House Judiciary Committee Recommends Impeachment of Donald Trump

On Friday the 13th of December, the House Judiciary Committee approved two articles of impeachment against Donald Trump. After a 14-hour hearing, the committee voted 23-17, along party lines, to recommend to the House of Representatives that Trump be impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

Article I: Abuse of Power

Article I charges: “Using the high powers of his office, President Trump solicited the interference of a foreign government” in the 2020 presidential election. Trump’s “scheme or course of conduct” involved soliciting the Ukrainian government “to publicly announce investigations” into political opponent Joe Biden and “a discredited theory promoted by Russia that Ukraine – rather than Russia – interfered” in the 2016 presidential election.

Article II: Obstruction of Congress

The Constitution grants the House of Representatives the “sole Power of Impeachment.” Article II states that Trump “directed the unprecedented, categorical, and indiscriminate defiance of subpoenas” issued by the House. As a result, “nine Administration officials defied subpoenas for testimony.” Not one subpoenaed document was provided to the House committees conducting the impeachment inquiry.

GOP Judiciary Committee Members Deny the Overwhelming Evidence

Trump ordered all current and former senior advisers to defy congressional subpoenas, asserting that they would enjoy “absolute immunity” from criminal or civil liability. That theory was created by the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel. It has never been recognized by any constitution, statute or court.AMIBC® - VOTE! BE COUNTED! BE HEARD!
