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."

That will not stop Impeachment, they can continue whether he is in office or not and they will.

Trump's political support has pretty much evaporated

The base is still mostly with him.

I smell a boatload of fear in the Democrats. Something is scaring the beJesus out of them.

Maybe Trump has an Ace up his sleeve that they are terrified he will release. Something so dark and wicked in its form and secrets, that they are falling to pieces over trying EVERYTHING to stop Trump from releasing a ‘Pandora’s box’ that will melt them all.

I hope he does and it will be glorious!

Rumor on twitter is they have the votes to remove in the Senate. Republican leadership wants Trump to resign because it would *split* the party.

A good 85% of the party would be gone. Can a party still be national with only the elite and elected members?

Dark times ahead unless a miracle happens.

They are really not thinking this through, as usual.

The Insane Leftists are out of control and playing with fire.

They have created a powder keg

Political Assassinations could begin to occur in order to cull the DC herd if this goes through and they wont stop here.

Next on the agenda will be gun confiscation, it IS COMING .

the leftists have a long history of the mass killing of opposition and this demonstrates they will stop at nothing. Someone might snap and feel the need to kill or be killed before its too late. That could include all globalists like Pence as well as Pelosi and Schumer.

they really should lighten up before the powder keg blows and it won't be a phony FBI/ANTIFA "false flag" "reichstag Fire" like it was in DC on the 6th, it could get real

Meanwhile, has Harris given up her Senate seat yet?

To my knowledge the answer to your question is NO!

Whats to stop Trump from resigning just before the vote and avoiding an impeachment?

You do not have to be currently in office to be impeached.

Impeachment (originally) was a tool of Parliament to PREVENT the King from naming a minister that Parliament did not want.

That conviction can be followed by a ban of holding office IN THE FUTURE indicates that anyine could be impeached, tried, and convicted for treason, bribery, or any other "high crime and misdemeanor".

Why would he even want to hold office again. It would be another four years of hell for him and his family. He should go out scorched earth. Release everything, leave a gone fishing note with a big FU, use his remaining “sick days” and disappear.
