The House has released the articles of impeachment against Trump. Read them here:
judiciary.house.gov/sites/democrat…
Article One: Trump abused his power by soliciting foreign interference in the 2016 election from the Ukrainian government, conditioning an Oval Office meeting and military aid on the public announcement of investigations into his political opponents.
The articles call for Trump to be not only impeached and removed from office but also disqualified from holding any government office in the future.
Article Two: Trump mounted an unprecedented campaign of obstruction of Congress, directing witnesses in the executive branch to refuse to testify in the impeachment investigation and withholding documents even in the face of lawful congressional subpoenas.
In doing so, Trump directly flouted the Constitution, denying Congress its constitutional prerogative to hold the president accountable.

Pompeo should discuss this with Trump, who refuses to believe the intel community about Russian interference, calls investigations that inconvenience him “witch hunts,” and smears an intel community whistleblower who filed a lawful complaint about his extortion of Ukraine.
Meanwhile, the State Department—which Pompeo *currently* runs—still has not put out a statement in support of Yovanovitch for fear of a mean tweet from Trump, and is pushing Bill Taylor out early so Pompeo won’t have to talk to him in Ukraine. cnn.com/2019/12/19/pol…
And John Durham, the investigator Trump and Barr hand-picked to substantiate conspiracy theories about the Russia probe, is reportedly going after Pompeo’s predecessor John Brennan—but you don’t hear Pompeo complaining about that 🤔

Trump’s advisers tried to convince him that Ukraine wasn’t working against him in 2016.
Trump refused to believe them. Why? Because, he said, “Putin told me.” washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
It’s been clear for a long time that Trump’s conspiracy theories traced back to Russia. Here’s the evidence showing how he got it from The indicted suspected Russian intel operative Konstantin Kilimnik ... themoscowproject.org/dispatch/trump…
... and the timeline of how Putin (and his acolyte Viktor Orban) turned him against Zelensky before the July 25 call: themoscowproject.org/dispatch/trump…

Republicans have spent the day trotting out the same old lies and denying basic facts to protect Donald Trump.
Here are the actual facts:
-There was no Ukrainian interference against Trump in 2016
themoscowproject.org/dispatch/debun…
-Trump *did* bribe and extort Ukraine, withholding vital military assistance and a White House meeting until President Volodymyr Zelensky announced investigations of his political opponents
-Ukraine knew full well aid was being withheld as early as July 25
themoscowproject.org/dispatch/debun…
-The July 25 call was impeachable in itself—and as part of a months-long bribery and extortion scheme

Here we go
House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler just announced the two articles of impeachment against Trump:
- Abuse of power
- Obstruction of Congress
"Our president holds the ultimate public trust," Nadler said.

"When he betrays that trust and puts himself before the country, he endangers the constitution, he endangers our democracy and he endangers our national security."

🔥It’sGameOn!🔥

The House has opened an impeachment investigation against Trump

The House filed a petition to access to redacted portions of the MR re GJ testimony re Trump’s knowledge of criminal acts, RU interference in the 2016Elex election & RU connex to his campaign.
🔥It’sGameOn2🔥

Finally, the committee seeks grand jury testimony about actions taken by former WH counsel Donald McGahn; this last request probably anticipates the committee’s rumored plans to seek an order compelling McGahn to testify.

#ObstructionOfJustice
🔥It’sGameOn3🔥

It is settled law that House committees can obtain GJ materials as part of the impeachment inquiry.

The Constitution’s text and structure — supported by judicial precedent & prior practice — show that impeachment is a process, not a single vote & IT IS UNDERWAY!
