Progressives to Pelosi as Trump lawlessness mounts:'Stop playing craven political games' and impeach

snip of article:

Pressure on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to drop her longstanding opposition to impeachment has reached new heights following reports that President Donald Trump asked Ukraine’s leader to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, a move that appears to be at the heart of an urgent whistleblower complaint Trump’s intelligence chief is refusing to turn over to Congress.

Progressive groups and members of Pelosi’s House Democratic caucus have aired their frustrations with the Speaker in public in since the new reports of Trump’s latest potential crime, which adds to a mountainous list of transgressions that impeachment supporters say is more than enough to remove the president from office.

“At this point, the bigger national scandal isn’t the president’s lawbreaking behavior—it is the Democratic Party’s refusal to impeach him for it,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) tweeted late Saturday. “It is one thing for a sitting president to break the law. It’s another to let him.”


This just can't wait until November 2020. No way. We won't have democracy any longer.

To turn over the whistle-blower report. I would think failure to comply will be the green light for impeachment
