Third-Ranking Democrat Says House Will Eventually Impeach Trump 11:57 AM 06/02/2019 | Politics Chuck Ross | Investigative Reporter South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn, the third-ranking Democrat in the House, said Sunday he believes President Donald Trump will eventually be impeached. “But it sounds like you’re — you think that the president will be impeached, or at least proceedings will begin in the House at some point, but just not right now?” CNN’s Jake Tapper asked Clyburn during an interview. “Yes, exactly what I feel,” replied Clyburn, the Democratic whip. Clyburn’s remarks are likely to raise expectations for Democrats to begin impeachment proceedings against Trump. Rank-and-file Democrats, as well as most of the Democrats running for president, have called for impeachment of Trump. So far, Speaker Nancy Pelosi has pushed back against the idea, largely out of concerns that impeachment proceedings would end up helping Trump politically. “I think the president wants us to impeach him,” Pelosi told ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday. “He knows it’s not a good idea to be impeached, but the silver lining for him is then, he believes, that he would be exonerated by the United States Senate.” WATCH: twitter.com/CNNSotu/status/1135180596282568705 Even if a majority of the House voted to impeach Trump, it is unlikely he would be removed from office, a point Pelosi and Clyburn concede. Removal requires support of two-thirds of the GOP-controlled Senate. Mueller was unable to find evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election, but he punted on the issue of whether Trump attempted to obstruct the investigation. Attorney General William Barr decided against pursuing a case against Trump. Clyburn said Democrats must “effectively educate the public” before moving ahead with impeachment proceedings against Trump. Poster Comment: Nixon was impeached but resigned before he could be removed from office.
