Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Resolved, That Donald John Trump, President of the United States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors and that the following article of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate:Article of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people of the United States of America, against Donald John Trump, President of the United States of America, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for high crimes and misdemeanors.
ARTICLE I: INCITEMENT OF INSURRECTION
The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives “shall have the sole Power of Impeachment” and that the President “shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors”.
Further, section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution prohibits any person who has “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the United States from “hold[ing] any office … under the United States”. In his conduct while President of the United States—and in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed—Donald John Trump engaged in high Crimes and Misdemeanors by inciting violence against the Government of the United States, in that:
On January 6, 2021, pursuant to the 12th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, the Vice President of the United States, the House of Representatives, and the Senate met at the United States Capitol for a Joint Session of Congress to count the votes of the Electoral College. In the months preceding the Joint Session, President Trump repeatedly issued false statements asserting that the Presidential election results were the product of widespread fraud and should not be accepted by the American people or certified by State or Federal officials. Shortly before the Joint Session commenced, President Trump, addressed a crowd at the Ellipse in Washington, DC. There, he reiterated false claims that “we won this election, and we won it by a landslide”.
He also willfully made statements that, in context, encouraged—and foreseeably resulted in—lawless action at the Capitol, such as: “if you don’t fight like hell you’re not going to have a country anymore”. Thus incited by President Trump, members of the crowd he had addressed, in an attempt to, among other objectives, interfere with the Joint Session’s solemn constitutional duty to certify the results of the 2020 Presidential election, unlawfully breached and vandalized the Capitol, injured and killed law enforcement personnel, menaced Members of Congress, the Vice President, and Congressional personnel, and engaged in other violent, deadly, destructive, and seditious acts.
President Trump’s conduct on January 6, 2021, followed his prior efforts to subvert and obstruct the certification of the results of the 2020 Presidential election. Those prior efforts included a phone call on January 2, 2021, during which President Trump urged the secretary of state of Georgia, Brad Raffensperger, to “find” enough votes to overturn the Georgia Presidential election results and threatened Secretary Raffensperger if he failed to do so.
In all this, President Trump gravely endangered the security of the United States and its institutions of Government. He threatened the integrity of the democratic system, interfered with the peaceful transition of power, and imperiled a coequal branch of Government. He thereby betrayed his trust as President, to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.
Wherefore, Donald John Trump, by such conduct, has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to national security, democracy, and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with self-governance and the rule of law. Donald John Trump thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.

Here are the ONLY GOP Republican members of Congress who voted to impeach Donald J Trump for his seditious acts against the United States.
Read the full article here at NPR by Domenico Montanaro
1. Rep. Liz Cheney, Wyoming's at-large district: Trump won Wyoming 70% to 27%, and she's the third-ranking leader in the House. So for her not just to vote in favor of impeachment but also issue a stinging rebuke is quite the step. Cheney was unequivocal in her statement, saying Trump "summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack." She called what Trump did the "greatest betrayal" of a U.S. president ever.
2. Rep. Tom Rice, South Carolina's 7th Congressional District: This is one no one saw coming. The congressman, who has served since 2013, comes from a pretty pro-Trump district (Trump won it 59% to 40%), and there was no indication he would do so beforehand. Even during his vote, Twitter was alight with speculation that Rice had cast the wrong vote. Turns out, he cast it exactly as he wanted to. Later Wednesday, Rice explained: "I have backed this President through thick and thin for four years. I campaigned for him and voted for him twice. But, this utter failure is inexcusable." 3. Rep. Dan Newhouse, Washington's 4th: Trump won this central Washington state district by a handy margin, 58% to 40%. But for Newhouse, who has served since 2015 and has not been a prominent member, it was clear: "The mob was inflamed by the language and misinformation of the President of the United States. ... A vote against impeachment is a vote to validate unacceptable violence" and "to condone President Trump's inaction."
4. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, Illinois' 16th: Kinzinger's decision was probably the least surprising on this list. Despite coming from a district Trump won 57% to 41%, the Air Force veteran has been outspoken recently against Trump's behavior. He said Trump "incited this insurrection" and "if these actions — the Article II branch inciting a deadly insurrection against the Article I branch — are not worthy of impeachment, then what is an impeachable offense?"
