This latest show of fealty, led by California Representative Darrell Issa, would have Trump’s 2019 and 2021 impeachments “expunged as if such Articles had never passed the full House of Representatives.”

“You remember #KyleRittenhouse & how he was made a hero on the right,” Trey Gowdy, a Republican fmr congressman & attorney for #Trump during one of his first-term #impeachments. “#AlexPretti’s #firearm was being lawfully carried.…He never brandished it.”

It replaced a photo by photojournalist Matt McClain, which showed #Trump with his hands folded in front of him, & was accompanied by a longer caption recounting Trump’s first term & his reelection. “Impeached twice, on charges of #AbuseOfPower & #incitement of #insurrection after supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, he was acquitted by the Senate in both trials,” it read in part.

The #NationalPortraitGallery removed a swath of text that mentioned Trump’s 2 #impeachments & the #Jan6, 2021, #insurrection as it swapped out a prominent photo of him this week.
#Trump & the White House posted on social media Fri & Sat to highlight the updated portrait in the “America’s Presidents” exhibition, which now features a framed B&W photo by White House photographer Daniel Torok.#UShistory #whitewashing #revisionism #censorship #propaganda #dictatorship

Representative #JerryNadler, a #NewYork #Democrat who has been one of #Congress’s leading #liberal voices for 3 decades, will not seek re-election next year, heeding a call for generational change roiling his party.
The decision will mark the close of a 34-year congressional career that put Nadler at the center of major #CivilRights battles & 3 presidential #impeachments. It will also almost certainly touch off a crowded primary fight over a rare open Democratic seat in the heart of #Manhattan.

An old rule in Washington holds that you are entitled to your own opinions but you are not entitled to your own #facts. #Trump seems determined to prove that wrong.
Don’t like an #intelligence report that contradicts your view? Go after the analysts. Don’t like cost estimates for your #tax plan? Invent your own. Don’t like a predecessor’s #climate policies? Scrub government websites of underlying #data. Don’t like a #museum exhibit that cites your #impeachments? Delete any mention of them.

Before it was removed last month, the placard had been on display since September 2021, according to a #Smithsonian spokesperson. It read, “Case under redesign (history happens),” & mentioned #Trump’s two #impeachments, as well as details about the other 3 presidents.
…National #Museum of #AmericanHistory spokeswoman Valeska Hilbig told The Post that removing the placard was the only change it made as a result of its content review.

WaPo reported on Thursday that in July, the museum removed a placard describing the #Trump #impeachments & reverted the exhibit to how it looked in 2008. That display—a glass case dominated by a file cabinet damaged in the Watergate break-in—says that “only three presidents have seriously faced removal”: Andrew Johnson, Richard M. Nixon & Bill Clinton.
The placard mentioning Trump was removed from the exhibition,…after what the #Smithsonian called a “review” of “legacy content.” -
Trump’s impeachments have been removed from a Smithsonian exhibit, for now – NPR
Children look at the Star Spangled Banner, the flag that inspired the lyrics of the American national anthem, at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in June in Washington, D.C. Mark Schiefelbein / APBy Scott Neuman, August 1, 20251:15 PM ET
The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. has removed references to President Trump’s two first-term impeachments from an exhibit following a review. The Smithsonian said the references will be restored once the exhibit is updated, but did not provide a timeline.
The exhibit, titled “The American Presidency: A Glorious Burden” includes reference to the impeachments of Presidents Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton and the Watergate scandal that engulfed President Richard Nixon, who resigned rather than face certain impeachment. A temporary label was added in 2021 to include President Trump’s impeachments in 2019 and again in 2021, just days before the end of his first term.
Trump executive order seeks to ‘restore’ American history through Smithsonian overhaul
But the reference to Trump’s impeachments was removed last month. The Smithsonian said in a statement to NPR that after a recent review of the museum’s “legacy content,” it was decided to pull the reference to Trump’s impeachments – which were placed on the exhibit in September 2021 – pending a more substantial overhaul of the exhibit.
“Because the other topics in this section had not been updated since 2008, the decision was made to restore the Impeachment case back to its 2008 appearance,” the statement said. The label on Trump’s impeachments was “intended to be a short-term measure to address current events at the time, however, the label remained in place until July 2025,” the Smithsonian said.
“A large permanent gallery like The American Presidency that opened in 2000,requires [a] significant amount of time and funding to update and renew. A future and updated exhibit will include all impeachments,” the statement said, without providing a timetable for the exhibit’s update.
How will Trump’s executive order affect the Smithsonian?
Last month’s removal of the label follows a confrontation between the White House and Kim Sajet, director of the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery. Trump attempted to dismiss Sajet in late May, calling her “a highly partisan person, and a strong supporter of DEI.” In response, Smithsonian released a statement on June 9 reaffirming its status as an “independent entity” that operates “free from political or partisan influence.”
The Smithsonian’s Board of Regents said that, moving forward, museum directors and staff would be given “specific expectations” for content, along with “reasonable time” to implement any necessary changes to ensure content remains unbiased. Sajet later resigned.

"DOJ moves to boot federal judge from Perkins Coie case"
Next move for the #Trump regime: if a #judge doesn't rule in your favor, use the power of the Federal Government to seek their removal from cases, which petition then justifies appealing anything that comes from such cases.
I suspect #impeachments of #judges who don't do as they're told by the executive branch, using Trump's captive #GOP #Congress, will be next.

@knittingknots2 @SueDiOh I used to think that. It once did. The craven behavior of the Republican senators in Trump’s first two #impeachments showed how toothless it is.

#Trump alluded to unfounded, debunked claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 election. He repeated a baseless theory that Democrats were encouraging undocumented immigrants to vote illegally, misrepresented gender-affirming surgeries for transgender people & revived old grievances about the investigation of the special counsel Robert S. Mueller III & his 2 #impeachments that he had not been asked about.

@SteveRogers
Well, he isn’t wrong. How MANY off-ramps have they had to distance themselves from #tfg? How many #impeachments? But what did they do…#BendTheKnee They own this!! -
#Trump's latest position—that the #Senate's failure to #convict his #impeachments trigger #doubleJeopardy in his #criminal cases—is going nowhere. Double-jeopardy only applies to #criminal #proceedings. #Impeachment is not a criminal proceeding, or even a #legal proceeding. Impeachment is a #political process. Trump is just making shit up, as usual. But it's troubling to see his #lawyers sign on to such rubbish. Unlike Trump, they know better.

Trump’s impeachments? They never happened.
His attempt to extort the Ukrainian president? Erased.
Inciting an insurrection? Attempting to overturn the election? Deleted.
This, apparently, is the #new #hotness in the GOP.
Alas for Kevin McCarthy, #expunging #impeachments is not really a thing in the law or the constitution.
"The reality of it is, you're not -- you can't expunge the impeachment," explained former RNC chairman Michael Steele. “You can take it out of the official Congressional Record, but it doesn't change #history, it doesn't change what happened. It doesn't change the #fact that you and a lot of Republicans are on the record during that time talking about the very thing you said never happened and didn't exist and they weren't saying it didn't happen and it didn't exist."

#Trump …has been pleading his case for days in… the court of #Republican #PublicOpinion, where he continues to dominate….
…After two House #impeachments, multiple #criminal investigations, the #jailing of his business’s fmr accountant, his fmr fixer & his fmr campaign manager, & now 2 criminal indictments, Trump knows the drill, & so do his supporters.
#Idiocracy
