The House Intelligence Committee’s Impeachment Inquiry Report was published today, and handed to the Judiciary Committee. President-That-Never-Should-Have-Been-President Trump is surely on his way to impeachment by the House of Representatives.
The only remaining guessing games towards that state of affairs are:
1. How many articles of impeachment will be put forth by the Judiciary Committee, and
2. When the House will vote on those articles (the plan is to do that before the year is out).
Here is the index of the Impeachment Inquiry Report. It’s high crimes and misdemeanors, every step of the way.
