Why an Impeachment Inquiry – WSJ

House Republicans are embroiled in an internal debate over the politics of launching an official impeachment inquiry to learn more about Joe Biden and his son Hunter s financial misdeeds. The better question isn t whether they should, but why it is likely necessary.

That s the case Oversight Chairman James Comer, Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan and Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith are making to their caucus, and they have a compelling argument. Their investigations have turned up evidence that Vice President Biden was involved in Hunter s dealings, and that the unsavory gains of those transactions might have benefited the Biden clan. Yet the documents necessary to answer definitively the question of whether there was corruption remain out of reach, and access may hinge on bringing full impeachment powers to a coming high-stakes legal fight.

Why engage in an impeachment inquiry? Without it, the country may never get the truth.
