A day didn't go by after Trump took his oath of office that the Democrats did not had the main goal of impeaching him. Never mind that the reasons turned out to be lies but the legacy media supported the lies and the Department of Justice and the FBI went after him.
But all hope for the Left came crashing down after the Robert Mueller 22-month investigation ended in 2019 with the failure to find something to impeach him with.
Plan B came to pass when the Left tried to imply that a phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was about Trump asking him to investigate the Biden family business dealings with Ukraine. So there was a sham inquiry and Trump was impeached by the House.
Plan C came one week after the January 6, 2021 Capitol incursion, the House voted to impeach Trump a second time over his alleged role in what Democrats insist to this day was an “insurrection.”
Sadly for the Jackass party, this impeachment trial ended the same way as Trump was acquitted by the Senate.
However, The Washington Times reports that the House Republicans are considering expunging Trump’s impeachments from the record. Heads on the Left will explode. Adam Schiff will schiff a brick.
According to The Times, 42 Republicans are on board with the idea, including House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (NY). She got behind the resolution to exonerate Trump, but the Democrats, of course, refused to vote on it when the Democrats had full control of Congress. So even if Trump was exonerated due to the fact that these allegations were all lies, the Left hates him enough to allow the record to stand.
But now that Republicans control the House, it’s a real possibility.
Rep. Andrew Clyde of Georgia called both impeachments “inappropriate” and said he would “certainly be interested” in wiping them off the books. Rep. Pat Fallon of Texas told the Times he was “definitely interested.”
The lead sponsor of the resolution was then-Rep. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, who won his Senate race in November. Mullin had previously spearheaded a resolution to expunge the first impeachment as well.
However, some Republicans are weasels and are less ready to support expunging the record. Rep. Dan Bishop (NC) said, “I tend to think we’ve got plenty to focus on looking through the front windshield, rather than the back.”

Of course, if it was Bishop in the rearview mirror with impeachment on his resume, he would be singing a different tune.
While the expungement of Trump’s impeachments would be huuugely demoralizing for the Democrats, with only 20 percent of the Republican conference supporting the resolution, it isn't going to be enough to get it to fly. In order to clear the record, an almost unanimous backing by the GOP House would be needed but too many of them are RINOs.
