Georgia conservative Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Thursday made good on her promise to file articles of impeachment against President Biden.
The freshman Republican, who has supported QANON conspiracy theories and criticized the 25,000 National Guard deployed to Washington D.C. to protect the presidential inauguration, took to Twitter to make her announcement.
“I’ve just filed articles of impeachment on President Joe Biden, we will see how this goes,” Greene said.
Congresswoman Greene released the following statement:
“President Joe Biden is unfit to hold the office of the Presidency. His pattern of abuse of power as President Obama’s Vice President is lengthy and disturbing. President Biden has demonstrated that he will do whatever it takes to bail out his son, Hunter, and line his family’s pockets with cash from corrupt foreign energy companies.
President Biden is even on tape admitting to a quid pro quo with the Ukrainian government threatening to withhold $1,000,000,000 in foreign aid if they did not do his bidding. President Biden residing in the White House is a threat to national security and he must be immediately impeached.”
The case against President Joe Biden is vast and detailed:
Joe Biden abused the power of the Office of the Vice President, enabling bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors, by allowing his son to influence the domestic policy of a foreign nation and accept various benefits—including financial compensation—from foreign nationals in exchange for certain favors.
The evidence of widespread knowledge, corruption, and collusion on behalf of the Biden family with foreign nationals is clear and compelling.
As Vice President, Joe Biden was the senior Obama Administration official overseeing anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine. Hence, any illegal activity involving corruption conducted by Hunter Biden within or in relation to Ukraine would fall under the purview of the Office of Vice President Biden and the Obama State Department’s anti-corruption efforts. In fact, many State Department officials within the Obama Administration repeatedly registered reservations about Hunter Biden’s role on the board of a corrupt company. Thus, any instances of corruption on behalf of Hunter Biden via his role as a board member of the Ukrainian-operated Burisma energy firm were intentionally not investigated or covered up.
In 2016, Ukraine’s top anti-corruption prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, had an active and ongoing investigation into Burisma and its owner, Mykola Zlochevsky. At the time, Hunter Biden continued to serve on Burisma’s board of directors. According to news reports, then Vice-President Biden “threatened to withhold $1 billion in United States loan guarantees if Ukraine’s leaders did not dismiss [Shokin].” After that, Ukraine’s Parliament fired Shokin.
During his father’s vice presidency, Hunter Biden built many business relationships with foreign nationals and received millions of dollars from foreign sources, seemingly in exchange for access to his father. The financial transactions which Hunter engaged in illustrates serious counterintelligence and extortion concerns relating to Hunter Biden and his family.
President Biden gravely endangered the security of the United States and its institutions of government. Through blatant nepotism, he enabled his son to influence foreign policy and financially benefit as a result of his role as Vice President. He supported his son engaging in collusion with Chinese Communist party-linked officials. He allowed his son to trade appointments with his father and other high-ranking administration officials in exchange for financial compensation. He permitted his son to take money from Russian oligarchs, including Elena Baturina, the wife of the former mayor of Moscow.

Go get ’em Madam Congresswoman!
Does she think she’s going to get a 2/3 majority of Congress? She’s dreaming.
😋what a circus this is…
My apologies to any of you who may happen to run a circus…no insult intended to your honorable profession.
President Joe Biden is unfit to hold the office of the Presidency We unequivocally & so strongly agree with you Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and you have our full backing in your mission to impeach this burglar biden.
Beware of consequences, Congresswoman Greene. Should President Biden be impeached, Camila Harris will become President.
Her policies are much more liberal progressive than President Biden’s.
איזהו חכם? הרואה את הנולד
“C’mon man”🙄 lol
Thank you (unnamed editor of YWN) for passing this looneybat’s rantings off as news without providing context. Specifically that the entire premise of what she says is a lie, and it’s known by all Republicans to be a lie because they were part of it. Here is a letter, verbatim, from Senator Portman’s (R) office dated February 12, 2016. Four days after this letter, Shokin resigned. You can verify the letter on Sen. Portman’s official senate website, along with the signees (who said they forgot about the letter in 2019).
“Dear President Poroshenko,
As members of the U.S. Senate Ukraine Caucus and strong supporters of your government, we write to express our concern regarding the recent resignation of Minister of Economy Aivaras Abromavi?ius and his allegations of persistent corruption in the Ukrainian political system.