5. Rep. Anthony Gonzalez, Ohio's 16th: Gonzalez, a former NFL wide receiver, is in his second term in Congress. Trump won his district by 15 points, but Gonzalez was unequivocal: Trump, he said, "helped organize and incite a mob that attacked the United States Congress in an attempt to prevent us from completing our solemn duties as prescribed by the Constitution." He added that during the attack, Trump "abandoned his post ... thus further endangering all present."
6. Rep. Fred Upton, Michigan's 6th: Upton has been in office since 1987. He comes from a district that is more moderate. Trump won it just 51% to 47%. Upton has good relationships with Democrats, including President-elect Joe Biden, and even has #WearYourMask in his Twitter bio. Upton said he would have preferred a bipartisan censure that would not interfere with the business of the next administration, "but," he said, "it is time to say enough is enough." He also cited Trump's efforts "to impede the peaceful transfer of power from one President to the next." 7. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, Washington's 3rd: Herrera Beutler was swept in with the Tea Party wave in 2010, but her district is a moderate one. Trump won it 51% to 47%. Herrera Beutler gained prominence several years ago for giving birth to a child three months early, born without kidneys and a rare syndrome. Her daughter, Abigail, became the first to survive the often-fatal condition. The now-mother of three and congresswoman from southwest Washington state declared on the House floor her vote in favor of impeachment: "I'm not choosing sides, I'm choosing truth."
8. Rep. Peter Meijer, Michigan's 3rd: Meijer is a freshman, who won his seat with 53% of the vote. He represents a district that was previously held by Justin Amash, the former Republican-turned-independent who voted in favor of Trump's impeachment in 2019. Meijer, a Columbia University grad who served in Afghanistan, is a social conservative in favor of restrictions on abortion rights and against restrictions on gun rights and religious freedoms. But he said Trump showed no "courage" and "betrayed millions with claims of a 'stolen election.' " He added, "The one man who could have restored order, prevented the deaths of five Americans including a Capitol police officer, and avoided the desecration of our Capitol, shrank from leadership when our country needed it most." 9. Rep. John Katko, New York's 24th: Katko is a moderate from an evenly divided moderate district. A former federal prosecutor, he said of Trump: "It cannot be ignored that President Trump encouraged this insurrection." He also noted that as the riot was happening, Trump "refused to call it off, putting countless lives in danger."10. Rep. David Valadao, California's 21st: The Southern California congressman represents a majority-Latino district Biden won 54% to 44%. Valadao won election to this seat in 2012 before losing it in 2018 and winning it back in the fall. He's the rare case of a member of Congress who touts his willingness to work with the other party. Of his vote for impeachment, he said: "President Trump was, without question, a driving force in the catastrophic events that took place on January 6." He added, "His inciting rhetoric was un-American, abhorrent, and absolutely an impeachable offense."
Meet Stormy Daniels shown above with Donald Trump before becoming president of the United States. A modern day Marilyn Monroe meets Debbie Does Dallas - the famous porn star, author and femme fatale made headlines when she announced her affair with Donald Trump who was married to his third wife Melania Knauss Trump - the future First Lady of the United States.
The affair was not the only declaration; however, when it was divulged that Donald Trump's attorney and "fixer" - Michael Cohen - had bribed Daniels with the sum of $130,000 to maintain her silence...at least until after the 2016 Presidential election.
According to the witty and confident Daniels - the affair and physical relationship began when she met Mr. Trump at an event they both attended in Lake Tahoe. Mr. Trump invited Stormy to his hotel room and the night progressed from there. According to Daniels they met again at one of Donald Trumps favorite "dating" locales - The Beverly Hills Hotel - where he has a favorite bungalow for his pleasure and indiscretions.
Stormy aka Stephanie Clifford is no stranger to casual encounters. Also aware that Trump was married to Melania, who was a new mother having given birth to her only child - Baron Trump - (Trumps fifth) only four short months prior.
