During debate on House impeachment rules @DevinNunes claims that the majority is "acting like a cult" who are "loyally following their leader." Most have said that is how Trump defenders like Nunes are acting in ignoring the substance of his actions and attacking the procedure.
.@RepRaskin says that the House impeachment inquiry has "uncovered a substantial body of evidence"that Trump "has violated the Constitution by putting his political interests above the interests of the country."
Instead of addressing the substance of the impeachment inquiry @Jim_Jordan attacks the whistleblower and how the complaint was brought to Congress. He complains that the resolution, which would have open hearings, gives power to a "secret" process.
.@RepDougCollins complains that during the impeachment inquiry, "our committee (Judiciary) has been neutered." "I do not know what happened to our committee but it still exists."
.@RepLizCheney says involving the Intelligence Committee in the impeachment inquiry leaves America vulnerable to outside threats. (The committee continues to serve its national security function while investigating Trump's violations).
.@SpeakerPelosi: "I doubt anybody in this place, or anybody that you know, comes to Congress to take the oath of office, comes to Congress to impeach the President of the United States. Unless his actions are jeopardizing our honoring our oath of office."
.@SpeakerPelosi: "I don't know why Republicans are afraid of the truth. Every American should support allowing the American people to hear the facts for themselves. That is really what this vote is about."
.@RepJerryNadler: "I support this resolution because it is indefensible for any official to demand an ally ... investigate his or her's political adversaries."
