Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison, a top candidate to take over as chair of the Democratic National Committee, called Wednesday for an impeachment investigation of President Donald Trump.
“I think that Donald Trump has already done a number of things which legitimately raise the question of impeachment,” Ellison said during a debate on CNN on Wednesday with his fellow DNC chair hopefuls.
The left-wing Ellison, who is one of the top contenders for DNC chair, argued that Trump was in violation of the emoluments clause, a constitutional clause which prohibits presidents from receiving payment from foreign governments. Some Trump opponents have claimed that the Republican is in violation of the federal law because Trump hotels have received payment from foreign dignitaries.
Ellison joins a small group of Democratic lawmakers who have said impeaching Trump is on the table. California Rep. Maxine Waters, Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin and Texas Rep. Joaquin Castro have all said the Republican should be impeached. Nancy Pelosi, the House Minority Leader, has pushed back on the idea.

Ellison will be in prison before Trump is ever impeached by the fringe party...
All the other Democrats are calling for it, why not him?
btw, it’s a good thing that the NYC and the rest of the eastern seaboard is balanced out by LA and the rest of SoCal, otherwise we might have a major problem on our hands.
The situation isn’t great when it comes to elections, but at least North America won’t tip over! ;)
And yet, I still hope he’s selected to head the DNC.
If my memory serves me correctly I believe the an IQ of 75 or below is considered “incompetent” quotations are mine. So give him a little credit. It could be as high as 75.
Interesting. ..Ellison represents rich, white, liberals.
Hey...Dufus! Now that all of us know you think it was the Germans who bombed Pearl Harbor, why should any of us listen to anything you have to say? If I were from MN, I’d be ashamed that you even have a voice for us.
Ellison is a buffoon like most of the Dims, but a dangerous one because he has access to classified information and gets to vote for laws.
I just want someone to point out on one of these shows, like some media person who remembers what it is like to actually be a journalist, that by the definition they are using, Obama was in violation of the clause if any foreign dignitary ever bought a copy of his book from a bookstore.
And Hillary was in violation of the clause whenever a foreign government or person employed by a foreign government gave money to the Clinton Foundation.
Or — to be more serious about this — ANY person in the executive branch who owns stocks in a company, meaning they are part owners of the company and get dividend checks from the company, are in violation if any foreign government does business with any of the companies whose stocks they own. And probably ‘moreso’ if they are holding limited partnerships in their portfolios.
Of course, George Washinton was in violation because he sold crops for export from the farm he never divested when he was President.
I think Lucille should investigate Keith Ellison’s treasonous Muzzie face. Repeatedly.

I understand they have a list of every republican they need to “get rid of” so that some democrat ends up President.
Of course, it doesn’t cross their mind that once they get rid of one, the next one can appoint a new VP.
The left just keeps digging a deeper hole for themselves.
All the Sanders, Warren, Schumer, Pelosi are behind him.
The party is in shambles.
Has he been elevated to chief imam of the un-American islamist party yet?
Once again, declare The Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization and institute an official governmental investigation of Ellison for his direct link to a Muslim terrorist organization. If evidence exists of criminal wrong doing then arrest, prosecute and incarcerate him.
The rats are leaving the ship. He is Rats Captain.
