WILLITS, 9/25/19 — Well the day has finally arrived. After months and years of hemming-and-hawing over whether or not to impeach President Donald Trump, House Speak Nancy Pelosi is moving ahead and has opened up an “impeachment inquiry.”
Just to be clear, we try to stick to local news here at The Mendocino Voice, but we also believe in relaying some of the opinions and actions of our specific congressman, Jared Huffman, to our readers. We also take no stance on the impeachment inquiry, or the actions or opinions of the congressman, we are just relaying his statement to the voters of Mendocino County.
Huffman’s statement:
Rep. Huffman Statement on Impeachment Inquiry
Washington, D.C.- Representative Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael) issued the following statement tonight, following Speaker Pelosi’s announcement of an official impeachment inquiry:
“I have long believed that President Trump’s obstruction of justice, conflicts of interest, and contempt for the rule of law amounted to high crimes and misdemeanors as described in the Constitution. But his efforts to coerce the government of Ukraine into helping his reelection campaign, and his work to cover up a whistleblower’s credible and urgent report, clearly undermines our system of checks and balances and represents a historic tipping point. Tonight we held a unifying and decisive caucus meeting where members from all corners of our caucus agreed that the House must move forward with an impeachment inquiry. I strongly support this important and historic decision, and will keep working with my colleagues to hold President Trump accountable.”

Jared Huffman you are an embarrassment to the people you represent in Mendocino County – well at least my opinion! Anyone who would “blindly” follow that communist Nancy Pelosi cannot be trusted!
Thank God I am leaving this liberal state of California!
Goodbye and good luck!
Jared Huffman, I so appreciate your representation in Congress I am impressed with your relationship with your district/frequent town halls listening to your constituents views and needs. If all politicians were like you we would not be in this current mess
I’m one of the 6 Republicans remaining in Northern California, and want you to know that I wholeheartedly support the left’s pushing forward with this “Inquiry”. It should put an end to the rumor-mongering – and likely show some more dirty laundry on both sides, Go for it!
An “Impeachment Inquiry” is one thing, actual impeachment something else, and removal from office still further down the road. Unless there is serious and swift action, this will roll right into the election. Which might be the real intent.
