Pelosi is being urged to announce an impeachment inquiry today. I’m told that’s most likely not going to happen, but that she’s “a hell of a lot closer to green-lighting it than she was”

Take that as you will, but it sounds like positive news to me.
Cummings sounds like he’s there.

Nadler and Schiff sounds like they’re there.

Pelosi, waiting on you.
Well.

She just said she’s going to impeach him if they keep stonewalling.

I respect her making sure all the boxes are checked, but the American people’s patience won’t last much longer.

If you’ve followed me for awhile, you know I’m a gun owner.

You also know that I support common sense legislation to help keep this kind of crap from happening again.

This topic always turns my mentions into a flaming dumpster fire, but let’s dive in, shall we?

Enough. We had THREE mass shootings in the United States YESTERDAY.

Sandy Hook should have been a red line, but it wasn’t. Stoneman Douglas should have been a red line. It wasn’t.

What the hell is wrong with us? What kind of nation sits on their hands while children die?

2/9
Look. I like guns. I own guns. There’s about a 95% chance that I’m alive today because I happened to be carrying a gun one day.

I’ve also trained for a good portion of my life to use those guns.

None of that matters right now. Something has to give.

Delaney probably won’t win many points for attacking Sanders and Warren off the bat.
I know we just finished intros, but Delaney, Williamson, Ryan and Hickenlooper can all go. 🤷‍♂️
Does Bernie’s speech seem impaired, or is it just me?

For those of you who are bummed out about Mueller’s testimony yesterday:

Take a deep breath. Ignore the news articles.

The testimony wasn’t a “flop.”

Perhaps it didn’t live up to reality-TV expectations, but Mueller did exactly what he’s done from start: 1/3
He was deliberate, honest, and offered a poignant take on present-day America.

He was never going to stand in front of Congress and yell “impeach the MF.”

Nonetheless, when questioned effectively, he gave answers that were absolutely damning to POTUS. 2/3
It’s also moving the needle. Over five new lawmakers have called for impeachment since his testimony.

Nadler himself pushed Pelosi for an immediate inquiry during their meeting yesterday.

I know sometimes people think I’m irrationally optimistic, but it won’t be long now. <END>

Here's a theory I've been developing relevant to why House Democrats are reticent to air details of the investigation into #TrumpRussia.

🔹 Israeli interests allegedly conspired with the Trump campaign to undermine the U.S. government in 2016.

Israel has a history of interference with the U.S.government, and the government is reportedly sensitive about said shenanigans being exposed:

THREAD — THERE IS NO #IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY

Deeply troubling that #Pelosi and #Nadler are trying to obfuscate and confuse Democratic voters.

But let's be clear, as CNN reports today: "Pelosi and Nadler have so far resisted the pressure from within their party to open an inquiry."
THERE'S NO IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY

After months of intense activist pressure @SpeakerPelosi and @RepJerryNadler realized they had to throw Dems a bone, so they concocted a convoluted narrative to make it appear the #impeachment process has begun. It hasn't.

@SpeakerPelosi @RepJerryNadler THERE'S NO IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY

Let's be honest: Dem leaders want to punt to 2020 voters while Trump abuses power with total abandon.

#Nadler's words: “If an impeachment inquiry is if you’re considering only impeachment, that’s not what we’re doing.”

A short thread on #impeachment.

I have pre-existing conditions—I fear my life & that of my friends being taken away.
I have close friends with DACA—I fear their right to be here being taken away.
I'm a Latino parent—I fear my child will be discriminated against worse than I was
I'm the survivor of an in-person death threat against me & my family, from a MAGA extremist who hated me just for who I am—I fear him or another carrying out those threats.

I'm an attorney—I fear the erosion of the rule of law.
I'm a patriot—I fear Russian interference in the 2020 election.

I'm a voting rights advocate—I fear a system is currently being created that will lead to permanent minority rule, & that that minority will use political power to permanently restricts the rights of the majority.

It's time I had my say about #Impeachment, DJT's obstructionistic tactics, and @SpeakerPelosi's not pushing for an inquiry yet.

When AG Barr released the redacted version of the report to Congress, he did *not* include any of the underlying documents on which Mueller relied.

1/
Just like a lawsuit, a case has to be built based on facts and evidence. Both the Intelligence Committee and the Judiciary Committee have been working their way through the system, including voting to hold AG Barr in Contempt of Congress. DJT has been fighting them in court.

2/
Meanwhile, the Ways and Means Committee has also been working on getting DJT's tax returns. One of the Committees has also been working on getting records subpoenaed from DJT's financial management firm and from Deutche Bank, known for Russian money laundering.

A note on #impeachment -

In a court of law, under non-presidential circumstances, impeachment is a tool litigation attorneys use to discredit the opposing side's witnesses at trial. When said witness takes the stand under oath attys. present evidence contrary to what the witness
claims. This weakens the other side's case by discrediting impeached witnesses's testimony. Once a witness has been impeached - by presentment of inconsistent testimony - the judge/jury can no longer use the impeached witnesses's testimony in reaching a verdict.
Simply put, they aren't trustworthy. In the case of Presidential impeachment that broad definition of impeachment applies, but the impeachment tool is used for a very different purpose. Under the Constitution, a sitting President cannot be tried in a court of law for anything.

“He’s just not worth it” is brilliant messaging.

Setting aside the actual question, this message blows up GOP messaging in advance of 2020.

Pelosi is saying to the GOP, “You want to make this election about defending that pathetic orange sniveling bully? Have fun with that.”
Pelosi goes on to say that “unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan” we shouldn’t go down the road of impeachment.

BIPARTISAN is the key word there.

“Compelling and overwhelming” evidence exists.

But Republicans stand by Trump anyway.

2/x
Our Founders anticipated someone like Trump. They never anticipated a full 50% of lawmakers would support that person no matter what.

That reality puts Pelosi and other Dem leaders in a challenging position.

Without some GOP participation, impeachment will be mere theater.
