House Speaker Nancy Pelosi launched the House into a formal impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump on Tuesday, acquiescing to mounting pressure from fellow Democrats and plunging a deeply divided nation into an election year clash between Congress and the commander in chief.
The probe centres on whether Trump abused his presidential powers and sought help from a foreign government for his reelection, actions Pelosi said would mark a “betrayal of his oath of office.” She declared: “No one is above the law.”
Pelosi had long resisted pursuing impeachment, but her caucus moved swiftly in favour of a probe in recent days following reports that Trump asked Ukraine’s president to investigate Democratic foe Joe Biden and his son.
Her decision sets up her party’s most urgent and consequential confrontation with a president who thrives on combat, and it injects deep uncertainty in the 2020 White House race.
Trump, who was meeting with world leaders at the United Nations, called the impending inquiry a “witch hunt” and predicted it would be a “positive for me.”
Good day.
The day didn’t end before him call a look deal DWRLN! That man and corruption a family.
Impeachment hearing is a waste of time! the urgency is very understandable, but
1. once that proposal reaches the senate, its DOA since 3/4 votes are needed to proceed in that chamber of the government and democrats in the senate will be very very cautious about wanting to vote for impeachment given that 20 senate seats held by republicans in red states are up for grabs come 2020!
2. if the impeachment doesn’t push “orangeade” out of office, it would only boost his popularity, prove once again that he’s a survivor and that would be a plus for him to woo undecided voters or centrists, but worst of all galvanize his deplorable trailer park and log cabin base to come out full force 2020 since he’d be perseived as being invincible, he’s revered as a god to them now anyways! right “Dat Mi Seh?” :ngakak
democrats are walking a very tight rope! they’re slowly turning their camp into a circus :ngakak
2020 will be a voter’s question of which circus is better :selamat
@RamJam – Agreed. He is there to carry out an agenda, hence he will not be touched. Don’t be surprise if he is there for a second term.
Walk good!
