McConnell: Impeachment 'Is Whatever a Majority of the House Decides It Is...'

(CNSNews.com) - "Do you view the House impeachment inquiry as illegitimate?" a reporters asked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell at his news conference on Tuesday.
McConnell did not directly answer the legitimacy question, except to say that an impeachable offense is whatever the House wants it to be:
Well, look, impeachment, as a practical matter, is whatever a majority of the House decides it is at any given moment.
And it appears that the Democrats, emboldened by the new majority they've had this year, have been on this path for three years. The first headline I saw--I think it was in the Washington Post before the president was sworn in was that the impeachment process was beginning.
So, this is just further evidence that this is what they had in mind from the very beginning.
