“The President must be held accountable. No one is above the law” — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 9-24-2019
Huge news from Speaker Nancy Pelosi: “Today, I’m announcing the House of Representatives moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry.”
She cites “the president’s betrayal of his oath of office, betrayal of our national security and betrayal of the integrity of our elections.”
What exactly does this mean?
What happens right now?
Then what happens after that?
Does this lead to Trump’s removal from office?
Nobody knows yet.
But Pelosi isn’t standing in the way of it anymore.
The President freaked out on Twitter, of course.
Observations and reactions from reporters and others, below.
Wow, @HeidiNBC reporting that Trump called Pelosi today and asked “if they could work something out on this whole whistleblower thing.”

2020 is likely to be one of the craziest years in American history. It is probable that Donald Trump will be put on trial in the US Senate during his re-election campaign—and unfortunately his authoritarian impulses emerge most when he is cornered. This is going to be nuts.

Have been asking every Dem lawmaker what this latest announcement signifies or what ‘impeachment inquiry’ means precisely
None have consistent answers on what actions will be taken next– other than the fact that Pelosi has now relinquished her objections to impeachment

Impact of impeachment proceedings on foreign policy with an embattled,angry and distracted President could be scary. Nixon actually managed during Watergate quite productively. But then Nixon had Kissinger. And Pompeo’s no Kissinger.

In the past, subjects of impeachment inquiries have used press secretaries/surrogates to issue statements instead of weighing in personally immediately. Another way Twitter has changed presidential communication

These GOP senators have not (will not?) read whistleblower complaint on Trump
We already know most Republicans in the Senate are Trump ride-or-die toadies who would eat their own children if it made Orange Hitler smile. Well, today, on the day an anonymous whistleblower’s complaint threatens to topple the presidency, is just like any other day on the GOP side of the Senate.
