[BigmanPigman]

5. I thought she was the one who finally realized she was wrong...

28. I see what you did there. Funny.

7. Mine FINALLY joined the ranks yesterday.

I called and called her local and DC numbers for forever it seems but NOTHING happened! Yesterday I resorted to email. I personally like to think that my single email did the trick...

[riversedge]

14. Rep Ron Kind, WI is NOT on the list. I will have to give his offices a call!

[BigmanPigman]

18. And Tulsi.

I think she is beyond hope though. Not worth the time and energy.

[StevieM]

41. Here is another good site to check out. It updates regularly.

https://www.politico.com/interactives/2019/house-reps-who-would-vote-for-trump-impeachment-our-latest-list/

We are currently up to 220, between the 219 Democrats and independent Justin Amash.

[Danascot]

61. Politico's 219

includes Lucy McBath D-Ga who is not on NBC's list.

218 is a majority but hey Congress-kids, everybody on the bus!

[Ohiogal]

55. Maybe it did!

Well done, BigmanPigman!

39. Here is another good list, one that regularly updates.

It is currently up to 220. 219 Democrats and independent Justin Amash.

[deurbano]

42. I've been refreshing that page frequently since yesterday!

[DENVERPOPS]

45. I think it is equally important

to know which Dems DID NOT VOTE FOR IMPEACHMENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

49. Ha! This one?

[Va Lefty]

59. No, this one

[FailureToCommunicate]

63. Nice!

[ffr]

8. This will begin bleeding into the red Rusky-Loving representatives soon too I predict.

Sounds like what the whistleblower had was ironclad proof, backed up with witnesses and further hard documentation.

Any mention of Pence's interactions with Zelensky on tRump's behalf?

[StarfishSaver]

20. Yes

Pelos's going to pluck a few RS for her quiver ...

[onetexan]

9. All Dems + 1 independent. Not a single Republican. Spineless.

[PoliticAverse]

10. Will there be a formal vote of the whole House to start an impeachment inquiry? n/t

[StarfishSaver]

21. Probably not. There's no need for one.

[demigoddess]

11. hooray!

that is why we vote democratic!

[dalton99a]

12. Kick

[Qutzupalotl]

13. And that's BEFORE the official investigation.

Although I want to see Trump gone immediately, a few weeks of daily hearings exposing Trump’s lawless behavior could turn up the heat on the Senate. Fingers crossed.

Link to tweet

[riversedge]

17. umm.. That seems rather high to me.

[Qutzupalotl]

24. Me too. But daily revelations could give cover to some on the fence.

If I were in their shoes, I would HATE to have someone holding kompromat on me. I might not speak out publicly, but if I saw a way to end this quickly, I might be tempted.

Let’s show Trump’s behavior to be as radioactive and indefensible as it deserves. That looks like the plan.

[bearsfootball516]

27. He's pretty universally hated amongst GOP elected officials

A secret, anonymous vote would allow GOP senators to vote for conviction, then be able to go back to their constituents and say “I love Trump, of course I voted against removal!” And avoid any blowback because nobody knows who actually voted for removal.

[Qutzupalotl]

64. Update: Jeff Flake thinks the number is low.

Link to tweet

“I heard someone say if there were a private vote there would be 30 Republican votes. That's not true," Flake said during a Q&A. "There would be at least 35."
_____________

FORMER Sen. Flake probably would have been #36.

[Miles Archer]

15. Speaker Pelosi was SMART. She waited, and yes, it was frustrating, but here it is...

...gift-wrapped with a lovely ribbon and bow FROM TRUMP HIMSELF.

The House doesn't need to go ANYWHERE NEAR the Mueller Report, Emoluments, anything that came before the whistleblower.

It's ALL...RIGHT...HERE.

[StarfishSaver]

22. Exactly

If they'd tried to impeach just based on the Mueller report, it would have failed, and it would have been over and done with now, with no second bite at the apple.

[MFGsunny]

32. And, NATIONAL SECURITY is center-stage as a bonus. Trump is a clear & present danger.

He showed he is more than willing to ACTUALLY trade, only for his exclusive and venal political gain, taxpayer funds appropriated to support one of our allies for their and our international security against our mutual enemy that is Russia.

WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT!

This clear and present danger is like guillotine material right out of other well-known revolutions.

