Matt Gaetz: Dems Want to Carry out ‘Impeachment in Drag’

‘They sort of want to dress up this deal as impeachment without having to invoke that term’

RUSH EXCERPT:

GAETZ: “I am. We do have a lot of game tape from William Barr from his many hours in the Senate today. I find it a little comical that my democratic colleagues would say it’s not enough that Bill Barr went before the Senate Judiciary Committee which has three presidential candidates from the democratic side on the committee. And it’s not even enough that Bill Barr offered to come to the Congress and answer questions under The Five-minute rule and it’s not even enough that after every member got to ask their five minutes of questions, Bill Barr was willing to submit to an additional hour of questions so long as those questions were asked by people who were elected and serving in the Congress not some hired gun brought in for that specific purpose. Martha, the only other time I can see where the House Judiciary Committee has had staff asking questions at an open hearing is during an impeachment proceeding. That’s really the whole point here. The Democrats want to have impeachment in drag. They sort of want to dress up this deal as impeachment without having to invoke that term because they know that it will excite a lot of the body politic and certainly rally people to the president’s side.”
