CNN's Daniel Dale went through each of the claims made by McCarthy as reasons to open an impeachment inquiry into Biden — and found them lacking for evidence.
Not a big CNN fan, but this is a very well-done dissection.
The strategy here is to be able to say Biden was impeached, just like Trump was, when it comes to 2024. Devalue the process. Neutralize Trump's impeachments. You say Biden's is illegitimate? So does trump about his.
It doesn't matter to this strategy if the claims have any value. It doesn't matter if they never get voted on, either. Just having an inquiry could be enough.
Conservatives love this shit. Every time the left starts using a new term, after about a six month lag the right will start using it, but they're so goddamn stupid they don't know what it means so they just use it as a general insult.
They know exactly what it is. But they want to water it down.
The Trump administration took legitimate concern over fake news stories and changed the idea of "fake news" to be anything that wasn't actively supportive of one's position.

We as a society have a real problem, when one side loses the culture wars, and decides a pyrrhic victory is the way to go, what happens to all of us then.
Absolutely, minimize the whole concept of impeachment AND if you get any new information, (like Hillary's email server being revealed during Benghazi hearings) that's a bonus.
