Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Friday called on Congress to impeach President Donald Trump in the wake of the publication of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, breaking with Democratic leaders deferring the politically risky move despite new evidence that Trump attempted to derail the Russia probe.
“To ignore a President’s repeated efforts to obstruct an investigation into his own disloyal behavior would inflict great and lasting damage on this country, and it would suggest that both the current and future Presidents would be free to abuse their power in similar ways,” Warren“The severity of this misconduct demands that elected officials in both parties set aside political considerations and do their constitutional duty,” the Massachusetts Democrat added.
Mueller’s 448-page report described at least 10 instances in which Trump attempted to interfere with the probe, implying that the president may have escaped an incriminating finding because top aides refused to carry out his most dramatic orders. The severity of this misconduct demands that elected officials in both parties set aside political considerations and do their constitutional duty. That means the House should initiate impeachment proceedings against the President of the United States.Warren, a leading contender in the 2020 field, called for extreme measures in response to the revelations. She joined a smattering of lawmakers — including Rep.
“Mueller put the next step in the hands of Congress: ‘Congress has authority to prohibit a President’s corrupt use of his authority in order to protect the integrity of the administration of justice,’” Warren said. “The correct process for exercising that authority is impeachment.”
And we shall ignore her.
Nobody cares
It’s just about headlines.
Again, on what charge
It’s called DESPERATION.
Elizabeth Warren has been calling for the impeachment of Trump before people in this country had ever heard of Robert Mueller.
She is so silly.
Nancy Pelosi is on target. Now is not the time.
Pocahontas crazy lady!!
It’s treason for her to request that. She needs to be arrested
Pocahontas is on the warpath!
Her campaign is going nowhere.
Pandering.
What for? Just for being a political opponent? Are we a banana republic?
Hear hear!!
How is she *breaking with Dem leaders* They all agree on impeachment! Surely, you're not implying she said to skip any investigative hearings first....
Too bad for her that she has no power to make that happen...pretty easy to say if she doesn’t have to vote to start the process or do the heavy lifting...
There's no way that they can impeach make it account if they don't have the nation and the Republicans along with them so the idiots that don't understand that you have to do the verifying the facts.🤔
Of course SenWarren wants Her biggest competition gone every democrat want President Trump gone, but it won’t work all the corruption and ugly lies the Democrats have done to destroy President Trump have made Americans WalkAway from the Democrats You can’t trust Democrats!
Why? 1. Because Mueller found that Trump did not collude or conspire with Russian? 2. Mueller found that Trump’s actions didn’t impede his investigation which proved there was no crime.
Failed Presidential candidate, Elizabeth Warren....
Hahaha
Hiawatha on warpath against Big Chief Donald. She make rain dance to High Priestess of Hot Flashes so that next Great White Father is Great White Mother. No way, no how she workem.
Tanking in the pols, a desperate woman who can't tell the truth about her own background is acting the fool. Your fake Russian story, 2+ year ruse is over. Shut up and sit down. Your coup failed.
Warden is a fool, how is her campaign going? The voters will speak in 2020
Please! America would love to see all the conspirators cross examined!!
The Senator should borrow a copy of the Constitution and read the requirements for impeachment and more importantly what is needed to convict.
Warren is corrupt
Life is risky but having this cancerous growth on our democracy is worse. Yes the senate will fail us but the congress should not. Trump will have to answer with his voice. He will have to testify!!!
Do it you fools
I'm with Warren. Impeach him, televise the hearings, and let the American people be the judge and jury.
For What?
Unless they have 67 Senators willing to convict, drawing up Articles of Impeachment is a pipedream. Stop grandstanding and pandering to the far left.
IMPEACH THIS CORRUPT POTUS. HE'S A DISGRACE. LOCK HIM UP.
She should be impeached for cultural identity theft.
I know of no democrat leaders who don’t want to impeach Trump, who the special prosecutor and DOJ said there was No Collusion No Obstruction It’s settled law now. No amount of reading the special prosecutor’s report is going to change that.
Politico tilts pretty far left.
She's in bottom of Democrap hacks for President and tries to get some media attention. She's EMBARRASSMENT! Fauxahontas ewarren , SenWarren
Are talking about pokahontas?
I don't know how or why impeachment would be a 'politically risky move'?!? Trump has committed numerous abuses of power-ten identified by Robert Mueller alone-which justify his removal from office. They need to perform their Constitutional duty, not worry about 'political risk!!'
