A "WEAPONIZATION" oldie but goodie, November 8, 2022: Trump asks "HOW MANY TIMES are you going to impeach Biden?"

Twice-Impeached Trump Wants to Know “How Many” Times GOP Will Impeach Biden
Trump has yet to explain why he believes Biden deserves to be impeached.

Former President Donald Trump, who was impeached twice during his single tenure in office, is privately asking his allies in Congress “how many” times they intend to impeach President Joe Biden should they win control of the House of Representatives in the midterm races.

As of right now, it’s unclear who will win control of either house of Congress, as the data suggests it could go either way. But most prognosticators believe that the GOP will take over the House come January.

=According to reporting from Rolling Stone, Trump asked for a timeline of when Biden could be impeached, including when inquiries into his alleged misconduct could begin, two sources with knowledge of the conversations said. He also asked multiple times how many members of the GOP caucus would support attempts to impeach Biden.

“Biden deserves it,” Trump said, according to one of the sources — though for what reason Trump believes Biden should be impeached, it’s unclear.

They would've liked to, but they couldn't find one little bit of misconduct from Joe Biden. Walleye Thursday #1
I'm guessing the number Trump had in mind was "three." Miles Archer Thursday #2
Yeah, screw the concept of high crimes and misdemeanors. Just impeach him because Trump says to. Walleye Thursday #3

It had to be at least one more than his own two impeachments, or he wouldn't have asked.
