In Extraordinary Step, Pelosi Announces Democrats Will Open Formal Impeachment Inquiry


https://time.com/5685104/pelosi-impeachment-inquiry-trump-ukraine/

Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Tuesday that House Democrats would launch an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, an extraordinary step that came in the wake of a whistleblower complaint that Trump sought to pressure Ukraine to investigate a political rival for personal gain.

“The President must be held accountable,” Pelosi said in a televised statement outside her office on Capitol Hill, against a pointed backdrop of six American flags. “No one is above the law.”

After months of wavering, House Democrats have inched closer and closer in recent days to beginning a full-fledged impeachment process. On Tuesday the floodgates finally opened. A rapidly growing number of lawmakers who previously had reservations about impeachment came forward in support of launching proceedings.

  1. Go for it. Impeach the President. Future generations will laugh at the escapades of today's Democrats. Flimsy excuse of a phone call driving them to declare it's high crimes and misdemeanors.

    It was the Ukrainian President who brought up the issue under review, not the President of the U.S.A.. Hardly the premeditated plan to strong arm the Ukrainians that the Democrats make it out to be.

  3. I included a link to the transcript. It's not that long. Anyone is entitled to read it as they choose. The House Democrats can run with it and impeach. Who cares?

    I'm not arguing anyone has to read it like I do. I am arguing that many reasonable voters will fail to find it rises to high crimes and misdeamors. And the same with historians.

    Notice that this now politicized blog has little on the subject of the Democratic run-up to the primaries. The whole so-called mainstream news cycle is 24/7 TrumpTrumpTrump. That is the same mistake the media made in the last election run-up. They super-promoted Donald Trump.

    Only now Donald Trump is President and the economy is good. It's hard to believe the political opposition to Donald Trump is making the exact same mistake they made before that ended in devastating catastrophe for themselves and their allies in the media, academia, entertainment industry, etc. It's the same feeling of, "We can't lose!"
