The outgoing congressman included eight charges against Hegseth, largely related to the Iran war.
Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., on Monday reintroduced articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the U.S. war with Iran.
A House vote on the articles is expected as soon as this week.
Massie, a longtime Trump critic who’s retiring from Congress at the end of the year, brought eight charges against Hegseth, accusing him of “waging the Iran war despite no declaration of war, statutory authorization, attack on the United States, or imminent threat.”
There’s no double jeopardy for impeachment. It’s not a criminal trial; it’s a political one.
If this one fails, the dems can try again in a couple months. Hopefully they won’t need to.
The voters clearly don’t approve of Kegsbreath, Republicans. Do something to show that you have your own brains.
Massie pointed that out in an article I read and also pointed out his is impeachment lite, once the D’s are in control. of the House, its very likely they go in much much harder if this hasn’t been dealt with. I assume that was an attempt to encourage his fellow GOP-ers :) to get on board.
And if the Republicans do it now, the Democrats don’t get credit for it next Congress. Seems like a smart play.
Maisse isn’t in the next congress, that’s why he’s doing it now.
But yeah, if it doesn’t pass now it almost certainly will in two months.
