An influential Republican on the House Intelligence Committee says the bombshell evidence disclosed this week challenging the credibility and bias of a CIA analyst who prompted the Ukraine influence scandal seven years ago is so powerful that it warrants Congress expunging the 2019 impeachment vote against President Donald Trump.

"I think it is time that we expunge this impeachment and get rid of it," Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., told the Just the News, No Noise television show on Wednesday night. "...Historically, we need to show that we're going to stand up for the rule of law, for truth and justice. And this was unfairly done to President Trump."

Just the News reported Sunday that documents recently declassified by the Office of Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) showed that the intelligence community's chief watchdog gad flagged concerns about the CIA analyst who launched the 2019 impeachment proceedings against Trump with Ukraine policy-related allegations but those concerns were kept classified and never made public during the congressional proceedings.

The concerns included that the accuser had the "potential for bias," had provided false information in his initial complaint and had animus toward conservatives inside Trump's circles, according to documents declassified by DNI Tulsi Gabbard this week.

Gabbard blasted Atkinson's work on Monday, suggesting the former watchdog had "weaponized the whistle-blower process" and used his office to "manufacture a conspiracy that was used as the basis to impeach President Trump."

Others, including former Trump defense lawyers, the FBI and members of Congress, also sharply criticized the withholding of such evidence for six years, with famed law professor Alan Dershowitz going so far as to suggest Trump might have grounds to expunge his 2019 impeachment in the House of Representatives.

Tenney said she agreed with Dershowitz.

"I am just grateful to Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, for actually disclosing this information and seeing the really shoddy, poor intelligence work that was being done," she said. "This so-called whistleblower knew he didn't have the evidence. He used hearsay. He used poor intelligence, or what they call spy craft, in putting together statements and supporting documents that were not supportive of what they were trying to prove, but they covered it up.

"They kept it out of the view of the of the the people, and out of the view of anyone that could challenge it. And they went into this impeachment mode," she added. "So I think Alan Dershowitz is on to something."

Tenney said she also agreed with Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., who on Wednesday urged the House to begin impeachment proceedings against U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, a former chief judge at the FISA Court who raised the ire of Republicans by making several negative rulings against the Trump administration, several of which have been reversed.

This week, the federal appeals court in Washington D.C. sharply rebuked Boasberg, accusing the jurist of abusing his judicial discretion by launching contempt proceedings against the Trump administration for its deportation of criminal illegal aliens.

"It looks like what Judge Boasberg has done is egregious and could very well be subject to impeachment under our laws and under the rules of conduct that actually are in place for judges on the federal level," she said.
