Impeachment is always done by the House of Representatives. An already impeached AG would then stand trial in the Senate with the House of Representatives acting as the prosecution, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court as the Judge, and the Senate as the jury. Even then, the result of a conviction is just the loss of the AG job. There is no sentencing phase in this proceeding. But the result does place the convicted AG back into private civilian status where he supposedly can be tried and punished for his crimes. So, this post is probably accurate in that there is probably no point to impeachment unless the Senate is controlled by the Republicans as well. This procedure cost the Republican party dearly when they tried to impeach Clinton for perjury, and they don’t want to go through that scenario again. The only way to get rid of Holder, will be to vote out his boss. We had better get working on that scenario right away!
