Dusty Johnson Endorses Evidenceless Impeachment Inquiry

Sigh—the once-sensible Dusty Johnson says that, even with his conservative compatriots about to shut down the government, his fellow House members ought to expend valuable time and resources conducting an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden:

Rep. Dusty Johnson, tweet, 2023.09.12.
Rep. Dusty Johnson, tweet, 2023.09.12.

Dusty, Dusty, Dusty—you are backing the weakest impeachment investigation in history:

“This is very disturbing for people who study past impeachments, because impeachment is really a very extreme measure,” says constitutional scholar Philip Bobbitt, a professor at Columbia Law School and expert on the history of impeachment who co-authored an updated edition of Charles Black’s classic legal text, Impeachment: A Handbook, in 2018. “I honestly don’t know that there is any evidence tying the president to corrupt activities when he was vice president or now.”

Frank Bowman, professor emeritus at the University of Missouri school of law and author of the book High Crimes and Misdemeanors: A History of Impeachment for the Age of Trump, said that McCarthy’s decision did not appear to be based on the evidence House Republicans have gathered thus far.

“Biden’s Republican pursuers have got exactly zero, zip, bupkis, on any matter that might be impeachable,” says Bowman [Mini Racker, “‘Absolutely Shocking’: Impeachment Experts Say Biden Inquiry May Be Weakest in U.S. History,” Time, 2023.09.12].

Republicans have zero evidence justifying this unprecedented partisan moonbattery:

…So far, Republicans have found that Biden’s son, Hunter, made millions of dollars while his father was vice president. Devon Archer, a business associate of Hunter Biden’s, has previously testified to the House Oversight Committee that businesses were interested in working with Hunter in part due to his proximity to the Biden “brand.”

One key piece of evidence Republicans have cited from Archer’s testimony is that Biden participated in roughly 20 phone calls with Hunter’s business contacts. However, Archer stressed those encounters consisted of small talk like the weather and not issues of substance. Archer also testified that he hadn’t seen President Biden attempt to use his office to help Hunter advance his career.

Some “evidence,” such as claims Biden engaged in quid pro quo schemes, have been disproved. Others, like testimony from whistleblowers who claim the government gave Hunter Biden lenient treatment in its investigations into potential misconduct, have been largely discredited. As the New York Times explained, “there is no evidence that Mr. Biden ordered that his son get special treatment in any investigation.”

Overall, House Republicans’ investigations have not found any actual, concrete proof of wrongdoing by President Biden. As a result, their decision to open an inquiry is surprising, since it’s historically not been done until there’s significant evidence of misconduct. Republicans have argued that the inquiry is to help them gather this information: It provides a legal framework that could enable these committees to gain more subpoena powers for documents, though the legal precedent for this is unclear, and any subpoenas are likely to be met with lawsuits.

Currently, the House does not yet have a strong case that Biden committed “high crimes and misdemeanors,” one of the charges a president can be impeached for. Multiple Republicans — including Senate leaders like John Thune (R-SD) and Mitt Romney (R-UT) as well as House members like Rep. Dave Joyce (R-OH) — have expressed concerns that the GOP is moving forward on an inquiry without providing clear evidence of the offenses it will center on [Li Zhou, “Republicans’ Unfounded Impeachment Inquiry of Biden, Explained,” Vox, 2023.09.12].

Come on, Dusty, look at the evidence the way you used to on the Public Utilities Commission. Demand facts, not fictitious wishes. Call for an end to this impeachment charade and get your caucus back to solving real problems.

    Marina Butina, his Red Sparrow, told him what to do. She promises toyland in Moscow for this little grift. Love birds sing and dance.

    BTW, “In January 2020, the Donald Trump-led Justice Department formally declared that impeachment inquiries by the House are invalid unless the chamber takes formal votes to authorize them.” So the whole house will need to vote on this nonsense. It won’t matter to the cultists like Dirty Johnson, but may prove to be a problem for many of his fellow R’s. 2024 looks better and better for Biden!!

    o, not running someone, anyone, against Republican At-large US Representative Howdy Doody Dusty Johnson in 2020 and again in 2022 are more embarrassments for the South Dakota Democratic Party who hasn’t won a statewide race since 2008. Johnson has never stopped raising money so the SDDP needs to hound the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee for cash and start running opposition ads on every commercial radio station in South Dakota. My party can recruit some respected Democrats to record radio spots then bombard the airwaves paving the way to 2024.

