House Republicans are charging full speed ahead with their impeachment inquiry into President Biden, but there’s a Republican senator who’s not ready to jump on the impeachment bandwagon just yet.
GOP senator says Biden 'may not be' impeachable since he wasn't in office during accused actions – https://t.co/6eB7CPp0RX

Senator Markwayne Mullin, a Republican from Oklahoma, is cautioning his colleagues that President Biden might not be impeachable, even if they have their pitchforks ready. He’s saying that if the President committed a crime, it had to be while he was in office, not when he was just a regular Joe. That’s right, folks, Senator Mullin is keeping the impeachment hype in check, reminding everyone that they need to bring a “convictable” case to the table, and the bar for that is set higher than a giraffe’s neck.
The House Republicans have really ramped up the drama this week by voting to give their impeachment inquiry the green light, all based on allegations that President Biden got himself into some shady business deals with foreign powers. It’s like they’re playing their very own political soap opera, and we’re all just waiting to see if this story line actually goes anywhere.
Now, this whole investigation has been led by three House committees filled with Republican fire and fury, and they’ve been digging into Mr. Biden and his family’s business dealings with the energy of a pack of hungry wolves. They’re howling about whether Mr. Biden used his power as vice president to give his son a leg up in business. The Republican investigators claim to have hit the jackpot, unearthing bank records showing the Biden family and friends rolling in $24 million from foreign deals and trying to cover their tracks like a bunch of sneaky little squirrels hiding their acorns.
By giving the inquiry the official stamp of approval, the committees get more muscle in their efforts to demand information and can better shield themselves from any pesky court challenges. The Republicans are selling it like the ultimate power move in their game of political chess, a way to bust through the White House’s attempts to block their efforts by holding back witnesses and a mountain of documents.
But hold onto your cowboy hats, because the House Republicans are swearing up and down that the outcome of this inquiry isn’t a done deal. They’re taking a slow and steady approach to unveiling what they claim is some serious monkey business in the Biden camp. It’s like they’re trying to build a case as solid as a brick house to make sure they’re not just blowing smoke.
Even if they manage to kick up enough dust to actually file articles of impeachment, there’s still a big ol’ roadblock standing in their way. Representative Ralph Norman from South Carolina, a Republican with a knack for laying it on the line, is reminding everyone that the Senate is like a dragon’s den controlled by the Democrats. He’s wondering out loud if they can even rustle up enough votes to throw the book at President Biden, painting a pretty grim picture of their chances. It’s like a reality check smacking anyone who thinks this whole impeachment circus is a guaranteed hit.
