House Democrats on Tuesday unveiled two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump over his contacts with Ukraine: Abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
“Today, in the service to our duty to the Constitution and to our country, the House Judiciary Committee is introducing two articles of impeachment, charging the President of the United States of committing high crimes and misdemeanors,” Nadler said prior to announcing the articles of impeachment.
“It is an impeachable offense for a president to use the powers of his office to seek a personal benefit,” (Snip)
The charges (Snip) stem from second-hand allegations brought forth in a whistleblower complaint by a partisan CIA officer,

And when this attempt fails it would not surprise me in the least if started up a second impeachment effort. And if Trump is reelected and the rats hold the House they will try again during his second term. I suspect that if they did get Trump removed they would start in on Pence. After all, Pence was elected along with Trump and has no more legitimacy in the eyes of leftists than Trumps does. The only thing that will put the brakes on any of this is if the stupid party retakes the House.

Unfortunately according to Allan Dershowitz these are not impeachable acts under the Constitution. Awww but don’t let that stop you.

They are impeaching him for what THEY do. In response, I just sent another contribution to donaldjtrump.com. Let's vote now with our money. The President needs our help.

Whew! At least the President wasn’t charged with aiding and abetting the Peloton exercise bike TV commercial. It did happen on his watch.
Senate Repubs should vote to defer any discussion of impeachment until: Prosecutor Durham completes his grand jury probe into Obama regime corruption; and after AG Barr completes an investigation into whether former VP Biden abused his office so that the Biden family could financially benefit from Burisma and Chinese bribery.

Chicken 'Poop' charges. You could logically charge almost every Democrat member of Congress with abuse of power.

Voters in at least 31 'red' districts were offered a moderate Democrat candidate in 2018. Promising he/she will go to Washington with a primary goal of solving people's problems. After one whole year, THIS is what they have gotten. All pretenses are over. The road to 2020 is clear. Thank you Pelosi/Nadler/Schiff. You have done your country a great favor without intending to do so.

What the hell is "obstruction of Congress"? Oh, I get it: You didn't do what we wanted you to do (it's our way or the highway).

The Democrats broke the law with over 50 misdeeds on the FISA warrants alone, and all they could come up with is
1. He didn't help them dig up anything they could convict him of
2. He dared to expose the deep and widespread corruption of the Democrats in Ukraine

If you can be charged with Obstruction of Congress, then you can be charged with Obstruction of President, a co-equal branch of govt.

If the Dems, who claim to be in an uproar over imagined violations of the Constitution, had listened to Mark Levin interviewing Alan Dershowitz Sunday night, they would have understood their articles of impeachment hold no water.

It looks like the Democrats want to impeach President Trump for doing his job. Can we impeach them for not doing theirs? Plus spending millions of our dollars on such frivolous activities? I think a lot of Democrats will be moving back home after the election.

I'd like to make a minor correction to the charges. He is charged with USE of power which was bestowed upon him by the 2016 election. How dare he when Hillary, the Butcher of Benghazi, ISIS armorer, spewer of classified secretes was to be coronated.

No high crimes nor misdemeanors... this is an unconstitutional impeachment -- nothing as delineated in the constitution. Trump should challenge this in the Supreme Court before going to trial. This should be tossed out on that basis.

Apparently they have no idea how utterly ludicrous this is. "It is an impeachable offense for a president to use the powers of his office to seek a personal benefit"?!
If that was indeed impeachable, every single member of Congress would be impeachable.

Unconstitutional as one may say, Articles of Impeachment passed by the House are still "impeachment" - and the Supreme Court has no standing to review the findings of the body that "shall have the sole Power of Impeachment" under Article I, section 2.
I still cannot believe this will come to a floor vote as anything other than a censure resolution. The cover used in backing down will be interesting, with Pelosi standing in the background at the "unveiling". Certainly it cannot be "We don't have the votes." It appears the Speaker is going to track the carpet with paint walking out of this corner. I suspect she's done regardless of election outcome in '20.
IF this passes, keep an eye on Mitch and the GOPe. If not a conviction, there may be some harsh "criticism" and a challenger.

That's it???
I thought that the Dims would also accuse PDJT of (1) giving them dirty looks and (2) teasing them relentlessly. Oh, and also for pulling on Pelosi's pigtails.
Boy, was I off base on this!

Two steaming piles of donkey manure unveiled.
But they have no more value than steaming piles, there is no truth, no facts, nothing real that makes them up. They are stinking, obviously false fantasies spun out of hate, fiction and political "science", the latter of which struck me as hilarious when I first heard that the laziest slug on our dorm floor was going to study "political science" as a college topic. I laughed then at the obviously oxymoronic name, and it is one of the primary ingredients in this mess, which amounts to NOTHING.
I hope this crushes any chance the Dems have of retaining the House and guarantees the re-election of the best President in my lifetime.

So if Trump vetoes a bill, that, too, is "obstructing Congress?"

Notice that they dropped the quid pro quo, bribery and Ukrainian phone call articles of impeachment when the WH announced that they would call Schiff, CIAramella and both Bidens as witnessed during a senate trial. That constitutes an admission of guilt.

I am reminded of language class. "Seite, seile?"
What Federal Statute, and what phrase?
Wnhat law gives the House the power to control the President?
I missed that in Civics.
Did he break a law? He sure offended some Deep State functionaries.
But Schiff and Nadler offend me.
