Dear @realDonaldTrump: You admitted on national TV that you solicited the Ukrainian leader to investigate your opponent. You are also stopping the #WhistleblowerComplaint from going to Congress, which is required by law.

That's why there is an #impeachment inquiry against you. https://t.co/r0WgyK5Nbs— Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) September 24, 2019

We have been informed by the whistleblower’s counsel that their client would like to speak to our committee and has requested guidance from the Acting DNI as to how to do so.

We‘re in touch with counsel and look forward to the whistleblower’s testimony as soon as this week.

MCCONNELL has hotlined the resolution calling for the release of the whistleblower report. Schumer asking for unanimous consent for its passsage.

News organizations “privilege the lie” when they let Trump shift the blame to Biden on Ukraine. https://t.co/DaPJE1e7xM

“National security is the scaffolding upon which Democrats can build their message for impeachment.” ⁦@fdwilkinson⁩ https://t.co/Ar7xgS9S1f

To say there was no crime is not a slam-dunk defense in an impeachment case.

Article 2, Section 4: The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Given what we know about how Trump pressures and manipulates civil servants to tow his line, I'm not *quite* sure we can trust the transcript itself as being accurate/comprehensive.

Nixon released his own transcripts of the Oval Office tapes — which turned out to be wildly misleading. https://t.co/CZp8hlnAbA

Impeachment must include AG Barr for coverups and SecState Pompeo re Ukraine — along with President Trump. Others as their involvement becomes apparent. This is beyond a one man show!

Honored to be in this company. My impeachment book with @JoshuaMatz8 is of course now more pertinent than ever. https://t.co/KXQ7ey5HED
