Kevin McCarthy: Another Flim-Flam Man

 The disgust-level continues to pile higher around the barnyard-waste bin that is D.C.

...Republicans in the House will be utilizing more investigative and subpoena tools to get everything they believe they will need to score an impeachment against Joe Biden. At least, that's how it's supposed to look to you and me....

Yup.  When you have to look for the mark, you ARE the mark.

We knew, as soon as McCarthy opened his lying mouth, that he was covering for something.  Sure enough....

 ...Yesterday, news broke that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was planning to tell the conference in a closed-door meeting that he would endorse an impeachment inquiry. That meeting was supposed to happen on Thursday, according to the reports at the time. But after the news broke, it appeared that McCarthy moved up his timeline and announced it immediately. However, while the Speaker told everyone this was about justice, behind the scenes it appears this is about putting out multiple fires of his own....

OK, then.  Why did he do it?

...An impeachment inquiry is his only option, but it is a distraction. While conservatives can scratch the itch of attempting to take down a president every Republican believes is corrupt, McCarthy has essentially ensured that they can't let the government shut down now.

You can't get documents, transcripts, emails, and other important information from executive branch departments that are closed due to a government shutdown. There's the rub: In order to scratch the impeachment itch, you have to keep the government open....

Not just 'keep the government open.'  No, Susie, it's far worse than that; McCarthy wants to spend, spend, spend, using a "continuing resolution" instead of a budget, and he wants to spend, spend, spend, the money that he backroom-promised to Bai-Den.

Just another flim-flam man in the offal-tank which is D.C.
