Article(s) of Impeachment ?

The debate within the Committees is about how many articles of impeachment should be charged to Donald Trump?

Almost everyone agrees that it should be simple enough for every American to understand.

In my opinion, the charges within the Mueller Report should be incorporated within the charges of the Ukraine investigation. For example, if there is one or two obstruction charges from the Ukraine investigation, then they could add 5 obstruction charges from the Mueller report. (They have already been taken under oath)

The same for abuse of power. Incorporate the Mueller report into the Ukraine investigation.

I read that they will not be totally separate and the other crimes are NOT going to disappear like the GOP would like.

Don’t think Ukraine was bad you might think asking someone to break the law is. If the Dems knew he removed a President Obama regulation to stop coal mines from dumping sludge with cancer causing materials in our water - add that. An unjustifiable negligent disregard for the American people.

I would focus on the 3 strongest examples of Trump obstruction cited in the Mueller Report ……. Those offenses would be incorporated in Article 2 ……..Article 1 should be an Abuse of Power article focusing entirely on Ukraine ……...Article 3 should involve a charge of Contempt of Congress ………...These articles should be exhibited to the full House by the Judiciary Committee ………….. Force the GOP Senators to endorse a criminal President ……..
