House Democrats to Introduce Articles of Impeachment Against Trump
Wall Street Journal ^ | 1/08/2021 | WSJ

Posted on 01/08/2021 2:26:51 PM PST by bob_esb

More than 150 House Democrats, well over half of the caucus, have signed on to articles of impeachment written by Reps. David Cicilline of Rhode Island, Ted Lieu of California and Jamie Raskin of Maryland that focus on the breach of the Capitol complex and accuse the president of inciting an insurrection.

“This conduct is so grave and this president presents such a clear and present danger to our democracy, I don’t think you can simply say let’s just wait it out” until the president leaves office, said Mr. Cicilline in an interview. President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration is Jan. 20.

Must do it before he pardons himself and family. Then they go after him like a wolfpack.

They want to head off any possibility of Trump running again in 4 years. They also want to humiliate him. They will probably get most of the GOP to go along with it.

Yeah. It was fine when their agents in BLM and Antifa were attacking random people and businesses. But when the chickens come home to roost the cowards all ran like hell. Rats created this, not Trump.

Overplaying their hand. They can’t help themselves, and in the long run it benefits us.

We could take advantage of public affairs mistakes made by the Democrats, if we only tried to be smart and logical enough to do it.

President Donald Trump will forever have the distinction of the Last Legitimate President of the United States. We were honored to have him expose it all as the fraud that it is.

Need the t-shirts, hats, banners, mugs, prints of the oil painting with him shaking hands with General Washington, etc.

This plan by the Democrats to impeach Trump a second time may have been in the works ever since it became clear he was not conceding. With the Capitol “riot”, they found the perfect excuse to go public with the plan.

Isn’t it logistically impossible to go through all the steps of the impeachment process, AND conduct hearings, AND have the Senate do its thing after that, in less than 12 days?

"Overplaying their hand. They can’t help themselves, and in the long run it benefits us."

They are coming off as totally nuts. You have to admire how quickly they can move. The designated loser Republicans never get anything done because they are paid to lose.

He was impeached, but not removed. That isn’t good enough
for them. He must be smeared for all time.

Democrats don’t get over it, they get even, I believe
Valery Jarrett said something like that

Let’s see. They just committed a massive crime by stealing the election using government assets, installing a totally illegitimate “President”.

So now they’re upset that other people are upset with them and have decided that they will brook no criticism for their crimes, so they want to impeach (yet again) to cover up their own crimes.

The communists are anxious to go full Totalitarian. Full prosecution and jail of political opponents. End all speech the communists disagree will. Crackdowns of all kinds are on the way, especially coming to regular people like us, cause they believe we can’t / won’t fight back and will just have to submit. For those that are still around this summer, would not be surprised if the communists hold camp days for us.
