House Democrats will unveil articles of impeachment in a press conference on Tuesday morning, recommending that President Trump be removed from office for obstructing justice and abuse of power, according to multiple reports.

I’m in favor of getting something on the board, on the record. If Pelosi has the votes to pass the articles she should move now (which she apparently is). The political impact of it will be like a slow moving Cat 5 storm.

I would like them to do the ‘pass and hold’ strategy to buy a few months for some additional articles, court decisions and to make Trump face his Senate trial in the spring. But that decision is up to Nancy.

Agreed… I would hope there will not be a rush to get this to the Senate now… no matter when they get it it will be spun as complete vindication for tRump when they do not convict

Other news sources are saying obstruction of Congress, not obstruction of justice.

From the WP:

Three officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity to be frank, described the likely articles that the Judiciary Committee would vote on later this week: one on abuse of power, the other on obstruction of Congress.

They seem to only be reporting 2 Articles. I wonder if that’s all there is or that’s all the News knows about. Seems like there should be more than just 2 Articles of Impeachment

Obstruction of Congress is better as a precedent, if it sticks.

For about 15 minutes. The spigot of corruption will continue to flow and every time a new story comes out and he’s proven to have done something else, the GOP will have to wear their vote like a sign. They’ve just scratched the surface. This isn’t the only thing he’s done the past four years.

Of course, while the articles of impeachment are presented, Donny is meeting and greeting the Russians.

Great optics, Trumplicans!

Nadler looks good. Serious and to the point.

One good thing about this announcement…that bozo Collins and his goobers at least can’t interrupt this announcement. It’s undeniably happening, folks. One could say The Donald was always destined to be an impeached motherfucker.

Only question left is how many tweets will he shit out today? I read he tweeted over a hundred times on Sunday to complain about everything. A new record.

This is for you, you royal lowlife.

If they are smart, I think it will include a suprise article also. The media needs something shiny and new to chase.

Freak Out! for sure.

But De Rump will never, ever be chic.
