Has Joe Biden Committed Impeachable Offenses?
By Dave Agusta
At the end of President Trump's first term, congressional Democrats impeached and tried the president, and the one and only article of impeachment was for “incitement of insurrection.â€
The focus of this charge was a statement made by the president telling the January 6th rally attendees that, "if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymoreâ€, the operative word there being “fight.†Of course, the assumption was the definition of the word fight can only include physical violence. The House managers must have never heard anyone say, “I’m going to fight this cancer with all my energy.†They certainly did not anticipate the president’s counsel playing video showing Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Chuck Schumer and certain impeachment managers using the word “fight†and not being charged with anything. The implication was that the president encouraged and incited violence at the Capitol, one of the results of which was the murder of a Capitol police officer. This charge was specifically included in the article. We know now it was a lie and there was no evidence then to make such a charge.
The constitutional text covering impeachment requirements includes the phrase “high crimes and misdemeanors.†The generally accepted viewpoint is that this describes any serious abuse of power, including legal and illegal activities. Any civil officer can be impeached for misconduct, violation of oath of office, or serious incompetence.
