Report: White House Sets Up Impeachment War Room

Facts

• The US White House has ramped up efforts to prepare against a potential impeachment inquiry, setting up a war room of two dozen lawyers, legislative aides, and communications staffers to fight against a potential Republican-led inquiry, according to an NBC News report published Friday.¹
• A White House aide familiar with the plan told NBC News that the White House has been preparing for an impeachment inquiry into Pres. Joe Biden ever since Republicans took control of the House earlier this year, and prominent Republicans like Speaker Kevin McCarthy have floated a potential inquiry.²
• The House has been investigating Biden and his son Hunter over their business dealings while Biden was vice president and claims that Biden accepted foreign bribes while his son worked overseas.³
• Last week, McCarthy called an impeachment inquiry a “natural step forward,” but the White House claims that Republicans have no evidence.⁴
• Conservative Republicans like former Pres. Donald Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene have aggressively pushed for the House to pursue an impeachment inquiry, with Rep. Greene refusing to vote to fund the government if an inquiry isn’t launched.⁵
• Past impeachments of Presidents Clinton and Trump in 1998 and 2020, respectively, boosted their respective approval ratings, and some moderate Republicans are skeptical about pursuing impeachment in districts that Biden won in 2020.⁴

Narratives

• Republican narrative, as provided by FOX News. Democrats ran on a platform to impeach Trump without any tangible reason and are now silencing hard evidence and testimonies from whistleblowers about the extensive corruption that permeates the Biden family. Evidence suggests Joe Biden accepted bribes while he was vice president, and he refuses to cooperate with congressional investigations. Impeachment is the only solution to this problem.
• Democratic narrative, as provided by MSNBC. The GOP is playing an extremely predictable political game by trying to impeach Pres. Biden with no evidence. With no record to run on and a criminal as the frontrunner for its presidential nomination, the GOP has to resort to desperate measures that are out of touch with the real issues that Washington currently faces. The American people will easily see through this game, and it will only backfire on Republicans.
