Not because Trump is a Republican. Not because of his conservative policies. Not as a way to nullify the outcome of the 2016 election. But because he engaged in high crimes and misdemeanors of exactly the sort the founders had in mind when they created the impeachment process in the U.S. Constitution.
The details of those crimes have been laid out a thousand times, but here they are again: Congress voted to give $391 million to Ukraine, an ally that was at war, defending itself against Russia. But Trump withheld that money in a clear violation — an illegal violation — of Congress’ express wishes. He did so not because he had foreign policy disagreements with Congress, but because he hoped to extort from Ukraine’s president what he called “a favor” in return for the money — the announcement of an investigation into groundless accusations against former Vice President Joe Biden that he believed could be useful to him in winning reelection.
In other words, he hijacked national security and foreign policy to induce Ukraine to take actions to smear a prospective political opponent. He abused the power of his office to benefit himself personally. Then, as the second article of impeachment makes clear, he sought to stonewall the investigation by refusing to release documents and ordering his subordinates not to testify in the House inquiry.
It may not come as a surprise to many readers that we support the ultimate punishment for this egregious abuse of power.

I took a quick look at the comments section and amazingly enough most of them disagreed with their stupid opinon.
I’ve noticed that elsewhere in the blue swamps lately. For example, an article at the very blue nj.com had comments from New Jersey-ians running about 4-to-1 in favor of Trump’s rally there.
The Bitter Sore Loser Clown Parade continues!
The LA Slimes Rats really can’t understand why they keep getting their @sses kicked. They think they’re so d@mn smart, LMAO!!
1. You are wrong on both points
2. It’s over....grow up
Proof that propaganda works because most democrats believe every word of that. A lie repeated long enough is eventually accepted as truth, especially if the truth is never reported.
Something I learned at a union meeting long long time ago, if it didn't happen on the 5:00 O'Clock news, it didn't happen.
Someone should remind Times that 49 House Democrats, including 4 House managers, voted against aid to Ukraine. I say Impeach them all!
"Los Angeles has the nation’s largest outdoor homeless population, nearly 60,000 addicted and mentally ill people. Medieval diseases are ravaging the sprawling tent cities that have engulfed the city and are spreading into the general population. Cops are coming down with typhoid fever and City Hall workers have contracted typhus. Rats outnumber humans four to one in Los Angeles. The city does not have a rodent abatement program and environmental activists are working to outlaw rodenticides over concerns they could hurt local mountain lions. Doctors say a plague outbreak is inevitable. That’s right, plague, as in the Black Death." (Spectator USA)
Ha Ha Ha Ha LA Times. You know what all your whining will get you? 4 more years of Trump!
Suck it.
1) to keep us up to date on what our political opponents are up to.
2) its nice to see freeper responses.
Their nukes went BACK to Russia...not us
Agree with that part... Four terms as President is all that he should be allowed to serve...
Or they have been turned over to a reprobate mind.
There was no smear. Biden is still running for President and still has access to children. So there was maybe conspiracy, but what happened to Russia and the pee hookers ? We were hoping to find out who the hookers were. Lol.
No Baby, I didn’t stuff my pants with every pair of socks I own. Who would do that? I really am that well endowed. Trust me, Baby. You gotta believe me.
ImVho, the owners/managers/staff/editors of virtually every major US “newspaper” have LOST THEIR MIND, IF they ever had a mind to lose.
(Even THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS, which was once my favorite “daily paper”, is NOW just an obvious “party organ” of the DNC/DNCC.)
LYING LEFTIST LOONS & DIMocRAT PROPAGANDISTS describes them perfectly.

If Trump was engaged in high crimes and misdemeanors, why didn't the House impeach him of those crimes when they sent the articles of impeachment to the Senate for trial?
Because there are no crimes. Just innuendo, speculation, secondhand hearsay and foreign policy disagreements.
This was all a political setup by the democRATS that failed again.
The first 2 sentences are outright lies. Why even bother with the rest of the article.
