Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on Sunday predicted that Democrats will impeach Trump for a third time between his two presidencies if they take control of the House after the November midterm elections.

Jordan suggested in an interview on “Cats Roundtable,” the WABC 770 AM radio show hosted by John Catsimatidis, that Democrats will take the legislative branch’s oversight capability “and turn it into a weaponization of government.”

“They say they’re not going to, but we know they will –– they’ll do a third impeachment of President Trump,” Jordan told the host. “But that’s just part of it. They’re going to investigate the first family, they’re going to investigate cabinet secretaries.”

      The biggest bullshit is that legally speaking, he will get away with everything he did. the supreme court declared that everything the president does is legal. that was some major bullshit.

        if what the president is doing now is “legal” then the new president can “legally” have the old president marched into a meat grinder.

        “sorry bro, but it was an official act of the president, nothing we can do about it”

          what Biden should have done when the supreme court decided that. immediately and illegally expand the supreme court or illegally arrest the conservative judges that voted for that. so the new supreme court would reverse that stupid decision.

      I sure hope it doesn’t end with just impeaching donnie, either.

      All of his accomplices should be hounded with lawsuits and prison time for the rest of their miserable lives.

      Impeachment itself means nothing. But they can open investigations into all sorts of stuff under the guise of impeachment preparation. They can bring everything to light and leak it all to the press. Done correctly, the whole first family can be dragged through the gutters forever.

        People get all pedantic about the exact legal definition of treason, forgetting that the word has a common understanding of betraying one’s country.

        We don’t need to litigate the specifics, trump has done treason.

    I hope the impeachment process takes just 2-3 days. Here’s 100 reasons, just shut up and vote.

      Any time and effort they spend fighting impeachment is less time they spend fucking up everything else.

    This is the kind of bi-partisan nature I expect in the US.

    Republicans campaigning for Democrats and Democrats campaigning for Republicans.

    I couldn’t get further than this:

    “And then they’ll also, I think, go after people in the private sector,” Jordan continued. “They’re going to go up for any business who, as an example, you got businesses who helped paper the inauguration, which happened every four years … [Democrats] are going to somehow say, ‘Oh, these businesses have done something wrong.'”

    Reverse Victim and Offender.

      When politicians say “people in the private sector” they’re not talking about us. They’re talking about their big donors.

      So… who is supposed to give a fuck about this again? Does Gym think the people that voted for him care about protecting his big donors?
