Ro Khanna Says Top Trump Officials Could Face Impeachment Over Epstein Files Fiasco

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) said during multiple TV appearances Friday that he and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) are pondering impeachment charges against Attorney General Pam Bondi, citing the newly released but heavily redacted Justice Department files on the late accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

“Thomas Massie and I talked about it,” Khanna told “The Source” host Kaitlan Collins. “He’s working, as am I, on drafting articles of impeachment and inherent contempt. We haven’t decided whether to move it forward yet, but we’re in the process of doing it.”

“The problem that the attorney general has, if you just look at the comments to our social media feed, is the amount of MAGA influencers who are upset with her,” he continued. “The issue for her is not, ‘Are there gonna be 212 Democrats who would support it?’”

Khanna and Massie, who both serve on the House Oversight Committee, co-sponsored the Epstein Files Transparency Act and garnered enough bipartisan support to compel the Justice Department to release any remaining files within 30 days. The DOJ appeared to meet the Dec. 19 deadline, only to release a fraction of the documents — many heavily redacted.

and his corrupt officials should be removed from office via the impeachment process for scores of crimes and misconduct, this being the most recent example.

This won’t happen, of course, because Congressional Republicans are just as corrupt and dishonest.

The problem is that the Founders didn’t foresee the impeachment process being so corrupted and rendered useless by Republican blind partisanism.

Those who are responsible should face the consequences of their actions. As has been said so often lately, this cannot be allowed to stand.

If this isn’t high crimes and misdemeanors. I really couldn’t say what they may be.

Congressmen behind Epstein files law draft articles of impeachment for AG Bondi

Remember there is a process for this as a "privileged motion" and since the House is "In Recess Subject to the Call of the Chair" (doing pro-forma sessions) until (I believe) January 6, they would need to decide the timing of introduction (and would also need to whip support as the thing could be instantly tabled due to Democrats being in the minority).
