We know that Hunter Biden has spent the last decade jet-setting around random countries as a drug addict while paying prostitutes, and he\u2019s been picking up bags of cash from foreign boards while calling his daddy on the phone to prove their connection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We know tens of millions of dollars have flooded to Hunter\u2019s connected businesses or directly to him. We know Hunter texted his own daughter suggesting he paid his dad\u2019s bills. We know all of these things. The only thing missing is the \u201csmoking gun,\u201d namely some sort of transaction between one of Hunter Biden\u2019s businesses and Joe Biden\u2019s direct bank account. But \u2014 it doesn\u2019t require that to prove bribery or corruption.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Democrats broke the mold when they decided they were going to impeach Donald Trump without actually alleging a crime. Not once, but twice. They said, \u201cWe are not going to attempt to push even a prosecutorial motion of what crime was committed.\u201d No statute was actually cited in either of the impeachment papers that were filed. Instead, they were general accusations of corruption and general accusations of pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They could do that because that\u2019s what impeachment is. It\u2019s a political process. But once you say you don\u2019t actually have to allege a crime in order to push impeachment and then you do it twice, why would you think it\u2019s not going to come around and clock you again? They broke the glass. The glass is still broken.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/show\/the-ben-shapiro-show\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show<\/a><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here\u2019s the reality: If Republicans did not do the same thing in reverse, Democrats would just continue to do this over and over, because there are two possibilities in terms of going back to the status quo when people didn\u2019t randomly just impeach the president of the opposing party.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Possibility number <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">one<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Everyone goes weapons down unless there\u2019s an actual full-scale crime committed that could theoretically be prosecuted but realistically couldn\u2019t be \u2014\u00a0because the president of the United States is immune to federal prosecution. That would be the better status quo: We don\u2019t prosecute every president or ex-president unless they actually commit a federal crime, and it has to be completely evenhanded in how we pursue justice. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Possibility number<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> two<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: We impeach everybody. From here until the end of time, we impeach everybody. I suppose we can live with that too. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s the best thing for the country, but I suppose we can do that. That is where we are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">McCarthy had suggested recently that if he were going to move on an impeachment inquiry, he would do so with a House vote. Then he didn\u2019t do so with the House vote. He just declared he had opened an impeachment inquiry. McCarthy may not actually have a majority in the House to open the impeachment inquiry. He has an incredibly slim majority in the House of Representatives right now. All he has to do is lose five Republicans and he doesn\u2019t have a majority in support of an impeachment inquiry. So instead, he\u2019s doing it without a vote.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The problem is, if you don\u2019t have support to open an impeachment inquiry, you may be writing a check that you can\u2019t cash because an impeachment inquiry that doesn\u2019t end with an impeachment looks like an exoneration. And that would look terrible for Republicans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So why launch the inquiry? The principled reason is that you think you\u2019re actually going to get more information via the impeachment inquiry than you would otherwise. Tons of evidence exists that Joe and Hunter Biden were involved in bargaining together, and they might find that the DOJ was pressuring people like David Weiss to cut a sweetheart deal with Hunter to kill any investigation into his relationship with his dad financially. That\u2019s likely why McCarthy is talking about not just corruption or abuse of power, but also obstruction of justice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then there\u2019s another reason, and that is, McCarthy is under severe fire right now from the Matt Gaetz wing of the party. It\u2019s a small wing, but Gaetz is putting a tremendous amount of pressure on McCarthy with regard to spending, and he\u2019s threatening his speakership right now in this quixotic quest. If they want to supplant McCarthy, they need to articulate what concessions they want from him; if they are truly conservative and he refuses to agree, then they have a case. To yell without a plan makes no sense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But one way for Kevin McCarthy to avoid that sort of pressure is to go back to the base and say, \u201cListen, I don\u2019t know what you want from me. I\u2019m giving you what you want. I\u2019m giving you an impeachment inquiry. I\u2019m going after Joe Biden. Who\u2019s your alternative?\u201d So he opens the impeachment inquiry and thus avoids the speakership fight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The inquiry tells Biden: We know you\u2019re corrupt and we are going to come after you with whatever powers we have at our disposal. And that is not a bad thing, ultimately. I think that it is a very worthwhile thing: mutually assured destruction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If Democrats keep impeaching Republican presidents repeatedly just because they don\u2019t like them, then we\u2019re going to do the same thing to your guys.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And we\u2019ll see just how much you like it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced there would be an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden surrounding all of his activities with his son Hunter as well as the cover-up that\u2019s been attempted by the DOJ of any investigation into Hunter\u2019s activities.
