Democrats plan to announce articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump on Tuesday, a senior Democratic aide told NBC News on Monday night.
The Washington Post, citing three officials, reported Monday night that the two articles were expected to allege abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. NBC News hasn't confirmed the report.
“I think todays IG report killed impeachment.”
How so?
Thats all? A nothingburger. Very elastic terms - could mean anything.
Whatever Democrats deem criminal is impeachable.
Lets get it over with.
This from the party that proudly organized "The Resistance" to blunt President Trump's every move.....but I guess Resistance must be ok....
It doesn’t matter if there was a crime. Understand what this is... it’s about the next election. Trump must be impeached and removed OR ELSE his re-election is not valid. It is 2016 all over again. 4 more years of resistance.
Pelosi, Schiff and Nadler are running a taxpayer-funded and desperate 'political' campaign to inflict as much political damage as possible via impeachment hearings and non-stop partisan investigations on our duly elected President.
This Pelosi Congress will be remembered for wholesale 'trashing of the U.S. Constitution' to satisfy the politically-driven irrational hatred of a president who challenges their fantasies that they are intellectually and morally superior to the rest of us.
Must be a mistake. A majority of Freepers insisted this would never happen.
True, and I readily admit to being one of them.
I never for one second believed the Democrats would be stupid enough to actually vote to impeach, given that not a SINGLE Republican will join them in their political suicide pact.
In fact, despite this top Democrat aides comment, I STILL refuse to believe there are enough Democrats moronic enough to pass this blatantly partisan impeachment farce into the eager hands of the Republican Senate.
Not only would impeachment die in the Senate, but it would be a stinging rebuke to the Democrat Party, branding them with the taint of abject partisanship just months away from a national election, and all but assuring President Trumps re-election in 2020.
Moreover, a Senate trial carries with it substantial risk of criminal exposure for many ex-Obama officials and top Democrat legislators, who broke numerous laws conspiring to frame Donald J Trump with weaponized intelligence, fabricated evidence, illegal warrants, subpoenas, leaks and smears, and false testimony.
So, if the Democrats do vote to impeach tomorrow, I will dutifully chow down on my serving of crow - I never thought it would happen.
Impeachment for personal and political gain.
Yes it’s going to influence a bunch more voters to support Trump and walk away from the D Party clown show.
“Democrats plan to announce articles of impeachment” for one reason:
To get the word “impeachment” in the news 24/7.
Sick people run the media at KTLA tv and KNX radio. For two years the word “Mueller” was in the news 24/7. Thankfully, most people tune out the media.
Obstruction of Congress’ attempt to abuse their power
Abuse of Power and Obstruction of Congress?
Sounds like a reelection platform to me!

It deflated the Russia Russia Russia thing. It will look like a continuation of the endless investigations into nothing.
Schiff looks admiringly at Pelosi, hoping to cast her in his next Hollywood film.
Pelosi is worried about her dentures falling out.
Nadler looks like he’s in gastric distress.
Thats 57 pages.
Can you do us a favor and just post the part that details Obstruction of Congress?
They keep “announcing” and the media keeps playing along
Seems like a bare majority for impeachment in the house was a real miss by the framers.
No such thing a “Obstruction of Congress”. That is a completely fraudulent charge with utterly no merit what so ever. This PDF is merely a pathetic attempt to conflate “Obstruction of Justice” into a completely made up new charge of “Obstruction of Congress”.
The Executive is a Co Equal Branch of Govt. Basically the Democrats are trying to manufacture a scheme that Congress has some sort of mythical super authority over our Government.
Based on this ridiculous claim they could impeach Supreme Court Justices any time they over turned a Congressional act. By ruling against the act was “Unconstitutional” the Justices would be guilty of this mythical “Obstruction of Congress”
The document is entitled Obstruction of Congress. You have to read the entire document along with the case studies. There is no short cut.
Maybe try page 16...I think that’s probably what Nadler will be using.
