Toastrel Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Three House Democrats to introduce article of impeachment against Trump https://www.cbsnews.com/news/impeachment-democrats-introduce-articles-trump/ Quote The article of impeachment accuses the president of "willfully inciting violence against the Government of the United States." While Congress was counting the Electoral College votes, the article says that Mr. Trump, addressing supporters nearby, "willfully made statements that encouraged — and foreseeably resulted in — imminent lawless action at the Capitol." "Incited by President Trump, a mob unlawfully breached the Capitol, injured law enforcement personnel, menaced Members of Congress and the Vice President, interfered with the Joint Session's solemn constitutional duty to certify the election results, and engaged in violent, deadly, destructive, and seditious acts," the article says. This is a good start. I hope that 1/3rd of the Republicans who made stirring speeches retain enough balls or ovaries to bring the hammer down.

Talkingbirds Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Read the earliest the senate would get to it is the 19th. By the time a vote would come to the floor Biden will be President. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No if it’s even close, he would be a complete buffoon to let it happen. He would just pardon his kids and resign a day or two prior to January 20 with a stipulation that impeachment process ends. That way, he gets all the perks (including being able to run again which he’ll get) and the rest of us feel a little vindicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seventy_Yard_FG Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I hope they do impeach him because at trial he should be able to raise the truth or falsity of his election fraud claims as a defense, so finally we can get some answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the merit of waiting until Jan. 20 for Senate Impeachment proceedings, is Trump will be facing criminal charges at the same time Senate will be debating impeachment.

They made passionate speeches late at night and went back to their old ways the next day, with few exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not when you subscribe to the "everyone that disagrees with me is the deep state” line of thinking. It works great for parking tickets too!
