Two U.S. Congressmen have introduced an Article of Impeachment against President Donald Trump for obstruction of justice.
Reps. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) and Al Green (D-Texas) announced the article Wednesday afternoon.
Sherman said he believes Trump's conversations with and firing of former FBI Director James Comey constitute obstruction of justice. Comey was leading an investigation into alleged Russian election meddling and potential collusion by the Trump campaign.
"I am pleased that Congressman Al Green (D-TX) has joined me in filing Articles of Impeachment against Donald J. Trump," Sherman said in a release. "We now begin the effort to force the House Judiciary Committee to hold hearings on Obstruction of Justice and Russian interference in our election."
Sherman's statement has harsh words for Trump, calling him "America’s amateur President."
"We’re no longer surprised by any action, no matter how far below the dignity of the office — and no matter how dangerous to the country," he said.
The move comes a day after Trump's son, Donald Jr., released emails showing he met last year with a Russian lawyer for possible information against then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Sherman said more Articles of Impeachment may emerge as evidence comes from separate investigations, but they believe there is sufficient evidence for obstruction to move forward.
The representative said he sees two possible outcomes from introducing Articles of Impeachment:
• "I have slight hope it will inspire an ‘intervention’ in the White House. If Impeachment is real, if they actually see Articles, perhaps we will see incompetency replaced by care."
• "Second, and more likely, filing Articles of Impeachment is the first step on a very long road. But if the impulsive incompetency continues, then eventually — many, many months from now — Republicans will join the impeachment effort."
RINO AINO Ryan will go for this.
ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE repeal? Not so much.
Didn’t have to. The title alone made me laugh.
whatever
because Trump was elected President and nothing else
Two republican congressmen should file impeachment and ethical charges against these two clowns.
Everything these wild-eyed lib congresscreeps do nowadays is for playing to their loon base and fundraising.
the Dems are running out of options
“Republicans will join the impeachment effort.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Only if they wish to commit political suicide.
OMG thanks for the chuckles..it only has ONE supporter..two morons who deserve each other..they do realize this is going NO WHERE right..but hey its always fun to waste paper..Brad Sherman, a total loser unfortunately he comes from a long line of losers in my state
Since when have they cared about WINNING?-)
Those are High Crimes and Misdemeanors: talking to Comey (the FBI director)then firing him.
Who does Trump think he is anyway?
POTUS?
It’s always a good laugh when Congress members and media both trot out official-sounding language in a vain attempt to be dramatic.
They can ‘introduce’ Articles or they can ‘introduce’ their pet goats. If it doesn’t happen in session in the House it doesn’t happen.

This is an old story and a bunch of BS.
But this will provide headline fodder for much of the MSM for at least a few days, and will take up some time on the Sunday talk shows.... That might be their only realistic goal.
If these jokers are concerned with “obstruction of justice”, maybe they should take a close look at Loretta Lynch and Hitlery Clinton.
The both of them are crybaby drama queens along with many more of the RATs.
