Only four months ago, the debate over whether to impeach President Trump deeply divided Democrats in Congress, pitting moderates in pro-Trump districts against progressives in liberal strongholds.
But even so, many predict that only a few Democrats will vote no on impeachment, perhaps as few as the two who opposed formally opening the inquiry in October. But progressives want to see broader charges against Trump, eager to hold him accountable for what they call blatant obstruction of justice during former special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation related to Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. They say the White House’s repeated attacks on the Mueller inquiry and Trump’s attempt to have him fired meritModerates who were skeptical of pursuing impeachment based on the Mueller investigation view that as overreach.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff of Burbank and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler of New York are mindful of what happened to Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich and his lieutenants when the Clinton impeachment inquiry was blamed for the loss of several Republican seats in the following election.— was that impeachment would backfire on Democrats at the polls.
The impeachment process in the House resumes Monday when the Judiciary Committee will hear the case presented by staff attorneys in both parties. The panel is expected to reconvene later in the week for the expansive process of drafting the articles of impeachment and debating which charges should be included. The House floor vote to impeach the president is expected late the following week, sending the case to the GOP-controlled Senate, which would conduct a trial.
Rep. James E. Clyburn , the Democratic whip, said party leaders wouldn’t pressure members to fall in line.
The LA Times was objective at one time. Now they are just a liberal lap dog. Really sad for the non deluded in LA.
Who cares? It’s all BS.
Dnc coup.
Bigger than Nadler 20 years ago?
Go Big or Go Home!
They're definitely not united. Nadler says its about one thing. Pelosi says its about something else. No wonder they can't even convince all of the democratic members of the House that impeachment is even warranted. What a sh*t show.
Trump! Trump! Trump! Trump!
Senate doesn’t give a shit about this RepAdamSchiff circus.
Not big enough.
Pelosi may find it urgent to send a Bill of Impeachment for Trump's obstruction of the impeachment process up to the Senate. But investigations on other counts must go on. Witnesses are still coming forward. Investigative phase could take every working day thru Nov 2020
Real big!
Across the board!!
You mean coup. Arrest Schiff for his coup attempt
Desperate Dims with no chance at 270. Impeach and lose big in 2020. Don’t impeach and lose big in 2020. The damage for the Dims abuse of power is done. DemocratsHateAmerica
To most impeachment is impeachment 😂 STAY IN THE BASEMENT
I hope they include crimes against humanity charges for what’s been done to the children interned in inhumane conditions.
They’ll get the votes in the house because it’s mostly Democrats, they won’t get it in the house, and then the conspiracy leaders on the Democrats side can be questioned. The country doesn’t want an impeachment and therefore are handing Trump a 2020 victory.
Democrats own virtually every level of government in California, including the governorship, both U.S. Senate seats, 46 of the state’s 53 congressional members, and three-fourths of state legislators.
Kitchen sink it?
As wide as nancy s. ..mouth...............
ladolcevitaone The Democrats should consider two categories of wrong, those mandating impeachment and those that mandate impeachment and/or censure. Additionally, the Democrats should use part of this investigation to introduce legislation to deal with future Trump's.
Well Dems will have a solid case if they included jaywalking.
They have no shot beating him at the poles. Impeaching him on unimpeachable offenses should do the trick!
Pull my finger.
The fair and balanced LA times. Your slogan should be 'We care about crime.... sometimes'
The FakeImpeachmentHoax .... because they hate him. Democrats Hate America!
Child abusers for impeachment ... right, LATimes?
How about just: “batshit crazy”?
How about printing the real Corruption and Collusion?
LOL!!! NOPE! There's a lot of Democrats getting serious challenges for re-election. At the end of the day, they all want to get re-elected & they'll pander to whoever they need to to win.
