House Democrats will introduce five articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday, accusing him of war crimes in connection with the Iran war, abuse of power and mishandling of the Department of Defense (DOD).
Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.), the first Iranian American Democrat in Congress, will introduce the impeachment resolution, Axios reported after it obtained a copy of the resolution.
Eight Democrats are co-sponsoring the long-shot resolution: Reps. Steve Cohen (Tenn.), Jasmine Crockett (Texas), Nikema Williams (Ga.), Sarah McBride (Del.), Brittany Pettersen (Colo.), Dina Titus (Nev.), Dave Min (Calif.) and Shri Thanedar (Mich.).
Ansari announced last week that she was filing articles of impeachment, which are almost certain to go nowhere in the GOP-controlled House. She accused Hegseth of being “complicit” in President Trump’s “devastating, illegal war” in Iran.
The first article accuses Hegseth of violating his oath of office in overseeing an “unauthorized war against Iran and reckless endangerment of United States service members.” The resolution goes on to accuse the secretary of war crimes by targeting civilians and breaking the rules of armed conflict, followed by the alleged mishandling of sensitive information.

What a bunch of jokers.
The socialists need an issue to call their own. Right now, the commies are shootin’ blanks. Pitiful really.
Demwits just trying to take the heat off Swalwell.
Not hard to find prosecutions of Dems AND their families.
LOL LOL and since these morons dont have the votes the GOP can wipe their asses with the piece of paper. Seriously dont these morons have anything better to do, Gee I dont remember any of them giving two craps about Obama bombing Libya for SEVEN MONTHS and bombing other countries and killing innocent people..and lets not forget Biden killing a family of 10
Morons
President DJT, IIRC, asked during the SOTU whether the members and senators favored illegal aliens over U. S. Citizens.
Perhaps a parallel question to the Dems...
Do you support a victory in the Iran War, defined as the removal of all WMD (especially including nukes)?
Am I misreading or are the Dems guided by a sick imperative for power and control that seems to guide their 24/agenda, to the exclusion of successes for the GOPers, at the disadvantage of our Wonderful Country?
Asking, not accusing.
Do politicians want to avoid difficult decisions?
Do they want their children and grand children to deal with Iran when they have nuclear weapons and delivery systems?
Do they want their children and grand children to have to deal with the unsustainable debt?
It wasn’t until 1972 that Democrats decided to use it to go after a politician they simply loathed.
When Clinton actually flirted with high crimes and misdemeanors Republicans went through the motions but ultimately let him off the hook, opening the floodgates for this never-ending Democrat crap.
What a joke. Democrats have made impeachment the political equivalent of a parking ticket.
Will Adam shifty take the evidence, classify it, and lock it up in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility like the Trump Russian collusion hoax impeachmentS ?
TERM “IRANIAN-AMERICAN” ALONE IS AN OXYMORON
Complete and utter desperation has gripped the demoncrats!
Impeachment??
No one agrees with these narcissistic women.
Jasmine Crocket?
LOLOLLL!
Actually, it’s a badge of honor.
The usual bullshxt coming from azzholes.
You demoncraps can wipe ur a$$ with your “resolutions
...
Losers. smh
What a laugh. The majority of the Congressional members from the RAT party have violated their oath of office to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.
