I support the impeachment of @realDonaldTrump
My concerns about the President’s conduct have grown over months, particularly as I thoroughly reviewed Special Counsel Mueller’s report. President Trump’s most recent actions with regard to Ukraine have created new urgency to take action
Given this clear abuse of power, I believe I have an obligation to outline the conduct, both during the Russian investigation and the Ukraine matter, that is within the well-established definition of the “high crimes and misdemeanors”
In 1787 at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Elbridge Gerry rose and offered a powerful justification for including impeachment in the final Constitution: “A good magistrate will not fear [impeachments]. A bad one ought to be kept in fear of them.”
In the face of such blatant abuse of power and self-interested violations of the public trust—high crimes and misdemeanors—Congress must act
