JD Vance: Has Pete Hegseth committed any impeachable crime,…absolutely not

Share:

VIA JD VANCE ON X:

Has Pete Hegseth committed impeachable crimes? The question is absurd and the answer is: obviously not.

Like so much of Congress, impeachment has become a ridiculous show that stands in for actual policymaking. Congress has so many tools for registering its policy disagreements. Rather than use them, they’re going to try to impeach Pete Hegseth. They did the same to Donald Trump. Legislation is hard. Impeachments are easy (and ultimately, inconsequential).

The irony is that legislators are most angry at Pete on the issues where he’s most correct: repositioning forces away from Europe/Ukraine and reorganizing the general officer corps.

This isn’t about Iran, this is about the fact that Pete took on the bureaucracy at the Pentagon.
