Marjorie Taylor Greene says impeachment inquiry will convince Republicans to push Biden out

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) claimed Friday that an inquiry into the possible impeachment of President Joe Biden would change the minds of House Republicans who currently oppose the idea.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) expressed interest in launching the inquiry as more allegations of bribery and corruption against the president become public. Hunter Biden’s best friend in business, Devon Archer, recently validated claims that then-Vice President Biden would knowingly get on calls with his son to help “sell” the Biden brand.
BIDEN AND REPUBLICANS DUKE IT OUT TO DEFINE THE ECONOMY
“I think the impeachment inquiry is really important,” Greene told Breitbart. “The impeachment inquiry will show the public even more information. It will help get those Republican members that we have to the point where they will be there for impeachment.”
Greene said a few Republicans in the House are still against impeaching the president — enough that they could tank an impeachment vote by stopping the party from passing the 218 votes threshold. If a vote to impeach does pass the House in the future, the next step of removing Biden from office would take place in the Senate, which is controlled by Democrats.
“The whole purpose of them calling for an impeachment inquiry is to push the [members] that won’t do it,” Greene added. “So, it is a really important process.”
Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee support the opening of an impeachment inquiry, and Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) called for his party to hold all members of the Biden administration who are corrupt accountable. Other members claimed it was the committee’s job to launch an impeachment investigation.

“We continue to learn about the corruption of the Biden crime family and how deep and wide that corruption seems to go,” Judiciary Committee member Harriet Hageman (R-WY) said. “With the revelations of the past several weeks and the increasing pace of new information leading towards the ‘big guy’ being directly involved, it is incumbent upon the Judiciary Committee to immediately open an impeachment investigation.”
A timeline for when the House would open its inquiry is not clear, and both chambers are currently out for their August recess.
