Obstruction, Corruption and Tyranny: It's Time for Impeachment Hearings

 

Activist - Donald Trump is determined to block release of the full Mueller Report, despite overwhelming support from the American people and repeated requests from Congressional Democrats. As a result, Americans may never be able to judge for ourselves whether Trump and/or his campaign colluded with the Russians to steal emails from the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. Instead, we are being manipulated by Trump's handpicked Attorney General William Barr, who opposed any investigation of Trump's crimes. Collusion with a foreign adversary would be an act of treason - one of the most severe crimes in U.S. law and definite grounds for impeachment. But treason is not the only grounds for impeachment - far from it. The Constitution specifies: "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." And that's why Rep. Rashida Tlaib has introduced a resolution calling on the House Committee on the Judiciary to start an official impeachment investigation into the Trump administration. Whether it's declaring a fake national emergency in order to commit an unconstitutional power grab, attempting to ban an entire religion from our country, separating and indefinitely detaining immigrant families, undermining our democracy to line his pockets, or obstructing justice, it's clear that there are enough grounds for the House of Representatives to move forward with impeachment proceedings. But our representatives won't act unless we force them to. Tell the House of Representatives: Start an impeachment investigation into the Trump administration now. Click here to sign the petition. The House Committee on the Judiciary has a responsibility to open an investigation into whether Trump and his businesses: Violated the Foreign Emoluments Clause by accepting payments, regulatory approval, or other forms of direct and indirect financial benefits from foreign governments. Corrupted our political process and defrauded the United States by directing Michael Cohen to make illegal payments to interfere and affect the 2016 presidential election. Committed actions to obstruct the investigation led by the special counsel. Every member of the House of Representative must stand with Rep. Tlaib as she takes bold moral action and back the resolution – but many won't act unless there is massive pressure to do so. Only Congress has the constitutional authority to hold Trump accountable and defend our democracy. It's time it stops outsourcing its power and opens an impeachment investigation into the Trump administration now. Tell the House of Representatives: Start an impeachment investigation into the Trump administration now. Click here to sign the petition: Thanks for all you do, Bob Fertik
