CONGRESS OKs IMPEACHMENT

Voting Yes, Delgado Sought

‘Transparency, Accountability’

Congressman Delgado

U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado, D-19, who represents Otsego County in Congress, said he voted aye Thursday to launch a formal impeachment proceeding against President Trump “because I am committee to transparency and accountability.”

The 232-196 vote along generally partisan lines — only two Democrats voted against the measure — established a “formal process for the relevant committees to continue their work, Delgado said.

He said, “I believe this resolution will allow the American people to see the ongoing work within these committees, to follow the facts, and to protect our national security.”

  1. The impeachment inquiry is an outrageous partisan exercise that dangerously divides us. Derangement got the better of Delgado. Let the American people rule on this nothing burger next November. Bracing when one realizes our adversaries are watching. We fiddle as Rome burns. The congressman betrays his disappointed rural district of common sense constituents. A wolf in moderate’s clothing. Can’t wait to vote him out.
