UNIMPEACHED: Rep. Introduces Bill to Expunge Trump's 2nd Impeachment
At this point in the silly and salacious world of American politics, it is almost expected that the most impactful actions we witness would also be the most politically-minded. This is the nature of this new govern-tainment that we’re having our noses rubbed in daily. It’s a stain on the way we retrieve information, with each network having it’s own little propaganda reactor whirring away at its center, spinning every paragraph to land in the right legislative latitude.
And so, too, do our politicians. It’s all a show at this point, and some of the braver politicians are even beginning to admit this out loud.
This is why it wouldn’t be hard to believe that Donald Trump’s second impeachment was, itself, politically-motivated, and possibly to a degree of negligence or nefariousness.
Now it looks like we’re going to find out…
Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), a Senate candidate in the upcoming state primary to fill the vacated seat of Sen. Jim Inhofe, is leading a House GOP resolution to expunge the second impeachment of former President Donald Trump in the wake of last year’s Capitol Hill attack.
On Wednesday, Rep. Mullin, a former MMA fighter who was inside the Capitol Complex on January 6 as he attempted to prevent a mob from reaching the House floor, led more than two dozen Republican colleagues in introducing a resolution on congressional accountability for the second impeachment of former President Donald Trump.
The bill already had some legs.
House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and House GOP Conference Vice Chair Mike Johnson (R-LA) are among 28 Republicans supporting the move.
Adding some credence to Mullin’s claims is the work of the January 6th select committee, who thus far have appeared to focus their politically-motivated investigation on precisely the same argument as was used during Trump’s second impeachment.
