politicsmeanspolitics.com/impeaching-tru…
Until today, only 3 of the 4 Congressional committees responsible for proper oversight over #TrumpRussia🇷🇺had launched investigations:
✅@senjudiciary
✅Senate Intelligence
✅House Intelligence
❌@HouseJudiciary

👆🏼THIS👇🏼is important b/c #impeachment proceedings *start* in the HOUSE JUDICIARY Cmte. 3/
Until today, House Judiciary chair @RepGoodlatte had BLOCKED #TrumpRussia🇷🇺hearings, despite its own committee member @BradSherman's impeachment resolution filed in JULY‼️ 4/
Other @HouseJudDems fought to hold #TrumpRussia🇷🇺hearings & even *walked out* on Chair Goodlatte (btw, this *rarely* ever happens).🤨 5/
@tedlieu @RepJerryNadler @RepJayapal @RepJeffries
Today, Rep Nadler utter CRUSHED Sessions with his own twisted tales and lies‼️
👇🏼WATCH👇🏼
6/
Rep Jeffries HAMMERED Sessions for his "convenient" loss of recall of ANYTHING relating to #TrumpRussia🇷🇺. 7/
Ted Lieu, a former military JAG attorney, utterly DESTROYED Sessions with his lies about meetings w/#Russian🇷🇺Ambassador Kislyak.
🔥"Were you lying then, or are you lying now."🔥 8/
Ted Lieu ROASTS Sessions *again* over his repeated LIES to the Senate.
🔥"You were either lying then, or lying now.🔥 9/
Today was a HUGE step on the path to #impeachment‼️
👉🏼the committee where impeachment starts *finally* held its first hearing
👉🏼Sessions was proven to have lied MULTIPLE times about his / #Trump campaigns contacts w/#Russians🇷🇺
10/
On Sept 14, Goodlatte & top DEM @RepJohnConyers met w/#Mueller🇺🇸. I wrote then that👆🏼THIS👇🏼was to get the ball rolling on #impeachment‼️ 11/
Since his Sept 14 meeting w/Mueller, Goodlatte:
👉🏼announced his retirement at the end of this term
👉🏼held 1st #TrumpRussia🇷🇺hearing *in public*
12/
Now the question is: WHEN does the House Judiciary hold its next hearing, and WHO will sit in the hot seat⁉️
Goodlatte will NOT seek re-election, so he's free to DO THE RIGHT THING & hold more hearings.🤔
But will he⁉️ //end
