Harvard Constitutional Scholar Calls For Trump Impeachment ProbeThe authoritarian president interfered with an investigation involving national security, writes Laurence Tribe.

A top Harvard constitutional law professor is calling for an impeachment investigation into Donald Trump for obstruction of justice, branding the presidents firing of FBI Director James Comey as an obvious effort to interfere with a probe involving national security.
To wait for the results of the multiple investigations underway is to risk tying our nations fate to the whims of an authoritarian leader, Professor Laurence Tribe wrote in an opinion piece in The Washington Post on Saturday. Tribe added that Trumps conduct strongly suggests that he poses a danger to our system of government.
After Comeys firing last week, Tribe joined the legal advisory board of Impeach Trump Now, a campaign pushing for an impeachment probe into the president.
It is now up to Congress to save the Constitution by initiating impeachment proceedings, Tribe said in a statement Friday when he joined the board. Trump cant say Youre fired to the House of Representatives.
