Dem congressman calling for Trump's impeachment was once accused of indescribable act involving 118 beagles in his pharmaceutical lab
[NYPOST] A Democratic congressman who is trying to impeach President Trump was once accused of abandoning 118 beagles inside his pharmaceutical testing lab when it went bankrupt.

Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.), who announced Monday he had filed seven articles of impeachment against Trump, was forced to shutter the New Jersey lab, AniClin Preclinical Services, when the parent company that he owned filed for bankruptcy in April 2010.

Several months later, animal activists became aware that the hounds were still stuck inside the since-abandoned facility, HuffPost reported at the time.

Lab workers had allegedly been jumping the facility’s fences to give the beagles food and water. The scores of dogs were eventually rescued from the lab by animal welfare groups that July and later rehomed.

At the time, Thanedar said the Bank of America was in control of the lab after seizing it during the bankruptcy proceedings.

"It is my understanding that Bank of America made arrangements to assign caretakers for the animals and secure homes for them, but those decisions came from the bank after I left the company," Thanedar told the outlet.

"I am an animal lover and completely understand the sensitivity of this issue."

Critics seized on Thanedar’s decade-old animal history this week after he revealed his impeachment efforts against Trump.

"Shri Thanedar left 100’s of dogs to die in cages after testing chemicals on them when his business went bankrupt. He can spare us on the moral outrage," Sen. Aric Nesbitt (R-Mich.) said in an X post with a link to an old news article.

The alleged impeachable actions include the deportation of alleged gangbanger Kilmar Abrego Garcia, as well as "unlawful" cuts carried out by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.

Trump, for his part, ripped Thanedar as a "lunatic."
One of the signs of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
"Some guy that I’ve never heard of ... is he a congressman? This guy, he said ... ’Ladies and gentlemen, I am going to start the impeachment of Donald Trump
...So far he's been unkillable, and they've tried....
.’ What the hell did I do? Here we go again," Trump said Wednesday during a rally marking his first 100 days.
