Knockin’ on Kevin’s Door

“I am directing our House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. This logical next step will give our committees the full power to gather all the facts and answers.” So said House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, held hostage by Trump and the most extreme members of his party (who are threatening to remove him as Speaker), as he announced that the House would start an impeachment inquiry into President Biden. This was predictable, but that doesn’t make it any less troubling.
