Both Punchbowl and Politico Playbook Wednesday morning editions are dedicated to earning their respective outlets’ access chits with House Republicans by heralding their impeachment efforts once again. This time it’s aimed at Homeland Security Secretary Alex Mayorkas, with Punchbowl especially dedicated to carrying Homeland Security Chair Mark Green’s Kool-Aid.
Said Green in a statement: “Our investigation made clear that this crisis finds its foundation in Secretary Mayorkas’ decision-making and refusal to enforce the laws passed by Congress, and that his failure to fulfill his oath of office demands accountability. The bipartisan House vote in November to refer articles of impeachment to my Committee only served to highlight the importance of our taking up the impeachment process – which is what we will begin doing next Wednesday.”
