Early morning Joe kicked off with a roundup of Republicans trying to rationalize the impeachment inquiry introduced by Kevin McCarthy yesterday (with a gun held to his head by the Independence Caucus).
They are not thrilled, mainly because it is very likely they will eliminate handle of the Household if they go by means of with it. But McCarthy cannot just announce an inquiry — legally, there has to be a vote (thanks to Trump’s DOJ.) The good news is for them, there are fifteen Republicans who are probable to oppose any impeachment votes, mainly because they have seats in districts the place Joe Biden gained handily. And in order to have an impeachment hearing, they have to have these votes. So: ain’t gonna materialize!
But they are still carrying out very little to avoid a govt shutdown, which is definitely going to piss people off when they do not get their checks.
Here is Twitter:
See? It truly is not that tricky. You you should not have to hold out until finally the 14th paragraph to introduce the data that you will find no proof to aid an impeachment inquiry. You can even start out there! Immediately after all, its newsworthy that the Republicans would try it on these thin grounds. https://t.co/PvKEDUsvYo
