House votes to kill impeachment effort against Trump
The Hill ^ | July 17, 2019

Posted on 07/17/2019 3:05:35 PM PDT by SMGFan

The House on Wednesday voted 332-95 to kill the first articles of impeachment brought forward under the new Democratic majority, showing off a deep divide among Democrats on whether to go forward with an effort to unseat President Trump.

A majority of Democrats along with the chamber's Republicans voted to table the measure sponsored by Rep. Al Green (D-Texas), while 95 Democrats voted in favor of it.

It's the first time the Democratic House has been confronted with a vote on impeachment, and comes a week before special counsel Robert Mueller is set to testify before two committees on Capitol Hill.

Green, whose previous impeachment votes have accused Trump of inflaming racial tensions, offered the measure immediately after the House on Tuesday voted to condemn Trump over tweets targeting four minority Democratic congresswomen.

Good analysis.

I submit also though that nancy is MUCH more vicious than we give her credit for and will hold her position.

I know women with fathers with mafia ties. No less SICILIAN like her father has.

They would kill you or me faster than most ex cons.

It was all a show vote for their reelections...some needed to be seen as voting for, some against.

Enmasse, they are all useless scum.

That is meaningless too because the wheels of justice are coming after them. This will amount to nothing more than an obstruction of justice charge against themselves.

They couldn’t even get near a simple majority of Democrats?
