The judiciary is introducing two articles of impeachment charging the president of the united states, donald j. Trump, with committing high crimes and misdemeanors. The third time in recent history any way. There are two charges against the president. Abuse of office and obstruction of congress. Past impeachment have listed far more crimes but of course it just takes one and the abuse of office was the primary thing the framers of the constitution were worried about. Adam schiff who led the investigation said the impeachment must come now before the next election. The argument why dont you just wait amounts to this why dont you just let him cheat in one more election. Why not let him cheat just one more time. Why not let him have foreign help just one more time. That is what that argument amounts to. The investigation found that during the 2016 campaign the Trump Organization was aware of russian assistance and welcomed it but did not coordinate with russia. Todays charges concentrate on the next election and ukraine. We know President Trump asked ukraine to investigate his political rival joe biden. That is factual. The white house acknowledges that happened. We also knomp withheld military aid and a white house meeting from ukraine while asking for that investigation. The president denies those things are linked. Here is reaction during the republicans regularly scheduled press conference this morning. That is the abuse of power. Speaker pelosi, adam schiff, and her counterparts have been abusing the power of impeachment because theyrefrd donald trump will get reelected on his own. The American People should be the ones that decide who the president is, not nancy pelosi or adam schiff. Because they disagree with the results of the 2016 election. We have not heard from President Trump directly. Hes tweeted a couple of things, very small tweets. Does he have a rally planned this evening so we may hear well im sure were hear something at the rally. Right now hes meet rg Russian Foreign minister sergey lavrov. Last time he met with lavrov in the white house was the day after he fired james comey. So it is an awkward moment for the Russian Foreign minister to be in the white house. Youre the president of the united states. Cant you reschedule . I dont know. It seems like from a p. R. Point of view, that might be a good idea. Well see what he has to say. It ises a byy morning for scott and lester holt. He is also going to break it down with reaction from washington, d. C. So watch nightly news after bay area news at 5 00. A different side of washington, House Democrats and the Trump Administration have reached an agreement for the replacement of nafta.

Some of the higher amounts across the north bay we may not see much at all for the peninsula and the south bay and parts of the east bay. An toward the sierra, wire seeing a nice coating of snow and unfortunately see a warmer storm moving in so it will only bring in a few more inches and that will come down as rain.