    Johnson needs to be held accountable for coddling a would be dictator and building a war chest on the Big Lie, for his failures to support Medicaid, for voting against marriage, for not moving on immigration reform and for his culpability in driving talent from South Dakota. But he certainly knows which side of his bread gets buttered so the extreme white wing of the Republican Party owns him lock, stock and schlock. Johnson went from being a likable moderate to becoming just another tool of the oligarchs who hoard trillions in South Dakota’s banks and trusts because, hey, that’s where the money is. When a handful of Republicans need socialized freight rail to ship subsidized grain Howdy Doody Dusty is all aboard but when thousands need passenger rail he’s ambivalent then votes against the Earth and for the Trump agenda without remorse.

    Johnson wasn’t duped by Maria Butina, he was an accomplice!

    Seriously, Trump-publicans are going to call foul when a child uses their high-positioned father to make business connections???!!! That is the ONLY business Trump children (and children-in-law) get involved in. Next thing you know, Biden will appoint Hunter into a high-ranking/security White House post . . .

    Seriously, how much hypocrisy can one party tolerate?

  5. Donald Pay 2023-09-14 09:11

    Liz Cheney knows Dirty Johnson is anti American. “Putin has now officially endorsed the Putin-wing of the Republican Party.

    Putin Republicans & their enablers will end up on the ash heap of history. Patriotic Americans in both parties who believe in the values of liberal democracy will make sure of it.” @Liz_Cheney

    boomshakalaka nailed it Liz Cheney

    Nothing more tha a Whitewater, Vince Foster suicide, Uranium 1, Clinton Foundation, Benghazi witch hunt to drive Joe’s re-election chances down. Both sides of the aisle have stated there is no evidence of crimes by Joe, but since magats can’t govern they have to hope they can push enough dirt to get an unqualified drumpf back into power.

  9. John 2023-09-14 09:49

    Tiny Johnson is the boy who never grew up. He’s South Dakota’s worst US representative since NOem. Larry does us service reciting Johnson’s high crimes and misdemeanors. Small Johnson passed on several opportunities to try to act like a statesman in the trump era. Instead, and at every opportunity Boy Johnson wet his finger, stuck it in the wind, and voted with the cult. He’s so bad that even thune and rounds keep their distance.

  12. Dicta 2023-09-14 10:47

    I give zero craps re: whatabout stuff as it isn’t a serious response to corruption, but this irritates me for a couple reasons:

    1. Impeachment inquiries are supposed to already have evidence supporting the inquiry, NOT be a damn fishing expedition.
    2. Johnson joins the likes of Marjorie Taylor Greene, who filed articles of impeachment BEFORE BIDEN TOOK OFFICE.

    Absolute joke and kabuki theater of the worst kind.

  13. Austin Dreyer 2023-09-14 10:50

    – Witness testimony from Devon Archer
    – Statements from Tony Bobulinski
    – Texts from Hunter Biden’s computer
    – WhatsApps from Hunter Biden’s computer
    – Joe Biden’s statements on leveraging the ouster of Viktor Shokin in Ukraine
    – Unexplained income to Joe Biden
    – A lifetime of corruption benefitting his family from Joe Biden

  14. Dicta 2023-09-14 11:00

    Jesus christ, Austin, have you looked into these claims? What is the source of the “unexplained income?” Hint: it’s a UK tabloid. Devon Archer openly acknowledges Biden never discussed business. Further, despite persistent allegations that the laptop contents indicated corruption by Joe Biden, a joint investigation by two REPUBLICAN Senate committees released in September 2020 did not find wrongdoing by him, nor did a REPUBLICAN House Oversight committee investigation by August 2023.

    Why lie about such easily researched facts?

  15. larry kurtz 2023-09-14 11:06

    Dicta, your point about whataboutism is well taken. I TRY to stay above that; I really do, but this one got me. Seriously, Joe Biden should be impeached for having a nepo-baby? (So we can reinstate the Trump crime family?)

    Jared Kushner got 2 billion ftrom the guys who blew up the towers on 9/11 that killed over 3,000 Americans . Hunter Biden got a sum less than the EB5 money that Rounds and Joop got and nobody got murdered. Dirty needs to check on this family tie business

  21. Dicta 2023-09-14 11:35

    Austin, even after I told you no fewer than THREE republican inquiries made into the laptop revealed no wrongdoing on Joe Biden’s part, you still whine that there wasn’t a big enough story about it. But there is no “it.” It’s clear that this isn’t about truth to you, but politics. I also find it comical that you find Hunter Biden a totally disingenuous and corrupt individual, yet there are certain things he says on text you want us to believe. Funny, that.

