Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) is very angry that House Democrats are not letting him dictate how the impeachment inquiry should be run.
A day after the acting White House chief of staff admitted that the Trump administration withheld security aid to Ukraine in an effort to pressure its governor to investigate political opponents, a Republican congressman authored an op-ed on Friday comparing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff to a "military coup." His reasoning: He doesn't like the way they are conducting the impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump.
Though Trump has not yet been impeached the process by which the House of Representatives brings charges against a president who has committed "high crimes and misdemeanors" Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) claimed that the House Democrats investigating his likely illegal behavior "have more in common with the leaders of a military coup than they think." With a two-thirds vote required in the GOP-controlled Senate for Trump to be removed from office, this process is nothing like a military coup.

(12,712 posts)If these folks see the the reversal and projection they do? Is it just an unconscious habit pattern, or do they sit there and say, hey, let's say they are doing what we are doing? Or is it both? The logic of logical fallacies as a political methodology?
It really stands out like a sore thumb to me.
