Trump issued a late-night social media meltdown targeting Rep. Jamie Raskin in reaction to the announcement. This response indicates he is rattled by the procedural steps taken in the House.
What framing did Al Green use in discussing the impeachment?
Al Green used a Jim Crow framing and described Trump's actions as 'dastardly' violations of the law during his CSPAN appearance. He reinforced plans to advance articles of impeachment soon.
A Reuters caption confirms the House Rules Committee met ahead of a possible House impeachment vote, but supplies no resolution number, allegations, timing, committee result, or evidence that action advanced. The broader House Judiciary process remains unresolved, while Al Green's H.Res. 1486 remains a likely symbolic measure with little chance of passage.
