Sen. Joe Biden: Impeachment “sucks all the oxygen out of the air… possibly bringing criminal charges… at a later date”

Joe Biden acknowledges that his candidacy is a long shot. He says he just wants a chance to say what he thinks.
By Sam Stein, Newsweek

…But impeachment like everything else is a matter of priorities and responsibility. In order to move on impeachment now, we would be put in a position at a very, very delicate time in our nation’s history, of having necessarily to take our eye off the ball on a host of other things that will have longer-lasting impact on the security of this country. As a practical matter, it sucks all the oxygen out of the air. We would effectively be paralyzed for the next six months or longer….The alternative, and it’s taken me time to think through, I think we should be acquiring and accumulating all the data that is appropriate for possibly bringing criminal charges against members of this administration at a later date.

  1. Get a grip Joe. The only action that would prove to me that this country and its (previous) principles will survive into the future would be the sight of Congress actually defending and upholding the Constitution. How is it possible that you don’t know that this is your first priority and that everything else is not only secondary, but meaningless without keeping that oath you took? The inconvenience of saving the Republic interferes with your other projects? Well, uh yup, I guess it would…

    After 35 years of voting as a Democrat I am actually considering leaving the party. I never thought anything could make me do that. Never say nev— er, yellow dog.

    Pass this on to Pelosi.

  2. Grow some balls Joe, somebody needs to save the Constitution !! If you investigate what really happened to the WTC http://nw0.info you would realize that we have more to worry about from in and around DC than anything from the middle east !!
