House Republicans are preparing to formalize their impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden with a House vote this week, as their investigation reaches a critical juncture while right-wing pressure grows.
Up until this point, House Republicans have not had enough votes to legitimize their ongoing inquiry with a full chamber vote.
Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy unilaterally launched the inquiry in September. The dynamics for House Republicans changed, however, when the White House told the trio of GOP-led congressional committees leading the investigation, that its subpoenas were illegitimate without a formal House vote to authorize the inquiry.
Also potentially bolstering the GOP inquiry: Last week’s tax indictment against the President's son, Hunter Biden, which overlapped with many of the alleged financial imports and overseas business deals that Republicans have intensely scrutinized with their own probes.

The argument from Republican proponents of the effort, is that a floor vote will strengthen their legal standing against the White House and fortify their subpoenas targeting witnesses like Hunter Biden, the president’s son, who has signaled he will NOT appear for his scheduled closed-door deposition this week.
House Republicans are gearing up for a showdown with the president’s son this week over his testimony.
While committee chairmen have demanded Hunter Biden appear for a closed-door deposition on December 13, Hunter Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, has told Congress his client is only willing to appear for a public hearing.
If Biden does not appear on Wednesday, Comer said he will hold the president’s son in contempt of Congress for evading his subpoena, taking the standoff to a breaking point.

As for HUNTER, will Biden-Garland do the right thing and hold him in contempt of Congress,

As for the kid, sure he will show. He did say he wanted to do it in public. Why would the committee want to keep it secret. What could be gained from that other than investigative fraud.

I hope the House goes ahead and take the vote. Do it for crying out loud, take the vote.

Funny but true.

No, he will not, as he would then have to explain why he never held Gym Jordan and others in contempt for also ignoring subpoenas! Just a witch hunt from a failing and desperate GOP!
