House Democrats to introduce articles of impeachment against Donald Trump on day one

  Well that did not take long. According to this story House Democrats are planning on introducing articles of impeachment against Donald Trump on their first day in control. Here is more:

Rep. Brad Sherman, a California Democrat, plans to re-introduce articles of impeachment against Trump on the first day of the new Congress, he said Thursday. Sherman was one of three Democrats who introduced resolutions to impeach Trump in 2017, along with Reps. Al Green of Texas and Steve Cohen of Tennessee, part of an effort from a small wing of House Democrats seeking to remove the President from office.

  For her part the new Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, did not rule out the possibility of impeaching the President however she did say it was too early at this point in time and that the House should wait until the Mueller report came out before proceeding.

“We have to wait and see what happens with the Mueller report. We shouldn’t be impeaching for a political reason, and we shouldn’t avoid impeachment for a political reason. So we’ll just have to see how it comes,” she said.

  I take that as an admission that they have to wait for something they do not have at this point and that is an impeachable offense. To introduce articles of impeachment now is nothing but playing politics but I think it is safe to say she is banking on, and hoping for, something, anything, to turn up in the Mueller report so they can move forward on impeachment.

  If these articles of impeachment are introduced today and Nancy Pelosi refuses to move on them it will be interesting to see how the Democratic base will react, we have seen they are not very mature and not very patient so it could get very interesting, very quickly.
