Report: Democrats Have the Votes to Impeach President Trump
Breitbart ^ | 16 December 2019 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 12/16/2019 4:32:35 PM PST by Magnatron

House Democrats now have the votes to impeach President Donald J. Trump on Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal reported late Monday.

The Wall Street Journal‘s Siobhan Hughes, Lindsay Wise, and Natalie Andrews wrote Monday evening:

By Monday afternoon, at least 18 from the 31 Democratic-held districts that Mr. Trump won in the 2016 presidential race had announced they would support the abuse-of-power and obstruction of Congress charges, according to a Wall Street Journal survey, with two saying they are opposed.

In other words, given the recent surge over the weekend into early this week of announcements of support for Articles of Impeachment from a number of vulnerable House Democrats who had been holding out until now, the Democrats have crossed the threshold necessary to impeach the president–barring any unforeseen surprises.

Impeach = indict, to wit: crime is alleged and articulated, with reasonable evidence to consider as proof.

Senate holds the actual trial, prosecuting and convicting if proven guilty.

And that’s the catch: democrats assume most voters don’t know what impeachment actually means.

They may have the votes.

Do they have the balls?

Think about the consequences if they do. President Trump will expose them all. And the ComDems will go down in flames.

Democrats support illegal spying on American citizens, and demonstrate hate, contempt and loathing of President Trump, and the American citizens who voted for President Trump. They and their media allies have lied and schemed for years to remove our President from office.
The Adam Schiff and Gerald Nadler committee hearings were without due process for the minority. These two men and their staffs would feel right at home with the Former KGB.
I believe the people who chose to vote for articles of impeachment are just as corrupt as their Democrat leaders and media who mau mau our President.

Donald Trump should wear Impeachment like a badge of honor...sorta like how Francis Marion took Banastre Tarleton’s denigration of him as a “Swamp Fox” as an honor....or the way the Nazis denigrated the Resistance...or how Communists denigrated those who smuggled bibles behind the Iron Curtain.

As I remarked on a thread yesterday my husband and I never had income (profit) like that to report and we owned our own business. I would bet we are not the only ones to have managed on much less!

__________________________

Much, much less, especially since 2008 and the long nightmare of the zer0 administration.

Yet, my District critter has had a long career, lives like a feudal lord and just announced he is voting for impeachment, calling attention to himself as the only representative who voted aye on both Clinton and Trump.

That is his only achievement.

May 2020 see the defeat of Ron Kind.

“Did anyone believe otherwise?”

I did. I still have question whether they’ll all vote as WSJ says they will.

Surely they are terrified by a Senate trial.

And surely they know this is a loss of 30 House seats come November 2020.

They have not voted yet.

Partner, we will support President Trump in draining the Swamp. This stuff that has been happening to President Trump since they hate President Trump.

Also, the National MSM, which has been helping out the DemonRat party by giving them the talking points, does not have that much time to recover from this Garbage that they themselves have generated against President Trump.

We know that the National MSM can not even write news that is worth the paper it is written on.

Democrats have no problem opening Pandora’s Box. We’ll see how well it works out for them.

Now you know why Northam wants to confiscate the guns.

It's a little late for that.

The house votes to impeach, the senate acts as a court and has a trial.

To facilitate post-birth abortions on disarmed dissidents.