[orangecrush]

33. Precisely.

[Ligyron]

52. What about his stonewalling of other investigative bodies seeking evidence?

All that goes by the wayside and the House and the whole country focus on this one Issue? Better hope that goes really, really well.

And yeah, what about his violations of the Emoluments and the obstruction and other matters detailed in the Mueller Report plus a myriad of other matters involving his AG, Pompy Minus and others?

[malaise]

16. Here we go!

[riversedge]

19. Now 219 Rep. Sharice Davids just tweeted her support for impeachment.............

Rep. Sharice Davids
@RepDavids
After careful deliberation, I'm supporting the House of Representatives taking the first step in an impeachment process, beginning an impeachment inquiry.

Here’s why.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

25. Supporting the inquiry is not the same as supporting actual impeachment.

Stop counting your chickens.

[sarisataka]

30. There is a lot

Of premature celebration going on.

[orangecrush]

34. ...

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

35. Well, let's see.

I remember Fitzmas.

And Mueller time.

Lots of premature celebrations then, just like now.

[orangecrush]

38. Formerly demoralized democrats

Are shedding their sackcloths.


Join the party!

(No pun intended.)

[smirkymonkey]

62. I have to admit, this is hopeful, but I am not cracking the champagne open yet.

I remember what you do, and how Trump and the republicans manage to weasel their way out of every crime they have ever committed.

I am not celebrating until it's a done deal. I can't bear to be heartbroken again. I just don't trust the system anymore.

Our people are doing the right thing, but I never underestimate their ability to lie and cheat their way out of every pickle they have ever been in. I really fucking hate them with a passion.

[riversedge]

40. As the OP says--the number is for the impeachment Inquiry.. But your point is well taken. I try

not to count my chickies until they are hatched.

Yesterday, the House officially launched a formal impeachment inquiry into President Trump. This administration has continuously obstructed and stonewalled all attempts by Congress to seek information and testimony from ongoing investigations.

@DwightEvansPA

Stymying our Constitutional authority of oversight as a co-equal branch of the government. And now, allegations of attempting to use the power of the presidency against another country, in the context of withholding funds that Congress approved, to investigate -

Replying to @DwightEvansPA

a political opponent is incredibly serious and must be thoroughly investigated. To do otherwise would betray the very foundations of our democracy. No one is above the law including the President. Let’s be clear: I have been for an impeachment inquiry since 2017 -

@DwightEvansPA

and with every action by the President, more and more members have come to see that an impeachment inquiry is necessary. It's our duty to work for the citizens of this country as written into the Constitution created here in Philadelphia 243 years ago. History is watching. - DE

29. Impeachment is certain

Time to think about removing the crook from office.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!! or

Either way, welcome to the revolution!!!

44. Majority of House supports impeachment inquiry

A majority of the House now backs impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump, a significant milestone as Democrats move rapidly on an impeachment inquiry.

As of Wednesday night, 218 lawmakers have indicated support for impeachment proceedings — 217 Democrats and independent Rep. Justin Amash.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi offered full-throated support for impeachment proceedings amid outrage over Trump pressuring Ukraine to investigate the Biden family, leading to a surge of support among Democrats this week.

[Uncle Joe]

46. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread riversedge.

[Politicub]

47. Yes!!

[Joe941]

50. We are going to remove the nightmare!

[book_worm]

51. No, he might be impeached but I still don't think the Senate will convict him

so he probably won't be removed. But it's still the right thing to do to impeach.

[brooklynite]

53. WRONG!

some of these people are supportive of an Inquiry but have not committed to voting in support of articles of impeachment.

[Turin_C3PO]

57. We'll get there soon enough.

Bet on it.

[SidneyR]

56. What about the Senate?

Impeachment in the House is only step one. Conviction in the Senate is necessary to finalize the impeachment. That won't happen. We can't even get Repubs in the House to act; the Senate won't convict. Trump will claim final exoneration--exactly what Speaker Pelosi was concerned about from the beginning. Slow-walking the impeachment hearings is the best strategy, but don't send it to the Senate.

[book_worm]

58. Impeachment is good, but, yes, without senate conviction he will remain in office

and frankly I don't see the 2/3 of the Senate convicting him.

[Flaleftist]

60. Just confirmed on TRMS!
