Look, Trump “Won” The Mueller Report; He Might Yet “Win” His Impeachment
But for one day at least, it sure didn’t seem that way
This dramatic and historic day culminated with an announcement by Speaker Nancy Pelosi: the House will begin impeachment proceedings. Pelosi saying Trump’s demonstrated:
“Betrayal of his oath of office, betrayal of our national security, and betrayal of the integrity of our elections….The actions taken to date by the President have seriously violated the Constitution.”
Here’s Pelosi’s entire announcement, which is pretty brief (click on the photo to watch):
That doesn’t mean the House is going to vote tomorrow, or even sometime soon. Just that there’s an impeachment inquiry now open, so she’s got the ball rolling.
And over in the Senate, the Intelligence Committee seems to be laying the groundwork to interview the whistleblower who first brought Trump’s meddling to the attention of the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, and the Acting Director of National Intelligence. Only to be stopped dead in their tracks by the Justice Department.
