BREAKING: Nadler has just recessed the committee until tomorrow at 10am for final votes on articles of impeachment.

Doug Collins is haranguing Nadler for not consulting him.

“This is the kangaroo court we’re talking about,” Collins says.
“It’s so they can be on TV,” @RepMikeJohnson shouts.
@RepMikeJohnson To be clear: the committee approved the amendment in the nature of a substitute just now by voice vote (it’s just procedural).

That sets up the two votes on the two articles of impeachment tomorrow at 10am.

McConnell on the Senate floor just now: “Speaker Pelosi’s House just gave into a temptation that every other House in our history has managed to resist. They impeach a president and they do not allege a crime...”
McConnell, picking apart the obstruction of Congress article of impeachment, says Dems impeached Trump for asserting exec privilege.

But Trump never formally claimed executive privilege. His WH counsel wrote a letter saying the admin would not comply with any requests/subpoenas.
Doesn’t sound like McConnell is backing down, as Pelosi seeks to delay naming impeachment managers to pressure McConnell to conduct a “fair” trial.

“Only these House Democrats decided due process was too much work. They’d rather impeach with no proof,” McConnell says.

BREAKING: Donald Trump has been impeached, with @SpeakerPelosi banging the gavel. The House passed the first article, charging Trump with abuse of power, 230-197-1.
@SpeakerPelosi Wow. Some Dems started applauding and Pelosi gave them a stern look and raised her arm.

#BREAKING: 2020 Democrat Presidential contender, @TulsiGabbard , is NOT at the Capitol and will NOT be voting for #Impeachment of @POTUS @realDonaldTrump

Instead, it’s being reported by @abc and @thehill she will introduce a much “milder” resolution tomorrow to “censure”
A resolution to censure, is a formal process that the House of Representatives can invoke INSTEAD OF #impeachment.

Such a resolution would essentially be a written “reprimand” but falls well short of impeachment and removal.

It is a rational position to take for a Democrat.
One could think of it as a “write up” or similar job performance evaluation but it is not punitive.

It also would not alienate the 63 million Americans that voted for President Trump and could be seen as a “healing” or “unifying” gesture; like an “off-ramp” for Dems

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.”

🔥It’sGameOn!🔥

The House has opened an impeachment investigation against Trump

The House filed a petition to access to redacted portions of the MR re GJ testimony re Trump’s knowledge of criminal acts, RU interference in the 2016Elex election & RU connex to his campaign.
🔥It’sGameOn2🔥

Finally, the committee seeks grand jury testimony about actions taken by former WH counsel Donald McGahn; this last request probably anticipates the committee’s rumored plans to seek an order compelling McGahn to testify.

#ObstructionOfJustice
🔥It’sGameOn3🔥

It is settled law that House committees can obtain GJ materials as part of the impeachment inquiry.

The Constitution’s text and structure — supported by judicial precedent & prior practice — show that impeachment is a process, not a single vote & IT IS UNDERWAY!
