IN THE END, the story told by the two articles of impeachment approved on Friday morning by the House Judiciary Committee is short, simple and damning: President Donald Trump abused the power of his office by strong-arming Ukraine, a vulnerable ally, holding up hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid until it agreed to help him influence the 2020 election by digging up dirt on a political rival.
When caught in the act, he rejected the very idea that a president could be required by Congress to explain and justify his actions, showing unprecedented, categorical and indiscriminate defiance in the face of multiple subpoenas. He made it impossible for Congress to carry out fully its constitutionally mandated oversight role, and, in doing so, he violated the separation of powers, a safeguard of the American republic.
To quote from the articles, President Trump, by such conduct, has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to national security and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with self-governance and the rule of law.

The NY Times
I’m for impeach in the fishwrap New York Times...too slick to wipe your butt.
Per the Constitution, isn't the federal government divided into 3 coequal branches THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO MUTUALLY OBSTRUCT EACH OTHER in a 'balance of power' to prevent any branch from becoming powerful enough to impose tyranny on the American people?
Obstructing congress isn't a crime, it is a judicial and presidential DUTY!
As you say. It’s his friggin’ job!
I hope that left wing rag goes up in flames along with their moonbat editorial staff.
This is crazy!

The New York Slimes is for anything that's bad for America, so of course it supports impeachment.
I have used toilet paper that’s worth more than the partisan failing NY Times.
George Soros and his backers (nations hostile to The United States) must be absolutely amazed at how cheap they can buy the whores at the New York Times.
The New York Times Motto,
Well Flop On Our Back For A Quarter!
” ...Ukraine, a vulnerable ally...”
I had to laugh at their assertion impeachment is a check on abuse of power by future Presidents.
They know very well that If this situation was reversed and the facts were exactly the same, they would be calling for impeachment to be defeated:
What motivates them isnt principle but partisan politics. QED.
“obstruction of congress” isn’t a crime, in fact it’s a DUTY of the President of the United States, it’s why the Constitution give the President veto power over Congress ...
Why bother with NY Times articles? we know they’re 100% in for Impeachment.
I love Democrats: theyre 100% predictable.
They’re awful quiet again...Pelosi’s going to find some way SHE comes out of this smelling like a rose...as I’ve said before she’s like a Queen Bee in a Hive of worker bees tending to her every demand...This entire Impeachment and anti-Americanism her party is full off rest entirely on her shoulders.
What a wagon load of male bovine scat.
