Biden Impeachment Has Officially Begun?

Is President Joe Biden dangerously close to facing impeachment?
U.S. Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy appeared on Hannity last night to discuss the alleged Biden bribery scandal, and he stated the investigation is “rising to the level of impeachment inquiry.”
Now it’s fair to say there aren’t many attorneys, or broadcasters for that matter, who have as much experience with presidential impeachments as I do. That’s why U.S. Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy’s latest comments are of particular interest to me. But also keep in mind, an impeachment inquiry is just the beginning stage of the impeachment process. It’s not the same as articles of impeachment against the President being drafted. There is still a very long road from here to actual impeachment proceedings. Impeachment is a very serious business and cannot be taken lightly.
That said, the bar for impeachment seems to have been greatly lowered in recent years.
As our ACLJ Senior Counsel Andy Economou, who also worked on the defense team for former President Donald Trump, explained:
“When you start using impeachment the way that it has been used, first by the Democrats in the case of President Trump, you lower the bar to what is an impeachable offense. An impeachable offense is supposed to be, under the Constitution, a high crime and misdemeanor. What is a high crime and misdemeanor? It is what the Congress, at any point in time in its history, defines as a high crime and misdemeanor. And that’s what the inquiry would be about – what the high crime and misdemeanor is.
And it is a political process, but it is a process that begins in the House with an investigation. Articles of impeachment are then drafted, and if those are passed, then they’re carried over to the Senate for the trial. In this case, that’s a long way off. Then you’ve got to get two-thirds of the majority of the Senators in concurrence. But impeachment is at base not as much a legal process . . . but a political process.”
Now we’re not even saying that impeachment is the right vehicle in this instance, but we certainly understand why Republicans are giving it some serious thought. But the bigger issue is that the bar has been lowered, and by the Left, and that’s where it gets dangerous – as they’re now learning for themselves. The chickens the Left hatched in their pursuit of President Trump are now coming home to roost, so to speak. The problem is lowering that bar to chase your enemy, no matter which side you’re on, ultimately presents a very real danger to our constitutional republic.
