WASHINGTON —


. . . Nadler and several of his fellow Judiciary Democrats confirmed during a news conference Wednesday that their investigation has reached a point where they are considering whether to draft articles of impeachment against the president.

“From my personal standpoint, I would say we’re in an impeachment investigation,” Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin said, noting there’s no statute or House rule governing what form an impeachment inquiry must take.

Rep. Eric Swalwell agreed, noting that the House efforts to impeach former Presidents Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton took different forms.

“This is an impeachment investigation,” the California Democrat said of the Judiciary Committee’s current probe into Trump’s alleged crimes and misdeeds.

We are on the road to impeachment, or Presidential nervous breakdown, or both.

for him to leave the building too. Now comes Nunes who is not bright. I feel more less secure for the safety of this country.

All these motherfuckers care about is their own assess. McTurtle like the rest of the eff up party don't want to lose their edge in the continuation of stealing elections by any means necessary, ie. foreign countries . . . .

Mueller is enough, for starters.

Mueller did not really provide a report so much as a roadmap.

Once proceedings commence Americans will be jolted out of their corporate media induced coma fairly quickly.

In order to argue they need documents and testimony in court, there is either an impeachment inquiry or there isn't.
