ANALYSIS: Impeachment proceedings against Trump have been announced, but what took so long?

Then came the latest morass involving Trump and aid to Ukraine, which was first exposed by an anonymous whistleblower.

If true, that would mean Trump illegally connected foreign aid with efforts to denigrate a political rival, which he has denied. This potentially would fall under the category of"high crimes and misdemeanours", one of the four criteria for impeachment hearings, along with treason and bribery. "I say do it," he said of holding them in contempt, according to the Washington Post."Let them argue in court that they take the position that it's legally questionable. We back off of everything! We've been very weak."

getting excited based on lies, they called for impeachment before they even read the transcript! NothingBurger

What took so long? Waiting to confirm that no democrat has a chance of winning in an election is what happened.

um, they're still stalling they're merely looking into whether to impeach or not, they haven't actually impeached yet. it's torture over here even then, we'd also need 67 senators so that's not happening, it's more of a moral attempt. it ain't even a nuclear weapon

Wow really abc? What took so long? Ridiculous bias

The democrats would have to be the most irrelevant organisation there is... actually calling them an organisation is inaccurate... more like a collection of oxygen thieves

what took so long? what crap. Trump has done nothing wrong....

Lmao at these comments. And they say the left are the snowflakes.

Obviously this is a sick joke from the fake news ABC News! Get the true facts and report the true story to your listeners and viewers, that is of course if you still have any...? I even find your weather forecasts to be fake news!

Do you really think it will come to an impeachment? You might be celebrating too soon

is it worth the risk? just a distraction

Why does the ABC continue to publish such appallingly biased bs about Washington n Pres Trump? I would imagine parts of this piece are libellous - given details now coming about about the Bidens' activities in Ukraine.. 'Impeach Trump' is because the Democrats have nothing else.

Bye bye Biden. 👌🤡🌏

Why has it taken so long? Because not getting the election result you wanted it not grounds for impeachment.

Given that they haven’t launched impeachment proceedings - merely an inquiry - it’s going to take a lot longer than you think.

Trump ain't going anywhere and you know it. KAG2020

American Congress members glorifying their roles while enhancing the notion that law makers create bureaucracy to self perpetuate their own existence!

For those non-partisan, non-Americans watching these activities from afar one could be excused for thinking this just has to be an administration in constant turmoil. One that is extremely xenophobic and ignorant of the outside world.

Those who bend over for trumputin are here in force. Answer to q: need to assure victory in the senate. GOPsenators throwing t under the bus

Maynard Trump Derangement Syndrome again. How can you even run this Democrat partisan diatribe ABC. You’ve hit rock bottom & started to dig.

TheirABC still haven't figured out their stable-mates, the Democrats, have walked into a trap set by realDonaldTrump StupidLeftards

Had to give the far-right snowflakes time to cool off before triggering them again...

Good watch.

No it hasn't, why are you making fake news. Here from your own article 'For now, the Democrats are just starting to investigate whether it's worth voting to impeach the President.' Why are you projecting your TDS on the tax payers dime?

Impeachment Inquiry which prob we ont do any good unless Whistleblower has something on the 🍊🤡

Evidence, and there is still none, only if you believe Twitter, which the crazy Lefties do, just sooo dumb.

Having an actual cause?* *still to be determined

If this, as it has been predicted by pundits, that this was a trap setup by Trump, to get the democrats to focus in on Biden's involvement. What does that say about the ABC's analytical standards?

Incorrect . Impeachment investigation not proceedings which have to passed by members .

They had to create more fake information
