Democrats swiftly denounced the decision, but Washington Examiner columnist Byron York brought up an important point: a few years prior, then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had taken a same step by opening an impeachment investigation against then-President Donald Trump.
“On October 15, 2019, three weeks after unilaterally declaring an impeachment inquiry, Speaker Pelosi, backed by Adam Schiff, insisted there was no requirement to hold an authorizing vote, and she would not hold an authorizing vote,” he tweeted.
Pelosi’s heated discussion with MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell over Republican demands to remove President Biden from office because of his purported involvement in his son Hunter’s business dealings.
Despite the achievements of Biden’s administration, Pelosi, who had previously supported Trump’s impeachment, is against the concept.
Andrea Mitchell of MSNBC questioned Pelosi, “How do you feel about the push by the House Republicans—many of them—the Speaker certainly, you know, certainly flirted with this idea of impeachment proceedings against President Biden because of unfounded allegations that he was involved with his son Hunter’s businesses?”
Pelosi attempted to brush off the topic, already agitated, by waving her hands and saying, “Well, let’s just.” Even so, Mitchell went on.
The host added, “As you well know, you were very cautious about starting impeachment proceedings for the very reason that once you start in a special committee or the judiciary committee, it’s very hard to stop that process.”

Pelosi gave the impression that she was unwilling to respond to Mitchell’s query. In response, she said, “With all due respect to your question, this is frivolous; this is a diversionary tactic.”
The Democratic congressman continued by discussing Biden’s financial achievements, saying,
“They just can’t stand the fact we have a job report of over nearly 200,000 jobs today, that unemployment is three-and-a-half percent, that 18 straight months of unemployment are under 4 percent.”
Pelosi added, “We’re talking about 13.4 million jobs created with Joe Biden in the White House and working with the Congressional Democrats.”
She said once more that the GOP is trying to hide these positive aspects of the Biden administration through impeachment, saying,
“They have to change the subject, and they have nothing to offer the American people in terms of jobs and the rest. They talk about it, but then they change the subject when it’s time to deliver.”
She kept going: “It’s really sad. I wish the Republican Party would be—someone would take it back—that we’d have a real Republican Party. It’s up to them to decide what it is. But it shouldn’t be a cult.”
“It shouldn’t be a cult to somebody frivolous with the law and his puppets,” she concluded, clearly referencing Trump.
WATCH:
At a September House Freedom Caucus news conference, Representative Scott Perry (R-Pa.) responded angrily to a reporter. The reporter had questioned the veracity of the House Republicans’ justification for opening the investigation.
“What actual evidence do you have as opposed to allegations to show to the American public that would merit an actual impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden and prove that today isn’t just about some of you?” A reporter asked off-camera.
Perry shot out, “Oh, I don’t know,” as the interviewer continued, implying that Republicans were only “enacting political revenge” on Democrats for impeaching former President Donald Trump.
“This isn’t about political revenge. We have the bank accounts we can see, ma’am. You can see that the homes that the Bidens own can’t be afforded on a congressional or Senate salary. You also understand that it’s not normal for family members to receive millions of dollars from overseas interests,” In response, Perry became more heated and furious.
“Those things aren’t normal. That’s not normal. We have 20 shell country companies; these things are not normal. And it alludes to not only widespread corruption but also money laundering, if not influence peddling itself,” he continued.
The top Republican on the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, Sen. Ron Johnson, stated to Just the News this week ; “banks filed at least six reports concerning Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings that flagged President Joe Biden’s home address in Delaware and raised concerns about possible criminal activity involving money laundering or human trafficking,” the outlet reported.
He also said “that the Suspicious Activity Reports (SARS) chronicled about $12 million in transactions over several years, some of which passed through Joe Biden’s Wilmington, Del., home where he had allowed his son to stay,” The outlet made further notes.
If nothing else, Johnson claimed that Joe Biden would have known his son was using his house as a business and banking address if mail had been sent to the address.
He further said that there are sufficient grounds for House impeachment investigators to look into Joe Biden’s connection in his son’s international transactions.
