House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) recently let it be known that his caucus was about to take steps to force out Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
Jeffries said, “We’ve successfully run out of town some of his Cabinet secretaries. I believe Pete Hegseth is next, and we’re going to keep our foot on the gas pedal to push this guy out.”
House Democrats put their foot on the gas by filing articles of impeachment against Hegseth.
House Democrats filed articles of impeachment against Hegseth for high crimes and misdemeanors that include:
Violations of the law of armed conflict and targeting of civilians, including an illegal strike to kill survivors of an initial attack on a vessel in the Caribbean Sea and operations resulting in large civilian casualties in Iran that run afoul of the Geneva Conventions;
Abuse of power and politicization of the Armed Forces, including the authorization of targeted investigations against elected officials like Captain Mark Kelly for exercising their First Amendment rights;
Any single item on the list would be enough for impeachment, but the whole list looks like high crimes crime wave.
