Texas Democrat Al Green Calls For President Trump's Impeachment On House Floor | TIME

Texas Rep. Al Green called for President Donald Trump's impeachment on the House floor on Wednesday.

Green's call for impeachment follows a New York Times report that Trump asked former FBI Director James Comey—who he fired last week—to stop investigating Michael Flynn, the administration's former National Security Adviser. According to the Times, Comey wrote a memo after meeting with Trump the day after Flynn resigned, following revelations that he had misled Vice President Mike Pence about his conversations regarding sanctions with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Comey wrote in the memo that Trump asked him to "let this go" regarding Flynn, according to the Times.

[flipflopsneeded]

I was hoping he would sing it #neverbeforeanyonehassaidit

[TheRealRavenQuest]

He may not do this for political reasons (whatever) but ya know it's cuz he's got a lot at stake by Trump draining the swamp.

[elcajondavid]

[alanhowitzer]

Platitudes, and conjecture blah, blah, blah. This guy can talk, but says nothing.

Fun game for you Trump supporters. Let's put all the stories about Trump in the last week and instead of Trump, replace his name with either Hillary or Obama. If you would treat them the same way as you treat Trump, then I'm okay with your reasoning. #CountryOverParty.

[thethinker]

am i the only one laughing over his voice?

[thegooseman]

Better yet let me ask you, who paid you or scared you into barking like a dog on the house floor.

[ABLEOVER]

hey call for the impeachment of the entire United States government we need a big do over

[ufukalpaslan]

So they choose this guy Al Green as sniper?

[Criticallyincorrect]

Has trump even gone to court and proven guilt yet? Because if he hasn't he can't be impeached

[stephenm.reinfranck]

I am disgusted to read the comments of all these ignorant and racist
respondents. Congressman Al Green is a LEADER, showing the courage to do
the RIGHT THING before it's popular. Please join me in thanking him!!!

[LolitaPanDulce]

IMPEACH. STAY STRONG. IMPEACH. STAND STRONG. IMPEACH. ONLY OUR DOUBTS STOP US. IMPEACH. IT IS POSSIBLE. IMPEACH. NOT MY PRESIDENT. IMPEACH HIM AND THE VP.
