Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the ranking Democrat member of the House \u200cCommittee on Oversight\u2063 and Reform, seemed to conveniently forget his own words when he \u2062argued that Republicans should\u200c have a full floor vote before starting an impeachment inquiry.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2062 Oversight Committee recently\u2064 held its first impeachment inquiry hearing into President \u2063Joe Biden&#8217;s alleged public corruption and bribery involving payments from overseas interests.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve had to slide awkwardly into \u200ba House impeachment process without the benefit of the\u200c floor vote that Speaker [Kevin] McCarthy insisted\u200d was\u200d absolutely imperative and necessary when \u200bDonald Trump was impeached,&#8221; Raskin said in his opening remarks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s exactly what has not\u200b happened here, because they don&#8217;t have the votes, because dozens of Republicans recognize\u200c what\u2064 a futile and absurd \u2062process this is,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Raskin conveniently failed to mention that a vote for an impeachment inquiry against Trump took place on October 31, 2019, but \u200bthen-House Speaker Nancy \u2063Pelosi authorized a formal impeachment inquiry more than a month before, on September 24.<\/p>\n<p>According to Politico,\u200b Pelosi lacked support within \u2062her caucus to bring the matter to the floor for a \u2064vote, which is why she proceeded without one.<\/p>\n<p>Raskin, a former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/abbott-signs-heartbeat-bill-allowing-texans-to-sue-abortion-providers\/\" title=\"Abbott Signs \u2018Heartbeat\u2019 Bill Allowing Texans To Sue Abortion Providers\">constitutional law professor<\/a>, backed up Pelosi&#8217;s decision, stating that\u2062 there is no\u2063 formal requirement for how an impeachment inquiry should begin.<\/p>\n<p>During a recent \u200bhearing, George Washington Law \u2063School professor Jonathan Turley\u200c testified that the\u2064 Oversight Committee does have enough evidence to justify \u200dmoving forward\u2062 with an investigation\u200b into President Biden.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;This is a question of an impeachment inquiry.

According \u200dto Politico, Pelosi lacked support within her caucus to bring the matter to the \u2064floor for a vote, which\u200c is why she proceeded without one. Raskin conveniently ignored this fact while \u2064making his\u200d argument.<\/p>\n<p>Raskin, a former constitutional law professor, also backed up Pelosi&#8217;s decision, \u200dstating that there \u200bis no\u200c formal requirement for\u2062 how an impeachment inquiry should begin. It seems he conveniently forgot his own previous stance on this matter.<\/p>\n<p>During a recent hearing, \u2062George Washington \u2064Law School professor Jonathan\u200c Turley testified that the Oversight Committee does have\u200b enough evidence to justify\u2063 moving\u200d forward with an investigation into President Biden. \u200cTurley explained, &#8220;This is a question of an impeachment inquiry. It \u2063is not a vote on articles of impeachment. In fact, \u2062I do not believe that the current\u200c evidence would \u2064support articles of impeachment. That is something that an inquiry has to establish.&#8221; He also believes that the House has passed the threshold for an \u200cimpeachment inquiry into the\u2064 conduct of President Biden, citing three reasons: Biden&#8217;s false statements about his\u2063 knowledge of\u2062 his son&#8217;s business dealings, his alleged \u200cinvolvement in an influence-peddling scheme, \u200dand the potential personal benefit he may\u2062 have received from these payments.<\/p>\n<p>In light of this\u200b testimony, it\u2062 is \u2064clear that the investigation into President Biden should \u2064continue to determine\u2064 if he or his family \u200dreceived compromising payments from \u200doverseas interests. If there is substantial evidence to support\u200b these allegations, then impeachment may be necessary.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, \u200bRepresentative Jamie Raskin&#8217;s words have come back to haunt him during the Biden impeachment \u200dinquiry. He conveniently forgot his own stance on\u200c the necessity of a floor vote before \u200bstarting an impeachment inquiry, \u200dand also failed to mention the \u2064previous impeachment inquiry against Trump that did not have a formal floor vote. It is crucial that the investigation into President Biden&#8217;s alleged corruption and bribery continues to ensure the truth is uncovered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
