GOP lawmaker unveils historic move to 'expunge' both 'maliciously false' impeachments against Trump

FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., has introduced a resolution aimed at reversing the two impeachments of President Donald Trump in the House of Representatives in a move he says will rectify a situation where Democrats used "knowingly false" claims in a partisan attempt to destroy the president’s reputation.

The resolution, H.Res.1211, referred to the House Judiciary Committee, declares that both of Trump’s impeachments, approved by the House in 2019 and 2021, should be formally "expunged as if such Article had never passed the full House of Representatives."

"The fact is that the Constitution doesn't spell out what to do when you've wrongfully indicted somebody," Issa told Fox News Digital. "An impeachment is basically an indictment and it's an indictment that you can't really be acquitted from. If you are impeached by the House, famously where do you go to get your reputation back, is the question,"

"And that’s sort of a problem that we're dealing with, which is that the president was wrongfully accused, the evidence is now out that there was withheld information and false information, but where do we go to unring this bell? And the answer is we go back to Congress and we go to the House floor and we have a vote."

"More importantly," Issa explained, is that he hopes his process will "make sure that the facts and the reality that there was misconduct in the process gets a hearing" because that’s "really where this becomes a big deal is that we really have to make our case in front of Congress and in front of the American people."

Reading into the USC what is not actually there, it leaves an impeachment as successful in removal or unsuccessful in removal. It has no provision for redress of false accusations.

The impeachments of Johnson and Clinton failed because the bases were deemed insufficiently serious. The Shampeachments of Trump were factually false, a fact that the Senate votes failed to recognize.

This'll have Dems going

While well meaning, as I believe Issa is retiring this year, it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.

It is a wonderful trivia question, which I'm not asking tonight or in the near future:

Please name the THREE U.S. President's who have been impeached while in office.

It is easy for us intelligent life forms.
