Gowdy and Jordan etc were simply show boating,
And were completely, unprofessional, asses.
They should be impeached for trying to force Ray and Rosenstein to break the rules and protocol and best practices for on going investigations....
And they DO NOT care about what they are asking for....
They haven't even read, the thousands of documents they forced Rosenstein to turn over....
They are playing DIRTY TRICKS.... SAD.
Why don't people know ANYTHING? Members of Congress cannot be impeached. Impeachment is only used to remove members of the Executive Branch from their jobs.
yeah, WHY don't they Know anything?
At the federal level, Article I, Section 2, Clause 5 of the Constitution grants to the House of Representatives "the sole power of impeachment", and Article I, Section 3, Clause 6 grants to the Senate "the sole Power to try all Impeachments". In considering articles of impeachment, the House is obligated to base any charges on the constitutional standards specified in Article II, Section 4: "The President, Vice President, and all civil Officers of the United States shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors".[2] (Full text of clauses

Recall of Legislators and the Removal
of Members of Congress from Office
Congressional Research Service
Summary
Under the United States Constitution and congressional practice, Members of Congress may have
their services ended prior to the normal expiration of their constitutionally established terms of
office by their resignation or death, or by action of the house of Congress in which they are a
Member by way of an “expulsion,” or by a findin
g that in accepting a subsequent “incompatible”
public office, the Member would be deemed to have vacated his congressional seat.
Under Article I, Section 5, clause 2, of the Constitution, a Member of Congress may be removed
from office before the normal expiration of his or her constitutional term by an “expulsion” from
the Senate (if a Senator) or from the House of Representatives (if a Representative) upon a formal
vote on a resolution agreed to by two-thirds of
the Members of that body present and voting.
While there are no specific grounds for an expulsion expressed in the Constitution, expulsion
actions in both the House and the Senate have generally concerned cases of perceived disloyalty
to the United States, or the conviction of a criminal statutory offense which involved abuse of
one’s official position. Each house has broad authority as to the grounds, nature, timing, and
procedure for an expulsion of a Member. However,
policy
considerations, as opposed to questions
of authority, have appeared to restrain the Senate and House in the exercise of expulsion when it
might be considered as infringing on the electoral process, such as when the electorate knew of
the past misconduct under consideration and still elected or re-elected the Member.