When Stormy was interviewing during a late night television show in 2011 she openly discussed her relationship with Donald Trump. Soon after that interview the story was picked up by an online website and
it was then that she was contacted by
an attorney who presented her with a cease-and-desist letter.
As time moved on and not long before the 2016 presidential elections, Stormy began fielding calls from media outlets to sell her story. Before she had finalized any agreements; however, Michael Cohen, Donald Trumps attorney and personal "fixer", contacted Keith Davidson, Ms. Daniels attorney, with a proposal - money for her silence. Daniels took the deal and was paid $130,000 dollars about a week and half before the 2016 elections.
Of course, as with most human intrigue stories that involve sex, affairs of the heart and money - it didn't take long for the news to break. But lucky for Donald Trump - the damn didn't burst until after he narrowly won the election by electoral votes only. Hillary Clinton, who it is now believed would have won the election by a landslide had it not been for the Russian interference, won the popular vote by over 2.8 million votes! Donald Trump, narrowly secured his victory with a tally of 304 electoral votes to Clinton's 227 electoral votes.
After the story made national headlines everywhere, people couldn't get enough of Stormy Daniels. Her interviews were a no-holds-bar account of everything anyone wanted to know (and some you didn't) about her affair with the 45th President of the United States - Donald Trump. Daniels spilled the beans on sexual position, Trumps "junk" and the hush money.
For Michael Cohens part in the whole scandal - he plead guilty to campaign finance violation for the payment. Cohen - under oath - stated the payment was made under the direction of a "candidate" for office.
Ms. Daniels then took to the courts where she sued Mr. Trump and Mr. Cohen for defamation. Her first two cases were dismissed. The third was settled in May 2019.
Donald Trump initially denied the affair and any financial agreement, but as is a frequent occurrence with the numerous falsehoods spoken by the President - his story evolved from complete denial to recognition of a payment to Daniels that he re-paid with his personal money not out of campaign funds nor his business's. But he continued to deny that he ever instructed Cohen to make a deal.
This scandal naturally created animosity between the two formal lovers resulting in Tweet wars, name calling and other tabloidesque drama.
For more information on Stormy Daniels, check out her book, "Full Disclosure", where she tells her whole story in detail!
Ms. Daniels was also interviewed for the book entitled, "All the Presidents Woman: The Making of a Predator", where she gives straight talk with unabashed humor describing the Tale of Trump and his lack of both prowess and "package". Ouch! Not the proudest moment of Donald Trumps life long pursuits for publicity and flattery.
In contrast, it was a landslide victory for Stormy Daniels who continues to take the world by storm! (@StormyDaniels)
More to come
Lies Lies and More Les
There were an unprecedented quantity of Trump proven false statements to choose from. Below were the worst to date based on the damage, incomprehensible reasoning and most concerning by Trump - selecting from a plethora of more than 2,000 lies spoken during his various "story times" as Commander in Chief.
”The Kurds are much safer right now."
This is a blatant lie. The Kurds were safer with U.S. troops stationed there and over the past 8 years had come to relative stability considering the regions history and continuous conflicts compared to their past. If the US hadn’t suddenly withdrawn its troops from Syria’s northeastern region -the ensuing invasion by Russian & Turkey resulting in the “cleansing” by factions of opposition would not have occurred. The United States troops were the only thing preventing Turkey and Russia from advancing by serving as a buffer that kept Turkish forces out of the country, even though President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has long wanted to kill Kurds along Turkey’s southern border. Our presence prevented him from doing so.
With Trumps rash and UNAPPROVED decision to withdrawal our military Turkey has full reign to continue the war in Syria and the murdering of our Kurd allies with support from Russian.
See an updated and complete list of all his whoppers at Wikipedia here : The Misleading Statements of Donald Trump
In their book titled, All the Presidents Women - The Making of a Predator, authors Barry Levine and Monique El-Faizy uncover details of an alleged sex tape recorded during Trumps visit to a Times Square VIP brothel where he has sex with a prostitute (his regular) and a teenager whom the age was unknown. The video was supposedly recorded and monitored by the eyewitness, a former mobster, John Tino. He does not know where the video is now.
