One of the worst mistakes political movements can make, at least in a constitutional republic, is the error of overkill. In that light, it would be monumentally stupid for House Republicans to rush into an impeachment inquiry regarding President Joe Biden.
To be clear, the mistake would be of both substance and politics. The former ought to be more important, but it is the latter consideration that should convince most Republican politicians not to slake their political bloodlust so quickly in this way.House Republicans already are doing a good job, in their legitimate oversight capacity, of exposing the Biden family’s ethical problems. They need no impeachment inquiry to keep doing so.
A separate column should be written about why nothing known about the Bidens quite rises even to the level of considering impeachment. For now, suffice it to say that a vice president knowing about his son’s influence peddling and lying about it is not necessarily a crime nor a systemic offense of the sort the Founding Fathers envisioned when they made presidents subject to impeachment and removal. Some of us, for three years, have consistently blasted Biden Inc.
The most obvious example of this phenomenon came when Republicans let themselves look like rabid dogs during the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal of 1998. Some of us warned then that even if impeachment was appropriate, which it was, it was sheer political idiocy to treat the whole situation as if the point was to crush Clinton rather than to protect the judicial and constitutional system.
