"I strongly believe that it is long past due that we begin impeachment proceedings against this President," Harris said. "He's pressured a foreign leader, the Ukraine President, to dig up dirt on a political opponent, in the 2020 presidential election. He urged a foreign country to attack our democracy in the 2016 presidential election. He gave classified information to Russian officials in May of 2017."

Harris added that Trump "undercut the American intelligence community" in its efforts to deal with North Korea and the American student, Otto F. Warmbier, who was tortured and killed. On her list, she also referenced the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi, the Saudi dissident and journalist who wrote for the Washington Post, stating that Trump "prefers to take the word of Saudi Prince over the word of the American intelligence community" while adding he also prefers "taking the word of the Russian President over the word of the American intelligence community when it came to the interference in the 2016 election."

"He had a national security adviser who secretly worked as a foreign lobbyist and, of course, that was Flynn," Harris continued referring to Michael Flynn, Trump's first national security adviser. "He consistently props up murderous dictators, and again that would be Kim Jong Un, it would be the President of Russia. He has obstructed justice in the investigation into his presidential campaign. And we know that because the Mueller report tells us so -- and gives us 10 examples of just that. He has violated federal law by directing his lawyer to pay $280,000 in hush money to cover up two apparent extramarital affairs -- of course that's the Stormy Daniels case."

"It is time that Donald Trump be held accountable for his behaviors that have been essentially against the best interest of the American people and against the best interest of America's democracy," she said.

She knows what trump has done, and she knows he is corrupt as hell. I am glad she put this out.

4. This was an interview...I said no other candidates to my knowledge had addressed this in a s

speech like Biden...did and thus far I haven't seen any that did.

5. She still spoke out

And she treated as a "serious" issue. Whats the difference? She also did it last night.

9. Yes it does

10. This was at the New Hampshire Democratic Party convention...not a speech called for by Sen. Harris.

It is not the same thing as what Biden did today. I personally am not for impeachment...I worry we impeach Trump into a second term.

12. A speech is a speech

she addressed the issue, just like Biden did, and Biden's speech was about "impeaching" trump. She nailed it with a whole list of reasons, what more could you ask for?
