Key Democrat: House needs to 'keep this simple' in crafting impeachment articles by Isikoff
WASHINGTON — House investigators are planning a detailed report on President Trump’s Ukraine dealings after public testimony ends next week, setting the stage for narrowly crafted articles of impeachment that will likely be entirely focused on the White House “pressure campaign” to demand investigations of Trump’s political rivals and not other allegations of presidential misconduct, a key House member tells Yahoo News.
“If we investigated every potentially impeachable act that President Trump has committed,” he added, “we’d be here past his first term.” But Malinowski, a former top State Department official and a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, along with a growing number of Democrats, has concluded that any move to expand the scope of impeachment will only backfire and undercut efforts to win over independent voters and perhaps even a few Republicans whose support is essential for the final vote to have any claim of bipartisanship.
“I’ve spoken to Republicans here who’ve told me privately, ‘Don’t interpret my vote on that procedural resolution on the process as necessarily a vote against impeachment. We haven’t made up our minds,’” said Malinowski. He said he doesn’t “expect a lot of them to be with us, but I’ve been told privately that some are genuinely troubled by what they heard.
