YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTrump's first impeachment - 2020
During the six hours of debate ahead of the House impeachment vote, Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, pushed back against the GOP argument that President Donald Trump didn't do anything wrong because the Ukrainians ultimately got the aid. "It's the equivalent of saying, 'If you're pulled over by a cop, and you attempt to bribe the cop, and the cop doesn't take the money but arrests you, where is the crime in that? They didn't get the money,'" Schiff said. Republicans then booed him. Schiff continued: "That's not the way the law works, that's not the way the Constitution works, that's not the way our oath of office works." Trump was charged with two articles of impeachment--abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. If passed, the process will then head for a trial in the Senate, where Republicans have a majority. Earlier in the day, the House voted to approve rules for the vote.
