The Homeland Security secretary was supposed to be an easier impeachment target for Republicans. But after months of work, they still don't have the votes.
There was never any evidence raised by the ultra right wing, but they wanted to impeach just as revenge for Trump losing the election.
They haven’t really hidden this fact. Some have outright admitted that it’s a revenge and intimidation tactic and their intent to toss around trumped-up (no pun intended) charges against random democrats in retaliation for investigations on Republicans. Heck, do you honestly think the GOP actually would give half a shit about what Biden’s cokehead son is doing if they couldn’t use it as political leverage?
This was always one of the fears of our two-party system: an attempt to investigate one party’s illegal activity would almost assuredly lead to revenge investigations and made-up charges from the other side as they try to muddy the waters and dilute the seriousness of the charges, leading to what is effectively a breakdown of government. And as we’ve seen with our current House of Representatives (and even the Senate to a lesser degree), those fears were entirely justified.