EXCERPT from the dossier:
"3. However, there were other aspects to TRUMP's engagement with the Russian authorities. One which had borne fruit for them was to exploit TRUMP'S personal obsessions and sexual perversion in order to obtain suitable ikompromat' (compromising material) on him. According to
Source D, where s/he had been present, TRUMP's (perverted) conduct in Moscow included hiring the presidential suite of the Ritz Carlton Hotel, where he knew President and Mrs OBAMA (whom he hated) had stayed on one of their official trips to Russia, and defiling the bed where they had slept by employing a number of prostitutes to perform a 'golden showers'
(urination) show in front of him. The hotel was known to be under FSB control with microphones and concealed cameras in all the main rooms to record anything they wanted to."
This was alledged to take place in 2013 coincidently Trump stayed overnight at the Ritz-Carlton Moscow in November 2013 while attending Miss Universe.
Trump further discussed the issue with former FBI Director James Comey where he states the president asked him to investigate if Putin had the tape.
Lev Parnas, a key player in the Ukraine - Trump scandal recently handed over recordings that includes audio, video and photos of Giuliani and Trump. It was unclear what the content depicts and the committees only began accessing and reviewing the material recently.
BREAKING NEWS - January 24, 2020 - the first round of Parnas recordings are released to MSNBC which listeners hear President Donald Trump asking for the removal of Marie Yovanovitch and to "take her out" during a private dinner at the White House where Lev Parnas was in attendance. The recording, allegedly recorded by Igor Fruman (another associate of both the president and his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani) has the President being advised and verbally replying with his wish for her to be dealt with. The recording was taken at a dinner in 2018.
Marie Yovanovitch returned from Ukraine to D.C. April 2019 and was removed from her position of Ambassador to Ukraine on May 20, 2019. Yovanovitch was intricately involved in fighting corruption in Ukraine and was considered an obstacle by advocates FOR corruption in Ukraine.
Harvard Business Reviews news article The Dynamics of Personal Influences :
According to a study at Harvard University- "although a person may be connected to other people by six degrees of separation, he or she is influenced only by those up to three degrees a way." ... "… a person's influence progressively diminishes as the degrees of separation increase. It further suggests … “a person’s influence progressively diminishes as the degrees of separation increase. For example, the risk for smoking in a person connected to a smoker (that is, at one degree of separation) is 61% higher, on average, than would be expected as a result of chance. It is 29% higher if the friends of that person’s friends smoke, and 11% higher if the friends of the person’s friends’ friends smoke. By the fourth degree of separation there is no longer an increase in risk."
With this principle in mind - we take a look at the key influencer’s of one of the most powerful men in the world - Donald Trump - and whom he chose and chooses to surround himself with.
As the age old adage quips - "Birds of a feather flock together."
The U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee on Intelligence was created in 1976 with the mission to “oversee and make continuing studies of the intelligence activities and programs of the United States Government,” to “submit to the Senate appropriate proposals for legislation and report to the Senate concerning such intelligence activities and programs,” and to “provide vigilant legislative oversight over the intelligence activities of the United States to assure that such activities are in conformity with the Constitution and laws of the United States.”
On May 17, 2017 - former FBI agent Robert Mueller was appointed as special counsel to oversee the probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. The following FIVE volume's represent the findings.
“Volume I: Russian Efforts Against Election Infrastructure”
Introduction to Volume I ~
I. (U) INTRODUCTION (U) From 2017 to 2019, the Committee held hearings, conducted interviews, and reviewed intelligence related to Russian attempts in 2016 to access election infrastructure. The Committee sought to determine the extent of Russian activities, identify the response of the U.S. Government at the state, local, and federal level to the threat, and make recommendations on how to better prepare for such threats in the future. 1 he Committee received testimony from state election officials, Obama administration officials, and those in the Intelligence Community and elsewhere in the U.S. Government responsible for evaluating threats to elections.
