(15 mins. ago) WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is angrily objecting to the House of Representatives' articles of impeachment, accusing Democrats of “perversion of justice and abuse of power” in their effort to remove him from office.

In a fiery letter Tuesday to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on the eve of his expected impeachment, Trump maintained that he did nothing wrong in seeking foreign investigation of political rivals and attacks Democrats for focusing on impeachment rather than the issues that matter to voters.

Trump also repeated his objections to the process of the House inquiry, claiming “more due process was afforded to those accused in the Salem Witch Trials.”

Trump says he doesn’t believe his letter will change anything, but that he is registering his objections “for the purpose of history.”...

1. Read Trump's letter to House Speaker Pelosi decrying impeachment

Strange.... It appears grammatically correct, as least as far as I've read, yet it has the usual random capitalization of words.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is angrily objecting to the House of Representatives’ articles of impeachment, accusing Democrats of “perversion of justice and abuse of power” in their effort to remove him from office.

In a fiery letter Tuesday to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on the eve of his expected impeachment, Trump maintained that he did nothing wrong in seeking foreign investigation of political rivals, and he attacked Democrats for focusing on impeachment rather than other issues.

Trump also repeated his objections to the process of the House inquiry, claiming “more due process was afforded to those accused in the Salem Witch Trials.”

Trump says he doesn’t believe his letter will change anything, but that he is registering his objections “for the purpose of history.”

2. Perversion?

Projective lying at it's best

[christx30]

32. I kind of believe Trump here.

Because if anyone is an expert on perversion, it's Trump. The man could (have someone ghostwrite) a book on the subject.

[Brainfodder]

3. Bring on the hole digging devices Mr. President!

I for one applaud your efforts!

[Collimator]

12. To underthematrix and Brainfodder:

My first reactions were along the same lines.

"Perversion"?! Way to project there, Mister "I would be dating her if she were not my daughter".

Also, "You just keep on diggin' that hole there, little Donny child."

As for his place in history--Trump is the classic Satan copy-cat in that he would rather rule in Hell than serve in Heaven. As long as he is remembered and afforded lots of copy inches, I don't think that he cares if he is labeled bad or good. Being ignored is the one thing that he cannot endure.

Note to any deities paying attention: solitary confinement or being sent back as an impotent, invisible ghost would be great karma.

24. Broke rule #1

"When you're in a hole....quit digging!"

[TeamPooka]

4. Trump and the GOP need to re-read the Constitution.

[rurallib]

15. Re-read? To re-read one must read it first

[dlk]

5. Speaking of perverts...

[rzemanfl]

7. Beat me to it by five minutes. n/t

[hlthe2b]

6. History will record it like Nixon's drunken late night pleading with White House portraits ...

Unhinged...

[BigmanPigman]

9. Oh, he is just fine with being impeached.

It is having a positive effect on his image.

[amb123]

8. Translation:

IBBL! IBBL! IBBL! IBBL! IBBL! IBBL! IBBL!

Damn megalomaniac!

[gibraltar72]

10. Or histrionics.

[Talitha]

11. Sucks to be you, Donnie!!!

[ffr]

13. Just wait until tonight when he sees the angry crowds protesting on impeachment eve tonight!

LET'S MAKE SOME NEWS!

[bucolic_frolic]

14. Thank you Donald Trump for demonstrating your insanity for all to see for all time

Thank you so very very much!

[Grokenstein]

16. Gimme that old-time projection!

This power-abusing pervert is not our God Emperor.
Impeach the bastard!

[rurallib]

17. lot of words in there that Donnie has no acquaintance with

Wonder who really wrote it? Barr??

[Talitha]

18. I'm guessing he dictated a 2 hour melt-down his lickspittles,

and charged them with composing this 'perfect letter'.

[Aussie105]

19. Just laying the groundwork

for some future political commentator to say 'Look, we misjudged him, he was misunderstood, he was way ahead of his time!'

. . . . as if!

Meanwhile, in a country far, far away, an ex-leader was sentenced to death for crimes committed while in power.

. . . . just saying.

20. 'Pot calling the kettle black'

The king of perverts calling a legitimate process exactly what he is.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

21. I've been staring at this one line for about 10 minutes and I still can't make any sense of it:

"There is nothing I would rather do than stop referring to your party as the Do-Nothing Democrats."

....Is he claiming that he is instinctively and repetitively using the phrase "Do-Nothing Democrats" over and over again, to this point that it has become a vicious cycle and has become a disrupting force within his life?

Oh my God....is this a cry for help?

Yes, Donald! Yes! Finally! A breakthrough!

[olddad65]

22. Perversion. Finally, something he knows a thing or two about.

[machI]

23. Trump is a criminal. He needs to resign and end all of this.

I am hoping he goes to Leavenworth after he is removed from office.

[turbinetree]

25. Perversion..........................

[wendyb-NC]

26. He always accuses his perceived "enemies"

as guilty of the things he says, does.

[cstanleytech]

27. Easy way to avoid impeachment Donald is to not commit an impeachable offense.

[Farmer-Rick]

28. Poor, little, abused world leader and president of the United States

So, so abused and all he's got is a suite at the white house, a Slovenian sex worker to bed and all the wealth that can be stolen out of Russia. How horrible, how unfair to be impeached for his crimes. So, so abused whiney little baby.

[rickyhall]

29. You mean your "perversion of justice and abuse of power", Mr Dump

[TexasBushwhacker]

30. 6 pages? Must have been written by Stephen Miller n/t

[SeattleVet]

31. Festivus isn't until next Monday, December 23.

That screed is too early to be widely accepted as his 'airing of grievances'; he'll have to do better if he expects to celebrate Festivus with the rest-of-us!

The letter reads like a compilation of things from his Twitter feed for the past year. Definitely unhinged, and probably a good piece of evidence to encourage invoking the 25th Amendment!

[Rincewind]

33. Rincewind angrily objects

to trump, calls him a pervert.
