There is a reason the issue of impeaching President Biden has finally come into the spotlight, and it isn’t what you may think. The Republicans have neither the spine nor the skills to pull off an impeachment, even with a teed-up softball like this. Democrats want the threat of impeachment without the impeachment itself, but Republicans can call their bluff.

I often said I would fear being grilled by Trey Gowdy in a congressional hearing. He was excellent at his job and was brutal in cross-examination. But despite all the information and even drop-dead proof he generated, no one has even been charged, much less brought to justice. Big hat, no cattle. No spine.
Add to that Hillary Clinton’s activities that, as James Comey demonstrated during his July 5, 2016, press conference—were egregious and worthy of prison. I was cheering, “Finally!” as I listened, right up until his unexpected statement that no reasonable prosecutor would indict her.
The Republicans have proof that Biden allegedly sold his office (usually to political enemies) for monetary gain. He and his family allegedly avoided paying income taxes on those payments, and running afoul of the IRS is a bigger crime than treason these days. There appears to be enough to impeach and convict him. Does this mean that the Republicans are finally growing a spine, even for a softball served up for them so neatly?

Think again. The current Republican investigation is not what it seems, and that’s because of the Democrats.
The Democrats have a problem, which is they cannot let Joe run in 2024. Although impeachment seems like a solution, it’s not. If he were impeached, Kamala Harris would complete Biden’s term as the incumbent (SFX: Sound of ‘hilarity ensuing’). At that point, they can’t try to deep-six her for 2024, because they risk the base condemning them for racism and gender crimes, something that terrifies the left. What to do?
Democrats must wreck Biden politically. His face-saving step will be to announce he is retiring and won’t run due to ‘health reasons.’ If the Democrats have time to find a suitable candidate, it won’t be Harris.
Logic, therefore, shows that it’s the Democrats who are driving and exploiting revelations about Biden’s corruption. As proof, notice that the same media and social media outlets that once silenced this information, and a DOJ that ignored it in the lead-up to the 2020 election, are now helping expose it. Amazingly after three years of aggressive denials, these same outlets and agencies are confirming that Hunter Biden’s laptop is legitimate. Really?
That is why the Republican impeachment threat is a misdirection and doesn’t reflect Republican spinal growth. The Democrats and media control the spigot on what gets attention. The Republicans are just the patsies who can be blamed.
