BREAKING: House Dems expected to unveil two articles of impeachment against Trump -- abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, per multiple leadership sources and members close with the investigation.

What happened to bribery

Bribery is also abuse of power, asking a foreign country to interfere in US politics. It will be appropriate to know from Trump supporters to explain why Trump shouldn't be charged with obstruction of congress

Republicans have the same options they had on the day that Trump's conduct became public. They can call for Trump to step down. They can try to bargain for the president to avoid resignation/impeachment by accepting a penalty such as censure. They can refuse to endorse him for a second term.

Alternatively, they can pretend, as Trump and his spinners here do, that it’s perfectly fine to extort a foreign government with American aid, set up a parallel State Dept headed by his personal lawyer Giuliani and try to obtain or create dirt on a political opponent.

Judging from the initial reaction of a good many Republicans, the last option does not necessarily appear viable. Hence, you can understand the discomfort of Republicans, who for the first time in the Trump presidency might be required to show some spine.

In other words, after months of investigations and ridiculous allegations, the Democrats will only attempt to put forward 2 weak articles of impeachment which do not include bribery, high crimes and misdemeanours nor obstruction of justice.

They've gone back to the Mueller Investigation Hoax of alleged Trump-Russia Collusion? The very hoax that blew up on their faces is what they have resorted to? Hahahaha

Did you know that way long before Then President-Elect Trump took the oath of Office, the Dems and the Media had been ringing the bells of Impeachment? And that shortly after Trump became the President the ringing bells got louder? If you are clamouring for someone to be impeached before the person even takes the oath of office then the Impeachment becomes Political not based on facts or any Crime committed. Just a political Vendetta for losing an election. Think about this.

BREAKING: DOJ Inspector General finds that the FBI made 17 "significant inaccuracies and omissions" in the FISA applications to spy on Trump campaign member
@carterwpage
.

The FBI's deceptive manipulations made the evidence appear "stronger than was actually the case."

Some key parts of the 434 page report by the Office of Inspector General:

Christopher Steele and Ivanka Trump had been friends for over 7 years.

Now we know there are pro-trump FBI agents ----they were leaking information to Rudy Guilliani from the NYC office.

We know that contrary to Trump's paranoia there was no political bias by the FBI, but the investigation was influenced by Steele Dossier.

We also know contrary to Trump there was no attempt to overthrow his government.

Of course we can be certain that multiple syncophants will be braying about errors in the OIG report (already AG Barr had made a statement, still waiting for Sean Hannity of FoxNews and Rudy Guilliani).

We also can be certain Trump supporters will not acknowledge any of the facts that prove once again that Trump is a compulsive liar.

Bottom line... "In no uncertain words, the inspector general says there was no political conspiracy to undermine Trump's 2016 campaign." There was, however, an active conspiracy by the Trump campaign to invite foreign interference in our election, which has been repeated in the Ukraine scandal.

Finally the key take away is that President Trump is full of paranoid schizophrenics and the mental health problems on his supporters on the far- right are greater than anyone ever suspected.

Fox cancels interview with James Comey, after the IG report clears him of everything various Fox hosts have accused him of.

“I offered to go on Fox & Friends which I gather is a very important program for supporters of the President. And they agreed last night to book me at 8:00 tomorrow. I figured I can’t change the minds of Fox viewers about President Trump but I can change their minds, I hope, about the FBI by giving them actual facts. Then after the report came out they canceled my appearance. They must’ve read the report.” – Former FBI director James Comey.

OIG report - Some FBI agents actually celebrated Trump win

Counter to what Trump, Fox News and Qanon nutbags claimed, texts revealed some FBI agents being happy Trump won.

Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report, which examined the conduct of the FBI toward President Donald Trump’s campaign, uncovered text messages from agents celebrating Trump’s 2016 victory.

The report goes on to detail in footnotes that there were also FBI agents who texted about their support for Trump on page 339, where it is also recorded that a supervisory special agent (SSA) praised the election of Trump and compared it to “watching a Superbowl comeback.”

Did Christopher Steele 'smash' Ivanka Trump, the president daughter?

