Cory Booker raises impeachment talk against Trump
Source: Philly
WASHINGTON Sen. Cory A. Booker is invoking the I-word impeachment.
The New Jersey Democrat, a potential presidential candidate who just 10 days ago urged caution on talk of impeaching President Trump, raised the prospect Wednesday morning in a message to his 3.1 million Twitter followers.
When the truth comes out (and it will) & if the president has committed crimes, we (the people) will fight and win in the battle to impeach, Booker tweeted.

But others on the left have warned against getting ahead of the facts. I dont think you want to make that leap to impeachment until you follow a path which leads us there, Sen. Bernie Sanders (Ind., Vt.), yet another potential 2020 candidate, recently said at a CNN forum. Maybe it will, maybe it wont, but Im not there at this point.

Today Congress is a FAR cry from the Watergate-era body the nation relied on at the time. With today's congresscritters, it would be as if Nixon had 200+ Haldemans in the House, and close to 50 Erlichmans in the Senate (with the few Republicans besides those mostly just sitting on the fence).

(958 posts)The good Senator from New Jersey knows quite well that impeachment must start in the House. I am glad to know we have Senators that will vote to impeach, but they are limited until the House initiates proceedings. Now if we could just get Representative Al Green and Maxine Waters to bring impeachment to the floor of the House, then we would have something going.

(17,390 posts)...talking point that top Dems like Booker are secretly Trump supporters. Oh, and the Republican repeal of the ACA is s good thing because This will lead to single payer.
Just because Jill Stein says it doesn't make it true.
