Tlaib to offer impeachment articles against Trump by end of month

[WeekiWater]

The Democratic drumbeat toward impeaching President Trump grew louder Wednesday morning when Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) announced she will soon introduce legislation to oust the president.

Democratic leaders have sought to deter members of the caucus from pressing the impeachment issue, arguing the need for further investigations into Trump's actions in office. They're concerned that without more evidence of presidential wrongdoing — and more public support for impeachment — the issue could backfire on the Democrats at the polls next year.

1. Not what leadership is advocating. She's the Republican's dream.

[WeekiWater]

3. I disagree.

This is how people become more comfortable with it. It's going to happen. I doubt leadership is going to be all that upset with this.

[dem4decades]

7. She's not the one who should be front and center on this.

[WeekiWater]

8. It's important to build support. Pelosi isn't the one who should be doing it, at this point.

Tlaib is the perfect person to do so.

4. They will probably give her star exposure also.

2. If this president gets away with everything he is done; If he has no repercussions like impeachment

or jail time then our country is basically saying that you can be a criminal as president and get away with it.

What a horribly legacy for us.

5. It's too soon. This would be an unforced error.

9. right?

I think it's been time for a while now... there's PLENTY of evidence!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

10. Yes, and for some reason, Nancy hasn't been pushing impeachment... don't get it.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

11. They are too afraid of the optics...

like if they go too fast after taking the House they will look like they are "after" him. Regardless of the fact that he is a threat to us all as long as he is in office...

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

12. We SHOULD be after the Traitor-in-Chief...he's a criminal!! That's why Democrats were elected

to run the House!! Time to act!!


Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[FirstLight]

15. the polls say it is gaining ground... but

I still can't believe there's so many that DON'T support it!


I just hope we get out of this alive... every time I hear the Air Force jets flying over (between sac & fallon) I wonder if the other shoe has dropped and we're toast.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

16. Polls be damned... time to lead and let the truth be the determining factor!!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

13. And Pelosi should sit on it

And not bring it up for a vote until Mueller has finished his investigation and submitted the report.

[WeekiWater]

14. I fully agree with this, unless something else comes up. NT

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

17. I don't trust Mueller to do an adequate job... the House should conduct its own investigation

into collusion and obstruction of justice by the Traitor-in-Chief.

[Revanchist]

18. Then she should be asking for an investigation to gather evidence

You're going to want something official to support and justify articles of impeachment.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

19. Yes, exactly!!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!
