House Republicans are preparing to launch an impeachment inquiry into President Biden two days before the federal government shuts down. Charlie Sykes and Peter Baker join Andrea Mitchell to weigh in on political calculus for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. “Kevin McCarthy’s hollow speakership is playing out pretty much the way that you would have expected. You know, what could go wrong when you shut down the government and then start an impeachment without any evidence?” Sykes says. “The point of this impeachment is not to provide evidence, it’s to flood the zone. It is to devalue the coin of impeachment, because at the end of the day, if everybody’s impeached then nobody’s impeached. If everybody is corrupt, nobody is corrupt.”

Charlie Sykes: House Republicans want to ‘devalue the coin of impeachment’
#JoeBiden #GOP #Congress
I used to listen to you regularly while living in Milwaukee. Very glad to see you're still a relevant voice in a volatile time. I have often disagreed with you, but respect your ability to bring sound, reasoned insights to the table. There have definitely been times that I have reconsidered a position, based on well crafted arguments. I appreciate your efforts to continue thoughtful discussion, instead of perpetuating the same entrenched partisan lines. Good for you Charlie.
The impeachment farce is nothing more than a Dog and Pony Show. Nothing will come from it.
Subpoena Giuliani what are you afraid of Comer
"Devalue the coin of impeachment" ??? Nonsense!!! Democrats have devalued the coin of our government. Look at what's happening today: Liberal Democrats and their Unelected bureaucrats have Heavily-Politicized and Weaponized our once-trusted Federal, State and now County justice systems thus turning them into a Much-hated "GESTAPO" Force against President Trump, Conservative Republicans and Innocent American Citizens.
This is the stuff of Corrupt Third-World Banana Republics and the Former Soviet Union. We the Good People of America and the World are Alarmed, Concerned and Outraged at what is taking place in Crooked, Corrupt and Criminal Joe "The Big Guy" Biden's America. Enough is enough! 😡😡😡😡😡
GOD Bless and Save America! ✝✝✝
Interesting take

Enough with the bloody polls. Polls are not "news." Polls are projections and are always biased.
These morons still think Biden isn’t going to be blamed for the shutdown. Of course he will be blamed 😂
TRUMP THINKS WHALES ARE DYING BECAUSE THEY HIT WINDMILLS IN NORTH CAROLINA
De-value impeachment? Democrats already did that!
You all should know better how Donald trump really acting crazy and not talking all one sentence and Joe Biden very mature and talk positive for America! Trump only continues talking about himself mostly to made you forget about politics and no positive for issues for you he skip that !! Lots mostly himself in the “ spotlight “ !!!! He is hypocritical and totally sociopathic evil !!
"devalue the coin of impeachment"? Have Dems forgotten they impeached Trump TWICE? American liberals are the least self-aware people on the planet.
VOTE BLUE 🔵
I think the Democrats way overdevalued impeachment last term. Were they so stupid that they thought there pettiness wouldn't come back to bite them.
Trump is only three years younger than Biden, but he's also insane. Why don't you media people state the obvious? Trump is a Putin sponsored lunatic.
The USA needs Preferential Voting, like we have here in Australia. It prevents these third parties from making losers like Trump into Kings.
None of the assassinated Kennedys deserved such a fate. I won't suggest the current one does either. He would be wise to fall on his sword, however, as a graceful exit for his entire family line. He's a kook, krank, or whatever phrase you prefer for a fool.
Don’t complain about impeachment now.
Democrats set the standard.
Now they’re upset the standard they set gets used against them.
Trump supporters wear MAGA caps to hide their collective lobotomy scars…
Pence vs trump too
Yes Kennedy legend is better than what we are seeing tearing this nation apart
Where are the heros we dont want trump or biden period. End this dangerous times for our nation already.
Since "poor kids are just as bright as white kids" I think the "boy"s will prove it's a lie that ‘If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black" and vote for President Trump in 20204.
The GOP is trying to stop the aid to Ukraine. Support Ukraine. HONOR OUR WORD FOR THE NUKES THEY GAVE UP!
Yea Trump is 3 years younger yet he can’t put a coherent sentence together! He’s clearly deranged.
The “media” has been gunning for a re-match since Jan-21-2023.
Their reasons for impeachment, it's obvious; they feel like they're drowning. MTG and most of the senators, who are undoing all the progress that has been accomplished to pushed the economy forward after the Pandemic, don't care about the effects a government shutdown will bring to the economy, and many Americans. They fear Papa! Donald J Trump.. Their goal is to use any leverage at their disposal to secured Trump's re-election
The democracy is on the line and 2024
House Republicans are commiting a grotesque miscarriage of justice, and misused of power.
Reps from all the networks had dinner with Stephen Miller two weeks ago and all of the sudden Trump's winning in the polls. Huh.
The GOP is so BROKEN it isn’t FUNNY!~
Everyone of you who voted for him is responsible. Every last one of you! In our country sinks; if our precious Constitution gets shredded, if our democracy dies, it’s all because of you! Take a look in the mirror. YOU helped create this monstrosity!
Every single one of you who EVER voted for, entertained the very thought of voted for trimpk, I hope you’re happy! We warmed all of you. Over and over and over. But noooooooo, what about her emails, emails, emails!
“Oh I don’t like her..” Great! Don’t like her. It’s not like you’re forced to invite her to dinner!
“Ohhh, ANYONE but Hillary. Well, hear ya go!
Trump is a Traitor.
It's time Andrea Mitchell gathered up her remaining marbles and went home. She's always so confused and forgetful she's an embarassment.
The Democratic Party’s election strategy is all wrong. It bases its claim for re-election on the benefits of Bidenomics. The 2024 election is a do-or-die battle between our imperfect democracy and a white-power dictatorship. Democrats’ strategy must focus solely on the terrible conditions in all dictatorships, e.g. N. Korea, Iran, Russia,etc.!
Just watch in 2024, we the people will do a 2020 all over again. Vote 💙
The opioid crisis, the Punic vampire 🧛🏻♂️🧛🏻♂️🧛🏻♂️🧛🏻♂️ lullaby 💀💀💀💀of institutional monopoly ⚕️⚕️⚕️⚕️⚕️that’s how they roll.
This lady acts like she took took much Niquil!
How is Trump a danger? You people are crazy!!! TRUMP 2024 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
"The worst jobs president in U.S. history is Donald Trump, based on records that go back to World War II. The economy lost 2.9 million jobs during Trump’s term, making him the only president in the last 80 years to net job losses during his presidency. The unemployment rate increased by 1.6 percentage points to 6.3%. The U.S. trade deficit in goods and services in 2020 was the highest since 2008 and increased 40.5% from 2016. The federal debt held by the public went up from $14.4 trillion to $21.6 trillion."
Millions of narcissists will vote third party to make themselves feel good, with zero thought for the needs of the nation and world.
Biden team needs to talk numbers . The huge deficit trump left , the millions of Americans that died during his Covid debunkle, the closure of most of our embassies , the closure of more than 1/2 the government , the stacking of the Supreme Court .
Kevin is a clown and a wimp beyond words
Everyday trump is free to continue insurrecting, the whole world watches and waits for you to stop the criminal who nearly sent a nuke our way. Or what.
I vote for TRUMP 2024
They've already devalued the speakership.
This, after Democrats used it twice. 😂😂😂😂😂.
