CNN —The initiation of an impeachment investigation against a president ought to be an earthshaking moment in the nation’s history.
Republicans could use an impeachment investigation of the president to fuel public suspicion over Hunter Biden’s cascading controversies.
But the coming impeachment investigation represents a gamble for Republicans since it could cause a backlash in moderate districts that their majority depends on.
Ian Sams, a White House spokesman for oversight and investigations, blasted the impeachment investigation as “extreme politics at its worst.”But the strain of an impeachment inquiry is hardly the way the White House would have preferred to prepare for election year.
If the impeachment investigation does uncover more direct involvement of Joe Biden, condemnations of McCarthy’s action may have been premature.
