Unstable Politics Set the Stage for GOP’s Impeachment Inquiry

The Republican Party’s impeachment inquiry has begun with a wave of controversy and mixed reactions from politicians and the general public. The inquiry follows allegations that President Trump abused his presidential power to pressure a foreign leader for Trump’s own political gain. As the inquiry gets underway, the political ground on which the impeachment rests appears to be ever more unsteady.

The public’s opinion has been split on the issue, with many voicing skepticism regarding the necessity of the congressional impeachment inquiry. Some argue that it is merely Democrats attempting to score political points and impeachment has become a tool to punish partisan enemies. Additionally, the allegations against the President are broad and thus, many question the legitimacy of these charges. Disagreements over how the inquiry should be conducted demonstrate a lack of consensus.

The Republican Party is also split on the matter, with a minority of Republicans calling for the inquiry to move forward. Senator Mitt Romney along with one other lawmaker have voiced support for the inquiry, while the majority of the Republican Party stands firmly against it. Several Republican lawmakers have gone as far as accusing the impeachment inquiry of being biased and unsubstantiated. Understandably, the inquiry has become a source of tension within the party, with varying opinions throwing fuel onto the fire.

Adding to the complexity of the inquiry is the difficulty to gather conclusive evidence. In order to effectively receive any reliable testimony, the whistleblower must be called in to give his full statement without any risk of losing employment or suffering repercussions, according to Republican Senator Chuck Grassley. Democratic lawmakers similarly voiced concern, as they argued that the Trump administration is actively preventing those who have pertinent information from testifying.

Ultimately, the Republican Party’s impeachment inquiry is off to a dubious start and remains backed by conflicting opinions from politicians and the public. The inquiry’s precarious political standing and lack of conclusive evidence sets the stage for what is bound to be a complex and drawn out process.
