The paper's editorial board penned a scathing piece demanding President Trump be impeached for both the Ukraine and Russia scandals.

"[T]he evidence produced over the last two months is more than sufficient to persuade us that he should be impeached," the December 7 editorial begins."Witness after witness testified that the president held up desperately needed, congressionally approved aid to Ukraine to extort a personal political favor for himself. In so doing, Trump flagrantly abused the power of his office.

"[T]hose concerns must yield to the overwhelming evidence that Trump perverted U.S. foreign policy for his own political gain. That sort of misconduct is outrageous and corrosive of democracy. It can't be ignored by the House, and it merits a full trial by the Senate on whether to remove him from office," the piece continued.

The board urged the House to give Americans and the Senate a specific list of Trump's egregious misconduct in office, and took the aggressive position of saying he should also be charged with obstruction of justice for his actions to"thwart or hobble" the Mueller investigation.

"Trump's defenders argue that the evidence against him on Ukraine is incomplete and thus inconclusive," the Saturday piece continued.

Bunch of Hillary voters are calling for impeachment? You don’t say. They only been doing it since the moment they lost the election. Here is a real abuse of power Obama the most corrupt president in history only because Hillary lost

For what newsweek? Cumton raped a teenager with a cigar, busted loads on her face than Lied to Congress about it. Was not removed. Trump is ridding out corruption in dems (Biden cartel) and holding Ukraine in check

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

They'll get his impeachment. They'll also get his reelection.

Feeling Peachy.

Most Embarrassing President Ever!

You might want to re-work that headline. SMH.

Awesome

No CEO would get away with Trumps behaviour. The bar for POTUS should be higher not lower?

Desperation is a difficult state to manage, isn't it? LA Times, NYT, WAPO, CNN and all such actually are beginning to understand we don't care what they say. We look, and see, beyond their wall of lies.

Hmm. Nazis taking over the LA Times op/ed room?

Time for others to Join ! The Republicans are not going to unless there is enough public pressure ....✌️

'gross abuse of power is the business of Congress' And pelosi and adamschiff are most abusive as far as the abuse business (They abuse their own—the Dems).

Los Angeles the home of Hollywood where sexual deviants and pedophile are abundant. The home of Weinstein demanding for Trump to be impeached really means a lot 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

blah blah blah..... Obama's 'Pen & Phone' was a true abuse of Executive Power that he didn't hold. Letter of the Law supports Trump's actions. Presidents can investigate suspected wrongdoing ANYWHERE on the Planet.

Not yet....keep digging. He will resign. PEOPLE WHO DONT WANT THINGS REVEALED WILL FORCE TRUMP TO RESIGN IF DEMOCRATS KEEP DIGGING AOC

ImpeachAndRemoveTrumpNOW or realDonaldTrump can save face and just ResignNowTrump

Lol do something about the shxtty LA first

And those who oppose it will be remembered.

I hope that other papers will begin echoing the same.

Well I’m sold now. I’ve been on the fence but if the completely impartial LA times editors say he must go then it must be true

LA Times, go screw yourselves.

He only reads the headlines of those papers, then calls Fox for the info.

WE DEMAND THE LA TIMES GO OUT OF BUSINESS

No not the LA Times editorial board!!!

coming from a left wing rag, not surprising

They are journalists, not lawmakers. They need to get back to writing fanciful stories.

NJLefty67 95% of Americans wanted stronger background checks after Sandy Hook, but MoscowMitch blocked the efforts. He's going to rig the impeachment trial as well so the Russian asset continues to occupy the White House.

so is 'gross abuse of toilets'

Dream on.

Who profits from the Trump political organisation?

get him out a.s.a.p.

Lol

trump has all of those newspapers, since he can't read did he bring his crayons ?

The 25th Amendment is also there to remove a president incapable of responsibly managing the job. There's little doubt that a mental health status exam would prove he's unwell. Mental Health professionals have repeatedly warned us of his clear/present danger that will only worsen

Demand away! Please tell us they were stomping their feet while demanding it. Are we going to find out they're in trouble too?

LA Times demands....😩😂🤣😩😂😩😩🤣😩😩😂🤣😂😩😂🤣😩😂🤣😩😂🤣😂😩😂😂😩😂🤣😂😂😂😂😩🤣

I’m glad the press isn’t biased

I hope nytimes isn't expecting any medals for FINALLY coming to this conclusion now when it was obvious to everyone else with a any form of sound reasoning skills MONTHS ago.

It's never going to get past the Senate!! Democratic Failure to prove trimmed anything wrong!!
