I would argue that Donald Trump has been trying to impeach himself since Day One.
He was showing his scofflaw tactics even before he was inaugurated. His disregard for the Constitution and the law were on full display for all to see.
When he hired Paul Manafort, red flags went up all over. When he fired James Comey and publicly attacked the FBI and the "deep state", he was well on his way to impeaching himself. In fact, Nancy Pelosi once stated that Donald Trump would "self-impeach".
Mr Trump truly believed that Article II permitted him to do whatever he wanted, without any guidelines or rules of law.
Now, the Republicans are accusing the Democrats of wanting to impeach Donald Trump since Day One. It's all about politics because they lost the election in 2016, they say.
The truth of the matter is that the Republicans controlled the House, Senate, and the White House up to March of this year, when the Democrats took control of the House, after Trump's government shutdown.
But, that never slowed down Mr Trump. He continued his reckless and lawless ways and now he is going to be impeached.
It's about time.
