Title: Merrick Garland Faces Possible Impeachment Over FBI Trump Raid

Rand Paul does a good job in getting in front of the cameras and making statements like this - he's a scrapper and he doesn't mince many words.

BUT comments like these are meant for the cameras. Not for the people. Talk is cheap, Rand. Put up or shut up in January.

Quote
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is confident that Attorney General Merrick Garland could face a possible impeachment over the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s Florida residence, Mar-a-Lago.

Predicting that a full investigation won’t happen until after the midterms commence in November, Paul demanded for the order to raid Trump’s house to be revealed.

“I think we have to know under what pretense they think this is right?,” Paul questioned, adding “This is really something that’s going to require an investigation,” Paul said. “And I wouldn’t be surprised if the investigation leads to abuse of power that this could even lead to an impeachment of the attorney general.”

Noting that the senator has never been a fan of “overusing impeachment,” Paul  said that investigation into the raid absolutely needs to happen.

“And if it warrants it, there’s going to have to be a look at whether or not the attorney general has misused his office for political purposes. Have they gone after a political opponent? I mean, this is beyond the pale… No one would have ever imagined before that we would be using or one political party would be using the FBI to attack their political opponents,” Paul said.

Meanwhile Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) also called on Garland to resign, as well as the FBI to be completely reformed along with FBI director Christopher Wray.

“The raid by Joe Biden’s FBI on the home of a former president who is also Biden’s chief political opponent is an unprecedented assault on democratic norms and the rule of law… Biden has taken our republic into dangerous waters,” Hawley said in a tweet.

Garland or Biden or Name of Democrat Here could be impeached for being found in bed with a dead woman and a live boy and not get tossed out of office.

Sad but true...

I dunno. While Congress isn't at all configured for impeachment or a conviction at this point, I think it's possible after the mid-terms if the predicted "red wave" happens.

The MAL raid is a game-changer (of sorts) but like always, they gotta put up or shut up. Most often the Repubs talk a great game but completely fail to deliver.

Apparently, MTG has submitted articles of impeachment against Garland. They won't go anywhere in this Congress, of course, but possibly in January.

Again, I'll believe it when I see it.

Even still, unless that red wave completely blows out the Senate RINOs rendering them impotent and then brings over a few Dems (not likely), conviction in the Senate is a pipe dream.
