Rep. Brittany Pettersen (D-CO), recently claimed that Democrats are currently ‘building a case’ to impeach Trump again if and when they retake power. She was on a phone call with supporters when she said this, and you can hear the audio below.
She specifically references Democrats on the House Oversight Committee regarding this effort.
Breitbart News reported:
According to Pettersen’s office, nearly 8,000 Coloradans were on the call, which featured the congresswoman talking about the need to fight against the Trump administration on issues like immigration enforcement.“As Trump escalates attacks on Colorado and unlawfully withholds critical funding, sends ICE into our state to terrorize communities, and threatens our NATO allies abroad — I want people to know that we are here to support them in every way we can and they are not alone,” she said during the townhall. “I will continue to fight back against the cruelty and lawlessness of this Administration and also work to find common ground with my colleagues where I can. It is going to be a very tough road ahead but we are going to get through it together.”When taking questions, one constituent asked if Pettersen would vote to impeach President Donald Trump…While acknowledging that “it is highly unlikely” that there will be a successful impeachment of Trump, she continued on to say, “But we are building our case.”She added that Democrats on the House Oversight Committee are “working on making sure that they’re building up their ability,” so that they can figure out what “we can do to ultimately move forward to impeach Trump.

Why shouldn’t we take her at her word? The Democrats are already ramping up to impeach Kristi Noem.
The Hill reports:
House Homeland Democrats launch investigation into Noem with eyes on impeachmentDemocrats on the House Homeland Security Committee said they will begin their own investigation into Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, a process they say could well lead to her impeachment.Gathered next to a photo of Renee Good, the Democrats said her death at the hands of an immigration officer highlights the need for accountability for Noem, who they argue has encouraged agents to act with impunity.Rep. Bennie Thompson (Miss.), the top Democrat on the panel, said the committee would begin a process of “accountability,” one that would involve cross-country visits to take testimony.When asked about impeachment, he said, “Nothing is off the table.”“This shooting did not happen in a vacuum. It is a tragic result of Noem’s dangerous reign as Secretary,” Thompson said.
If Democrats take the House and/or the Senate in the midterms, I have no doubt that they will try to impeach not only Trump but members of his cabinet as well. Their base demands it.
