“Earlier today, I received an update from Chairmen Comer, Jordan, and Smith on the House’s impeachment inquiry. At this stage, our impeachment inquiry has already shown the corrupt conduct of the President’s family, and that he and White House officials have repeatedly lied about his knowledge and involvement in his family’s business activities. It has also exposed the tens of millions of dollars from foreign adversaries being paid to shell companies controlled by the President’s son, brother, and their business associates. Now, the appropriate step is to place key witnesses under oath and question them under the penalty of perjury, to fill gaps in the record.”
“I commend the good work of Chairmen Comer, Jordan, and Smith. As we move forward toward an inflection point in this critical investigation, they have my full and unwavering support,” says Speaker Mike Johnson in a statement, probably panicking over the Freedom Caucasians losing their shit over the spending bill and thinking providing an update on nothing was the best way to mollify them.
Problem is that the whole fucking reason for this fake impeachment “inquiry” – which still hasn’t even gone to the floor for a vote – in the first place was because now-former Speaker Kevin McCarthy hastily announced it in a bid to save his ass. Look at how that worked out for him.
