Biden impeachment?

[gcode]

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said on Friday's episode of his podcast, "Verdict with Ted Cruz," that there would be "multiple grounds" to impeach Old Joe Biden if the Republicans take back the House in 2022.

"If we take the House," Cruz said, "if we take the House, which I said is overwhelmingly likely, then I think we will see serious investigations of the Biden administration." Those investigations could lead to impeachment: "whether it's justified or not, the Democrats weaponized impeachment. They used it for partisan purposes to go after Trump because they disagreed with him. One of the real disadvantages of doing that is the more you weaponize it and turn it into a partisan cudgel, you know what's good for the goose is good for the gander."

That's true. The Constitution states that "the President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." It is unwise and a sign of the degeneration of our political system into a cesspool of corruption and influence-peddling that the Democrats have weaponized impeachment proceedings against Republican presidents who have not remotely committed treason, bribery, or any other high crimes and misdemeanors. If the Republicans descend to the same level instead of continuing their usual spinelessness and me-tooism, on one level it would be refreshing to see them fight back against the authoritarian Left, but it would also indicate a further erosion of the mutual respect upon which our political system has been based up until recent decades.

Cruz, however, sees grounds to impeach Old Joe that aren't just partisan vindictiveness. "I think there will be enormous pressure on a Republican House to begin impeachment proceedings," he observed correctly, adding: "I think there are potentially multiple grounds to consider for impeachment. Probably the most compelling is the utter lawlessness is President Biden to enforce the border. His decision to just defy immigration laws. That's probably the strongest grounds right now for impeachment but there may be others."

Cruz has a good point. Leaving the Southern border open for all manner of criminals, including jihad terrorists, can easily be seen as treason, which is generally defined as giving aid and comfort to the enemy. There is no denying the fact that the enemies of the United States are gaining aid and comfort from our essentially nonexistent Southern border, as it gives them easy entrée into the country with little worry that their activities to subvert and ultimately destroy the United States will be impeded.

I'm looking forward to this

just like the Trump impeachments

It will be a good show though 

however, if the 2022 midterms are a Red Wave and the R's win the House AND Senate
a successful impeachment is a real possibility

The Trump impeachments failed because the R's help the Senate.
If the R's win both houses in November it's a whole new ball game

however, if the 2022 midterms are a Red Wave

If I am being honest, I'll be floored if that happens...my mind tells me we are too far down the split for it to happen...

We shall I guess...

Bidens a buffoon, he's lost and in over his head....while I'll applaud when he's gone, I'm not sure I can really think of a solid reason on which to impeach him...high crime, misdemeanor...what specific event hits that bar?  None did with Trump and that whole thing was a kabuki Theater fiasco...if it's persued, I fail to see at this time how it would be anything different or more...

May be better than talking about Covid all the time.

[Jim at Gentex]

I will give you 3 words that should derail any thought of impeaching Biden.

President.
Kamala.
Harris.

You're welcome...

[Midwest]

If they lose the House or Senate or both, will they start talking about the southern border and all the illegals that they are going to want citizenship for and voting rights?

read the link in my initial posts.. it lists a half dozen reasons

read the link in my initial posts.. it lists a half dozen reasons

A great deal of specualtion, at least up to this point...policy disagreements....skating a thin line there....

Listen, if they want to start investigating some of it, go for it, some of it anyway is certainly dirty on the surface...

Just like the report out on Trump was a nothingburger, until there's actual proof, speculating on begining an impeachment inquiry ahead of time is, well, unwise...and listen, I like Ted Cruz, I voted for Ted Cruz, just not sure this language this far ahead of the game is a smart thing to do...

If "lying to a Federal Agent" is considered a "High Crime", misdemeanor is irrelevant because lying to a Fed is a Felony (which is why you NEVER speak to one without an attorney present even if you are not the one under investigation), then his response to his son Hunter's nefarious activities could fall under that umbrella that would earn him an impeachment.
