During an appearance on “Fox & Friends Weekend,” Speaker Johnson and House GOP conference chair Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) discussed a possible floor vote on a formal impeachment investigation this month.

“It’s become a necessary step. Elise and I both served on the impeachment defense team of Donald Trump twice when the Democrats used it for brazen, partisan political purposes. We decried that use of it. This is very different. Remember, we are the rule of law team. We have to do it very methodically.”

Johnson told Fox News that a “formal impeachment inquiry vote on the floor will allow [Republicans] to take it to the next necessary step,” adding: “I think it’s something we have to do at this juncture.”

“Our three committees of jurisdiction — Judiciary, Oversight, Ways and Means — have been doing an extraordinary job following the evidence where it leads. But now we’re being stonewalled by the White House because they’re preventing at least two to three DOJ witnesses from coming forward, a former White House counsel, the National Archives . . . the White House has withheld thousands of pages of evidence.”

Johnson made it clear that the White House is deliberately stonewalling.

Some House Republicans had said on Friday that Biden’s impeachment inquiry might come before the December recess.

Meantime, the media is knocking themselves out, bragging about Joe Biden’s success and gaslighting us about Bidenomics and the border.

Terrorists, disease, welfare recipients, and crime are the biggest benefits of open borders. Can you name others?