    What are you talking about? Dude, three republican committees said nothing on the laptop implicates Joe Biden. THREE. The only disinformation here seems to be who you conclude the laptop indicates as opposed to, you know, the people who actually analyzed the damn thing. Are you intentionally being obtuse here?

  25. jerry 2023-09-14 11:50

    “Ivanka Trump’s fashion and homewares business received initial approval from the Chinese government for five trademark applications days before her father announced a U-turn in policy on ZTE, a Chinese telecoms firm that has admitted breaking US sanctions on Iran and North Korea.” Dirty Johnson can open a little question about influence peddling right there. They all do it. NOem does it with her kid. There is nothing out of the ordinary here, it ain’t right, but it is being done.

  26. Austin Dreyer 2023-09-14 11:52

  27. Donald Pay 2023-09-14 11:59

    “Oversight” is not mentioned in the Constitution. Is “oversight” really a “key constitutional responsibility of Congress,” as Rep. Johnson says, if it’s not stated in the Constitution. Now, if you want to liberally interpret the Constitution, you can find all sorts of such implied responsibilities in the Constitution, but I thought true conservatives didn’t do that sort of expansion of governmental power. Where in the Constitution is it stated that “unsettling business dealings” of the son of a President is of any Constitutional concern? I suggest Rep. Johnson read the Constitution before he makes such nonsensical statements.

  28. Dicta 2023-09-14 12:09

    So you flat out refuse to acknowledge the findings of the committees, who are no friends to Joe Biden. And yet, you have the temerity to discuss “evidence.” Do better, Austin,.

    I’ve always struggled with the cognitive dissonance of a group of people who caterwaul about how dishonest other groups are, yet openly laugh at being caught in a lie. And then I google this young man and discover a facebook page littered with church camps and references to the lord. How can you so openly lie for political gains and still present a picture of a pious person? There is no shame.

  32. O 2023-09-14 13:59

    Larry hits on the larger problem here, this impeachment vote is to get the super-crazies to fall in line with the the regular-crazies and the rational to create a majority vote to avoid a government shut down. This is a House of straw that I don’t think the Speaker can pull together — certainly not repeatedly to answer each time a debt ceiling agreement expires.

  33. CK 2023-09-14 14:01

    Hey Austin….Do you understand how the chain of custody works in reference to admittable evidence in court? You might want to read up on that before you start spouting about the laptop as evidence.

  34. Arlo Blundt 2023-09-14 14:11

    Cory, you should have led with “the occasionally sensible Dusty Johnson.” Dusty believes he is on a fast track for a Leadership position in the House. Now’s not the time to alienate Jim Jordon, Greene, Boebert and the rest of the torch carriers. He’s hoping to become one of McCarthy’s main men.

  35. jerry 2023-09-14 14:25

    When the government is shut down, how will Dirty and the cultists do the inquiry thingy? How will the Farm Bill be done? Will farmers and ranchers be miffed at Dirty or will they slap him on the back and tell him boorah?

    Joe Biden will win South Dakota in 2024.

    The Spy and the accused “Red Sparrow.”
    How did the South Dakota Teen Age Republicans end up hosting a woman at their 2015 camp who was later accused of being an unregistered foreign agent for Russia?
    Quite innocently, according to the current U.S. House candidate who was running the camp at the time.
    Dusty Johnson won the Republican nomination for U.S. House in June of 2015, but in July of 2015, he was directing the Teen Age Republicans Leadership Camp at Camp Rimrock near Rapid City in the Black Hills.
    Johnson said he was contacted that summer by Paul Erickson, a longtime Republican political operative who grew up in Vermillion and has an apartment in Sioux Falls. Erickson offered to bring Maria Butina to speak at the camp, and described her as an advocate for expanded gun rights in Russia who was on an American speaking tour, Johnson said.
    Johnson agreed to let her speak to the campers, which she did, for about 25 minutes.
    “It was an interesting talk,” Johnson said Tuesday. “She focused pretty heavily on the value of free speech and the right to bear arms. She described Putin as a dictator and a tyrant. She was engaging, and she gave at the time what I thought was a pretty effective talk.”
    Johnson was so impressed that he tweeted a picture that day of Butina speaking at the camp. Johnson wrote in the tweet that Butina “was incredible” and that the campers “loved her stories of working for freedom in Russia.”
    That three-year-old tweet is being widely retweeted this week after federal prosecutors announced Monday that they had arrested Butina and charged her with conspiring to act as an unregistered foreign agent for the Russian government.
    The [then] 29-year-old Butina is accused of gathering intelligence on American officials and political organizations while living in Washington, D.C., and working to establish back-channel communications with Russian government officials.
    Since the announcement of the arrest, Johnson came under criticism on Twitter for his glowing 2015 tweet about Butina.
    “Obviously,” Johnson [later] said of Butina, “I’m pretty angry that instead of being a freedom fighter, she’s a scam artist and a liar.”
    Johnson’s major-party opponent in the Nov. 6 election, Democrat Tim Bjorkman, called the Butina arrest and allegations “a shocking example of just how deeply the Russian government is attempting to penetrate our American institutions.”

