Democrats unveil articles of impeachment against Trump
The Hill, Dec 10, 2019

House Democrats on Tuesday said they would bring two articles of impeachment against President Trump, setting up just the third vote to impeach a U.S. president in history.

"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," House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said before introducing the first article.

The charges brought by Democrats are that Trump abused the power of his office and that he obstructed Congress in the impeachment inquiry. "It is an impeachable offense for a president to use the powers of his office to seek a personal benefit," Nadler sad, pointing to Trump's actions in Ukraine.

Both of the charges are related to the unfolding controversy surrounding Trump's efforts to pressure Ukraine's government to conduct an investigation of one of Trump's political rivals — former Vice President Joe Biden.

The man is psychotic. And that NO exaggeration.

He's literally delusional or he has decided he can lie with impunity. Either way he's driven by hatred.

I saw Dershowitz on Levin as well and was very interested in the concept of voiding this impeachment, if anyone has the intestinal fortitude to try to do so it is Trump. Watching War Room with Steve Bannon.
