For those of you pining for the sturm und drang of Donald Trump’s first term, I’m the bearer of good news: The first attempt to impeach the newly minted president is already underway.
Sure, as political pseudoevents go, it’s about as anticlimactic, low profile, and ill-conceived as a Limp Bizkit reunion album. But #TheResistance 2.0 has to begin somewhere, and it’s apparently beginning with leftist interest group Free Speech For People.
The group — whose website looks like it dates from the era where Daily Kos’ site interface looked positively cutting edge — bills itself as a “non-partisan campaign, but is focused on a bevy of leftist issues, including stopping “voter suppression” (read: preventing anti-voter fraud initiatives), eliminating dark money in politics (unless it comes from George Soros, one assumes), and tackling “corporate abuse of power.”
It’s perhaps best known for its opposition to the 2010 Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which ruled independent campaign expenditures counted as free speech. (Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal, was also the founder of Citizens United, the plaintiff in that case.)
But now, the group has a more important mission. Free Speech For People — which apparently knows about as much about what “high crimes and misdemeanors” are as it does about using definite articles to make their organization’s name sound less awkward — began a campaign to impeach Trump on the day he was inaugurated.
The group’s petition is “calling on the U.S. Congress to initiate an immediate impeachment investigation into Donald Trump’s violations of the Emoluments Clauses and into his unlawful, corrupt campaign practices.”
“Trump’s return to the White House poses an unprecedented threat to our democracy,” says John Bonifaz, organization president.

Bonifaz has also litigated international human rights and environmental law cases, and, with his father Cristobal Bonifaz, has litigated against Chevron Corporation regarding pollution in the Lago Agrio oil field in the Ecuadorian Amazon. (Cristobal Bonifaz is a native of Ecuador.)
Bonifaz’s great-grandfather was Neptalí Bonifaz, who was elected president of Ecuador in 1931, but was disqualified for the presidency by the National Congress.[15][16]
John Bonifaz - wetback anchor-baby trouble maker.

I’m just amused that he’s been in office — what, six days? — and they are already talking impeachment.
"...an unprecedented threat to our democracy fascist, autocratic, leftest Utopian Dreams already known to Yugely fail."
Fixed it for you, dude.
Control of the House matters. Even if its slim. If somehow (doubtful) the Pubs could stick together as a team impeachment of Trump could be avoided for at least 2 years. Given the number of RINOs - all bets are off.
I encourage them to go for it.
Every time they go after him, he rises 5 points in the polls.
Little children, then.
OK...I suppose there are some that go both ways.
Sheesh, not again!
Again.
But harder, this time.
So if formal hearings do take place DJT would be wise to send one lawyer to defend him and do the same if the case ever gets to the Senate.
Meanwhile,DJT will be deporting wetbacks and doing other vital stuff knowing that he's safe in office.
“…his unlawful, corrupt campaign practices.”
Do they mean - getting SHOT by Democrat-hired/trained hitmen?
This kind of crap is exactly why the democrats are losing. Relying on impeachment, election fraud, lawfare, personal attacks, censorship, and assassinations has shown them incredible losses.
The good part is that they haven’t figured it out or learned a damn thing.

It's like that.
They've already had two impeachments (zero convictions), one fraudulent felony conviction, one FBI raid of his primary residence, and THEY SHOT HIM THROUGH THE EAR, and he hasn't skipped a beat.
Yet they're delusional enough to believe that one more (convictionless) impeachment will stop him.
Good luck with your impeachments. Hope it goes really well.
I’m just gonna save my energy for when Sotomayor’s seat is vacated.
Those far-left and Nazi bass turds are beggin’ for a civil war.
“Relying on impeachment, election fraud, lawfare ...”
I think it’s all they got.
