Rep. Tom McClintock Supports Biden Impeachment Inquiry
Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA), who previously opposed the idea, now supports opening an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.
McClintock supports launching an impeachment inquiry into Biden “on the charge of bribery,” he told CNN’s Annie Grayer.
“McClintock said evidence is ‘mounting’ and if it can be proven ‘that is impeachable,’” Grayer reported.

McClintock adds to the growing number of House Republicans supporting an impeachment inquiry into Biden. The House Judiciary Committee, which McClintock sits on, would donut the impeachment inquiry and investigate Biden to determine if the House should bring formal impeachment proceedings.
This week, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said he may consider the impeachment inquiry because it would allow “Congress to get the information to be able to know the truth.”
McCarthy’s comments came one day after telling Fox News, “We will follow this to the end.”
McCarthy would support launching an impeachment inquiry if House Republicans secure the evidence to justify it, Politico reported, citing three GOP lawmakers in a closed-door meeting with the Speaker.
“It’s meaningful that he has broached the impeachment subject, and he has acknowledged that the evidence is mounting against the president,” Rep. Bob Good (R-VA) said.
The impeachment inquiry would investigate various corruption claims surrounding Biden and his family.
As Politico reported:
To explain the GOP’s potential case for opening a historic impeachment inquiry into Biden, McCarthy has pointed broadly to various threads of sweeping GOP investigations. Those include IRS whistleblower allegations that the Justice Department hampered the federal Hunter Biden probe, questions about Biden family business deals and an uncorroborated FBI document that links the president to an unverified bribery claim.
But Republicans have not yet found a smoking gun linking the president to his son’s business arrangements or that Joe Biden accepted a bribe, while both Attorney General Merrick Garland and U.S. Attorney David Weiss have denied the whistleblower allegations.
McClintock’s support is significant because Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) spoke with Breitbart News last month and said he was one of the few GOP holdouts.
“Everyone knows that Joe Biden is a criminal, and they [Republicans] will not move forward with impeachment anywhere in Judiciary, because you know what, you know what it is? There’s a couple of Republicans that sit on the Judiciary Committee, Ken Buck and [Tom] McClintock, who don’t want to vote for impeachment,” Greene told Breitbart News.
However, it does not appear Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) will have a change of heart regarding the impeachment inquiry anytime soon.
On Wednesday, Buck accused McCarthy of attempting “impeachment theater” to distract from the upcoming appropriations bills.
“Well, this is impeachment theater. We right now are starting the appropriations process, and there is no consensus on the Republican side about what the number should be,” Buck told CNN. “Kevin McCarthy promised when he was running for speaker one set of numbers, and then he made an agreement with President Biden for the debt ceiling increase on another set of numbers.”

Exclusive: Pressure Mounts to Impeach Joe Biden from Republican Judiciary House Members
Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee welcomed House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) long-awaited signal that an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden could be on the table in the near future.
Joe Biden is under scrutiny for participating in his family’s business deals after House investigators uncovered wire payments to the family while he was vice president, payment demands from Hunter Biden to Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-linked officials while “sitting” next to his father, along with texts, whistleblower testimony, and an FBI informant form implicating Joe Biden in the family’s business.
“You have to get to the bottom of the truth, and the only way Congress can do that is go to an impeachment inquiry that gives Republicans and Democrats the ability to get all the information,” McCarthy told reporters Tuesday.
House lawmakers exclusively told Breitbart News they support McCarthy’s threat, although some expressed frustrations that McCarthy is not moving quickly enough. Others told Breitbart News impeachment should include not only Joe Biden but members of his administration.
“House Republicans should hold anyone in the Biden Administration accountable for the corruption and blatant weaponization of government agencies in order to serve a political end,” said Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), a member of the Judiciary Committee.
“This includes the president himself for weaponizing the DOJ, but this, importantly, also includes Secretary [Alejandro] Mayorkas, who has facilitated the largest border crisis in our history and allowed Texas to remain under siege by drug cartels for over two and a half years,” he added.

