Democratic leaders arent calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.
But theyre getting closer.
To one Democratic congressman, the presidents decision to fire FBI Director James Comey reminded him of the doomsday clock, a symbol that warns about the likelihood of nuclear war.
We should maybe have an impeachment clock, Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis., said on Wednesday. And if we did, I think yesterday moved us about an hour closer to having that need.
Pocan said he had thought Democrats in the House of Representatives needed to use the threat of impeachment as a tool to make the administration follow the law.
I would argue this has got to still be on the table as an option, especially if, indeed, there was obstruction of justice by the firing of the FBI director, said Pocan, first vice chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

His colleague, Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., said Democrats would call for impeachment when there is no longer any other recourse.

This guy has no reasonable concept of time. However, if he’s full of sh*t and he knows it then he’s just another assh*le troublemaker.
Oh yes, please do, it worked so well for republicans. What’s the crime? Firing an incompetent employee?
I’m surprised Democrats haven’t joined the Flat Earth Society yet. I could care less what a Democrat thinks... “Democrat thinks” is an oxymoron.
The media is weaponized against Trump.
“Democrat thinks” is an oxymoron...LOL!!!!!! How TRUE!!!
we should be glad the left wastes so so much time on Russia and impeachment talk.
Otherwise they might actually pose a threat :P
lol
yo libs... just a hint... it’s about as easy to remove a president from office as it is to pass a constitutional amendment.
If every one of you supporting impeachment can't prove it..you apologize publicly....and...you resign. Senators and Representatives.

The administration isn’t following the law ?
Wow...that’s huge news.../ S
Trump!
Covering up a scandal that doesn’t exist. Brilliant!
These "Obstructocrats" need serious mental health assistance...or maybe a short vacation in Gitmo.
I think we’re going to have to have an uncivil war clock the way these guys keep agitating.
I thought Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass were supposed to be satire.

Impeachment will come, but it will not be in the form that President Trump’s enemies expect. Cries for impeachment are cover for systemic immorality. They know it and they are afraid. Fear in the Democrat party is palpable.
They’ll be more effective scaring RINOs with astroturf campaigns; they are trying to imitate the tea party but without the grass roots.
A president dismissing an FBI Director????? Is that even legal? [/s]
Maybe Jeff Sessions should investigate — or, if Jeff is too busy, maybe William S. Sessions could investigate the legality of a president dismissing the head of the FBI.
Still waiting to hear what high crime or misdemeanor Trump may have committed, waiting, waiting.
Never knew these ‘folks’ were intelligent enough to tell the time. Why would they ever need a clock?
When this fake news Russian investigation is laid to rest, I want Hillary Clinton to pay back the government the millions of dollars wasted on this BS. Then I want her prosecuted.
If odumbo made it through for 8 years without being impeached, ANYONE ever being elected POTUS should have no fear,
