House Dems Rebuff Calls to Start Trump Impeachment Process<\/b>
\nDemocrats in the House of Representatives are pushing back against some lawmakers who have broached the idea of starting the impeachment process against President Donald Trump.
\u00ab\u00a0We have to find out what the facts are, \u00a0\u00bb Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said, according to The Hill.
\u00ab\u00a0But I don’t want to leap to any conclusions about what we’ll ultimately find or what the consequences should be, \u00a0\u00bb Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said, according to The Hill.
Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-Calif., said Schiff’s viewpoint is the \u00ab\u00a0overwhelming sentiment\u00a0\u00bb of Democrats.
\u00ab\u00a0A majority of the (Democratic) Caucus is of the belief that we ought to allow the investigation to continue to its logical conclusion before making any determination, \u00a0\u00bb Sanchez said in The Hill’s report.
\u00ab\u00a0I have not even thought about it, \u00a0\u00bb Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., told The Hill.
Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Md., agreed.
\u00ab\u00a0We need to make sure we get the facts and the elements of what we have to prove. And we’re not there yet.\u00a0\u00bb
Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, said Tuesday that he plans to draft articles of impeachment against Trump, NBC News reported.
Premature calls to impeach Trump would benefit the president, according to Jane Chong, writing Monday in The Washington Post .
\u00ab\u00a0Where its results are uncertain, such an effort could take a viable tool off the table for future crises and risk our national security as well, \u00a0\u00bb Chong wrote.<\/p>\n
