Today (September 28) I watched the first hearing of the impeachment investigation (or whatever they are calling it) of Joe Biden.  Not that this podcast  on what the Founders meant by impeachment  will be of much use to the Republican Caucus  Even their three  expert witnesses told them there were no grounds for their investigation.  Unless they just wanted to investigate for the sake of investigation.  Which I suspect is their purpose.  Fox News had two experts  discuss what they had just seen.  They said that this would probably last until next August, and  not turn up anything.  As one noted, this is similar to what they did to Hillary with the Benghazi investigation, which produced absolutely nothing.  But it drove her ratings down, as one person said.  

Back in 2021 I posted my very first podcast.  Ironically, it had to do with impeachment.  That is, what out founders meant by impeachment.  It occurred to me that some of you might be interested in what they were thinking, back in Olden Times. 

This is based on a class briefing lecture.
