A question about the impeachment of Trump

[PJMcK]

There were three Articles of Impeachment against Nixon: obstruction of justice, violating the Constitutional rights of citizens and failure to produce subpoenaed materials.

Against President Clinton, there were two Articles of Impeachment: perjury in Grand Jury testimony and obstruction of justice.

For the moment, at least, it appears that the only issue Speaker Pelosi is bringing to the table is the whistleblower complaint about Trump's strong-arming the Ukrainian president.

Since there are many other crimes that Trump has committed, will any of those issues make it into the debate and any possible Articles of Impeachment?

Thanks, in advance.

1. Yes,

much of which is enumerated here:

2. Yeah, I saw that the other day

But will the Speaker have the will to open the debate to other possible crimes?

The man is such a slimy crook! It eludes me how anyone can take him seriously.

3. I suspect, as she's opened the door, EVERYTHING's possible;

she'll give the details over to a committee of some kind, and go with it's recommendations.

4. to quote rumsfeld: "Go massive. "Sweep it all up. Things related and not".

5. I like it!

The sentiment, not the source.

In Trump's case, we have the knowns, the unknowns, the known-unknowns and probably the unknown-unknowns.

It makes my head hurt.

6. I hope she cites every last violation.
