For some reason they did not want to commit. Now Hegseth gets two more months to kill people. Ignore court orders. Prevent promotion of people he doesn't like. And time break the constitution.
They knew Massey was bringing up articles; they should have been THERE at that time. Not on the way out the door.
So why the planned absence, planned cuz Pelosi was in that bunch who missed the vote and she's no rookie. Here are a few reasons I came up with:
1) They wanted to do it in the new congress
2) They thought they could get the impeachment but not the conviction so wait for the new congress
3)They wanted to keep the boogie man alive because it activates the base
4) They were told to miss it
5) They were trapped in a donor cave across town.(cant make fundraising calls in the capital)
Massey said he is not bringing the bill up again he is done. But if that is the case then that lame ducker needs to go home and watch the destruction of America from the comfy of his home.
If Jeffries was any good he would start rangling all the reps that got outed by trump. And he would make sure all the dems showed up for the vote. And he would beg Massey to redo the Bill and appeal to his sense of history. This should be an easy environment to do that. And if he cant do it here and now, I have no faith he can do it next year.
