Trump calls for Pelosi's impeachment ...

President Trump ‘went there’ in a late-night tweet by accusing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) of treason and calling for her impeachment.

It was completely unclear what Trump meant:



Fact check: There are some basic factual problems with those tweets — first off, members of Congress can't be impeached. And while Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) has said his committee counseled the whistleblower about how to file a complaint, there is no evidence the speaker was involved.

He really broke etiquette here by skipping the "I am rubber you are glue" defense, and went straight to the "I know you are, but what am I" defense.

I'm sure it will work just fine with his base who ere already simultaneously quoted as saying, "uh, uh, no he didn't."

Thinks he can impeach those who swore to uphold the Constitution that he has NEVER read? Boy is Trump in for a world of hurt as the list of Articles of Impeachment grow larger.

The list should be publicized. Not allow traitortrump to attack single individuals.
