McConnell Now Privately Saying He Is Happy Trump Is Being Impeached – However Refuses to Name Senate Again for Vote: NYT

While crouching, some in gas masks, as armed and violent pro-Trump insurgents overtook the U.S. Capitol, Democratic lawmakers decided to draft new articles to indict President Donald Trump again.

“Impeachment procedures have already been worked out and are ready to be implemented. They were prepared and completed by [Ilhan Omar] while it was extracted to a safe place and members sign up, ”Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Thursday afternoon.

“If the 25th amendment is not put forward today, Congress must meet immediately on impeachment and deportation,” she said, adding, “we don’t have the luxury of time.”

In addition to Rep. Omar, the original sponsor, and AOC, there are at least 11 other Democratic members of Congress who are official co-sponsors. Among them are the representatives David Cicilline, Ted Lieu, Al Green, Hank Johnson, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Vicente Gonzalez, Jamal Bowman, Mondaire Jones, Veronica Escobar and Cori Bush.

“I invite you to join me in presenting a resolution on the indictment of Donald John Trump, the President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors,” says an attached letter, “Dear colleague”. “Once again, Trump has violated his constitutional oath to faithfully carry out the office of President of the United States and to uphold, protect and defend the United States Constitution to the best of his ability.”

“Every hour that Donald Trump stays in office, our country, our democracy and our national security remain in danger. Congress must take immediate action to protect the people of this country and set a precedent that such behavior cannot be tolerated. “
