WASHINGTON— House Democrats announced two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, declaring he “betrayed the nation” with his actions toward Ukraine as they pushed toward historic proceedings that are certain to help define his presidency and shape the 2020 election.The specific charges aimed at removing the 45th president of the United States: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.Speaker Nancy Pelosi, flanked by the chairmen of impeachment inquiry committees at the U.S. Capitol, said they were upholding their solemn oath to defend the Constitution. Trump responded angrily on Twitter: “WITCH HUNT!”Voting is expected in a matter of days by the Judiciary Committee, which begins deliberations Wednesday,

Thousands of hours of investigation, and billions of our tax dollars wasted, and this is all they could come up with?!?!?!?!? Seriously?!?!?!?!?
My grandmother was a saintly little church lady, but if they had investigated her the way they have done their president, Donald Trump, I'm sure they could have found some dirt on her too. But nothing that would have made her any more impeachable than their president, Donald Trump!!!!!

I wonder if "reporters" Lisa and Mary Clare of the AP feel the slightest guilt out of the media's disgraceful, dishonest coverage of this witch hunt. Or do they realize just how thin the actual charges are after years of "bombshells". What a pathetic spectacle.

“In the formal articles announced Tuesday, the Democrats said Trump ......endangered national security by asking Ukraine to investigate his political rivals, including Democrat Joe Biden.....”
Will someone explain how our national security was “endangered” by Trump’s request to investigate Joe Biden’s political corruption and Ukraine’s attempt to help Hillary win the 2016 election? I thought that Democrats viewed Ukraine as simply a fat piggy bank for their sons rather than a country the sons and daughters of normal Americans are to fight and die for.

If there ever is a legitimate investigation targeting US politicians who have received “kickbacks” from countries like Ukraine, China and possibly even Iran, there is a very good chance that it will not be President Trump who will be found to have “Betrayed the Nation” through political corruption. Concerning that leftist and liberal Democrat allegation against Trump, actually the opposite is true as since being elected Trump has always put America’s interests first and it is obvious that a lot of DC “UniParty” politicians are pretty nervous about Trump asking the leader of a foreign country to cooperate with the US Attorney General in rooting out past corruption related to the 2016 election, and corrupt politicians some of who may be Americans. Remember there is no US law that gives US politicians immunity from being investigated for past corrupt activities because they intend to run for high office in the future.

Trump is probably the most moral person in DC. Congress is a joke. Since the dems think Trump is so dangerous why didn’t they miss some vacations to prove they really are concerned.

Yup, PT has betrayed the nation by bringing jobs back, the lowest unemployment in 50 years including the lowest unemployment for minorities, lowered the number of Piglousi's divinity illegals, higher wages for workers, lowered the welfare roll, tossed out that European green deal that would kill out economy because we'd be redistributing even more taxpayer money to corrupt and greedy countries, demanding NATO counties pony up their agreed to dues, which they're slowly doing, etc., etc.
Bottom line: PT hasn't betrayed the country; he's betrayed all the demonrat socialist/fascist/communist policies and ideals. That's the real reason.

The dice have been cast. The democrat party is now the Titanic just before impact or the Lusitania after she sighted a spread of torpedoes running hot, straight and true - neither situation ended well.

They want ultimately control who sits in the Oval Office, voters be damned. This is an egregious abuse of power that has used every abuse of power the criminal racket known as the FBI/DOJ/NSA/CIA could bring to bear... and now the House of Reprehensibles.
It's time to sharpen the pitchforks and wax up the torches.
