Repugs introduce dead-on-arrival articles of impeachment against Dana Nessel
A group of eight Republican state representatives on Thursday introduced a resolution bringing articles of impeachment against Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel that has little chance of being adopted.
State Reps. James DeSana (R-Carleton), Neil Friske (R-Charlevoix), Joseph Fox (R-Fremont), Rachelle Smit (R-Martin), Matt Maddock (R-Milford), Steve Carra (R-Three Rivers), Josh Schriver (R-Oxford) and Angela Rigas (R-Caledonia) brought forth the resolution, accusing Nessel of malfeasance of office, malicious prosecution, violating her oath of office and corruption. All are members of the House Freedom Caucus.
“The House of Representatives has the sole power of impeaching civil officers for corrupt conduct in office. Attorney General Nessel has clearly breached the ethical standards of conduct of the office of attorney general,” DeSana said in a statement.
Nessel, who was reelected to a second term in 2022, could not be immediately reached for comment. ................(more)
