WaPo: Biden To Call For Trump’s Impeachment If He Refuses To Comply With Info Requests

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Tuesday will call for the House to impeach President Donald Trump if the President continues to stonewall the congressional investigation into his phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to the Washington Post.

A day late and a dollar short. Well, more than one day, and more than one dollar.

It’s the right move for Biden and the country. It’s somewhat ironic that moderates jumped on board when their favorite candidate was targeted partly in response to a fear that the top alternative to Biden at present, the pro-impeachment Warren, is not viewed by said moderates as a good choice for them to hold their districts.

One thing that Biden has that Hillary didn’t: a willingness of folks to lean in to defend him. That’s working out well for the party at the moment.

Just like I though… seems like Ukraine was a major source of confrontation between Trump and Bolton.

Where in the hell was Biden’s voice calling for impeachment when the WH criminal mob refused to testify before the House committee and Mueller and refused to turn over documents? And when they refused to allow the FBI to fully investigate the rapist on the court? 65 million plus Americans want to know what is different now? Because it’s you, Biden and your son? Full disclosure while not supporting Biden, I think he and his son are innocent of Repubs allegations.

WTH. We have been shouting from the rooftops for 3 years. More if you count the time the media developed “but her emails”.

Maybe there is another obvious difference. Just saying!

It makes the internet very mad, but I think now is almost precisely the right time to be doing this.

A good reminder that Twitter is only a tiny tiny slice of real life.

So many calls for impeachment.
So little action.
Words. More words. No action.

What does it matter if Biden calls for impeachment?

Several other candidates have already done so…Both Harris & Warren have.

Whoop-dee-damn-do…that Biden finally does so.

What Biden needs to do is focus on whistleblower scandal.
Demand release of whistleblower complaint which includes SEVERAL incidences.

Denounce release of a Barr redacted manuscript of the call.
What good is a manuscript without knowing what complainant says?

Impeachment is Johnny come lately issue for Biden.
He has yet to be out front on any issue…sigh

My wing of the party is not happy. Not with Biden, not with Sanders and not with Warren.

Huh. Only… [checks watch] five months and five days behind Warren. With a conditional. Way to show the world you’re still spry and on top of things, my dude.
