An impeachment effort against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem will “move forward,” members of Congress are promising, after the effort was announced last week in the wake of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer fatally shooting a United States citizen in Minneapolis.
“We’re gonna move forward to impeach Kristi Noem,” Representative Angie Craig, a Minnesota Democrat, vowed during an interview with MS Now on Sunday.
In a press release, Democratic Representative Robin Kelly‘s office said that the 3 articles of impeachment would allege Noem “abused her office for personal benefit and steered federal dollars to associates,” “willfully obstructed Congressional oversight and withheld Congressionally appropriated funds in violation of her constitutional oath and federal law” and “compromised public safety, violated due process of American citizens, and directed unconstitutional actions.”
Doesn’t matter. Some people will say things like “it’ll fail but at least we’ll have those names on record” but that doesn’t even matter. Without the votes and knowing this will fail is just another insta-failure for democrats that falls onto the pile of recent failures. It’d be better to wait until after the midterms.
My one friend Made the argument of why even pay attention if it didn’t matter? It’s history, nobody actually paid for Watergate or Iran contra.
