Bennie Thompson Signals Accountability for Kristi Noem -- Impeachment Now On the Table? - Liberal Lens

[Rhiannon12866]

House Homeland Security Committee Chair Bennie Thompson is asked directly whether impeachment is on the table for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem—and his answer is unmistakable. While stopping short of naming impeachment outright, Thompson makes clear that nothing is off the table as Democrats launch a nationwide accountability effort examining ICE operations, FEMA decisions, and alleged abuses of power.

This exchange reveals how congressional oversight actually works: gathering testimony, listening to impacted communities, coordinating across committees, and following the facts wherever they lead. Thompson also delivers a stark warning about masked agents, civil liberties, and the dangers of drifting away from democratic norms.

This isn’t about political theater. It’s about whether anyone in government is truly above the law.

Watch closely—this process is just beginning. - 01/18/2026.

1. I'm glad Bennie Thompson is in charge of this.

He will be very thorough, not intimidated by anyone in the administration, and honest about the results of their investigation.

2. Sadly, we would have to stop at prison sentencing

because we ALL KNOW if any of Trump's "handpicked darlings" are sentenced, Trump will IMMEDIATELY COMMUTE THOSE SENTENCES.

The BEST alternativen IS TO PROSECUTE IN THE STATES WHERE THEIR DESPICABLE CRIMES WERE COMMITED so baby-assed Trump can't touch them.
