House Democrat files article of impeachment against Trump
By Cristina Marcos - 07/12/17 01:53 PM EDT
Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) formally introduced an article of impeachment against President Trump on Wednesday that accuses the president of obstructing justice during the federal investigation of Russias 2016 election interference.
This is the first time a lawmaker has offered an impeachment article against Trump, and comes despite concern among Democrats that taking such aggressive action against the president will create backlash against the party.
A majority vote in a House now controlled by Republicans is required to impeach a president. Republicans have a 24-seat advantage.
Sherman argues that Trumps abrupt firing of James Comey as FBI director in May amounts to obstructing justice and "high crimes and misdemeanors" amid the probes of whether Trump's campaign colluded with the Russian government to swing the election.
He cites Comeys allegations that Trump pressured him to drop the FBIs investigation into ousted former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn, as well as Trumps shifting story on why he fired Comey.

Simple, if Democrats and Republicans ever manage to depose Trump, I will depose a few of them.
despite concern among Democrats that taking such aggressive action against the president will create backlash.
Damn ####ing straight.
Depose...or “dispose of”. Democrats are going to state a war they aren’t going to win.
Not ONE Republican, you, TOO, Trey for SIX YEARS, had the balls to do this against the Fraud, because as a few alleged freepers like to excrete, “It wouldn’t have done any good”.
We would have to shut down the country, the 50 million that voted for him.
Going to the polls to effect change at that point will mean ####.
An impeachment and forced resignation in this case would essentially be a coup
Any Republican-in-name-only who takes this up must be targeted for primary action in 2018.
If the Dems want to really see a million man march on DC, that can be arranged.
Brad Sherman is a pinhead.
How soon before a gaggle of reporters swarm McCain to get his opinion?
Its over!

The stupid is strong with these people!
A baseless charge using OUR money to fund it! Maybe we’re the stupid ones for not ridding ourselves of these idiots!
Scheduled for debate in late January 2025.
Fools rush in !
In spite of poll after poll indicating that voters are fed up with the childish bickering and want the senate and house to put down the pea shooters and paper clip slingshots and get to work!
What is the crime that is being investigated, for which justice could be obstructed?
Yeah I remember those "they'll never remove him in Senate" FReepers.
Cool, let’s file for impeachment before we have proof or evidence! LOL. Who are these people?
