power there is no reason for them not to use them again when they are in power.

It makes sense right now for McCarthy to not give the Rats anything to rally their base, or to scare off the suburban moms that are coming over to the Pubs. However, once in power we need to see House Rats denied committee seats. We need to see Rats that don't, or shouldn't, have security clearance off intelligence committees. We need investigations into J6 and we need a complete overhaul of the Capitol Police force. We also need investigations into all of the Biden crime family as well as the FBI, DOJ and intelligence agencies.

The Pubs better exercise the power they've been given if they win the majorities or they will be dooming all of us.

The world looks at our anarchy and betrayal by our government leaders and see anarchy and destruction and our fools express everything is just fine while doom looms.  Insane, the perps tell us they can't be blamed and by the gov game they play, they can't be!

McCarthy is lying to protect his potential House Speakership.

We all know, if the GOP takes the House, they won't be able to stop themselves from impeaching Biden admin officials as payback for the Dem impeachments of Trump.
Sadly, it will be presented by the press as "payback", when all it would be is removing those who have broken the law or who have not carried out the duties of their office in defiance of the laws and Constitution they swore to protect and defend.

The Trump Impeachments were brazenly political. and those actions by the Dems would naturally be projected upon any conservatives and moderates who participated, because that is how Democrats roll.

Impeachment of those guilty of nonfeasance or misfeasance in this administration would be for removing them from office at the beginning of criminal prosecution, if properly conducted.  It's about the Law, not politics, and would have to be presented as such, loud, long, and repeatedly.

Let's start with issuing a subpoena to Nancy Pelosi...along with every text and email she sent within 30 days of the event...to testify in front of the "new" January 6th committee. If she refuses, let's start that process for a 4 month jail stint. If she agrees to do so...and doesn't take the 5th...tear her apart on the stand. If she does take the 5th, she's exposed as a liar and criminal. Win-win.

As that's going on, start the process to impeach Mayorkas and expose the border failure.

Impeaching a senile Biden...an effort that's guaranteed to fail in the Senate regardless...achieves nothing but giving the Left an easy talking point about how the GOP does nothing but vindictive scandal-mongering. That said, a full investigation with subpoena's surrounding the Hunter Biden affair...laptop, foreign payments, etcetera...begins on day one. IF that turns up clear evidence of Joe's involvement than of course, impeachment must happen. But that comes later....for now...go after the low hanging fruit and pass as much legislation as possible to close the border and fight crime. Keeping in mind none of that passes the Senate...as we certainly won't have a filibuster proof 60. But the legislation shows the House is doing the right thing...and that matters for 2024.

Removing Biden first will leave the Swamp intact. Not removing him, but removing those who are actually writing/implementing policy contrary to Law will force more swamp critters to rise from the ooze. It's going to be a long process, but those, in turn, can be removed as well. While this may seem like political whack-a-mole, it is only by removing and discrediting those who have been implementing or generating disastrous policy that those policies can be muted or reversed.
It we make an honest assessment of who does what where in government, it is the administrative State of the Executive Branch, from the Cabinet Level downward that does the heavy lifting and fills volumes of the Federal Register with new and onerous regulations to the detriment of us all. That is the part of the swamp that needs to be drained most, and those are the offices which should be targeted.
Biden is just a replaceable figurehead, as is Harris, and elevating the Speaker of the House (as long as it is Pelosi) to the Presidency would bee an unmitigated disaster. As much of a hot mess as she is, she is still mentally competent, even if misinformed and occasionally delusional. Not the hands I would want on any more powerful reins than she has managed thus far. I beelieve, however, that she was instrumental in orchestrating the events of 1/6, right down to the timing of the doors of the Capitol being opened from the inside to admit the protestors, in order to claim a threat to disrupt any proceeding which might have included questioning the election's honesty. That may at some point provide the red meat for prosecution for sedition, if not treason.
