Al Green says he'll present articles of impeachment against Trump in next 30 days

The Hill

Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) said he will bring articles of impeachment against President Trump in the next 30 days, telling protestors at an anti-Trump rally in Washington that he does not “deserve” to hold the executive office.

“We need a Senate that will convict him this time, and I want you to know, from my heart, from my heart, I understand that he is a Goliath. He is a Goliath. He has control of the generals in the military. He has control of the Justice Department. He has control of the Republican Party, but my friends, my friends, for every Goliath, there is a David,” Green said while addressing demonstrators at D.C.’s “Hands Off!” rally on Saturday.

“And I want you to know, Mr. President, this David is going to bring articles of impeachment against you within the next 30 days. Within the next 30 days, I’m bringing articles of impeachment. I’m coming for you. Mr. President, this David is coming for you,” the Texas Democrat said.

Green, who vowed to bring articles of impeachment against Trump roughly two months ago, argued that Trump does not “deserve the office” he holds.

1) It is becoming old news. It is going to become a habit for the opposing party in Congress to introduce articles of impeachment. The more you do it, the more ordinary it becomes.
2) Won’t go anywhere.
3) I think the focus should be on the impact of the administration’s policies. Propose alternatives.

And we can make it happen. If you have a Democratic Rep, take a few minutes to call EVERY SINGLE DAY until they commit to co-sign. And if they do commit, POST IT HERE so we can thank them for doing their job!!

Don't ACCEPT the typical Democratic rationalization: "Can Win, Won't Fight."

Win or Lose doesn't matter. We need to be building NOW for impeachment if it's gonna happen after the midterms.

Impeachment is the constitutional solution to a lawless president. And the power to bring articles is with the House because that is the body closest to We the People.

We CAN and MUST build support for it.
