Democratic efforts to impeach President Trump for a second time are well underway, with a senior Democratic lawmaker telling Bloomberg that a House vote on articles of impeachment could come as soon as Tuesday, which would then be held for several months before they send them to the Senate in order to avoid triggering an immediate trial.
According to House Majority Whip James Clyburn, Democrats are “working hard” on an article of impeachment which demonstrates that Trump is “unqualified to be president.”
“I think that will come probably Tuesday and maybe Wednesday,” Clyburn told “Fox News Sunday.”
Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi gave Trump an ultimatum last week; resign immediately, or face impeachment 2.0 for encouraging supporters to march on Capitol Hill last Wednesday – when a mostly peaceful protest against the counting of Electoral College votes turned into what the left is calling an ‘insurrection’ after law enforcement oddly opened the doors to the building, allowing protesters to ‘storm’ the Capitol.

According to Bloomberg, Pelosi is moving cautiously despite internal pressure from her caucus to punish Trump – while President-elect Joe Biden has made clear that he isn’t interested in a Trump impeachment sideshow while his administration is trying to focus on their agenda. Pelosi has told lawmakers to be “prepared to return to Washington” this week for a potential impeachment vote or some other type of formal response to Trump’s alleged role in encouraging the breach on Capitol hill that left five people dead (despite the fact that he told supporters to peacefully assemble and to peacefully leave following the incident).
According to Clyburn, however, any successful impeachment in the House

They really don’t want Trump being sworn in on the 20th ,LOL
I think the piling on is going to backfire, not sure how just yet, but it will.
How? Isn’t congress on recess?
You don’t waste time on this if you aren’t scared of him and I don’t mean phony riots.
Why not, the Communists have a permanent solution to the will of the voters. The mood of the electorate holds no sway over the Maoist Oligarchs now that the Republic is dead.
The Republicans shouldn’t wear masks and start coughing during the vote
The Seanate is.
I can almost smell their desperation from here.
Pelosi has to be one of the top 5 most evil politicians America has ever had. So corrupt and so butt ugly inside and out.
Who cares that they cannot legally impeach him. This Congress is an administrative only entity. It applies to the next presidency.
I don’t get it. Trump is such a threat, yet they plan to wait months before even going to the senate for the trial?
Who cares it means less than nothing
Even North Korea says it will help Biden bring the US to it’s knees
What kind of retards are these RATS? Donald Trump will be a private citizen after noon on January 20, 2021. All of that would be null and void.
I always thought Clinton could suck up all the air in a room. Trump doesn’t even need to be close by and he has it down pat.
Do they sound like people who were just victorious in an election ?
Dream on Clyburn.
They desire to permanently injure Trump.
If only there were some way that we, the people, could legally punish the people trying to do this..
THEY CANT DO ANYTHING
