Trump's relentless obstruction means that an impeachment inquiry is now the only viable option to reveal the facts and to hold him accountable.
, one of the largest progressive organizations resisting Donald Trump's agenda and his attacks on our democracy, people have long assumed that I support impeachment. But while I've spent the past two years fighting his corruption alongside our group's two million community members, I haven't called for impeachment hearings up until now.
Impeachment hearings would enable Congress to lay out the evidence of Trump's criminal wrongdoing in nationally televised hearings, and they would put Congress in a stronger position to enforce subpoenas and demand evidence and testimony from key witnesses. After nearly two years of investigating, Mueller concluded that Trump welcomed an attack on our democracy from a hostile foreign nation to help him win. Mueller's report illuminates the Trump campaign's numerous attempts to coordinate with Russia, including sharing campaign polling and more than 140 contacts with Russian nationals, Wikileaks, and their intermediaries.
For better or worse, Mueller concluded that the responsibility to hold a corrupt president accountable lies with Congress—and it's now time for them to act. While pundits are quick to predict that impeachment will fire up Trump's supporters, they ignore the effect that doing nothing would have on the turnout of the progressive base.
