White House prepares a war room for the inevitable Biden impeachment

The impeachment of Joe Biden is coming and Democrats know it. Even the White House knows it. They are preparing for the war.

A war room of two dozen lawyers, legislative aides, and communications staffers have been assembled to lead an aggressive response to a likely Republican impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. With so much information coming forward (finally), it is hard to ignore the mounting evidence that President Joe Biden is compromised. The evidence coming forward shows a corrupt career politician who traded access for big money through his son, Hunter. Everything Democrats accused Trump of as they went through not one but two impeachments against him, was not true. However, we are learning that suspicions against Biden are true. He, his son, and other members of his family benefitted handsomely from the fact that he was in high political office. It certainly explains how a career politician and a community college teacher can own two homes, one on the beach, and also rent a place in northern Virginia during Jill’s school year. I’m not sure they still do that since Joe is president.

The likelihood of impeachment being successful is not good, given the slim Republican majority in the House and the slim Democrat majority in the Senate. Plus, Biden will have the media on his side. Impeachment proceedings against Biden are justifiable. He likely took bribes to influence or alter U.S. policy. Bribery and treason are both specifically named in the Constitution as impeachable offenses. Millions of dollars exchanged hands while Joe was vice president. Now there comes bank records that shell companies were established and the money was even divided up, to some extent, to Biden’s grandchildren and his son Beau’s widow. It was a family enterprise with Hunter being the salesman and CEO and Joe the company board president.

The White House says there is no evidence, which is what you would expect an aide to say.

“Comparing this to past impeachments isn’t apples to apples or even apples to oranges; it’s apples to elephants,” the White House aide said. “Never in modern history has an impeachment been based on no evidence whatsoever.”

The stacks of evidence lay in the bank records, Hunter’s laptop computer, and emails. Joe Biden assumed not one but three pseudonyms in order to disguise his identity in emails. The pseudonyms are connected to over 5400 emails that we know of now.

Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy said it looks like there is “a culture of corruption that’s been happening within the entire Biden family.” It truly looks to be a crime family.

“If you look at all the information we’ve been able to gather so far, it is a natural step forward that you would have to go to an impeachment inquiry,” McCarthy said Sunday in a Fox News interview. “That provides Congress the apex of legal power to get all the information they need.”

The war room for the impeachment proceedings, if that materializes, is taking guidance from 1998 and Bill Clinton’s impeachment. Democrats want to make Republicans pay a political price for launching impeachment proceedings. Oh no, you don’t think they are promising Jill Biden a Senate seat if she plays the devoted wife in public and rallies Democrats to Joe’s defense, do you? You never know. Jill is Edith Wilson at this point.

The Biden White House’s response unit includes defense attorney Richard Sauber and Russ Anello, the former staff director of the House Oversight Committee. Its public face is the sharp-elbowed communications operative and presidential campaign veteran Ian Sams, who frequently attacks Republican claims on social media, and the pro-Biden group Building Back Together’s former communications director Sharon Yang. It also will soon add incoming White House counsel Ed Siskel, who worked in the Obama-era White House counsel’s office and dealt with GOP probes.

The Biden team’s war room is structured to wall off impeachment and other Republican-led investigations from the broader White House to help allow other administration officials to focus on governing without getting “bogged down in the minutia of ongoing investigations,” as a White House aide described it.

All of the evidence mounting against the Biden family wasn’t dreamed up by a Republican campaign, like Hillary’s campaign did to Trump. Republicans didn’t pay for phony dossiers. The coming evidence against Biden is strong.

I’m skeptical that Republicans will pull it off. Democrats have the majority in the Senate. I think they are concentrating too much on Hunter Biden’s corruptness and not enough on tying Joe to it. The Big Guy is the one who will face impeachment. And, time is running out. We are already into the presidential election season with primary contests coming up in a little more than three months.

Biden still deserves the impeachment proceedings set into motion against him. He’s the poster child of corrupt politicians and should be held accountable.