The former British spy who authored several reports alleging links between Russia and President Trump’s 2016 campaign had been a personal friend of Trump’s daughter Ivanka, a relationship that he said made him “favorably disposed” to the Trump family.

The previously unknown friendship between former intelligence officer Christopher Steele and Ivanka Trump was alluded to in a new report released Monday by the Justice Department’s inspector general, which said Steele had “been friendly” with a Trump family member, a relationship he described as “personal.”

Steele told investigators he had visited the Trump family member at Trump Tower in New York and had once gifted the person a family tartan from Scotland.

A person familiar with Steele’s business Orbis confirmed that the family member was Ivanka Trump.

After first meeting in 2007, they emailed over the years, the person said. Between 2010 and 2012, Steele discussed with Ivanka Trump the possibility that the Trump Organization might hire his business to assist with projects in Russia and China. They remained friends through 2015, the person said.

Lol...

They have every right to call for impeachment right from day one. Trump invited Russia to interfere in the 2016 elections, he called on Russia to hack Hillary's email right before every one in a rally. 5 hours later, that happened, Trump cheated in 2016, that will not happen in 2020, he has be soliciting Ukraine and is still openly doing it, feeling like Mafia Don or a King and feeling he is invincible and wanting the American people to believe and accept this is absolutely normal. Off course he is exploiting his base, why do u think he likes the poorly educated . Trump will pay for his actions and absolutely nothing u can do about it. He had every thing to defend himself....but he chose not to, what does that tell u? Instead he keeps attacking the process, shifting goal posts every now and then. First he wanted a formal vote, he got that, he wanted an open hearing he got that, then started whining again. All the lies against FBI and all his conspiracy theories are being found out to be false. U have the absolute right to keep supporting whatever u like...

The IG report states:

Foreign agent Christopher Steele's fake dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton's campaign "played a central and essential role in" the Obama-Biden FBI obtaining "FISA surveillance targeting" Trump campaign staffer Carter Page

How far Ivanka and Steele?

coluka:
The IG report shows that:

An FBI lawyer who hated President Trump doctored a document so that it "inaccurately stated" that Trump campaign staffer Carter Page had NOT previously helped another U.S. government agency.

This false information was then presented to the FISA court.

the report also showed that the author of the Steele dossier was a close friend of ivanka trump and if anything was actually disposed to be favourable to the trumps, did you miss that part?

coluka:
IG report:

"In the preparation of the FISA applications to surveil Carter Page, the Crossfire Hurricane team failed to comply with FBI policies, and in so doing fell short of what is rightfully expected from ... [an] agency entrusted with such an intrusive surveillance tool."

you are highlighting mistakes made during the investigation but refusing to acknowledge that the report says the investigation was valid, was not a hoax and was also apolitical so no deep state hullabaloo, also you forgot to mention that the report says the FBI would have been derelict in their duty not to carry it out, did you miss those little pearls too?

coluka:
Two biggest IG takeaways so far:
--The FBI deceived the FISA court. The information about what it presented and what it excluded in Page application is damning.

--IG destroys Steele dossier as a work of fantasy.

so when is trump going to apologize for demonizing and character assassinating FBI officials doing their patriotic duties?

He missed that part too..Trumpists live in the world of alternative reality.Lies and Propaganda..They dont bother about the facts..They just believe only what Trump disses to them

Democrats Articles of Impeachment released. And that is the most hilarious accusation I have ever read...accusing President Trump of soliciting Ukraine to interfere in 2020 Election? O Boy! You can't make this up?! Well, the conclusion is that it will be a ROAD THAT LEADS TO NOWHERE. #SenateTrials

