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.

This will be followed by impeachment."
That’s what I have been saying. For “winning” an election by such a wide margin they sure seem scared of the looser.
I hate and despise all of them..
If only that were true...
They are trying to get him out of power before he comes after them... I’d bet on Pres Trump!
I have no idea. the countries involved with obama and pelosi and hill in rigging the election so Trump would not have another 4 years. They want to go global and aim to take over America.. almost did if hill had won in 2016.
they turn power off and arrest... it will be here in this country also any time.
