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.”

That article is already dead in the water, given SCOTUS agreed to hear Trump Admin appeals - shows waiting for a court order to comply with a Congressional subpeona is legal and legitimate - and they tried to impeach Andrew Johnson for abuse of power and that failed - this is just a political sh**show that they know will fail, and they believe they can campaign against Trump and Senate Republicans over that failure - and they are wrong - again
The deep state media.
All are lead from a single deep state war room where the narrative is set and the orders given in all manner of broadcast and print.
Crowd Strike.
The real threat to the DNC and The Failing New York Times.
New York Times supported the Nazis and is Anti-Semetic.
I really don’t care what they preach to their racist readers.
All who vote for any DemoRat is a Total FOOL.....open you eyes America.
The Nazi Times... truly
I have see some lefties so excited that they NYT, WaPo, etc. all support impeachment. They supported it the day he won in 2016.
It also goes perfectly with the sheep mentality of libs, I hate Trump and the NYT supports my feelings, that make me smart and intelligent.
