House votes to kill impeachment effort against Trump
The Hill ^ | July 17, 2019

Posted on 07/17/2019 3:05:35 PM PDT by SMGFan

The House on Wednesday voted 332-95 to kill the first articles of impeachment brought forward under the new Democratic majority, showing off a deep divide among Democrats on whether to go forward with an effort to unseat President Trump.

A majority of Democrats along with the chamber's Republicans voted to table the measure sponsored by Rep. Al Green (D-Texas), while 95 Democrats voted in favor of it.

It's the first time the Democratic House has been confronted with a vote on impeachment, and comes a week before special counsel Robert Mueller is set to testify before two committees on Capitol Hill.

Green, whose previous impeachment votes have accused Trump of inflaming racial tensions, offered the measure immediately after the House on Tuesday voted to condemn Trump over tweets targeting four minority Democratic congresswomen.

Liberals. We had four investigations into Trump which exonerated him. We have an impeachment vote in the House which crashes and burns. Do not these idiots realize that at some point they become morons who evoke nothing but eye rolls from the American public? They keep up this crap, and they will be political laughingstocks for years to come.

“That vote is nothing short of a major humiliation for Green and company, and a big win for Pelosi”

Not so sure, 45% of the commies backed Nutcase Green. It’s a wet dream for a 3rd rate backbencher. A huge percentage left Pelosi’s reservation. Popcorn futures should be spiking.

showing off a deep divide among Democrats on whether to go forward with an effort to unseat President Trump.

Probably the usual shenanigans, with the hard-left base district reps being allowed to vote nay on the tabling motion, so they could go back to their districts and say they tried REALLY HARD to get THAT SUNOB*TCH IMPEACHED. If it were anything more than a show vote, the hammer would have come down from the House whip (to mix metaphors).

This SHOULD eliminate any further talk of impeachment. But... ya never know with these idiots.

I would think it can't...Nadler and Bug Eyes' investigations hinge on finding something to impeach the President for...So while I'm sure they'll never impeach Trump they will want to keep the narrative on the front burner...If only they could get a witness to show up to one of their hearings...

Interesting.

Honestly, if the dems gave this any thought, they would have realized the horrible timing on this with a general election around the corner.

By the time it got through process, it would be even closer to the elections and I suspect that some of the dems have the wherewithal to realize that it would bee political suicide.

Hey, whatever it takes to keep them from doing it.
