WASHINGTON (AP) — Utah Democrat Ben McAdams stepped into a small town city council chamber just outside Salt Lake City and took a deep breath.

“I will vote yes,” McAdams told reporters.

With a tight smile, the congressman made clear, in the heart of ruby-red Utah, that he will vote to impeach President Donald Trump.

The scene played out across the nation’s polarized landscape Monday as about a dozen of the 31 most vulnerable House Democrats climbed off the fence and into the ranks of lawmakers who will vote for formal abuse and obstruction charges against Trump this week.

Little blurb at the bottom;)

This story corrects that about a dozen vulnerable House Democrats will vote for impeachment charges. An earlier version incorrectly reported that 31 of them would do so.

Can’t wait to go back and look up all those who swore up and down that the DEMs would *never* impeach Trump. I’m sure the response will be it’s a mistake by the DEMs or that Trump won’t be convicted in the Senate. Whatever.

Most, if not all of those vulnerable democrats, knew that they were going to lose their seats, so, to them, it was a ‘nothing to lose’ proposition.

BTW, there is no such thing as a centrist or moderate democrat. The democrat party is not moderate in any way, and anybody that runs as a democrats can NEVER be considered a moderate or centrist. Those so-called moderate democrats are proving to be as radical as Schiff and Nadler and Pelosi and Al Green and the squad of four.

Anybody who still supports the Democrats has a criminal heart.

These Democrat politicians know that the Democrat leaders have committed crimes.

They know this isn’t about politics.

This impeachment nonsense is all just a stall and smokescreen operation by the Democrats to try and protect the Democrat leaders.

And that says it all about Democrat politicians.

They don’t really care about America or Americans.

We are breathlessly awaiting your full accounting.

If they vote no on impeachment they will lose their primaries. If they vote yes on impeachment they will lose their general elections. Sucks to be them.

My preference is that they all vote yes, so we have a better chance of retaking control of the House.

Losing their phony baloney jobs is no threat to them. Any of them that gets voted out has probably been assured of a lifetime job with Soros’ organizations along with a lifetime pension from us taxpayers. Crooks and knaves, every one of them.

This is good to know. I had understood it was one term. Happy to be wrong this time. Thanks!

Hunter Biden move over. Now Nancy Pelosi’s son may be looking to take center stage with the Ukraine controversy. Paul Pelosi, Jr. spent time in Ukraine in 2017. “BOOM: Nancy Pelosi’s son Paul Pelosi Jr. (who went to Ukraine in 2017) was a board member of Viscoil and executive at its related company NRGLab, which DID ENERGY Business in UKRAINE! And Nancy Pelosi appeared in a promotional video for the company!”

Federalist—According to Burisma’s website, Joseph Cofer Black (Romney adviser) was appointed in February of 2017 and continues to serve on its board. The timelines would indicate that Black and Biden worked together at Burisma, and indeed, web archives from late 2017 show Black and Biden listed simultaneously on the board.

KYIV. Oct 9 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden received $900,000 for lobbying activities from Burisma Group, Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada member Andriy Derkach said citing investigation materials. Derkach publicized documents which, as he said, “describe the mechanism of getting money by Biden Sr.” at a press conference at Interfax-Ukraine’s press center in Kyiv on Wednesday. “This was the transfer of Burisma Group’s funds for lobbying activities, as investigators believe, personally to Joe Biden through a lobbying company. Funds in the amount of $900,000 were transferred to the U.S.-based company Rosemont Seneca Partners, which according to open sources, in particular, the New York Times, is affiliated with Biden. The payment reference was payment for consultative services,” Derkach said. This stuff goes back to 2008;
