"The president will be impeached promptly if Democrats retake control of the House after the November midterms, an outcome his abuses of power have also made highly likely," McCarthy wrote in a column published in the National Review Wednesday.

"That will be the legacy of yesterday's reported failed attempt by the Trump Justice Department to criminally charge the Seditious Six,' as the Democrats in question were labeled by Trump supporters."

McCarthy personally characterized Trump's attacks on the six Democrats as "intolerable" and "impeachable."

He wrote that there was "no plausible justification for the proposed indictment" against Sens. Mark Kelly (Ariz.) and Elissa Slotkin (Mich.) and Reps. Jason Crow (Colo.), Maggie Goodlander (N.H.), Chrissy Houlahan (Pa.) and Chris Deluzio (Pa.)."
