(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) President Joe Biden addressed his potential impeachment for the first time after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., announced an inquiry into the president’s prior business dealings with his son, Hunter Biden, NBC reported.
As he struggled to articulate his thoughts, Biden claimed that House Republicans oppose him not because of the trove of evidence they have spent months collecting that points to widespread corruption and potential conflicts of interests undermining national security in geopolitical hotspots like Ukraine and China, but because of a looming budget standoff.
“I don’t know quite why, but they just knew they wanted to impeach me,” Biden coyly claimed at a campaign event in McLean, Virginia.
“And now, the best I can tell, they want to impeach me because they want to shut down the government,” he added, neglecting to note that he could secure the government’s continued function by giving way to some of the spending cuts desired by House Republicans.
The question arose as McCarthy directed three separate committees to look into potential impeachment, which the Republican House speaker recently called the “next logical step.”
But in response, Biden and his media allies desperately sought to spin the impeachment attempt as a distraction from real political concerns, suggesting that Congress does nothing while he is the champion of the American people.
“So look, look, I got a job to do,” Biden said. “Everybody always asked about impeachment. I get up every day, not a joke, not focused on impeachment. I’ve got a job to do. I’ve got to deal with the issues that affect the American people every single solitary day.”
Of course, Biden either lied about his lack of knowledge as to the cause of the impeachment, or he has completely lost his mind.
Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., who will lead the investigation, noted that the investigators will look into potential violations of the law on the part of the Biden family with respect to Hunter Biden’s foreign dealings.
According to Comer, the upcoming hearings “will kind of evaluate some of the things that we believe have happened from the Biden family that are in violation with our laws.”
In what some legal experts, including constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley saw as an unprecedented violation of ethical norms, the White House counsel’s office issued a memorandum to media executives on Wednesday that conveyed propaganda talking points they should use when covering the impeachment.
It suggested the media challenge Republicans by insisting there was “no evidence” linking Biden to criminal conduct, despite a considerable amount of hard evidence that has been gathered, even before the start of the investigative phase.

Biden, meanwhile, has been known to repeatedly lie about his knowledge of his son’s business dealings. During the 2020 debates, he suggested that his son’s abandoned laptop might be Russian disinformation, despite knowing that this was false.
He also falsely claimed never to have spoken to his son about his business dealings, although records and testimony show that he engaged in regular speakerphone calls with his son’s business partners and used secret email aliases to receive updates on his son’s affairs.
Biden has refused to release the emails and the National Archives thus far have stonewalled the GOP investigators, which may have played a large role in McCarthy’s decision to proceed with the impeachment probe.