  41. jerry 2023-09-14 16:38

    “Hide and watch” is a catchphrase of mine that means, just be quiet and see how it all comes about. There is no such thing as a friendly wager….even among friends. NOem proves by action, that she and Joe Biden are cut from the same cloth. They both support their adult children even when they are a problem. Women see that and they appreciate that loyalty to their children. They know that Joe Biden is being railroaded for supporting his drug addicted son who has been humiliated by his addition. Yeah, they see that and many know that hurt.

    The support for trump is support from the wealthy here in South Dakota, wealth being $50,000.00 a year and there really aren’t that many, mostly loudmouths. The women might say they voted for trump but will put that mark in for Joe Biden, but a vote for Joe…. Hide and watch.

  42. jerry 2023-09-14 16:43

    Dirty Johnson, the putin wing of the republican party of cultists. Liz Cheney was spot on with this. Butina showed us all just how far the SDGOP was up Putin’s arse. Thune even took a 4th of July visit to Moscow to kiss the ring.

  43. O 2023-09-14 17:05

    Jerry, I don’t think women’s rights is an issue that will tip elections in SD. For YEARS, the GOP has branded itself the “pro-life” party and that branding has created a fierce loyalty for religious conservatives. It was the SINGLE issue to vote on — ensuring GOP dominance. I don’t think now a post-Roe reality will move that base enough to flip an SD state-wide election. I WANT so badly to say you are right, but I just don’t think the history and the numbers support it.

  44. jerry 2023-09-14 17:20

    All of those years, there was Roe v Wade, so there was not a lot on the block. The change has now come and we are seeing the results in red parts of the country, real red parts. I witnessed two sides of the street in front of the courthouse in Rapid City some years ago during a strong debate. Gotta tell you, the women were very determined. I don’t think we are gonna be calling him Landslide Joe here in South Dakota, but I do think we will be calling him the winner. Every team wants a single issue to rally around, or you sound like Cornell West. This is it.

  45. Bob Newland 2023-09-14 18:07

    Somewhere around 40 years ago, Dustin M. Johnson, Pierre Riggs HS class of ’95, decided he wanted to “lead” people. There are three general categories in which one can achieve the characterization of “leader;” politics, excellence in a “glamorous” field (e.g. football, astrophysics, scamming of the ignorant, et al.), and the military. Appearing on the hits list of more than one of these three arbitrary catgories can generally place a person where (s)he can get into a place where (s)he can push people around. He doesn’t seem to have had anything to do with the military when that course might have been open to him. Therefore…

    Johnson might have some creds in the scamming of the ignorant department, but how do you scam someone who wants to be scammed? Having run for, and been elected to, political office in South Dakota without ever having a “profession,” his ONLY job now, really, is being re-elected to his current occupation of being a piece of oatmeal in a rice pudding.

    Y’gotta feel for him. In Pakistan, if you can’t balance on a board over a sawhorse, you are blown up. In the weirdly tortuous western “civilized” political process, you are simply tossed into the borrow pit. Or blown up. If he can’t raise his necessarily (sometimes) absurd amount of re-election monetary pledges the difference is moot. For the rest of his life, he’ll be reduced to being, what, a schoolteacher.? There are many worse things to be, but, for a “leader,” it’s gotta sound lame.

    What I am saying is, I can’t find more than a rapidly-disappearing shred of leadership in him. Sometimes he’ll make a feint towards courage (masking in 2020 at the Mt Rushmore fireworks gala), then retract the gesture. In any state except SoDak, I’d say he’s “vulnerable.” In SoDak, a severely knowledge-deprived R is given a 50-meter start over the actually-capable anything else in the 100-meter race for just about any elective office.

  46. grudznick 2023-09-14 18:18

    Mr. Johnson, the Congressperson, has a couple of new young kids running some things for him in his reelections. They seem very nice.

