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.

That mistake reveals that each of the Democrat politicians are in it for themselves more than anything else. Take advantage of it. Think at length, and come up with some ideas. Then make long term plans (the only way to win in politics anywhere).

Better get ready as I have a feeling that this is just the beginning with four more years to come.

> Must do it before he pardons himself and family.

So what about the show trial conviction for tax fraud in NY state ?

You can't pardon State crimes, and all of his family works for a Trump corp.

Anyone care to take a swing at over/under on R’s willingness to convict in the Senate? (As we all know, it takes 2/3rds to convict, so that’s 67 total).

Normally, I’d say absolutely zero chance.

But we live in some very whacked out times that started a few days ago, so all bets are off IMHO.

I think the open election theft will also be beneficial in the long run.

Hearings? What makes you thing there will be hearings?

There will be no hearings when you are tried by
a Tribunal and sentenced to ten years for insurrection.

If the 10 house RATS who won in heavy Trump districts vote for this, they are all walking dead men in 2022.

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.

If their takeaway from Wednesday is that what they need to do after Wednesday is to remove Trump and then prosecute him then they probably are ready to begin political purges of people like us. Because the can't possibly be dumb enough to think that will defuse the volatile situation right now.

Nothing. Because of the Repblican surrender-monkeys. We have to become ungovernable. We have to destroy what is left of the GOP and build a new party.

Much like the call to the Ukrainian president. They said from day one that they were going to impeach him and just needed a made up excuse. Nadler has already said that they will pretty much dispense with actually impeachment hearings and go right a House floor vote.
