Congressman Sherman Circulates Proposed Article of Impeachment: Obstruction of Justice


Jun 12, 2017
Press Release

Washington, D.C. – Today Congressman Brad Sherman, a twenty-year veteran of the House, circulated an Article of Impeachment to all Members of the House, Democrat and Republican, seeking their input and support.

Sherman said, “as set forth in my letter to my colleagues: As the investigations move forward, additional evidence supporting additional Articles of Impeachment may emerge. However, as to Obstruction of Justice and 18 U.S.C. § 1512 (b)(3), the evidence we have is sufficient to move forward now. And the national interest requires that we do so.”

Sherman continued, “I act not for partisan advantage. Having served with Mike Pence in the House for twelve years, I disagree with him on most issues of public policy. But we must move forward as quickly as possible to ensure a competent government that respects the Constitution and the rule of law, even if we end up with a President who is effective and dedicated to regressive policies.”

Sherman concluded, “I have no illusions. Articles of Impeachment will not pass the House in the near future. But given the risk posed to the Republic, we should move things forward as quickly as possible.”

I am glad to see someone making a push for this already but it might be too early, here's to hoping!

It's important to keep the word/concept of "impeachment" in our vocabulary daily! That's what should be normalized not Trump's depravity!

Trump could be revealed to be heavily into cannibalism, & the GOP would say it's "slightly troubling.. But the president has the authority."
