The Washington Post ran the headline, ``The Campaign to Impeach President Trump Has Begun'' just 19 minutes after President Trump took the oath of office. The freshman Congresswoman from Michigan told a group of supporters, ``We are going to impeach the mother-blank'' shortly after she was sworn in. Even Speaker Pelosi admitted last week that the impeachment effort has been going on for 2\1/2\ years, long before any phone call between two world leaders.
