A majority of House Democrats are now on record publicly supporting an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, according to a CNN count -- a sign of momentum for pro-impeachment lawmakers that is likely to ramp up pressure on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democratic leaders.
The current number of impeachment backers may not necessarily, or immediately, change the calculation for House Democratic leadership on how to proceed as Democrats continue their investigations into the President and his administration. But it nevertheless shows that support among Democrats on Capitol Hill for an inquiry is continuing to grow.
Rep. Salud Carbajal of California became the 118th Democrat to publicly support the start of an impeachment inquiry in a statement on Friday, at least the 23rd lawmaker to do so since special counsel Robert Mueller testified on Capitol Hill last week.

That’s because they watched the Democrat debates and realized they are in deep doo-doo. 8>)

Have at it, since you don’t have anything else to offer your side. Crash and burn, and rot from within.

They will impeach Trump. It’s just a matter of time in order for them to get their story together.

They need more than a majority of Democrats. They need pretty much all of them.

Please do it leftist morons. Please?
To: Innovative
Do it - the Democrats are orchestrating a coup and proving that they are nothing more than power hungry fascists.
The Democrat party must be dissolved.
It is a treasonous cancer on the Republic.

These guys are facing re-election in 2020, and some of them are in red areas. It would be suicide to vote for impeachment.

They know they won’t beat Trump in 2020. So this will be their Hail Mary play.

Impeachment on what? No RAT has stated what the high crime is.
My advice to the RATs: Bring it on.

I agree. Actually they are stiffing their constituents by not pursuing it. They need to pursue it, if only to fulfill their promises.

I have no idea what crime they think Trump has committed and should be impeached for.

I actually SAW this in CNN...had a hard time not laughing.
I was helping our neighbors hang their new TV on a wall.
After it was all hooked up we decided to turn it on to make sure everything was connected correctly...CNN was what came on...
