    They don’t have to find a specific statute to charge him under, but they do have to present some sort of coherent accusation of wrongdoing to avoid looking quite so much like the absolute clowns they are.

      They don’t care about looking like absolute clowns. They only care about appeasing Trump and MAGA base. Both say that Biden needs to be impeached. They don’t care why - just impeach him. If anyone says they look like clowns, they’ll just call those people “woke liberal elites working for Soros globalists” or “RINOs” (depending on whether they are Democrats or Republicans).

      Then, if they lose their elections due to a blue wave, they’ll parrot Trump, claim voter fraud, and demand that they be installed into office because they won when you subtract all the “fraudulent” (read: Democratic) votes.

        Normally I’d agree with everything you said, but the fact that they’re struggling with the impeachment process tells me they do need something more than just saying they don’t like him.

        I paid attention to the legal side of things during Trump’s impeachments, so I’m quite sure “high crimes and misdemeanors” is open-ended and not limited to violating laws passed by Congress. It more or less means they can just make up a crime to fit the circumstances.

        Why then are they struggling to find an accusation to charge him with? If you have another explanation, I’d love to hear it.
