In 2020, Trump’s DOJ issued a binding legal opinion that impeachment inquiries are invalid without an official vote of the House.

Wrong. It takes a super majority to convict in a impeachment.
Oh, that’s right! Sorry forgot about that. Well, that’s at least good. Even if they don’t get a removal though, it still normalizes impeachment which is the GOP plan.
I highly doubt normalizing impeachment is the goal. It’s about creating a distraction for Trump and all his cronies’ impending trials.
They’re nearly the same thing, by pretending they’re going to impeach Biden they make it seem impeachments are no big deal and are boring procedural matters, providing cover to Trump by minimizing his. They don’t even need to bring it to a vote if they can get enough media coverage “investigating” the current McGuffin of the week.
The thing is that impeachment isn’t actually backed by the majority of the GOP. (Obv they might still vote in a partisan manner)
It’s just the freedom caucus people who are threatening removal of the speaker if he doesn’t entertain their evidence-less delusions.
