U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-NJ-09) today reacted to the vote in the House of Representatives to commence an official and public impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump. “No Democrat or Republican wanted to ever reach this point. Throughout the 116th Congress, the House has been unrelenting in investigating corruption in this administration. But in the face of unprecedented obstruction of justice, we have passed the point where oversight by itself is enough. The outrages of this administration have not abated, but instead accelerated by a failure to constrain them. The gravity of these acts and the threat to our Constitution requires us to commence an impeachment inquiry of Donald Trump to determine if he must be removed from office. “Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s patience and far-sightedness has allowed us to reach this point. Her leadership is irreplaceable at this dark moment in our history and I am thankful for it. Our inquiry will be objective and thorough. We will find the truth and lay it all out for the American public. We’re ready.” |
