Representative Ro Khanna, a California Democrat, said Monday that some Republicans are “on board” with potentially impeaching Attorney General Pam Bondi over the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) failure to release all of its files related to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by the congressionally mandated deadline.

Pointing out that Representative Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, would be “leading” the effort if it moves forward, Khanna said during an interview with Morning Joe on MS Now that “there are a few Republicans who are on board with it.” However, he noted that this would not be the first step to pressure Bondi and the DOJ, highlighting that they’d first move forward with pushing to hold her in contempt of Congress.

    Every GOP Congressmember and a third of the Senators will be up for re-election next year.

    Dropping the hammer on Bondi [and Trump] will be a smart way for them to try and stave off a Blue Wave.

      They’re still trying to work out if Trump can get full unchecked power in time or not.

      When it happens, it will go from a trickle to a panic sprint to the exits, quickly.

        I think of it this way.

        If an alcoholic can’t get booze they’re way more likely to look for pot or meth or anything else, rather than go to treatment.

        Same thing with MAGA. Even if they dump Trump they aren’t going to want to quit the movement.

        Genii isn’t going back in the bottle.
