GOP senator says Biden ‘may not be’ impeachable since he wasn’t in office during accused actions

There's no way the House GOP sees that as relevant, it's not about the law or what's just.

Wait, what accused action? I thought they didn't even have an accused action.

I don’t know about you all but I’m never voting for Hunter Biden.

He would also have to have actually done any of the accused actions.

Republicans: This guy is the oldest president in the history of the USA, what do you mean his son isn't pulling the strings? That is how it works with all elder politicians!

To be impeached- wouldn’t one need to have done something worthy of impeachment?

Did they just realize he wasn't a part of the government?

Mullin is a piece of shit who couldn’t even handle himself with a bored union rep who was halfheartedly teasing him.

Beginning to soften the blow of disappointment for their rabid base.

that's embarrassing how does anyone vote for these people

I don’t think they actually need a valid reason for impeachment.

They could have impeached Obama for wearing his brown suit. Or Jaywalking when he went to the restaurant and put ketchup on his burger or whatever the heck that was about.

History

Launched in 1982, The Washington Times is a daily newspaper concentrating on politics and news. Based in Washington, D.C., The Washington Times was founded by a self-professed messiah, Korean Sun Myung Moon. According to its parent company, during Washington Times’ 20th anniversary, Moon said: “The Washington Times is responsible for letting the American people know about God” and “The Washington Times will become the instrument in spreading the truth about God to the world.”

And also, presumably, because there were no crimes.

Isn't this the clown who Bernie Sanders chastised for wanting to have a physical fight with someone who was testifying to a Congressional committee?

The Washington Times is a garbage conservative conspiracy generator. If we’re not linking to Newsmax or FoxNews, we shouldn’t be linking to it.

The best part is their Orange Leader is trying to get Courts (at the Supreme Court now) to rule that the President has some kind of ultimate immunity. This would of course put Presidents above the law and out of reach of even the Supreme Court. It would also of course make it so Biden could do whatever he wanted (not that he actually would) - negating their whole farce.

I'm pretty sure the stuff the Rs were actually going after Clinton over didn't happen in office either, Lewinsky just presented a big target they could attach it all to.

In my opinion it would be a disaster if you could receive compensation for future policy input, act on that input in office, and be immune simply because you were not in office when you received it.

Just prove he did or did not do it instead of whatever this nonsense take is.

By the letter of the text, "bribery, treason, or high crimes and misdemeanors" are all things one does in office which betray the dignity of the position. "High crimes" means crimes done by those in a place of authority.

So no, whatever Hunter stuff from before the election they're trying to base the impeachment on would not be impeachable if you're trying to be Constitutional.

But, there's no one who can judge what counts as impeachable except the people who vote on it. They can really impeach/remove someone for whatever reason they want, they just need enough people to agree.

Goddam “facts” and “reality”. So often creating problems for extremists. Too bad that “alternative facts” phrase became a punchline instead of a legitimate part of our vocabulary.

Having no evidence except "payback for Trump, baby" might be a larger problem

So one of them has a half a brain cell
