Exclusive — ‘Completely Unconstitutional’: Rep. Tom McClintock Defends His Opposition to Mayorkas Impeachment
Breitbart ^ | 11/15/2023 | BRADLEY JAYE

Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA) joined Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM Wednesday to defend his opposition to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) resolution to impeach Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas.

McClintock and seven other Republicans voted with Democrats Monday night to send Greene’s privileged resolution to the House Committee on Homeland Security, a procedural move that essentially killed the proposal.

“It’s completely unconstitutional,” McClintock told host Mike Slater of Greene’s effort. “Impeachment is a very limited power to remove officials for, quote, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors…”

I'd argue that allowing criminals and terrorists over the border and taxing Americans to pay for it is a high crime and misdemeanor.Not to mention facilitating the import of deadly drugs, which as defined, kill people.

It’s not unconstitutional, twit.

If you really want to CYA you should’ve gone with it was a stunt because he wouldn’t have been convicted in the senate.

But then you’ve shown that you’re a DNC plant here

So aiding in the invasion of America is not a crime. McClintock needs to be primaried.

So how does deliberately allowing and enabling a foreign invasion of ten million people not compute to high crimes and misdemeanours ?

Ass-clown McClintock strikes again. And shame on any Freeper who was conned by the supposed “conservatism” of this fool.

When is FR going to start ignoring their deceptive speeches, and start looking at their donors ?

They are “presenting” as conservatives.

But they can’t pass the Crocodile Dundee test.

What happened to him? Was he always a traitor? Many years ago, I heard good things about him, but that was years ago.

"“It’s completely unconstitutional,” McClintock told host Mike Slater of Greene’s effort. “Impeachment is a very limited power to remove officials for, quote, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors…”"

"Section 4

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."

Somehow having border patrol cutting concertina wire to let hordes of illegals seems to go in direct contravention of duty. Si doez shipping illegals around the country.
So, McClintock, does it become a high crime if one or more illegals are "persons of interest" who commit an act of terror on US soil? Let me guess, only if they're caught....

McClintock is an idiot. Mayorkas is committing treason, and arrogantly lies to the Congress when they haul his sorry ass up before them.

One of the problems is that they elect mean Democrats and we elect weak Republicans.

That is a bad combination.
