Botched Hegseth impeachment may have handed Democrats a sharper weapon: legal expert
A RawStory article covers law professor Claire Finkelstein's Guardian column arguing that House Republicans' scuttling of Rep. Thomas Massie's articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — which targeted the Iran war and boat strikes but skipped Signalgate — may have handed Democrats a sharper weapon: an impeachment inquiry's subpoena power, which she says could force out the Office of Legal Counsel memo justifying the boat strikes. She urges Democrats to press on despite expected executive privilege claims, aiming at long-term restoration of checks and balances.
