"Like all of his predecessors, Trump took an oath on Inauguration Day pursuant to Article I, Clause 3 of the Constitution to 'take care' that the laws of the nation be faithfully executed.
Trump has violated that oath in myriad ways, by:
● Defying the oversight authority of Congress.
● Attempting to obstruct the Mueller investigation.
● Using the presidency to enrich himself, his family and the Trump Organization in violation of the Constitution’s 'emoluments clause.'
● Refusing to defend the Affordable Care Act, imperiling the health insurance available to millions of Americans
Undermining environmental protections and pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement, endangering the health and safety of generations.
● Reneging on the Iran nuclear deal, bringing the nation to the brink of another war in the Middle East.
● Refusing to enforce the Voting Rights Act, promoting voter suppression and sowing racial hatred and resentments.
● Promising tax relief for middle-class and working families, but sponsoring a massive giveaway to the superrich.
● Incarcerating undocumented children in cages, and declaring a national emergency to fund his border wall.
"Through it all, he has lied incessantly about these and other misdeeds, much as Nixon lied about Watergate. Nixon was cited for deceiving the public in the Articles of Impeachment ratified by the House Judiciary Committee in 1974. Trump should be as well.
"All things considered, the real issue is not whether Trump should be impeached, but when and how impeachment should unfold.
"As for when, there is no better time than the present. Trump and Barr show no signs of relenting in their crusade to expand presidential power. The sooner they are put on the defensive, the better."

"In April 2013, police burst into Unit 63A of Trump Tower and rounded up 29 suspects in two gambling rings.
"The operation, which prosecutors called 'the world’s largest sports book,' was run out of condos in Trump Tower—including the entire fifty-first floor of the building. Unit 63A served as the headquarters for a 'sophisticated money-laundering scheme' that moved an estimated $100 million out of the former Soviet Union, through shell companies in Cyprus, and into investments in the United States.
"In addition, the Taj Mahal was fined $10 million in 2015—the highest penalty ever levied by the feds against a casino—and admitted to having 'willfully violated' anti-money-laundering regulations for years."
