Subject: Re: Mayorkas to be impeached
You misunderstand. I meant most Democratic Congressbeings believed that Trump had genuinely broken the law.

Which is even worse, as they were saying things in public that they knew not to be true (the dossier was known to be bogus misinformation right from the start, yet the demcorats invoked the We just don't like that guy clause and went ahead anyway).

Because there existed a colorable argument that his actions actually violated the law, and not just that they didn't like the guy, the Democrats were able to get a majority and actually impeach Trump

The entire thing was sourced from the Hillary! campaign and made up. And since. Every. Single. democrat. plus a few RINOs went along with it, they impeached him.
They were *all* playing the game.

They're not playing by the same rules, which is why they're unlikely to be successful.

Again. Beside the point. The point is to engage in the fishing expedition.

But people do care about the impeachment vote....because if you don't have the votes, then Mayorkas won't be impeached. The GOP will have failed - and failed in a bipartisan vote - to even bring an impeachment charge against him. That's going to be disappointing to the base. It's one thing to fail to get a conviction - it's even worse to try and fail to even get the impeachment out of the House.

Which is why it will be made clear to all the members who aren't bright enough to do The Math that a 'no' vote on impeaching Mayorkas means that they will have taken the border off the table for their own elections in the fall of 2024.
