It's Time To Write The Articles Of Impeachment

One of these California congressmen is in very serious trouble.

Brianne Gorod and Elizabeth Wydra put together three fantastic, hypothetical articles of impeachment against Donald Trump in The New Republic. They are detailed, yet focused. And it’s precisely what the Democrats should put together in December. They don’t need any more public witness testimony. It is time to impeach.

I suspect that the the articles written by Gorod and Wydra will align closely with the real indictment the House Judiciary Committee will approve sometime in December. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the Intelligence Committee will probably prosecute the case before the Senate. Yesterday, we saw a preview of his closing arguments. It ought to be a slam-dunk case, but he will fail to persuade more than two Republican senators to vote guilty.

Based on the law and the evidence, the Senate should vote to remove the criminal president from office in January, but barring a miracle, that won't happen. Instead, it will fall to the voters to remedy the horrible mistake they made three years ago. If Trump is re-elected, we can probably write finis to our little democratic experiment in the United States.
