House Democrats draft article of impeachment charging Trump with 'incitement of insurrection': Fast Track introduction as early as Monday and a full House vote as early as middle of next week

House Democrats on Friday discussed moving forward with efforts to impeach President Donald Trump a second time, circulating the draft of a single article citing "incitement of insurrection" that they could introduce as early as Monday and hold a full House vote on as early as the middle of next week.

The article charges Trump with "willfully inciting violence against the government of the United States" with his comments at the rally outside the White House that it says "encouraged—and foreseeably resulted in—imminent lawless action at the Capitol."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi held a lengthy conference call with her caucus Friday on how to proceed with just 12 days to go before Trump will leave office.

"The president chose to be an insurrectionist," Pelosi told members at the start, according to a source on the call.

Earlier, she sent a letter saying Democrats should pursue impeachment unless Trump resigned "immediately."

“The Cloud”

One of the cleaverest principles big tech ever came up with

“where is it” “Oh, it’s in the cloud”

Ordinary people don’t even know what it is/means

Just another thing for them to charge you for.

Nope, that’s part of the trial function of the impeachment process.

I wrote, "If he's a private citizen, what authority have they? Isn't that a bill of attainder?"

How can it be part of the trial function of the impeachment when there can't be an impeachment of a private citizen?

Constitution was drawn up during the Age of Reason, so maybe my reasoning is obsolete :)

Because the House plans to pass articles of impeachment prior to him becoming a private citizen. Schumer will go forward with the trial to get to the disqualification penalty. That penalty only requires a majority vote, not 2/3 as is the case for removal. Guess who has the majority after Jan 20?

What I've been saying on this thread, what my comments here are predicated upon, is that Trump could resign BEFORE impeachment, in order to preclude it.

This doesn’t make sense. How can Congress do this to deny any private citizen the right to run for office?

One can only impose a penalty on a conviction, not just an indictment (impeachment). So Trump has to be convicted (2/3 votes) by the Senate in order for the senate to add the additional penalty of ineligibility to run for office again. Democrats are no where near the 67 votes for a conviction.

We have had Dem insurrection since the presidents inauguration in 2016.

Indeed the Dems are the unsurrectionists.

Look at what Donald Trump accomplished in spite of them/

Now ALL of America knows the way American can prosper and that the Dems want to impoveriush and destroy America. Even Dems themselves know all this and 30% of them supported Trump.

Thats why Pelpsi and Schumer hate the progressive movement. We beat them and showed America being great again.

And that means the Dems are on short string. They stole the election, everybodyknows that.

And how long wil America put up with their despicable foolishness?

Not long.

Two years at the most and Republicans will control all but a few State Legislatures, election laws will change, and we will jack these traitors so far into the garbage can , they will be only a memory of a nightmare.

Either that or the Dems will face a very real Insurrection of patriots. On;y this time it will be armed.

incitement of insurrection?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Excitement of miserection more like.

Buahahahahahahahaha!

No facts support their view.

Its all Darth Pelosi’s deep fear pf the Populist Movement.

Darth Pelosi has felt the force and is freaking out. She is like the Queen of Hearts in Alice in WOnderland.

America has a full view of Chuck the Suck Schumer taking America down as many rabbit holes as he can simultaneously.

Joe Biden dresses up like the Mad Hatter and can’t remember numbers or read his pocket watch properly, shuffling like a geriatric homonym in a satire of history.Joe Biden actually has a Mad Hatter grin he flashes at the cameras.

Meanwhile news in Europe shows that Dominion Agents are being prosecuted in Italy for manipulating US election data , and that news is completely suppressed in America.

Buahahahahahahahahaha!

To tell the honest truth no one gives a sweet F**k about the Dems. The stock market is booming, huge “stimulus” will issue, and meanwhile the Progressive Movement under the leadership of President Trump is getting even stronger.

AND WATCH THEM FREAK OUT. A LEFTIST CRIMINAL SYNDICATE CONTROLLING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT?

Yawn.

The Dems are actually proving that What the Populist Movement has said about them is TRUE.

And now Biden and his running dog idiots reap the whirlwind.And if they resort to violent fascism then they will discover why America has a 2nd amendment.

nd Biden will not win last November. At this point I would not trust my own grandmother, not to impeach Trump. :(>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

There is no factual evidence upon which to impeach President Trump.His speech transcript shows this.

Whats going on here is simple:

1) Darth Pelosi felt the force on Jan. 6th and is freaking out.

2) Prosecutors in Italy have discovered two Dominion Agents who manipulated US election data for the Biden campaign. One has confessed and a second is chraged with criminal offences. Its all over the news in Europe, but this impeachment crap is meant to provide cover for Biden until after his "indogurination." Biden will have nothing but a Bizarro Presidency.

Or if the Italian truth comes out the inauguration may be delayed and Donald Trump resur-erected?Thats what all this impeachment Dem wet dream is about. The Dems are scared to death they are about to be widely discovered in their criminal enterprise. There is a lot of new opera singing in Italy.

Agree. And this impeach Trump is to further incite us and an attempted trap. We should not fall for any of their traps ever again. We must be ahead of them and outwit them. My husband and I looked very closely at the video of the shooter and then found a few side profiles of Schummer. It really looks like it could be Schummer. The similarities are compelling. Add the suit, the cufflinks and gold watch into the mix. Stunning.

Trump should spend all Sunday ‘til the wee hours unilaterally declassifying all the dirt in the warehouse on these clowns.

If they do this there will be a heck of a lot more people coming to the Capitol and then we’ll see.

This is the frenzy of action Congress should have directed against the rigged elections.
