Rep. Brad Sherman (D., Calif.) announced on Wednesday that he introduced an article of impeachment against President Donald Trump.
Sherman was joined by Rep. Al Green (D., Texas) as a co-sponsor on the measure. They have both publicly called for Trump's impeachment in the past, as has Rep. Maxine Waters (D., Calif.). House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) has cautioned against impeachment talk, despite her own criticism of Trump.

Sherman's argument of impeachment is focused on claiming Trump has committed obstruction of justice regarding the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
"I am pleased that Congressman Al Green has joined me in filing Articles of Impeachment against Donald J. Trump," Sherman said in a statement. "We now begin the effort to force the House Judiciary Committee to hold hearings on Obstruction of Justice and Russian interference in our election."
"As the investigations move forward, additional evidence supporting additional Articles of Impeachment may emerge," Sherman's statement said. "However, as to Obstruction of Justice, as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 1512 (b)(3), the evidence we have is sufficient to move forward now. And the national interest requires that we do so."
He added:
Introducing Articles of Impeachment will have two possible outcomes. First, 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. Perhaps uncontrollable impulses will be controlled. And perhaps the danger our nation faces will be ameliorated.
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.

All voided by one simple statement: there is no investigation.
Rep Sherman’s name is moved up the Death List to number four
Brad Sherman is not the Sherman we need at the moment. Unfortunately, that Sherman died about 140 years ago.
Also, absolutely no evidence to support their claims. Unless you cite “unnamed sources” who get cited by Fake News outlets.
meh
Dennis Kusinich used to introduce impeachment bills all the time

If we had a real Speaker, Sherman would fear the reprisals for his bad act. Alas...
“Sherman’s legislation is H. Res. 438.”
No.
The correct term is “Perfidious Democrat Revolutionary Attempt to Undermine the Presidency of Mr. Trump”...
...or, the Democrat, psychotic, adolescent scu&bag’s attempt at impeachment without evidence.

Moron.
He would have to be convicted in regular court of a particular obstruction before you could impeach.
Sadly, you are never going to have enough votes to carry this to the floor.
Will never see the light of day.
Shouldn’t members of congress be required to have at least a 75 IQ score?
I mean first Maxine Waters and now this Sherman tard.
I guess it’s a California thing.

Ludicrous unless the GOPe decide to replace Trump.
SOP for the Democrats/Left: Symbolism over substance. ... Next!

“He would have to be convicted in regular court of a particular obstruction before you could impeach.”
Actually, Congress can pretty much impeach for anything they want.
It’s just a vote.
Not going to happen and this is all lunacy, I’m just pointing out that Congress can impeach at will.
