“Sheer Political Madness”: Democrats Announce Two Articles of Impeachment
What we have all known was coming and that the Democrats have wanted since November 8, 2016, was officially announced on Tuesday. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), flanked by her impeachment-hungry cronies, Jerry Nadler (D-NY), Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), Richard Neal (D-MA), Maxine Waters (D-CA), Eliot Engel (D-NY) and Adam Schiff (D-CA), announced that House Democrats were issuing two formal articles of impeachment. One is for abuse of power and the other, obstruction of Congress.

During the announcement, the Democrats on stage took shots at President Trump. Nadler said during the announcement that President Trump damaged “our national security, undermining the integrity of the next election and violating his oath to the American people.” Rep. Nadler added, “We must be clear, no one, not even the president, is above the law.”
President Trump took to twitter to defend himself against the charges brought by the Democratic gang. The President said, as he has continually done since this investigation began that he has done nothing wrong. He also called the entire ultra-partisan process, “sheer political madness.” He also attacked Rep. Adam “Shifty” Schiff for committing fraud when he knowingly read fake transcripts of the President’s call on the record in congress.
To Impeach a President who has proven through results, including producing perhaps the strongest economy in our country’s history, to have one of the most successful presidencies ever, and most importantly, who has done NOTHING wrong, is sheer Political Madness! #2020Election

Shifty Schiff, a totally corrupt politician, made up a horrible and fraudulent statement, read it to Congress, and said those words came from me. He got caught, was very embarrassed, yet nothing happened to him for committing this fraud. He’ll eventually have to answer for this!

This announcement will set up vote in full House of Representatives to impeach President Trump sat some time next week or so. Because the House is controlled by Democrats, the measure is expected to pass. After that, the next step will be to move the proceedings to s Senate trail where the Democrats will have to present their “evidence” to the Republican-controlled Senate.
