This can’t be, can it? I mean, it is a private matter? This doesn’t rise to level of high crimes and misdemeanors?

Ohio Dems talking impeachment after AG refuses to resign
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – Risking impeachment, Ohio’s attorney general on Monday refused demands from the governor and other fellow Democrats that he resign over a sexual harassment scandal in his office and an affair with a subordinate.
Gov. Ted Strickland told reporters that Democrats will begin drafting an impeachment resolution against Attorney General Marc Dann right away. Republican House Speaker Jon Husted said Monday that his chamber—which takes the first step in any impeachment—was already reviewing the process.
Virtually every state-level Democratic officeholder urged Dann to resign in a letter late Sunday after Strickland tried twice during the day to persuade him to leave office.