Its ok to support who ever u want to...
But do that with some sense of decency, and wisdom.
You abuse Nigerian politicians for corruption and people like u will be quick to compare Nigeria with US in every little matters. The president solicited Ukraine to do a dirty job for him to help is re-election bid just like he asked Russia to interfere in 2016 which every intelligence agency concluded that they indeed interfered in the elections. He got away with it before, now he thinks he is untouchable and is trying to make it look normal to ask foriegn nations to investigate political rivals. He had no issues with "corruption" in Ukraine in 2017 and 2018 but suddenly has concerns in 2019 when Joe Biden announced is interest in 2020 elections. Six of his associates have been convicted of various crimes, he recently agreed to pay 2million dollars stolen from charity meant for veterans, his lawyer is actively still doing what he is being impeached for, currently in Ukraine meeting with corrupt officials who have links to KGB. His Chief of Staff told Americans to get over it cos it get done all the time. He cared so.much about corruption that he never mentions it, he cares so much about corruption and wouldn't meet the newly elected president of Ukraine but he has met Putin of Russia 16 times since he got elected with Rusia's help and today who did he meet in the Oval office?
Republicans and people like u can keep deflecting these facts, and bringing up dumb excuses and defenses. He had every opportunity to clear himself if he wasn't guilty, but he chickened away, and told every other person who could clear him to also defile lawful subpoenas, The dumbness is asking Adam or Hunter to come testify shows how dumb Republicans and their supporters are, Trump has made that party look like a party of clowns. This is an impeachment inquiry about Trump asking a foriegn nation to interfere in our elections, what that F* as Hunter testifying got to do with that. If u had a problem with Hunter, why not use the channels laid out for investigating that, rather than trying to spin the inquiry like its about Joe or Hunter Biden, or ask a foriegn country to help you through your personal lawyer. U can choose to remain shameless, that's on you!

Dude you take these clowns way very seriously, they are all locked down in Nigeria and ain't gat no skin in the fight. Aside that brain dead clown in Texas, no one living in the US of A on this thread is supporting that amoral, corrupt and racist POS.

Andrew Yang becomes the 7th candidate to qualify for the December 19 debate. Kamala Harris had earlier qualified, but since she dropped out from the race, its very likely that there would be only 7 candidates on the debate stage.

Trump has started attacking his own FBI director Wray, just because the FBI director took umbrage to the labeling of the FBI as part of the fictional deep state. Now right-wing nuts are urging him to fire the FBI director. He better not !

Conservatives don't know how to think. They are motivated reasoners, not critical thinkers. They are motivated into proving themselves right, not to the truth. Whenever the facts prove them wrong, do they change their mind or update their theory/truth about how the world works? No. That's what scientists do. Not conservatives. They just claim the facts are lies and part of yet another conspiracy theory.

They want you to believe that the only people you can trust with the truth are right-wing political pundits. According to them, there is no such thing as a third party source with facts. Like I said, as soon as third party facts prove them wrong, conservatives claim the facts are lies and part of yet another conspiracy theory: the Deep State, the liberal media, the liberal professors, the liberal CIA, the liberal FBI, the liberal scientists, the liberal schools, the liberal universities, the liberal Census, the liberal Labor Department, and even the liberal corporations.

We are watching.

Republicans are shitting themselves because they know they can't beat trump in next election. Nancy Pelosi my end up losing her seat if they fail to impeach trump. This will garner him sympathy votes. I smell a clean sweep for trump next yr. The biggest in American history both in electoral college and popular votes.

No American president has been removed from office instead it will go on and on in the judiciary ( like Andrew Johnson). Whoever controls the senate controls the impeachment. Trump maybe impeached but will never be removed from office.

The only person to resign is the one who was caught trying to extort at the same time trying to invite foriegn government to interfere in the united states election.
The only person that needs to step down is the who could have allowed officials testify to exonerate him but ordered them not to.
The only person that needs to step down is the one who could have released documents to show is innocence but released zero documents.
This above is exactly how to prove your innocence!
Like i said, the * will forever remain on his name as thr 3rd President to be impeached.
If the Senate like, they can choose to be shameless like u, but they have to right to accuse any other country of corruption cos we have corruption personified occupying the white house.

you have no argument at all.. Why would he have to release his documents when the democrats hasn't released their own evidence?
Why would he release officials when the stupid democrats refused to release the supposed whitsle blower?
If he was really caught then the democrats should provide proof..
The president of Ukraine has denied being pressured to investigate biden's son.
The demo_rats has never hidden their dislike for trump even before taking the oat of office. They are just multi faceted, witch hunting, double faced hypocrites.
Lot of them will lose their seat during the next elections.
So I'm being shameless for standing for equity but your demo rats are not for supporting the worst president in US history in Obama?
Ad for Biden, he better pray to get the presidential tickets after this or else...
