    I predict this exchange between a reporter and McCarthy…

    “What evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors do you have to go forward with impeachment?”

    “In two words - Hunter Biden.”

    The right-wing doesn’t need a real reason or even a reason that makes sense. They just need something that can fit on bumper sticker. Plus - there’s the added benefit that mocking norms and not even pretending about the way things should work drives libs insane.

    So the right wing media will make a big deal out of any findings, which will probably have some corruption uncovered but of the vanilla, boilerplate variety everyone does in DC, the conservative base will get frothy over it, the libs will Nothingburger it, everyone else will see it as more “both parties are corrupt” background noise, impeached in the house, senate acquits.

      If this happens he should be impeached and convicted. I am SO fucking over poo-pooing fucking federal corruption scandals. I don’t care if they’re all doing it. Even more reason. Kushner should’ve been put on trial.