Cartel ChroniclesJudiciary Committee member Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) argued the recent IRS whistleblower allegations concerning the Justice Department preventing an investigation into the “big guy” demands an impeachment inquiry free from political interference.
“We continue to learn about the corruption of the Biden crime family and how deep and wide that corruption seems to go,” she said. “With the revelations of the past several weeks and the increasing pace of new information leading towards the ‘big guy’ being directly involved, it is incumbent upon the Judiciary Committee to immediately open an impeachment investigation.”
“This investigation needs to be free of interference from the Biden Administration and its surrogates, and all requests for documents or testimony need to be honored in a timely manner,” she continued. “The accusations against the president are gravely serious — we must ensure that our investigation is thorough and that we follow the facts wherever they may lead.”

House Committee on the Judiciary / YouTubeHarrison Fields, Rep. Byron Donalds’ (R-FL) communication director, told Breitbart News that the congressman “supports” McCarthy’s “sentiments.” Donalds is also a member of the Oversight Committee. Impeachment proceedings would likely originate in the Judiciary Committee.
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) predicted an impeachment inquiry could be opened as soon as “early September.”
“You have the support of 222 Republican [House] members to move forward with this?” Fox News’s Martha MacCallum asked Issa. “Absolutely,” Issa replied. “As a matter of fact, I would expect that some Democrats would join us in a bipartisan inquiry to get to the truth.”

Michael Cohen: Trump Is ‘Petrified’ — ‘He’s Panicking Inside’ over Legal Battles
Michael Cohen, a former personal attorney for Donald Trump, said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that the former president was “panicking inside” over the legal cases he is facing.
Guest anchor Katie Phang asked, “Michael, Trump obviously he wears his emotions on his sleeve as he’s quick to demonize law enforcement and the DOJ, including Jack Smith. Privately, though, what is Donald Trump saying to the people in his immediate orbit about the prospect of actually doing jail time for his crimes?”
Cohen said, “Right now I can assure that he’s panicking, he’s panicking inside. He’ll never allow the public to see it because he likes to give the appearance of strength. And, you know, play the victim, which is what he’s going to continue to play, but Donald is right now petrified. When he’s alone in his Mar-a-Lago room, I assure you he’s thinking about just how bad this is going to be.”
He added, “First of all, you have Letitia James civil case, which is going to hit him in the pocket. That bothers him a lot. But then you have Alvin Bragg’s case, which again is criminal. You’re going to very soon have the indictment by District Attorney Fani Willis, and you’re going to have two federal indictments as well. Any one of these is overwhelming to any human being. So imagine now four with the full weight and power of prosecutors.”

Report: Trump’s Lawyers Told to Expect an Indictment Related to January 6
Update: Former President Donald Trump denied Thursday that the office of special counsel Jack Smith told his legal team that he should expect another indictment.
“My attorneys had a productive meeting with the DOJ this morning, explaining in detail that I did nothing wrong, was advised by many lawyers, and that an Indictment of me would only further destroy our Country,” the former president stated. “No indication of notice was given during the meeting — Do not trust the Fake News on anything!”
Read the original report below:
Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers were reportedly informed Thursday to expect another indictment, which would be the third indictment since the Republican frontrunner announced his presidential campaign.
According to a report from NBC News, Trump’s attorneys Todd Blanche and John Lauro met with prosecutors in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office and were told to “expect an indictment” as part of the ongoing January 6 investigation.
Trump initially revealed that he was the target of a January 6 probe last week.
“Deranged Jack Smith, the prosecutor with Joe Biden’s DOJ, sent a letter, (again it was Sunday night) stating I am the TARGET of the January 6 Grand Jury investigation, and giving me a very short 4 days to report to the Grand Jury, which almost always mean an Arrest and Indictment,” Trump announced on July 18.
“This has been a never ending fight since the day I came down the escalator in Trump Tower,” Trump continued.
Rather than looking at the CHEATERS, the WEAPONIZED DOJ AND FBI target and harass those who complain about the cheaters, and the massive fraud that took place… These are all Hoaxes and Scams made up to stop me from fighting for the American People — BUT I WILL NEVER STOP!” Trump assured, reemphasizing that the witch hunt is “ALL ABOUT ELECTION INTERFERENCE AND A COMPLETE AND TOTAL POLITICAL WEAPONIZATION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT!”
“It is a very sad and dark period for our Nation!” he added.
If the indictment occurs, this will be the former president’s third indictment in the past few months. Earlier this year, he faced an indictment at the hands of a Manhattan grand jury and Soros-tied District Attorney Alvin Bragg, which includes 34 counts of falsifying business records related to so-called “hush money” payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels. Trump pled not guilty.
