The House needs to start impeachment NOW!

There has NEVER been a greater abuse of power. To not start impeachment renders the legislative branch, checks and balances, and the Constitution itself USELESS!...nulled and voided

Nancy, have the Articles of Impeachment drafted by tomorrow.

However, that does not look like it's going to do anything in time. We are getting to a threshold here.

I am trying to find out who ordered the military show of force, (a strategical tactic) by the Blackhawk Helicopter tonight in the Chinatown District in DC. I know of no general order for military intervention and we are then in the Posse Comitatus Act zone. It certainly broke FAA standards and put civilians in danger.

Bunker Bitch ordered it:

The nation’s capital, roiled by protest, is the one jurisdiction where the Army can deploy without needing approval from a governor. So President Trump, declaring that “the destruction of peaceful life and the spilling of blood is against humanity and God,” ordered the Army to deploy an active-duty military police battalion for Washington, Defense Department officials said Monday.

Could those orders be made on any activity. We’re lives at immediate risk when they acted? Most importantly, would it not be clear to the House that this was a photo op? That easily could be presented as abuse of power.

Impeachment will mean nothing at this point. It will be seen as political, it will make the Democrats look impotent, and until the Senate changes hands, will accomplish nothing.
