Democrats Know They’re Going To Impeach Trump — Now It’s Just A Matter Of When

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING WASHINGTON ― Democrats ended their first day of impeachment hearings in the Judiciary Committee Wednesday by stressing that they haven’t made up their minds on the matter. “We haven’t even decided whether to impeach or not,” committee member Rep. Ted Lieu told HuffPost, despite repeatedly arguing for impeachment over the last year. Democrats seem less enthused about including an article detailing the president’s violation of the Constitution’s “emoluments clause,” which prohibits officers of the U.S. government from accepting gifts from foreign governments. “But obviously, we’re focusing on the evidence that’s in front of us, and so far that has been around the Mueller report and and mostly around Ukraine.” Some Democrats have asked leadership to make the articles more comprehensive so that more vulnerable members could performatively vote against certain articles, like an “emoluments clause” violation and obstruction of justice while advancing the Ukraine issues to the Senate.