“Volume II: Russia’s Use of Social Media”
Introduction to Volume II ~
I. (U) INTRODUCTION In 2016, Russian operatives associated with the St. Petersburg-based Internet Research Agency (IRA) used social media to conduct an information warfare campaign designed to spread disinformation and societal division in the United States. <redacted from report> 1 Masquerading as Americans, these operatives used targeted advertisements, intentionally falsified news articles, self-generated content, and social media platform tools to interact with and attempt to deceive tens of millions of social media users in the United States. This campaign sought to polarize Americans on the basis of societal, ideological, and racial differences, provoked real world events, and was part of a foreign government's covert support of Russia's favored candidate in the U.S. presidential election.
“Volume III: U.S. Government Response to Russian Activities”
Introduction to Volume III ~
I. (U) INTRODUCTION (U) Senior U.S. Government officials in both the Executive and Legislative Branches believed they were in uncharted territory in the second half of 2016. They became aware of aspects of Russian interference in U.S. elections over the summer and fall, but these officials had incomplete information on the scope of the threat. In the fall, the Obama administration responded with several warnings to Moscow, but tempered its response over concerns about appearing to act politically on behalf of one candidate, undermining public confidence in the election, and provoking additional Russian actions. Further, administration officials' options were limited by incomplete information about the threat and having a narrow slate of response options from which to draw. After the election, President Obama took action to punish Moscow for its interference, including instituting sanctions, expelling Russian government personnel, and shuttering Russian diplomatic facilities inside the United States. (U) While this summary will focus on the events above, understanding the broader geopolitical context is important. In 2013, about four years after President Obama gave a speech at Moscow's New Economic School announcing his intent to "reset" relations with Russia, Moscow granted political asylum to Edward Snowden after he illegally stole and disclosed classified U.S. Government information. In 2014, Russia unlawfully invaded and occupied the Crimean Peninsula and parts of eastern Ukraine. In 2015, Russian troops landed on the ground in Syria, propping up a struggling Assad regime that had perpetuated widespread human rights violations and used unconscionable force against its own population. In 2016, Russian security forces harassed numerous U.S. diplomats in Russia, including assaulting an American diplomat in front of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. As the administration was engaging Russia to deescalate the conflict in Syria and calm tensions in Ukraine, Russia was directing its well-honed cyber capabilities and influence operations in a multi-front campaign to interfere in the elections of the United States and a number of allied nations. (U) With the benefit of hindsight and additional information, the Committee now knows far more about the scope of Russian activity than the administration knew at the time. While it was clear to administration officials the Committee interviewed that Russia was taking steps to interfere in the election, the extent of Russian activity to influence voters, sow discord in U.S. society, and undermine confidence in democratic institutions only emerged later. In addition, while the U.S. Government's understanding of Russian activity against state election infrastructure has improved over time, the extent of Russian cyber activity against state and local election systems was unclear in the fall of 2016. (U) Senior administration officials told the Committee that they assessed that their warnings to Russia before the election had the desired effect, and that Russia undertook little to no additional action once the warnings were delivered. However, it is now clear that at least some aspects of Russian activity continued through the fall of 2016 and after the election; notably, Russia's use of social media and its attempts to penetrate vulnerable state and local election infrastructure.
“Volume IV: Review of the Intelligence Community Assessment”
Introduction to Volume IV ~

“Volume 5: Counterintelligence Threats and Vulnerabilities”
Findings introduction ~
I. (U) FINDINGS (U) The Committee found that the Russian government engaged in an aggressive, multifaceted effort to influence, or attempt to influence, the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. Parts of this effort are outlined in the Committee's earlier volumes on election security, social media, the Obama Administration's response to the threat, and the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA). (U) The fifth and final volume focuses on the counterintelligence threat, outlining a wide range of Russian efforts to influence the Trump Campaign and the 2016 election. In this volume the Committee lays out its findings in detail by looking at many aspects of the counterintelligence threat posed by the Russian influence operation. For example, the Committee examined Paul Manafort' s connections to Russian influence actors and the FBI' s treatment of reporting produced by Christopher Steele. While the Committee does not describe the final result as a complete picture, this volume provides the most comprehensive description to date of Russia's activities and the threat they posed. This volume presents this information in topical sections in order to address coherently and in detail the wide variety of Russian actions. The events explained in these sections in many cases overlap, and references in each section will direct the reader to those overlapping parts of the volume. Immediately below is a summary of key findings from several sections.
