Things are about to get real. Impeachment headwinds that have been swirling since the day Trump first set foot in the Oval Office are blowing like never before.
Nancy Pelosi’s strategy of “slow-walking” Donald Trump to the guillotine has suddenly picked up steam. What many Americans thought would happen immediately after Special Counsel Robert Mueller issued his damning Trump-Russia report, way back in March, is finally upon us.
It is being reported that after a closed-door meeting with her caucus, House Speaker Pelosi will announce a formal impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump. This may take the form of establishing a select committee to conduct the impeachment.
“The dam has burst, folks,” tweeted progressive advocacy group Indivisible after more House Democrats recently voiced support for impeachment proceedings against Trump, adding to the majority of the House Democratic caucus that already backed impeachment.
House Democrats who now support impeachment exceeds 164 out of the 235, according to ABC News.
This fast-moving development comes mostly amid new questions about whether Trump made aid to Ukraine contingent on Ukraine’s President agreeing to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.
Meanwhile, Republicans are digging in their heels to defend Trump, with Texas Republican, Rep. Lance Gooden, introducing a resolution to remove Jerry Nadler from his chairmanship of the House Judiciary Committee.
The chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), has warned that backing the impeachment of Trump will cost Democrats their House majority in the 2020 election.
Nice try… but these scare tactics won’t work.
As more Americans learn of the unparalleled, blatant corruption of Trump and his administration, and the total, shameless enabling by the Republican Party, the public outcry for Trump’s removal will reach a crescendo that even lockstep Senate Republicans will only ignore at their political peril.
Buckle up, cowboys.
