A president is sitting in the Oval Office, right now, who continues to commit crimes. He continues because he knows his Department of Justice will not act -- and he believes Congress won't either.
Today’s news about Trump’s latest attempt to solicit foreign interference to aid him in U.S. elections confirmed yet again he thinks he’s above the law.

A president is sitting in the Oval Office, right now, who continues to commit crimes. He continues because he knows his Department of Justice will not act — and he believes Congress won’t either.
After the Mueller report, Congress had a duty to begin impeachment. By failing to act, Congress is complicit in Trump's latest actions. It’s time for Congress to do their constitutional duty and impeach the president.
Mitch McConnell is also complicit. The Senate must vote on the bill, already passed by the House, to help states and localities protect themselves from the foreign attacks on our elections that the president has previously welcomed.
In 1974, Democrats and Republicans united in support of impeachment not out of mutual contempt for Nixon but mutual respect for the rule of law. Congress refused to be complicit in future law-breaking by Nixon or other presidents.
I said it before, and I’ll say it again: It’s time for this Congress to start impeachment proceedings.
