Democratic Rep. Al Green says he will force House impeachment vote

House lawmakers will take their first vote on whether to impeach President Trump this week if a Texas Democrat follows through on plans he announced to colleagues Tuesday.

Rep. Al Green (D-Tex.) said in a memo to fellow lawmakers that he planned to bring articles of impeachment to the House floor Wednesday as a “privileged resolution,” one that would be entitled to a vote within two days under House rules.

Green has discussed impeaching Trump since the spring and previously filed impeachment articles in October, nearly forcing a vote at that time before House Democratic leaders persuaded him to temporarily abandon the effort. Now Green says the time has come for his colleagues to weigh in.

OK, let's have it on record who votes for impeachment.

With the R majority, there is no way this can succeed, but we'll know who are the far left prize idiots.

Trump should make it known that he will resign immediately should such a vote occur. No way that the Dims want to have President Pence. Call their bluff.

Al Green and Sexual Harassment:

Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) issued an unprompted joint statement with a female former staffer who years ago made and later dropped allegations of sexual assault, with the two on Monday calling the matter “absolutely resolved.”

Green and Lucinda Daniels said that due to the current political “climate” they wished to “jointly quiet any curious minds about our former and present relationship with one another.”

“This matter has been resolved without payment of any money or transfer of any consideration of any kind by either of us to the other,” Green and Daniels said Monday. “As friends, we have both agreed that we see no need to make further statements regarding this absolutely resolved matters.”

Green and Daniels added that they both “regret our former claims” and have “maintained a respectful relationship.”

In the initial incident, Daniels had said the congressman assaulted her in 2007. Green in 2008 filed a lawsuit against Daniels in which he asked a federal judge to find he had never discriminated against her in the workplace, then withdrew it after Daniels signed a statement dropping her own allegations.

No, that’s black congressman Hank Johnson. But he and Green are “brothers,” and both are stupid racists.

He said mean things about Hillary Rotten Clinton.
