Yesterday, House Representative Greg Steube (R-Fla.) filed articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden for his involvement in Hunter’s corrupt foreign business dealings.

Representative Steube’s articles included four charges: abuse of power, obstruction of justice, fraud, and financial involvement in drugs and prostitution. (Drugs and prostitution?) Each charge listed facts developed by House Republicans evidencing Biden’s corrupt behavior.

In the U.S.’s 247-year history, there have only been four presidential impeachments — and three of them happened just in the last 24 years.

It is not yet clear whether House Speaker Kevin McCarthy will allow Steube’s articles to move forward, but McCarthy has recently expressed openness to an “impeachment inquiry” to give the House more leverage to fully investigate the Biden Bribery scandal.

Still, even if House Republicans do take up the charge, Biden’s impeachment appears doomed in the democrat-controlled Senate. Even Republicans are squishy. Last weekend, Republican minority leader Mitch McConnell, who has lately been tumbling down hotel stairways and robotically freezing up during media statements, said he opposes impeachment. “Impeachment ought to be rare,” McConnell explained. “This is not good for the country.”

Given how they minutely covered every single second of the Trump impeachment stories, you’d think corporate media would be interested in articles of impeachment having been filed against Biden. But so far there is a corporate media blackout on Representative Steube’s recently-filed articles. Neither the New York Times, the Washington Post, nor the Wall Street Journal covered the story yesterday or today.

For some reason.

Fox and Friends interviewed legal commentator Jonathan Turley, who explained why the media’s cover for Biden probably isn’t going to work. Corporate media has been witlessly reduced to arguing, “you can’t prove Joe actually got the money,” but as Turley explains, doing it to help your family is also bribery. The media fell into a trap.

Was Steube acting alone, a rogue ultra-conservative Congressman wildly firing off at Biden? Or are the articles part of a coordinated plan to get the impeachment ball rolling? I’d feel more comfortable saying it could be the latter if the drug and prostitution count had been omitted. But still, it’s progress.

Under pressure, Cheatle admitted July 13th was a colossal failure and “the most significant operational failure at the Secret Service in decades.” But it wasn’t her failure. Mistakes were made.

Then, late yesterday, Florida Representative Greg Staube (R-Fl.) introduced historic articles of impeachment against Director Cheatle, as the Hill reported in a story headlined, “Florida Republican says he filed articles of impeachment against Secret Service director.”

No Secret Service Director has ever been impeached in all of U.S. history.
