.SpeakerMcCarthy has inched closer to sanctioning an impeachment inquiry into President JoeBiden as Republicans complain the administration is not cooperating with its investigations.
But as Democrats lambaste McCarthy's impeachment inquiry comments as being politically motivated, some Republicans, such as former President Bill Clinton impeachment manager Bob Barr, are encouraging the speaker and his conference to embrace the politics of the process.Barr, a former federal prosecutor and congressman from Georgia, agreed with several more conservative lawmakers that there is enough evidence for an impeachment inquiry into Biden,"not necessarily articles yet.
The impeachment process is a political exercise, according to Barr, and not taking the politics into account would be irresponsible, particularly after former President Donald Trump's two House Democratic-led proceedings in 2019 and 2021. "I think the Republican Party now runs the risk of doing the same thing if we're not careful about keeping the inquiry of impeachment, if they go forward with one, based on substantive evidence, not pictures of Hunter Biden," he added."It's important to keep it professional, straightforward on the evidence, and not be drawn off on these tangents that play into the Democrat narrative.
The Democratic National Committee was more assertive in two separate statements, criticizing McCarthy for his remarks and then for fundraising off of them.
