Republicans in the House of Representatives believe they will inflict a final defeat on the Democrats by completely removing Trump’s impeachment from the books

Since former President Donald Trump was sworn into office six years ago, Democrats have had one goal: impeachment.

First, with much support from the Justice Department, the FBI, and the mainstream media, they claimed he conspired with the Kremlin to win the presidential election. Their hopes were dashed when Robert Muller’s 22-month witch hunt ended in failure in the spring of 2019.

They then seized on a phone call during which Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate the Biden family’s business dealings in the country. The House of Representatives impeached Trump after a bogus investigation.

Finally, a week after the Capitol invasion on January 6, 2021, the House of Representatives voted for the second time to impeach Trump over his alleged role in what Democrats to this day call “the uprising.”

As you know, both impeachment trials ended with Trump’s acquittal by the Senate.

Now, according to The Washington Times, Republicans in the House of Representatives are considering removing Trump from the impeachment record.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, when asked if he was ready to introduce such legislation, said: “We will consider it. … When you discover that the final information in the Russian document is a lie, and we watch what he went through, I will understand why the participants will want to push it.”

The Times noted that 42 Republicans, including House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik of New York, supported the resolution to acquit Trump, but the Democrat-controlled Congress refused to vote for it.

Now that the Republicans control the House of Representatives, this is entirely possible.

Should Trump’s impeachments be expunged from the archives?

Rep. Andrew Clyde of Georgia called both impeachments “irrelevant” and said he was “definitely interested” in getting them off the books. Rep. Pat Fallon of Texas told the Times he was “definitely interested.”

The lead sponsor of the resolution was then a member of the House of Representatives. Markwain Mullin of Oklahoma, who won his race for the Senate in November. Mullin had previously also spearheaded a resolution to strike down the first impeachment.

But not all Republicans are so enthusiastic. North Carolina Rep. Dan Bishop said, “I tend to think we have a lot of things to focus on looking through the front windshield rather than the back.”

Texas Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro said such a move would be “covering up and rewriting history.” He added: “It wouldn’t surprise me at all. … They are blindly loyal [Trump]”.

While a reversal of Trump’s impeachment would be extremely demoralizing for Democrats, and that would be fine, the support of 42 GOP lawmakers — roughly 20 percent of the Republican conference — is not enough to get this resolution off the ground. Clearing the record would require near-unanimous support from members of the Republican Party.
