āThere is one contingency in which I wonāt reintroduce the articles of impeachment: Hegseth resigns,ā wrote Republican Rep. Thomas Massie.
Republican US Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky said Wednesday that Pentagon Secretary Pete Hegseth, the most prominent cheerleader and architect of the Trump administrationās illegal war on Iran, will face an impeachment vote in the House of Representativesāunless he submits his resignation first.
āThere is one contingency in which I wonāt reintroduce the articles of impeachment: Hegseth resigns,ā Massie, who unveiled eight impeachment articles against the Pentagon secretary in September, wrote following Democratsā rout of the GOP in Tuesdayās midterm elections. Massie is expected to force a vote on the articlesāwhich accuse Hegseth of extrajudicial killings, waging wars without congressional authorization, and kidnapping a sovereign foreign leaderāas soon as next week.
The Kentucky Republicanās ultimatum came as CNN reported that a āknives-out campaignā against Hegseth intensified following the midterm elections, in which Democrats won control of the House and Senate beginning in January.

Dude needs actual consequences, not an opportunity to walk away without any
I agree. Although those two outcomes (resignation and prosecution) arenāt mutually exclusive.
Arrest him as soon as he resigns. Send him to Guantoanamo
Trump will pardon him and I donāt think we can bring state charges. He canāt pardon impeachment, but the other things he can pardon.
Just drag the legal proceedings for 2 years while he rots in a cell
Thatāsā¦not really an option. Until 2028. Unless someone comes up with State-level charges
Fun prank. Put it in video. āPsych!ā
Can we get a public execution out of it?
Live streamed, like he wanted.
Life in prison. Livestreamed 24/7. Let all fascist traitors spend the rest of their days in the panopticon they want to enslave us under.
The live stream would also be for his own safety because we all know how that went with Epstein
On mute, donāt give him a microphone.
Also do not let him learn how to use semaphore
Add his name to The List.
Not sure if someone is actively maintaining the top N people that need investigation and punishment, butā¦
Vought, Carr, Hegseth, RFK jr, Miller, Bondi, Noem, Musk, Zuckerberg, anyone involved with ICE, all of donnieās family, and of course, donnie himself. But Iām sure Iām forgetting a lot of high-profile scum and there are of course many, many that are lesser known that need to be hauled into court.
Susan Wiles, the whole Doge team, Patel
Bovino needs his day in the barrel.
theil and yarvin.
Will never happen in a country that has been committing war crimes since WWII. Rumsfeld did worse.
Kissingerā¦
You donāt know what Hesgeth did until after the investigation.
That girlās school did not bomb itself.
leaked government group chat on Signal
Military strikes in the Caribbean Sea and Iran
The ouster and misconduct accusations against senior military officers (such as Lt. Gen. Brett Sylvia).
Oh youāre right no one can ever do anything new
Why offer a man accused of war crimes a choice of anything? Just fuck his shit up.
Resignation is unacceptable. Hegseth should be tried and executed for warcrimes and treason.
Betcha if we gave Hegseth to Iran, theyād open Hormuz.
Iāll happily accept the first followed by the second.
OR - okay OR, hear me out here - Leavenworth.
Maybe we could livestream it.
As someone who lives in Washington, I have a very different view of Leavenworth.
While Leavenworth, Washington is a nice little mountain town, Leavenworth, Kansas has something much worse, however itās more fitting for Kegsbreath.
I looked up Leavenworth, KSā¦and I have no idea what youāre talking aboutā¦help a guy out?
Itās a famous prison
šš¾ gotcha, I should have just assumed, but didnāt want to just in case
Federal prison
Thanks fam
Packed with charm, lively festivals, delicious food, unique tours, and year-round fun
Yup! Sure sounds like a Kansas prison!
A better choice would be life in prison or capital punishment.
I thought we were doing firing squads nowadays
We can have one for him. As a little treat.
Like, why? Why give him a choice? Why do they insist on no consequences?
Because consequences mean investigations and that would expose how the game is rigged and how every single one in politics, government and capitalist plays the system.
This is a performance, not a correction.
Because thereās no point impeaching someone who no longer occupies the position youāre trying to impeach them from?
Yes there is.
To prevent him from ever holding public office in the USA.
Clearly didnāt stop Trump.
Not where Iām going. One being impeached may then still be criminally tried.
Give him a pistol with one round a bottle of Jack.
Make it a full magazine, we wouldnāt want him to miss.
Missing could mean doing damage but not enough finish the job. And tbh, heād deserve that
Massie waiting outside the door:
Fun Fact: You can still impeach him after he resigns.
And then execute him for treasonous acts in a kangaroo court.
Learn the lessons of the civil war: kill every last one of them.
General Tecumseh Sherman was one of the best generals from that time period. He literally kicked ass on the battlefield.
His only mistake was stopping before the ocean.
Maybe even televise it. Delicious.
So even as unpopular as Hegseth is, would they get 67 senator votes? Even in the new congress? I truly wonder.
I think if the House presents their case for war crimes, which should be pretty trivial what with the extra-judicial boat strikes and the double-tapping on survivors and Iranian civilian infrastructure, there should be enough military-adjacent Republicans who can also read the mid-term tea leaves who would vote to convict and remove. Start picking apart the admin over the crimes and build it upwards against Krasnov.
Against hegseth? It is plausible theyād succeed. Against Krasnov? Sure Iāll take that bet.
Heāll be fired by Trump if he refuses to resign and things are going that way.
Itās what happened with Rumsfield.
Look up Donald Rumsfeld 2006
This is not an either/or thing. Pressure him to resign and then impeach him anyway!
Whatever he chooses, fingers crossed both options end with imprisonment
Heāll choose impeachment. Oh, boy! The circus is coming to town!
Nah, donāt give him the opportunity to resign.
Why would they let him off the hook?
Itās the tribunal were all waiting for. Not impeachment.
Impeachment doesnāt send him to prison. A tribunal will.
I got a third option right here in case he somehow refuses both the other ones.
