Representative Ro Khanna, a California Democrat, said Monday that some Republicans are “on board” with potentially impeaching Attorney General Pam Bondi over the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) failure to release all of its files related to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by the congressionally mandated deadline.
Pointing out that Representative Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, would be “leading” the effort if it moves forward, Khanna said during an interview with Morning Joe on MS Now that “there are a few Republicans who are on board with it.” However, he noted that this would not be the first step to pressure Bondi and the DOJ, highlighting that they’d first move forward with pushing to hold her in contempt of Congress.
They passed the bill to release the files, stands to reason that the same people would vote for impeachment.
They passed a bill riddled with loopholes that would allow these extended redactions. Stands to reason the same people will make a lot of noise about how disappointed they are, then kick the can through the next election cycle until its not their problem anymore.
They think they can get by on show because a significant portion of the Democratic base accepts pageantry in lieu of meaningful action.