    Full disclosure, my good friend Bob did not arbitrarily pick those three categories of glamorous excellence. He picked them because they all apply to grudznick, and he likes to tease me about two of them.

  47. larry kurtz 2023-09-14 18:19

    Nice piece, Bob.

    I’ve been leaning pretty heavily on Nick Tilsen to stand for the Democratic nomination so if anyone else believes he’s our best choice should lean on him, too.

  48. Bob Newland 2023-09-14 18:27

    By “leaning heavy,” do you mean “piling on so much money they’re in danger of suffocation.”

  49. larry kurtz 2023-09-14 18:31

    Mr. Tilsen already has the resources and could be a formidable presence in a debate with the incumbent.

  50. grudznick 2023-09-14 18:51

  53. Vi Kingman 2023-09-15 11:00

    Austin, I think if the Republicans already have the “information” you listed and have had it a long time, but they haven’t impeached earlier. That tells me what you listed is BS.
    The Republicans have even said they have no evidence “yet.” What that means is is they’ll never find anything. Another thing Austin is, now that Hunter has been indicted, you don’t see Biden calling for the Attorney General to quit and unlike Trump you don’t hear Biden calling anybody any names.
    Maybe you can answer this for me as well Austin. Where are the gun nuts? What haven’t they been supporting Hunter’s right to have a gun? Can you imagine the whining from the gun nuts if Don Jr. had done this?

    Egads, man!

    Do you have a BOD? Maybe that’s why …

    But no question this kind of “lock step” is an undeniable, unmistakable attribute of Totalitarianism/Fascism (corporate media taking direction from government).

    He quoted the entire FDIC-insured bank DEPOSITS, not trust assets. This includes ALL of Wells Fargo, and Citi, which both have their charters located in South Dakota.

    I like our TRUST LAWS, I like avoiding federal taxes as much as possible. I like keeping my money in m LLCS , MY LAND trusts, my retirement trusts, my Healthcare trusts, my property trusts, etc…the federal govt can screw off and leave us alone.

    ALL MEN should keep their assets in a trust especially when the women today have become unbearable and non-committal.

    Women can sense a phony mikey z and a sick one like you in particular. Go back on your meds man and stay on them.

    Zit, have you domiciled all your alleged trusts in a single state? Any used car trusts to speak of?

    $20 says Mike Zitterich barely has two nickels to rub together let alone have assets in a trust somewhere.

    My grandfather used to say that those who brag about having money, are the ones who come to you to borrow money. Your bet is a safe one Mr. Kurtz

    Mr. Zitterich, I like your tighter bloggings. Do the women in your life appreciate where you keep all your money away from THEM? Can women OWN LAND in your strange, delusional quadrant of Sioux Falls?

    I read you, Jerry. Bluster is a TrumpWorld phenomenon where even his own impoverished soul is hemorrhaging cash.

    Mr. Zitterich, tell us about your lady.

    Learned my lesson the first time, never going through that again, so this time, my land, the house, and 1 car all goes in my TRUST, it pays the bills for those 3 items. Not gonna let anyone take advantage of me again, specially when I was committed, and i was honest, and I was a good person in the marriage. I now, protect myself with Truss, Pre-Nups, etc. What is hers is hers, and what is our SHARED Ventures, are 50-50. And this time, it has worked very good. That is all you have to know. Good Bye.

    Tiny Johnson morphed from a modest public servant on the public utilities commission to a laughing stock, worst US representative since NOem.
    In addition to Johnson’s bleating about an evidence-free impeachment, Johnson’s blathered about his imaginary threat posed by China. (Republicans always need a strawman enemy to carry their water.)
    China is a dead nation standing. And it may not stand long. In addition to Peter Zeihan’s 10 minute updated analysis, read the comments from folks living in that region of the world. The Chinese implosion is moving apace.

    Johnson wasn’t duped by Maria Butina, he was an accomplice! (HT, Larry)

    I just saw this . . . half a trillion dollars of Chinese real estate investments just went “poof”.
    Like always, read the comments, too. (Sample, so how much of this catsh!t wrapped in dogsh!t is now found in US public pension funds?)

    History reflects that shooting wars too often begin as economic wars.

    In the meantime, magats want hunter Biden to testify in person at their sham investigation. Hunter said yes and wanted to do it in public magats fearing a trap refused the offer. Of course there is a trap. If magats allow public testimony they can no longer lie to the public about what was said in private.

    Hunter Biden gets 9 new tax charges, including 3 felonies, for taxes he has already paid back. drumpf is likely getting the death penalty so he can’t whine about a 2 tiered judicial system.
