After yet another acquittal of Obama and Hillary, the House--the legislative body ordained by the Founding Fathers and therefore God as the holy voice of the people--will attempt sextuple jeopardy with another trial, this time lead by Trey Gowdy of South Carolina.

You'd think Boehner would be able to get a show-trial right. He can't even organize that properly.

He should hire Bob McCulloch. He's been known to help out white men with legal problems.

Why not? It's not like the voters care how crazy the Republicans are any more.

After this and voting 5779332 times to repeal ACA, I'd dare say that House Republicans simply don't know to take a hint.

Imagine if the Democrats had done this over any 1 of the 13 similar incidents that happened under Bush. FoxNews, etc., would have tarred and feathered them all for their treasonous display of unpatriotism.

This is like if the Democrats tried to impeach Nixon over Apollo 13.

They know they will lose on specific policy debate so they try to resort to making up fake scandals.

I wonder thought, does anyone really know or care? Granted if they aren't also pursuing legislation and focusing solely on this. But as long as this goes on, it really doesn't have much impact until they find something and then when they find something, the people will be interested and what that is will determine their reaction.

I have a feeling that Ted Cruz will attempt to introduce impeachment charges against Obama over Benghazi and the immigration executive order once the new Congress is sworn in come January. I doubt that it would get that many votes however (possibly only from Jim Inhofe, Jeff Sessions, Mike Lee, Joni Ernst, Tim Scott and Ted Cruz himself).

Only the House can impeach.

Does the House committee expect different results?

My mistake, as I wasn't 100% clear on the impeachment procedure. Even though John Boehner probably won't bring up impeachment charges for a vote in the House, the charges would probably pass easily. Once the impeachment process moves onto the Senate, the only people who would vote to convict Obama would be Ted Cruz and the other 5 Senators that I listed in my earlier post.

Should we start a pool on what Boehner's eventual last vote call as speaker will be?  The options are 1.) another vote to abolish ACA or 2.) another vote to convene the next Benghazi investigation or 3.) another vote to ratify an additional lawsuit against the president?  Quite the legacy.
