Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on Sunday predicted that Democrats will impeach Trump for a third time between his two presidencies if they take control of the House after the November midterm elections.

Jordan suggested in an interview on “Cats Roundtable,” the WABC 770 AM radio show hosted by John Catsimatidis, that Democrats will take the legislative branch’s oversight capability “and turn it into a weaponization of government.”

“They say they’re not going to, but we know they will –– they’ll do a third impeachment of President Trump,” Jordan told the host. “But that’s just part of it. They’re going to investigate the first family, they’re going to investigate cabinet secretaries.”

    If their wrong, what would be the actual impact of a third impeachment that won’t get though the Senate?

    The answer is zero impact. He’s been impeached already, his reputation is already tarnished and unless they have realistic expectations of a Senate conviction, it’s pointless.

    This is why I expect even a democratic win to be mostly pointless. Supreme Court says 2/3rds of Senate is the only body that can hold the executive branch accountable, so the branch is free to do anything it wants without repercussion so long as over a third of Senate says they are Republican.
