Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., introduced articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth: The articles include waging war in contravention of war powers resolutions passed by Congress, extrajudicial killings tied to boat strikes in the Caribbean that purported to target drug smugglers and suppressing free speech by targeting Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., a military veteran.

Massie, who lost his reelection bid in a Republican primary in May, introduced eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth.

They include waging war in contravention of war powers resolutions Congress passed to limit war, extrajudicial killings tied to boat strikes in the Caribbean that purported to target drug smugglers and suppressing free speech by targeting Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., a veteran.

"Wherefore, Secretary of Defense Peter Hegseth, by such conduct, has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with his duties and the rule of law," the articles, which Massie read from the House floor, read.

"Peter Brian Hegseth thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States."

Massie's resolution will force House Republican leaders to put the measure up for a vote by the end of this week."

Yes, Mr. Hegseth. You are a murderer.

If he is in fact impeached and removed, I think a rather interesting question is how much will it cost future American taxpayers to foot the bill for the significant security detail that will be following him around for the rest of his miserable life?

Why wouldn't it go nowhere? There are several Republicans who would like to see Pete out of the picture so he couldn't get in their way for the 2028 nomination. Plus the whole party needs a fall guy if they want any chance in the next two or three election cycles. It could very well be that Pete has the best chance to be that fall guy.
