Trump acquittal to spur more House Democratic investigations

President Trump's looming acquittal in his Senate trial doesn't mean he'll be off the hook in the Democrat-held House that impeached him.

If anything, say House Democratic lawmakers, investigations are likely to ramp up in the nine months before Election Day. That means the Senate impeachment acquittal set to happen Wednesday concerning charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress related to the Ukraine military aid affair will be just a midpoint rather than an end of clashes between the Democratic House majority that took power in January 2019 and the Trump White House.

The impeachment trial of Trump, 73, is set to end Wednesday. The only lingering question in its outcome is whether any Republican senators will defect and vote to convict Trump. Two Republican senators bucked their party to vote for witnesses in the trial — Susan Collins of Maine and Mitt Romney of Utah.

I hope something spurs some investigations, some charges, and some arrests. About a third of Congress Democrats should be under some kind of charges right now. It's time it starts and gets done.

I am a registered Democrat. I am ashamed and disappointed by the actions and tenor of my party’s house representatives as a collective. The Senate will rule on impeachment and it should be over. The House leaders rushed and half-arsed their part of the process for what they hoped would be political gain. That is supported by evidence. I am offended that my party thinks I’m too stupid to elect a president and that they should intercede. Get over it and get back to work.

Amen to that 10:20AM. I absolutely hate when the get to the podium and call Trump and his administration corrupt. They, themselves, need to take a hard, long look in the mirror.
