In a Twitter Spaces event earlier this week, Gaetz said impeaching Biden would 'not [be] for the sake of conviction.'
The purpose of the impeachment to me is to use the Senate as the stage, but they’re not the jury. The jury is the American people. … [An impeachment trial] will not result in a conviction, but the true verdict can still be rendered by the American people.
The sentiment that Gaetz expressed — that an impeachment would serve a political end — contradicts Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy’s assertion thatwouldn’t be a means to help Republicans politically but to hold the president accountable for purported lawbreaking or unethical abuses of power. Committee hearings that appear to be gearing up to call for impeachment do indeed appear to be displaying political motivations, as they have so far lacked much in terms of evidence of presidential malfeasance,“House Republicans have mobilized multiple committees to go after the Biden family.
