IN THE END, the story told by the two articles of impeachment approved on Friday morning by the House Judiciary Committee is short, simple and damning: President Donald Trump abused the power of his office by strong-arming Ukraine, a vulnerable ally, holding up hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid until it agreed to help him influence the 2020 election by digging up dirt on a political rival.
When caught in the act, he rejected the very idea that a president could be required by Congress to explain and justify his actions, showing “unprecedented, categorical and indiscriminate defiance” in the face of multiple subpoenas. He made it impossible for Congress to carry out fully its constitutionally mandated oversight role, and, in doing so, he violated the separation of powers, a safeguard of the American republic.
To quote from the articles, “President Trump, by such conduct, has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to national security and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with self-governance and the rule of law.”

What the Democrats are really afraid of is Trump will be re-elected.
That’s the real reason - and the sole reason - they want to impeach him.
Even if true, it doesn’t rise to the level of an impeachable offense.
Hearsay? absolutely not!
They went on FEEEELINGS, don’t you know, ORANGE MAN BAD.
“For every problem there is a solution which is simple, clean and wrong.”
Henry Louis Mencken
Defiantly disingenuous.
Impeachment is the Democrat Preparation H.
Mere butthurt isn’t going to be soothed by impeachment.
The New York Times Editorial Board writes that Trump should be impeached.
How is this news?
When will the full house vote on this? Or do they have to go through with another show trial?
Sometime in the coming week.
Senate trial would begin next year.
Well it's been almost eighty years and the slimes are if nothing consistent. They're still on the side of the Nazis
There is a certain percentage of the population that still gets their news from the major networks and mainstream media including the press. They go about their business and maybe converse with others like them who don't pay close attention. They hear only headlines from their favorite music radio station at the top of the hour, maybe briefly see the front page of their newspaper as they go to the sports section.
They are not politically in tune and take to heart all the negative messaging coming from these sources. Come election time, they respond to the Dems request to vote to correct the wrongdoing by Trump and give him the defeat he deserves. Add to all this the Dem voter fraud which is being totally ignored by the Trump campaign (voter harvesting, absentee ballot fraud, same day registration, etc. etc.) and the Dems have their victory. With all the media spouting lies and Dems rigging the vote, we have an uphill pull to have a Trump second term.
NYT is not a disinterested party.
There are several individuals at NYT who stand to hang for treason if they can’t stop Trump.
Anyone who has read the transcript of Trump’s phone call with Zelensky knows that this is nonsense.
Just think of them as exactly the same as Adam Schiff.
The Seinfeld Impeachment.
An impeachment about nothing.