During the past year, Mr. Abromavi?ius and his team implemented tough but necessary economic reforms, worked to combat endemic corruption, and promoted more openness and transparency in government. He was known to many of us as a respected reformer and supporter of the Ukrainian cause. Minister Abromavi?ius’s allegations raise concerns about the enormous challenges that remain in your efforts to reform the corrupt system you inherited.
We recognize that your governing coalition faces not only endemic corruption left from decades of mismanagement and cronyism, but also an illegal armed seizure of territory by Russia and its proxies. Tackling such obstacles to reforms amidst a war and the loss of much of southeastern Ukraine’s economic productivity is a formidable challenge — one which we remain committed to helping you overcome.
Succeeding in these reforms will show Russian President Vladimir Putin that an independent, transparent, and democratic Ukraine can and will succeed. It also offers a stark alternative to the authoritarianism and oligarchic cronyism prevalent in Russia. As such, we respectfully ask that you address the serious concerns raised by Minister Abromavi?ius. We similarly urge you to press ahead with URGENT REFORMS TO THE PROSECUTOR GENERAL’S OFFICE and judiciary. The unanimous adoption by the Cabinet of Ministers of the Basic Principles and Action Plan is a good step.
We very much appreciate your leadership and commitment to reform since the Ukrainian people demonstrated their resolve on the Maidan two years ago, and we look forward to continued cooperation in the future.
Signed: Senators Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), co-chairs of the bipartisan Senate Ukraine Caucus, and Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Senators Ron Johnson (R-WI), Chris Murphy (D-CT), Mark Kirk (R-IL), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), and Sherrod Brown (D-OH)”
In other words, it was the bipartisan US policy in 2016 that Shokin was corrupt and had to be removed. It was the policy of the EU. When then-VP Biden made the public statement about withholding government money, it was because the US Senate (led by Republicans at the time) told everyone this was the policy. And it worked… four days later Shokin resigned. Further, if you read the 57-page report of the Bipartisan Ukraine Committee issued in March 2016 (also available on the US Senate website for all to read), you will see that the reason for the threatened sanctions was because Shokin was NOT investigating Burisma.
How stupid does this dingbat think we are? That we forgot the facts and reality that are publicly available to see from 2016? How stupid are so many conservatives to go along with it? How vile are the Republicans who were so proud to tout their criticism of the corrupt Ukrainian regime in 2016, only to “forget” about it was they wanted to lick Trump’s boots and go after Biden (for enforcing THEIR policy) in 2019.
As the Qanon groups were saying on Wednesday, “we were lied to!” Yes, you were lied to. You’re being lied to. And if don’t screw your heads on properly you’ll continue to be lied to.
She is a complete idiot, playing to her worthless base, the same ones who stormed the Capitol.
The bill will fail.
Why don’t you mention that sbe is also an anti-semite as you usualy do?
It is time for President Biden and his fellow Democrats to get a taste of what purely partisan impeachment feels like. Although we know in advance that this proposal will get nowhere, it should give them pause, to remember, how fragile their majority really is. Historically, the party out of power gains in the midterm elections. So in just 2 years, the Republican may be the majority power in both houses. If purely partisan impeachment becomes the norm, Biden (or Harris) can expect the same treatment in the not too distant future.
Is this story even worth covering? There are idiots at both ends of the political spectrum who have less relevance than the guy on the street shouting “the world is ending” and asking you for 5 bucks for a last Starbucks. She is already being shunned by most Republicans but will certainly get a lot of airtime by OAN.
Thank you republicans for giving us some the most corrupt, incompetent and imbecilic office holders in the history of the nation.

Where is Shokin named anywhere in the letter? And are you trying to give the impression that either Shokin’s predecessor, or his successor (or nearly anyone else in the government), were the least bit better – yet they were never targeted and kept in office for years. And Shokin barely got his feet wet in the job before the infamous Biden incident.
She is creating havoc in congress with whom no one agrees being an anti-semite deserves to be expelled.
L’shitas the congresswoman, lu yitzuyar everything was true and Biden is a crook, don’t you need a crime committed during presidency in order to remove a president? What do his crimes as veep have to do with anything? Unless she just wants to do a lemafrei’a impeachment of him as veep, kind of like the Trump Senate trial…? But she seems to want to impeach his presidency, not his veepidency… Anyone know what her cheshbon is (I mean even l’shitasa)?
