Has Pete Hegseth committed impeachable crimes? The question is absurd and the answer is: obviously not.
Like so much of Congress, impeachment has become a ridiculous show that stands in for actual policymaking. Congress has so many tools for registering its policy disagreements. Rather than use them, they're going to try to impeach Pete Hegseth. They did the same to Donald Trump. Legislation is hard. Impeachments are easy (and ultimately, inconsequential).
The irony is that legislators are most angry at Pete on the issues where he's most correct: repositioning forces away from Europe/Ukraine and reorganizing the general officer corps.
This isn't about Iran, this is about the fact that Pete took on the bureaucracy at the Pentagon.
@jamiescoop There is no way on Earth this person can be regarded as anything but a partisan hack. Certainly not an investigative journalist. Journalists didn't have social media on which to advertise their ignorance and bias 30 years ago when boomer lady here was working.
@LexCoryell@mattklewis@JenniferEValent It was over the war and the resulting inflation, you jackass. Not 1 or 2.
And the war is something neocons loved.
