Ed Kilgore: Impeachment Inquiry is about Placating the MAGA Base

You almost can't make this shit up:

n December 13, the U.S. House narrowly approved a formal “impeachment inquiry” aimed at Joe Biden on a strict party-line vote. It is universally understood that Republicans do not and may never have the votes to actually impeach Biden. Even if they did, he would easily survive a trial in the Senate, where a two-thirds vote is required for conviction barring some weird, lurid revelation far beyond the scope of anything presently being alleged.
So by definition, this “inquiry” is at best an authorization of a fishing expedition for evidence of misconduct that doesn’t seem to exist at the moment.

Let's see that on instant replay:

Democrats will not vote to convict Biden even if he's guilty

Therefore:

There is no evidence that Biden is guilty

The mind, it reels...
