U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) recently spoke out about the U.S. House of Representatives' impeachment inquiry and the potential wrongdoings of President Joe Biden. Rubio expressed his concerns about the misuse of impeachment as a political weapon and emphasized the importance of uncovering evidence through the inquiry process. The senator's remarks came during an interview with Wake Up America.

Rubio clarified the distinction between an impeachment inquiry and impeachment proceedings, stating, "Impeachment inquiry and impeachment proceedings are two different things. The reason why the House is pursuing the inquiry is because they feel they can get answers to their questions faster than they can just through regular subpoenas from Congress that sometimes are ignored."

He further highlighted the need for answers, stating, "There’s certainly enough smoke for us to try to determine whether there’s fire. If, in fact, Biden has done nothing wrong, as he claims, he should be welcoming this inquiry, be forthcoming, and say, here’s the proof that my son never paid any of my expenses from the money that they made off these deals that make no sense and that no one else in the world would get."

Comparing the current inquiry to previous impeachment cases, Rubio expressed concern that impeachment could be trivialized if used as a routine political tactic. He said, "Donald Trump was impeached while he was president for far less evidence than what this inquiry has already produced. Then he was impeached the second time when he was out of office. My fear now is that we trivialize that."

Addressing the purpose of the inquiry, Rubio explained, "The inquiry is not a proceeding. We want to discover evidence, and they’re simply using an impeachment [inquiry to do that]."

Rubio also addressed the need for evidence and the potential consequences if it is ignored. He stated, "But if there’s evidence, you can’t ignore it. They have to produce it. They’re working on producing it, and that’s why they’re doing this inquiry."

Regarding the potential impeachment of President Biden, Rubio emphasized the importance of examining all available evidence. He stated, "We have to see what all the evidence is that is out there. I certainly think there’s enough evidence now to justify an inquiry to find out more."

Rubio further highlighted the significance of accessing financial records to determine any potential wrongdoings. He said, "For example, did Hunter Biden, with the money he made from all of these deals, pay bills on behalf of Joe Biden? The only way to prove that is to gain access to the bank records or to the bills and show that."

While expressing the need for evidence, Rubio acknowledged that impeachment should not be used as a political weapon but as a constitutional measure. He stated, "I think this rises to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors, which is the standard in our Constitution [for impeachment]. But they have to produce that evidence. They don’t have it today…."

In conclusion, Rubio emphasized the importance of the inquiry process in uncovering evidence and determining whether an impeachment process is justified. He said, "If this is a process to produce the evidence that you’ve described and outline it very clearly, then I think that that’s fine."
