Article II said:The House of Representatives shall choose their speaker and other officers; and shall have the sole power of impeachment.
Article II said:The Senate shall have the sole power to try all impeachments. When sitting for that purpose, they shall be on oath or affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two thirds of the members present.
The Democrats will control the House on January 2, 2019. The Republicans likely will retain control of the Senate on January 2, 2019. Under the Constitution the House of Representatives is in charge of impeaching Federal officials.The Senate has the power to try the impeached official for removal from office.Many Democrats believe that President Donald Trump should be impeached and removed. Many Democrats also believe that Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh should be impeached and removed. Ditto Acting Attorney General Whittaker.
Perhaps the Democrats should consider assigning to committees the job of drafting articles of impeachment, where appropriate, and flooding the Senate with the duty to conduct trials. This would be a constructive and creative way to generate ferment.
Fringe members will push it but I doubt the majority will go for it. Pushing an impeachment that will undoubtedly not lead to conviction by the Senate won’t look good. It led to a number of congressional losses for Republicans when they tried it on Clinton.
If the Senate won’t convict then it will make Trump seem vindicated after the process. Now, if the investigation yields evidence even the Republican Senate can’t deny, then that is another story. But I don’t believe we are at that point yet.

There's no point in making serious plans until Congress gets to see Mueller's final report.

I have a feeling this will backfire on them hard if they find nothing or very little results.The Democrats will control the House on January 2, 2019.

I think you're also gonna see a slow waking of the GOP. They've embraced this president and look what it's gotten them? A solid 30% base and no propects for expanding that. No, it won't take as much as some think for them to turn on him. Once they feel he's costng their re-election campaigns they'll dump him like an orange hot potato.
I'll admit it was my creative parody of the Democrats' efforts to sew division. I am a registered Democrat, politically liberal and live in a one-party district.You said the proposed game plan is mass impeachments.
Who proposed it? Any content here, or is this "plan" just a
made-up story?
This is exactly what many newly elected Democrats are saying.

That was not my intent. I, in fact, am a left-winger.We live in times where the gullible believe such parody. It enters the right wing echo chamber
and becomes "the truth".
On what grounds does Kavanaugh even approach impeachment?My advice to those Democrats is "easy does it." I believe that nobody is more deserving of impeachment than Trump, and I believe that Kavanaugh is likely deserving of impeachment as well, but they're going to have a bit more luck on their side if they hold investigations that conclude with legitimate evidence in favor of impeachment first.
This is a very big deal and everything has to be done by the book.
