Since President Trump’s election, some members of the Democrat Party have been determined to impeach him. First, it was so-called ‘Russian collusion,’ and when the Mueller Report didn’t satisfy their desires...
Democrats cooked up two articles of impeachment to accomplish their goal and even attempt to prevent future ballot access. This has been a flagrant abuse of power by the U.S. House, and it took the Senate to end this charade.
America deserves better in the future, and I hope we won’t go down such a partisan-driven path again. #ImpeachmentVote
And there it is. President Trump has been impeached by the 116th House of Representatives on two Articles of #Impeachment #NexstarDC 
Whether you love, hate or feel nothing toward the #impeachment of President Trump what we’ve just witnessed is historic. The US House’s vote will live in the record. People may lose seats over this vote. This mark on a President’s legacy is permanent
Speaker Pelosi says this vote honors the founders, says today is a sad day for the country but a good day for the constitution. #ImpeachmentVote #NexstarDC
Today we need to ask how anyone could defend Trump after all he's done! Clearly, Republicans would impeach a Democrat who did far less(see Bill Clinton)

Georgia Congressman John Lewis just gave a stirring #ImpeachmentDay speech on the House floor that echoes the moral righteousness of the Civil Rights battles in which he fought:
"Madame Speaker, I rise with a heavy heart to support this resolution. ..." 1/5👇🏻

Rep. John Lewis cont.: "When we came to Washington in 1961 to go on the Freedom Rides, we chose that day. When we came here on Aug. 28, 1963 for the March on Washington, it was joyful. We met with a young president—President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. ..." 2/5👇🏻
Rep. John Lewis: "When we came here on Aug. 6, 1965 for the signing of the Voting Rights Act, we were excited, hopeful. We met with President Lyndon Johnson. But today, this day, we didn’t ask for this. This is a sad day. It’s not a day of joy. ..." #impeachmentvote 3/5👇🏻
Mississippi Congressman Bennie Thompson speaks on the House in favor of impeachment: "The question that will be answered today: Is will members honor their oath to uphold the Constitution? Democrats are not supporting impeachment based on a policy disagreement or (2016)..."
Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) cont.: "No one is above the law. The president must be held accountable. A const process is not a hoax or a witch hunt. President Trump just opposes this. No one is about the law. Not even Donald J. Trump. ..." 2/ #ImpeachmentDay 👇🏻
Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS): "The president abused his power by pressuring Ukraine to help his re-election campaign. Impeachment is a constitutional remedy for his actions. Trump betrayed his oath, betrayed the const, & undermine the integrity of our elections." 3/#ImpeachmentDay
Recently, some whose views I greatly respect like @DavidJollyFL are calling for @SpeakerPelosi to postpone an #impeachment vote due to statements by @SenateMajLdr and @LindseyGrahamSC indicating the United States Senate will NOT conduct a fair and impartial trial...

...basis by the @SenateJudiciary @JudiciaryDems Committee. OUR House, the White House is on fire. The arsonist, Pres. Trump, was in the House setting it ablaze w/a blow torch. He’s exchanged the blow torch for a rocket launcher and taken aim at the #2020Elections.

@realDonaldTrump @USNaval_Academy @US_Army_Academy @USCoastal_Academy @USAirForceAcademy #moralmentalphysical #duty #honor #code #ImpeachmentVote @washingtonpost THANK EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU FOR SERVING OUR NATION AND FOR LIVING UNDER THE HONOR CODE. I AM SORRY THE POTUS
LACKS SUCH MORAL CHARACTER YOU WILL REMEMBER THIS DAY ...NOT DUE TO HIS PRESENCE AT THE ARMY NAVY GAME BY BEING A STELLAR EXAMPLE OF A COMMANDER AND CHIEF ......BUT INSTEAD BECAUSE HIS ETHICS ARE STRAING THE THREADS OF DEMOCRACY AND DISGRACES THE COUNTRY!
"A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do." Cadets accused of violating the Honor Code face a standardized investigative and hearing process.” As a cadet you submit to the highest ethical standards while the POTUS deems himself above the law.
@realDonaldTrump @NBCNews @chrislhayes #ImpeachmentVote HONOR CODE: The Army Navy game carries on a great tradition including having the President in attendance. Both schools also have the great tradition of an Honor Code...
where a student is expelled for lying or cheating on academic work or their conduct is an embarrassment to their great traditions. I feel humiliated seeing PRESIDENT TRUMP’s presence degrading the dignity of those great institutions & the referee having you in his presences

5. Literally NO ONE is arguing Hunter Biden’s joining the Burisma board was good “ethically” but the “corrupt” practices at Burisma under investigation in Ukraine were alleged to have taken place 2 YEARS BEFORE Hunter signed up:
