Democrats KILL Alejandro Mayorkas' impeachment
2024-04-18
[MAIL] Democratic Senators have dismissed both impeachment charges against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and blocked a historic trial over his role the border crisis.

President Biden's border chief escaped an investigation and first impeachment of a cabinet secretary in 150 years after the Senate voted along party lines to kill both articles.

Republicans claimed their rivals were trying to 'set the Constitution ablaze' and break '200 years of precedent' by shutting down the trial before it had even began.

The GOP says Mayorkas is to blame for the historic surge in migrants crossing the southern border and claim his policies show the dire situation is intentional.

It is a victory for the White House who have called the impeachment a sham, and an embarrassing defeat for House Republicans who have also stalled in their investigation into President Biden.

#9  Murkowski voted 'present' on one of the articles. How much you want to bet that Murkowsli, Romney and Collins were the last three to vote on each article of impeachment when they knew they didn't need to sabotage the Repub's again?

#8  One more example of the "Rule of Law" now being merely more words to fool the rubes when needed. We are entering an Imperial era, and the new aristocracy doesn't look, sound or think like Traditional Americans. They are the AINOs, American In Name Only.

#7  The impeachment was never going to happen. The investigations to reveal the plane flights and logistics support made it to the American people at large.
