The House Judiciary Committee resumed deliberations Friday and approved two articles of impeachment against President Trump accusing him of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

The panel began deliberations shortly after 10 a.m. following an abrupt halt late Thursday night. The full House is expected to vote to impeach Trump next week, though Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has said there is “no chance” his chamber will vote to remove him from office.

At the heart of the Democrats’ case is the allegation that Trump tried to leverage a White House meeting and military aid, sought by Ukraine to combat Russian military aggression, to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to launch an investigation of former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, as well as a probe of an unfounded theory that Kyiv conspired with Democrats to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.

Original article -

BREAKING: The committee voted along party lines on the charges, one of which accuses the president of using the powers of his office to solicit "the interference of a foreign government, Ukraine, in the 2020 United States Presidential election." The other accuses the president of using the powers of his office to direct "the unprecedented, categorical, and indiscriminate defiance of subpoenas issued by the House of Representatives pursuant to its 'sole Power of Impeachment.' "

2. A thing of beauty just now.

Gym, Collins, Louie and Matt (DUI BOY) shut up and sit down.......of course it’s momentous, somber, sad, et cetera, ad nauseum but never lose sight of the criminal whose reckless lawlessness got us here. Proud to be a Democrat.

3. Soon they'll be a permanent record

Showing how republicans voted against the rule of law, Democracy, and the future with no congress or court able to have equal power to a corrupt dictator, and it will only give Putin more power controlling our government. Next republicans will lift putins sanctions for him.

4. Birtherism was also foreign dirt cooked up against Democrats by Trump

And it involved Russians too! Recall Orley Taitz?? The Russian Dentist who railed about Obama's foreign birth for years? I bet that's not being mentioned very often anymore.

This bright shiny new object mental trick Trump plays must be exposed for what it is. it feeds paranoia, hatred, division

5. Dems 23, Traitors 17...

[calimary]

7. Traitors? You mean that bunch which worships a self-anointed king

instead of the Constitution of the United States?

Power over principles?

Their own re-election over the law?

Fear over courage?

Wrong over right?

That bunch?

Yes. THAT bunch.

Political expediency and short-term gain may rule the moment, but History will NOT be kind.

6. This is so sad "along party lines"...where is the patriotism of these republicans?

Only very ignorant people would not understand the gravity of the crimes committed by the creature, only the very ignorant would not understand the level of criminality that the creature has sustained through his life. Very sad that these republicans who claim to love their country will kneel at the feet of a criminal and a traitor.
