The political phrase payback comes to mind when I listen to Speaker Kevin McCarthy here. House Republicans and really Congressional Republicans in general, when you consider the fact that Senator Ted Cruz was talking about impeachment and a criminal trial in the Senate, after Joe Biden was elected President almost three years ago. 

Another thing to think about as far as motivations here: Speaker McCarthy is a handful of Republican votes away from losing his job. The Far-Right of the party in the House has a leash on him that's so tight, that they could probably strangle Godzilla with it. 

The Speaker knows that he has to work with not just The White House and Senate Democrats, but House Democrats, to keep the government from shutting down this fall and House Republicans getting blamed for that. And he knows that the Far-Right MAGA Caucus in the House, doesn't want the Speaker to work with Democrats on anything. 

One more thing to think about: Speaker McCarthy has previously said that that House should vote to approve an impeachment inquiry of President Biden, before the House moves to do that. He also knows that probably not a single House Democrat would vote for that. He also knows that there are already a few Republicans talking about how risky it would be and perhaps bad judgment, to try to impeach President Biden now, especially based on the fact that there's no evidence that the President has done anything illegal here. Maybe House Republicans should try to impeach Joe Biden's son Hunter instead. Ha, ha.
