Adam Schiff tweet:





As @SpeakerPelosi has said, the House is going to hold the President accountable.

We’re also going to work on healthcare, infrastructure, and more.

The President’s temper tantrum just shows how terrified he is of the former, and how little he cares about the latter.

1. If Dems play this right, they keep passing Bills in the House

Maybe the media finally will pay attention to what they are trying to do outside of Mueller, and keep pressure on the Senate to pass them and for POTUS to sign them.

3. Just impeach the dude and get it over with.

There's plenty of evidence to support impeachment AS IS. If you consider that one of the Articles of Impeachment against Richard Nixon was "lying to the American people," it's clear that Trump is utterly impeachable and that he becomes more impeachable every day. Just get it done. Then it's Mitch McConnell's problem, and Democrats can say with a straight face that they did their Constitutional duty. Instead of talking about Trump, Democrats can then focus on the issues that matter to the American people.

I hate seeing all these committees focusing on investigating a person that the American people already know is a lying scoundrel. Just impeach him, already, and then get on with the business of the people. Whether or not Trump is convicted by the Senate is irrelevant. That will be Mitch McConnell's problem. I am sick and tired of talking about the President's criminality. Let the Republicans talk about it instead. If we impeach him in the House (the only Constitutional power we have as a party), then we can be done with it and focus on other issues.
