With Trump’s @theJusticeDept & @FBI you’re naive if you think 2020 elections will be fair. Only 1 thing can stop it: House Judiciary uses its broad subpoena powers under impeachment processes instead of niggling around Trump/Putin’s heels.

Before @SpeakerPelosi apologists start whining, do your homework. Read about the differences in subpoena power under impeachment processes vs under legislative oversight. The latter will be in court for years, which is Trump’s plan.

#AfraidToImpeach
Before you start wringing hands in fear of impeaching Trump because we’ll likely have at least 35 GOP senators vote to not remove, read about impeachment processes. They will likely go on in the @HouseJudiciary in front of TV cameras for months before a vote.

Without invoking impeachment judicial processes, AG Barr can drag this out for many months.
“Sirica devoted extensive attention to the notion of ‘judicial proceeding’ & whether a judicial proceeding was unfolding in the House Judiciary.”

Before @SpeakerPelosi apologists start arguing trust Nancy (blind faith) ask her to make a speech, as the 2nd most powerful person in DC, with details on how she will assure Russia won’t tilt the 2020 election with these Trump lackeys at the helm. @RepAdamSchiff

Before you argue supporting @RepAdamSchiff’s reason for being #AfraidToImpeach – “We shouldn’t ascertain if there are viable impeachment charges unless we’re assured we’ll have 21 GOP senators on board” – show me which of these will run campaign ads supporting Trump’s crimes??

#AfraidToImpeach
Before @SpeakerPelosi apologists argue “trust Nancy” (blind faith) “she’s for the people” ask her why – when 71% of Dems/ lean Dem say "Impeaching Trump" is important (CNN poll Apr 25-28) – she refuses to start impeachment processes as @KamalaHarris suggests.

MUST Watch! Three simple reasons on why we have enough evidence to start impeachment processes. Watch this & then explain why @SpeakerPelosi is #AfraidToImpeach. She has no choice but to do her job!! cc:@RepAdamSchiff @RepJerryNadler

.#AfraidToImpeach – Throwing a wet blanket on the Mueller Report instead of weaponizing it, @SpeakerPelosi is making decisions out of fear. Americans will NEVER vote for fearful leaders. “Pelosi remains committed to avoiding impeachment”🙄

.@SpeakerPelosi is in denial that we'll have fair elections in 2020 with Trump & his lackeys running @theJusticeDept. She lets Trump know that she's #AfraidToImpeach & he smells fear like a rabid dog. The Trump/Putin 2020 fix is in while Pelosi clutches her pearls #PelosiSoScared

The majority of the American people didn't support Impeachment Hearings of Nixon before they started. However, after the hearings started, majority of the people supported the Impeachment Hearings. @SpeakerPelosi

Interesting FACT: Speaker of the House does not have to be an elected representative. If the House had Robert Mueller III as Speaker of the House, my bet is he wouldn’t be #AfraidToImpeach. Hell, he even recommended it in his report. cc:@SpeakerPelosi @RepJerryNadler

.@RepAdamSchiff’s reason for being #AfraidToImpeach – Before we start impeachment judicial processes to ascertain if there are viable charges, we should be assured 21 GOP senators are on board–
Show me which of these will run campaign ads in their state supporting Trump’s crimes?

.@SpeakerPelosi gives Trump power he doesn’t have – power to block elected House Reps from taking their seats. “He would challenge each of the races; he would say you can’t seat these people.”
We don’t need scared leaders. #AfraidToImpeach #PelosiSoScared
