Impeachment, which is a special form of indictment, does not even require probable cause that a crime (e.g., obstruction of justice) has been committed; it simply requires a finding that an official has engaged in careless, abusive, corrupt, or otherwise dishonorable conduct.

While impeachment should be undertaken only in extraordinary circumstances, the risk we face in an environment of extreme partisanship is not that Congress will employ it as a remedy too often but rather that Congress will employ it so rarely that it cannot deter misconduct.

I think there are more Republicans out there ready to join the Democrats in House investigations.....likely leading up to a formal impeachment inquiry.

i agree it is a very serious, i guess maybe the most serious vote any congressman can make, except signing onto a Declaration of War. It is sad to me as an American, that any president, including Trump whom I have such little regard for as a human being, has given any real number of Congressmen any reason to even contemplate such a serious, sobering response to their actions while President.

Here are my principal conclusions:
1. Attorney General Barr has deliberately misrepresented Mueller’s report.
2. President Trump has engaged in impeachable conduct.
3. Partisanship has eroded our system of checks and balances.
4. Few members of Congress have read the report.

I expect a handful of Republican congressmen will join Amash.
