Talk about a "witch hunt."
It wasn't just one or two Republicans.
But 11 House Conservative lawmakers who just distinguished themselves as enemies of the state.
The group of House Republicans, led by North Carolina Representative Mark Meadows, Freedom Caucus head, filed articles of impeachment against Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstien Wednesday.
Rosenstien is the key justice department official overseeing Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia's interference in our 2016 presidential elections and possible collusion with the Donald Trump campaign.
Trump's loyalist critics on the House oversight committee have been attacking the Mueller probe for months, contocting absurd claims of "lack of transparency" and questioning Mueller and the justice department's motives.
While Meadows' call for Rosenstien's impeachment appears to lack any broad support, it's still a pathetic state of affairs in light of Mueller's 32 indictments so far and the exhaustive known connections between the Trump administration and Russia.
By defending a President who treasonously fails to defend the United State's democratic sovereignty before a conniving Russian dictator, Meadows and company have clearly aligned themselves with America's adversaries.
And history will remember them that way.