Lol so trump does nothing wrong n deja want to impeach trump. Lol dorks
She needs to get a real platform, change her diaper and then loosen her girdle as well.
Warren is an embarrassment to the position she holds. No integrity ethics or morals.
She’s desperate as she free falls in the polls
Thank you SenWarren for having the courage to do the right thing.
if it is indeed the duty of the House to Impeach if a president has exhibited wrongdoing they are not performing their jobs.
Did she have full ceremonial headdress on when she said it?
Elizabeth Warren now thinks she’s Pelosi? Hmmm she may have dementia too!
Why don’t Dems in the House pass a law that makes pres conduct explicitly illegal for future presidents and watch reps quiver when they explain why they won’t vote for it?
This should be the end of the Democratic Party! NEVER has a President been attacked like this. ShameOnDems LiberalismIsAMentalDisease
crabbydick Abortion doctors should be prosecuted for executing babies. Elizabeth Warren supports the hiring of executioners paid for with federal dollars to perform the executions.
She's irrelevant and like many career politicians just trying to stir something up to regain her relevancy.
Frankly, it’s easy, both personally and politically, for her to take this position. As a senator, the impeachment decision is not hers, and no one will remember her stance because it will get lost in the senate’s likely refusal to convict.
Warren wants Trump's scalp
Lizzy...no one is getting impeached PERIOD!
Virtue Smoke Signaling by Elizabeth 'Pocahontas' Warrents Arrest
Fauxcahontas ewarren trying to remain relevant …..
We know she hunts where others won’t go. The silence unbroken by feet covered by animal skins. The hunter warrior makes her mission a priority and disapproval by others has no meaning. She follows her instincts exclusively.
Desperate, evil woman.
Go ahead make his day
LOCK HIM UP
Is there a Cherokee dance for impeachment?
Integrity is expensive, but the cost of doing nothing is what we really can’t afford
She’s right.
She better read the report. It is looking bad for the Obama camp. Ummmm no scandals eh? Go for it House...😜potus vp foxnews oann NextNewsNet NewRightNetwork BillOReilly mitchellvi msnbc cnn
Why not...worked well for Bill Clinton.
She’s only doing it because she can’t win. America is not stupid. I guess Pocahontas is
She will get her wish. This is all playing out perfectly.
She’s tanking in the polls so she needs to pander to her base somehow
'Party leaders fear such a move could cost the party the House.' The exact opposite is true. Inaction would cost them the House and would possibly get Trump re-elected. They won the House because the American people were hoping Democrats will hold Trump accountable.
Yeah great Liz... Now all you need is a legal reason.
Democrats need to realize it's more politically risky *not* to move to impeach. Republicans won't turn out in droves if they impeach, but Democratic voters might stay home in disappointment if they don't.
There is no risk but courage and responsibility. No one is above the law. Bring Trump to the congress and make him answer the questions. There will be a huge surprise.
We need to file treasonous charges on every Congressman every senator in the federal government we need to do DNA tests on every single one of them and check their bank accounts. Time to take out the garbage amend America for peace and love
As a Republican, I hope they do begin impeachment proceedings. If you think dem house members in Trump districts are going to win re-election if they pursue that, you’re wrong. People want compromise and real solutions to the problems facing middle America, not theatrics.
Frikin do it. Blah blah blah
Let’s look in to Chief’s lying to gain a place in College. Funny how THAT was glazed over!! She stole a seat from a deserving person but that’s what SNAKES DO! You want THAT as President? Chief Sitting Bull Sh*t?
So Mr. Muellers report shouldn't be cross exaimed by anyone else? His opinion is 100%legit.. I think NOT!
Impeach him for what, exactly?
Just a ploy by Liawatha to throw a bone to the Left, since she knows it's DOA in Congress. The political equivalent to ...'everybody get pony!'.
Lol yeah ok. The only president that will be impeached is Obama once his indictments roll out.
People have been saying for two years that the GOP needs to put country over party. Maybe the Democrats need to do the same. Impeachment may fail. Do we only fight when we're guaranteed a victory? We'd still all be British.
Extremely bad move. Going to be DNA-gate all over again.
What else has ewarren got to do to call attention to herself? She's ran out of smoke!
Hey ewarren
Pelosi's getting drunk. She knows that after Clinton was acquitted his approval jumped over 20 points.
you cant play safe all the time, sometimes you just have to go all in
Sad that adhering to the rule of law can be a politically risky move.
