The House has voted 211 to 204 to refer the articles of impeachment filed against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to committee, effectively killing the impeachment effort spearheaded by Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky.
Tuesday’s vote short-circuits any potential floor vote on the articles of impeachment, and virtually guarantees the measure will not be taken up before the current session of Congress expires.
The vote provided a surprise reprieve for President Trump’s embattled Defense Secretary, who was facing an impeachment vote by the full House as early as Wednesday.
Massie reintroduced the articles of impeachment on Monday, accusing Hegseth of high crimes and misdemeanors in connection to the war with Iran and U.S. strikes against Iran and on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific Ocean.
I see you’re doing your best not to understand and congratulate yourself on your success.
what do we gain by their promising during an election cycle that which they never intend to do? how does not punishing literal criminals help?
The prerequisites for truth and reconciliation are not met in the US at the moment, as I made clear, so that’s not what I am talking about.
why would you think all parties want to move forward from the wrongdoing? and how do you think they want to implement that movement, and why are you ok with them not going after criminals?
I didn’t make this claim about any specific situation. Do you want to know about a situation where this has been the case, or did you misunderstand me?
my failure to understand is thanks to your lack of articulation. why are you seemingly ok with no prosecution thus far?
I have said so many times I am not talking about the current situation in the USA, and I don’t know how else to say it. I’m not ok with it; I was talking about other situations.
Bye.
well you replied in a thread re usa and were bog shit at getting your point across. bye too. enjoy your day.
