Impeachment Is Coming. But It Won’t Be a Pelosi-Style Three-Ring Circus

Are you ready for another impeachment of a president? You should be because one is definitely coming.

The Republican-controlled House of Representatives will begin impeachment proceedings against Joe Biden in the next several months. The proceedings will last for a month or more, and then the House will vote to impeach Biden, probably in February 2024. The impeachment articles will then be delivered to the U.S. Senate, which will vote on whether to remove Biden from office.

A two-thirds vote is required to remove a president who has been impeached. It’s unlikely the Senate will have that many votes to remove Biden. But the possibility could be used as leverage by the Democrats to persuade Biden to resign or not run again for office.

Such a decision by Biden would then clear the way for Gavin Newsom or others, including Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Illinois Governor Jay Pritzker, to run for the Democratic nomination for president.

No, the mainstream media won’t tell you any of this. But it’s happening.

This article by Professor Jonathan Turley of George Washington University Law School does an excellent job of explaining why the impeachment must go forward. This includes the cascade of information about the bribery of the Biden Crime Family and its related money laundering and tax evasion along with the corruption in Merrick Garland’s Justice Department in covering up the Biden crimes.

This impeachment will not be a rushed Mickey Mouse affair like the two impeachments of Donald Trump orchestrated by Nancy Pelosi in 2019 and 2021. The Pelosi impeachments of Trump were on flimsy charges. In fact, Trump was impeached for asking Ukrainian President Zelensky to investigate Biden crimes in Ukraine that we now know actually happened.

Instead, the impeachment of Biden will look more like the Nixon impeachment hearings of 1974 led by Congressman Peter Rodino of New Jersey. Rodino’s hearings were sober, dignified and rigorous. Both parties had the opportunity to debate the issues, both pro and con. Ample evidence was provided. In the end, Nixon was not impeached, but resigned once members of his own party explained that impeachment and removal from office were just a matter of time.

Something similar may happen this time. The House may prepare to impeach Biden at which point Democratic members of the Senate may persuade Biden to resign. This suits their purposes because they want to get rid of Biden anyway as he’s senile and might lose the 2024 election.

This impeachment scenario could play out in a number of different ways. We’ll be watching it closely. Meanwhile, investors should prepare for the uncertainty and volatility that’s waiting right around the corner.
