What the Biden Impeachment Inquiry Has Proved By Joe Conason

[justaprogressive]

So far, the Republican drive to impeach President Joe Biden has illustrated a crucial aspect of political life in America. It has nothing to do with the president, or at least not the current president. What we are learning from this shameful spectacle is that the Republican Party will shred the Constitution, the law and its own integrity because that is what former President Donald Trump commands.

Last month Trump urged publicly on his website what he had been saying privately to his servile supporters in the House: If the Republicans fail to impeach Biden, they will "fade into OBLIVION." House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who warned last year against a "political" abuse of impeachment, reversed position immediately to order an impeachment inquiry — which commenced with hearings this week by the House Oversight Committee and its chairman, Rep. James Comer, R-Ky.

How did that go? The assessments of House Republicans who were willing to comment off the record ranged from "embarrassing" to "catastrophic." On the record, right-wing Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., mocked his party's case against Biden as "a fictitious version of events." The saner Fox News personalities were unimpressed, with Neil Cavuto openly wondering why the committee had wasted six hours of his life and Steve Doocy noting sheepishly that GOP allegations against the president remain "completely unverified" and "problematic."
