House votes to effectively end the impeachment effort against Pete HegsethHouse Republicans managed to short-circuit a floor vote on the impeachment effort brought against the Defense Secretary by Kentucky Republican Thomas Massie.
The House has voted 211 to 204 to refer the articles of impeachment filed against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to committee, effectively killing the impeachment effort spearheaded by Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky.
Tuesday's vote short-circuits any potential floor vote on the articles of impeachment, and virtually guarantees the measure will not be taken up before the current session of Congress expires.
The vote provided a surprise reprieve for President Trump's embattled Defense Secretary, who was facing an impeachment vote by the full House as early as Wednesday.
Massie reintroduced the articles of impeachment on Monday, accusing Hegseth of high crimes and misdemeanors in connection to the war with Iran and U.S. strikes against Iran and on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific Ocean.

“counterproductive” if the goal is to continue the wrongdoing.
Nope, this is one of the principles of truth and reconciliation. It's predicated on the idea that all parties want to move on from the wrongdoing, rather than one or more wishing to continue it.
not punishing those doing war crimes is not “moving on.” it’s allowing it to continue.
