Well, barring the DOJ doing their job, which they won’t. They allege crimes grave enough to call for impeachment. There is rigorous debate. A vote is called. If it passes then the senate takes the case and renders a vote.
That’s the limited power of Congress. They conduct oversight, but republicans know that regardless of the severity of crimes, I highly doubt, given the slim margins in the House, they will proceed with impeachment. This is why there isn’t a need to call for specific laws violated. But again, the DOJ will not take the case regardless so all the house can do is conduct oversight. Sucks man, but she’s right as horrible as her squawking voice is, she’s simply pointing out that there is no teeth to what the republicans are doing as it stands. What she doesn’t say is the other part, that the DOJ won’t do anything even if there was. That’s what the IRS whistleblower hearing was all about.
To be distinct, I should have used alleged instead of charged as the House can’t do that themselves. They can recommend charges, but that’s where their power stops.
