As Rep. Doug Collins of Georgia (R) said about this “They can’t get over the fact that Donald Trump is the president of the United States, and they don’t have a candidate that can beat him.” They’ve been working towards this since Trump won the election, and now we get
Dems expected to announce at least 2 articles of impeachment against Trump on Tuesday
House Democrats are preparing to announce at least two articles of impeachment against President Trump on Tuesday, Fox News has learned.
The articles of impeachment will focus on obstruction of Congress and abuse of power, but all details aren’t settled yet, Fox News is told. A markup session by the Judiciary Committee to prepare the articles would come either Wednesday or Thursday.
Notably absent from the planned charges was a “bribery” count. Democrats had repeatedly accused the president of essentially bribing Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden, and even floated the idea of drafting an article of impeachment to that effect. But, it quickly emerged that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee had conducted focus groups to determine that Democrats should use the term “bribery” purely for political benefit, even as legal experts disputed whether Trump had bribed anyone.
So, obstruction of a partisan political inquiry that wouldn’t have happened if Democrats (and right leaning NeverTrumpers) weren’t so unhinged, obsessed, and deranged. We’ll have to see how abuse of power shakes down in relation to the accusation of quid pro quo. Remember, the Democratic Party run House Judiciary Committee released a report Saturday in which it argued that a president may be impeached for “illegitimate motives†even if his actions are “legally permissible.†The report states: “The question is not whether the President’s conduct could have resulted from permissible motives. It is whether the President’s real reasons, the ones in his mind at the time, were legitimate.â€
Democrats should remember that they have now set the bar that Politics 101 is now grounds for impeachment, and shouldn’t be surprised if Republicans do the same thing against a sitting Democrat president. Though, they won’t, because they aren’t stupid. Speaking of stupid
