“Obviously it’s time to move on, Mr. President. Impeachment is over,” Siskel wrote.
“There is too much important work to be done for the American people to continue wasting time in this farce.”
The reason there have been few complaints from Republicans about the handover of the documents is because the White House turned over the requested information.
However, the letter signals that the White House is done and it’s time to move on to other things.
The letter is also a move by the White House to force Johnson and the House Republicans to make a move. Right now, Comer and Jordan are living in impeachment hell. Sure, there’s technically an impeachment inquiry and they’re supposed to hold a public hearing soon, but the hearing won’t contain any new witnesses or information. It will be a rehash of all the failed testimonies that the chairman of the Comer oversight committee has already collected.
The White House wants Johnson to put impeachment on the floor because they know it will fail.
President Biden is no longer playing this game, and it is time for President Johnson and House Republicans to make their move or pack their bags and end this investigation.
