re: #237 Belafon

Would someone explaing to me where “impeachment” grants the House powers it doesn’t currently have.

Can’t find the tweet in question now, but Kendzior has said official impeachment hearings grant additional investigative/document-seizing powers (or the ability to fast-track such requests). Plus, there’s the whole issue of grabbing the messaging back from GOPers:

They’ve refused to hold impeachment hearings and thus opened the door for show trials https://t.co/bEmDfrvBco

Thread. This is the kind of studied and forceful analysis of the state of our democracy we’d be hearing if there were impeachment hearings. https://t.co/cT2rm0uMJV
