They won't be impeaching Trump again. But his cabinet should be shaking. Some Republicans are already on board with impeaching Hegseth.
I can definitely see them impeaching him, but probably my not removing him.
They have said they are unlikely to impeach him again.
That would be a huge mistake. They now control the senate, which means they can open an investigation. That was something they couldn't do before. They may not have a super majority, but they can get everything into official record and force the republicans to explicitly say they support the presidents illegal activities.
yeah I would like to see a third impeachment. heck just the unprecedented 3rd would make it worth it. let him go down with an impeachment record that no one will be able to touch.
They have lots of investigative powers that do not require impeachment proceedings.
I know, but being able to add the impeachment label still has impact. So I am hoping that it happens.
I don't think that should be the first thing. They should investigate others first to lay a foundation. Make it clear the scope of corruption and illegality, then carry out the presidential impeachment and directly investigate the president.
I misspoke, they "don't have plans" to impeach Trump again. Doesn't mean they won't of something comes to light that demands it.
You can be sure they will be investigating as much as possible. But they also don't have unlimited resources and time.
