Well....from their state House of Representative....the governor will go through a impeachment process. There are enough votes to carry it to the next level...the state Senate....of the 67 members....34 are Democrat....so the measure (likely to hit in mid-March) will likely fail.
However, there's some odd complications.
Based on weekend developments....the Lt Governor (Peggy Flanagan) is conntected to the protest crowd (via Signal, the messaging system used to connect the protest folks to their 'mission').
It's now likely that a 2nd impeachment will be called on Flanagan. I also think the AG will be dragged onto a impeachment effort.
So....this brings up the 34 Dem's in the Senate. At least one is facing fed-fraud charges, and I'm likely to be suspicious that it's only ONE. In four weeks....there could be several Senate members drawn into a bigger investigation.
If the two or three Dem members of the Senate are detained/arrested....the majority shifts, and the impeachment follows....of probably more than just the Governor.
I should add the head-guy of the Senate....while NOT under a fraud investigation....he is under some ethical investigation....for failing to note connections to non-profits.
So there's a fair number of folks who are in a tough situation.
