On Wednesday, the United States House of Representatives held a vote to formally authorize an investigation into President Joe Biden’s potential impeachment.
The Republican-controlled chamber voted 221-212 along party lines in approval of the inquiry, which is examining whether President Biden was personally advantaged by his son Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings.
Hunter had declined an invitation to testify in private.
The White House has dismissed the investigation as politically motivated and lacking evidence.
With a possible run for reelection against Trump in 2024 looming ahead, President Biden is preparing for battle.
Trump holds the distinction of being the first president in American history to face two impeachments and four criminal trials concurrently.
On Monday, House Speaker Mike Johnson reported that he believed there were sufficient votes to initiate an impeachment inquiry.
“He just told us that … Thursday,” Rep. Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) said of Johnson in comments to Reuters after leaving a closed-door meeting with the Republican conference on Monday.
Reuters went on to claim that “House Republicans have so far failed to produce evidence tying Biden’s actions as vice president to his son’s businesses,” which is false, per GOP lawmakers.

With this vote, we are now in better legal standing to fight the White House’s obstruction.

At a House Freedom Caucus press conference in September, Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) expressed disbelief when a reporter inquired about the evidence House Republicans had to initiate an inquiry.
“What actual evidence do you have as opposed to allegations to show to the American public that would merit an actual impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden and prove that today isn’t just about some of you?” a reporter asked off-camera.
“Oh, I don’t know,” interjected Perry as the reporter went on to suggest Republicans were simply “enacting political revenge” after Democrats impeached then-President Donald Trump.
“This isn’t about political revenge. We have the bank accounts we can see, ma’am. You can see that the homes that the Bidens own can’t be afforded on a congressional or Senate salary. You also understand that it’s not normal for family members to receive millions of dollars from overseas interests,” Perry responded, growing increasingly animated and agitated.
“Those things aren’t normal. That’s not normal. Have 20 shell country companies, these things are not normal. And it alludes to not only just widespread corruption, but money laundering, if not influence peddling itself,” he continued.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), the leading Republican on the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, told Just the News last week that “banks filed at least six reports concerning Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings that flagged President Joe Biden’s home address in Delaware and raised concerns about possible criminal activity involving money laundering or human trafficking,” the outlet reported.
He also said “that the Suspicious Activity Reports (SARS) chronicled about $12 million in transactions over several years, some of which passed through Joe Biden’s Wilmington, Del., home where he had allowed his son to stay,” the outlet noted further.
Johnson asserted that Joe Biden was likely aware of his son’s use of the family home as a business and banking address, due to postal mail received at the location.
He further contended that House impeachment investigators have sufficient grounds to investigate Joe Biden’s involvement in his son’s foreign dealings. The House is slated to vote on officially authorizing an impeachment inquiry next week.
“There’d be so much activity coming into his address, in this case, Hunter Biden’s businesses, that he obviously would have to be aware,” Johnson said of the current Oval Office occupant. “So, again, I just use the word obvious. It has been so obvious for so long that Biden Inc. is a corrupt enterprise. And that this president is corrupt, that he is compromised.
In an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity in July, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) predicted that Joe Biden would go down as “one of the most corrupt stories in U.S. history when we get to the bottom of it.”
Finally!
Evidence I’ve heard repeated, repeated and repeated on what used to be Tucker Carlson’s show on Fox and still repeated on Watter’s World and Hannity’s TV and radio shows is absolutely overwhelming.
Quid Pro Quo Sell-Out Traitor Joe “Big Guy” of the Biden Crime Family has spent his whole life telling lies, sniffing little girls and now acting all the worse as our Liar-In-Chief when he is not needing help getting off a stage after trying to shake hands with an invisible man.
RedState, you took the words right out of my mouth. 100% the truth on everything what I’ve been saying since the Anti-American, Communist bastard, sellout stole the election in 2020.
HANG HIM HIGH along with Communist George Soros and The Anti-American, Anti-Constitution, Muslim Barack Hussein Obama.
The Dems usual deny, deflect, and refuse to cooperate. Hope to see Joey pay up for his persecution of others.
Obama is not innocent in these crimes either, when will he be investigated
Obama is the ringleader. Why else is there no response to Iran attacks? John McCain said Blinken would endanger American troops. Does Afghanistan and the current malaise convince you yet?
Start with Biden and work backwards to get to Obama. This is what happens when we allow someone in this case Biden to steal an election. Biden should never have gotten away with this. He even told us so himself. I still have the picture of Biden saying that he had the most extensive fraud ever set up. He said it out loud and still got away with it.
Oh Wow!!!-Impeachment Inquiry??-What a Joke!!-Like Fabricated Media Propaganda=Bidoom Shaking In His Boots?-He’s a Pawn Clown and Do You really think It Cares Let alone Knows??-He’s as Expendable as The Entire Country!-Just Another Propaganda Tactic To Steer the REAL Issues!-Who Wants To Sort Out This Shithole Of a Mess?-The Once Greatest Nation In the World Has Become a Pit Of Vipers-Roaches-Liars-Cheaters-All It Took Was Promises Of $$$!!-Trump Should Leave It Alone!-He deserves Better!-A New Nation In Another Country Of Sane Civilians!! -Let Some Other Clown Take It Down Some More!-Bullets are Going To Be Needed To Clean up This Stagnant Swamp!! -But Nobody Wants the Job!-Move and leave the Mess to the Scum that Created it!-Now a Third World Country!!!-Get Out Now!-Let The Swamp Sink Into Oblivion!-Shouldn’t take More Then a Few Years!-Not A Place For The Sane Anymore!-Use It Or Lose It!-Lots Of Cheap Real Estate And Beautiful Scenery In these Countries Being Abandoned!-Figured It Out Yet?
Glad to see justice coming for Joe Biden.
The evidence of pervasive wrongdoing and blatant corruption within and amongst the Biden family is piling up faster than KJP can try to “sweep it all under a rug.”
This inept diversity hire cannot keep lying to the American people… by saying that there’s “no evidence of Biden family corruption?!” So, where’s the evidence? Whoops, THERE IT IS!

Quit investigating–get it DONE!
Godfather Joe:
Come on Godfather, you know damn well there is not one politician willing to meet you out behind the barn. As an old criminal investigator who first came to know you during your first term in the Senate; I can testify without reservation that not one of those self-serving, witless, cowards wallowing around the swamp can make a dent in your operations.
Godfather, I know you do not like to pat yourself on the back so I will do it for you. Over the years you have become the favorite subject/informant for many of us old criminal investigators; primarily because you have the courage to not only admit your crimes after the fact, but you give us old cops the who/what/when/where/why/how/because in real time making our jobs ever so easy. Yea, we knew all too well then as they do these days that most investigations involving well placed politicians and/or bureaucrats went in the trash once reaching DC! But, no matter we got paid regular as rain.
Godfather, do you remember that international drug trade/money laundering investigation in the mid-seventies in which you, little Billy Clinton, and a gaggle of Jimmy Carter’s guys were named as subjects? Why don’t you impress the folks and explain the term, “Green Lining”?
Oh, I can’t let you go without thanking you one more time for giving many of us investigators involved in the above referenced drug trade investigation the opportunity to claim (at least for a little while) that there was a spiritual element in our work. When we heard that you went to one of Little Jimmy Carter’s prayer meetings and asked for prayers for not only the other subjects named in the above referenced investigation but we investigators as well, we knew you truly deserved the title of “Godfather”!
Soldier/Cop/Mercenary, Retired
PS Forgive me Godfather. Almost forgot to congratulate you one more time for you being one of the three subjects in the above reference drug trade investigation who has gone on to become President and Commander-in-Chief.
