If Americans give the House of Representatives back to the Democratic Party this November, one of first things that will happen is the impeachment of President Trump, Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) said Tuesday.
“There’s a good likelihood there will be articles of impeachment” brought against Trump, Rep. Green said. “Here is a point that I think is salient, and one that ought to be referenced. Every member of the House is accorded the opportunity to bring up impeachment. This is not something the Constitution has bestowed upon leadership. It’s something every member has the right and privilege of doing.”
Rep. Green, who has been one of the most vocal proponents of impeaching Trump, made the comments during an appearance on CSPAN.

But even in the most optimistic scenario, the result will be a verdict of aquittal in the Senate. Trump will boast that he was falsely accused and beat the rap. Twenty years ago the Republicans impeached Clinton for behavior that was clearly illegal and immoral, but not a “high crime”, and the Senate aquitted, and in the Congressional election in 1998 the Republicans suffered for having wasting everyone’s time bringing a case that resulted in an aquittal. Indeed, getting impeached for political incorrectness, and the aquitted, may be Trump’s strategy for re-election.
