While the House Judiciary Committee Task Force on Impeachment is preparing to start hearings June 3 on retired U.S. District Judge Samuel B. Kent’s impeachment, Kent won’t be there, says his lawyer Dick DeGuerin. Not only that, Kent intends to turn in his resignation to President Barack Obama today, DeGuerin says, but the resignation isn’t effective until a year from now.
“You know, they can make a spectacle of this if they want to, but we’re not going to participate,” says DeGuerin, a partner in Houston’s DeGuerin & Dickson.
