@GOPLeader
: Look at what San Francisco is known for today:
• Sky-high taxes
• Sanctuary city
• Sidewalks people do not even want to walk on
This is what Biden & Harris want for America.
SIX FACTS that sink Dems' case:
•Transcript shows no conditionality
•Zelensky: no quid pro quo/pressure
•Ukraine didn't know of aid pause
•No Dem witness testified that POTUS said any conditionality
•Ukraine got aid, did nothing for it
•Trump strengthened Ukraine support
While speaking at his funeral 10 years ago today, Speaker Pelosi called former Ku Klux Klan member Sen. Robert Byrd:
∙ friend
∙ great person
∙ great American patriot
.
@GOPLeader
: "Every time this President is strengthening our nation - they're sabotaging democracy."
∙ 9/24: POTUS at UN, Pelosi announces impeachment
∙ 12/4: POTUS at NATO, Dems hold hearing with law professors
∙ 1/15: POTUS signs China deal, Pelosi sends articles articles
WATCH:
@RepDLesko
: "17 out of 24 of my Democratic colleagues that have already voted on the House floor to continue with articles of impeachment."
"You guys have been wanting to impeach this president since he got elected."
Think Democrats are "solemn" about impeaching President Trump?
Here's Dem Rep. Raskin two days BEFORE Trump was even inaugurated...
This was their plan from day one.

@RepDougCollins
SLAMS the "Schiff Report"
-For the Mueller report, Mueller testified.
-For the Ken Starr report, Starr testified.
"The author of the Schiff report isn't here. ... I guess that's what you get when you're making up impeachment as you go."
WATCH:
Sen. Hirono, who has already said she will "vote to convict him," tells CNN that House Dems didn't do their job:
"If we were following the Clinton precedent, there would have been all of this discovery done at the House level, and that's not what's happening at all."
WATCH:
@GOPLeader
: "What we voted on Thursday is not due process, there's no transparency."
"FOUR days later, the Democrats are right back at it. In the basement of the Capitol having FOUR more depositions - secret - that the public can't see."
.
@RepLeeZeldin
: LEAKED testimony "is not firsthand from Ambassador Taylor, it's not secondhand from Ambassador, it's not THIRD-hand from Ambassador Taylor..."
"On the process and the substance, this whole thing has been a JOKE."
.
@GOPLeader
: Democrats say Soleimani was a bad guy, BUT
I want to hear them saying he was a bad guy BECAUSE
• He was responsible for 600+ American deaths in Iraq
• He was responsible for Dec death of American
• He went after our embassy in Baghdad
• He attacked tankers
❗WATCH:
Joe Biden argued in 1999: The Senate does not need to "take new evidence or hear live witness testimony"
Why should the Biden Rule not apply here?
WATCH:
@GOPLeader
: "The Democrats are not concerned about facts- only focus groups."
"We're not sure what word they'll use today, because they change it from quid pro quo to bribery. Wherever the focus group tells them is where they'll want to continue to move."

@Repmattgaetz
: So far, Adam Schiff's impeachment inquiry has been marked by:
→ Secret interviews
→ Selective leaks
→ Weird theatrical performances of transcripts that never happened
→ Lies about contacts with the whistleblower
Can't make it up.
@60Minutes
's

carrying water for Biden before the interview even airs.
Pelley claims Biden had to "wedge" the interview into his busy schedule.
He had a 10am briefing and a 4:30 meeting that day. That's it.

@RepMoBrooks
:
"What the Socialist Democrats seek to do today is to thwart, to disregard, to repudiate the votes of 60 million Americans in the 2016 elections."
"We demand open proceedings; the American people deserve nothing less."
I’m outraged and dismayed that some of my colleagues object to helping Israel defend itself from rocket attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists.
America must support our ally Israel.

@GOPLeader

"There is no way Eric Swalwell should continue to serve on the Intel Committee."
"I'm going to request that every single member on the House Intelligence Committee gets the exact same briefing from the FBI that I did."

@RepMaxRose
pushes Democrats' BACKWARDS justice yet again.
"The president says he is innocent, so all we are saying is ‘prove it.’"
Where else in America does this happen?
WATCH:
@GOPLeader
: There is no greater contrast than:
what House Democrats are doing today & what President Trump is accomplishing on the other side of Pennsylvania Ave.
WATCH:
Did the President ever tell you personally about any preconditions for anything?
Sondland: "No"
The President never you told about any preconditions for the aid to be released?
"No"
The President never told about any preconditions for a WH meeting?
"Personally no"
WATCH:
@RepMikeTurner
raises the most important question today:
"If your answer's YES, then the Chairman is wrong and the headline on CNN is wrong.
"NO ONE on this planet told you that President Trump is tying aid to investigations: yes or no?"
Sondland: "Yes"
Here's
@RepCharlieCrist
's request for a proxy to vote for him.
He says he's "unable to physically attend proceedings in the House Chamber due to the ongoing health emergency"
But he was sure excited to attend the space launch today in Florida!
"Impartial Juror" Sen. Warren tells reporter in OCTOBER that she would convict President Trump:
"Have you seen enough evidence so far to impeach - have you seen enough evidence to convict, yourself?
Sen. Warren: "Yes."
Here's Joe Biden calling John Bolton a liar & says no Senator would even hire staffers if they were like Bolton.
"Well, I don't want my lawyer and I don't want any lawyer saying something to help my case by lying, deliberately lying about my opponent."
NEW stmt from
@JoeBiden
: "Today, we learned from John Bolton, the President’s former national security advisor, that President Trump sold out the American people to protect his political future."
WATCH:
@SenTedCruz
sums up Chairman Schiff, impeachment, and what to expect from
#SOTU
:
"The Democratic Party today is defined by one thing - hatred for Donald Trump."
Biden REFUSES to say when he'll be transparent about the border crisis:
"I will commit to transparency as soon as I'm in a position to implement what we're doing right now."
Reporter: "How soon will that be?"
Biden: "I don't know, to be clear."
Weird how
@nbcnews
doesn't know or care why Joe Biden's grandchildren have received money from foreign nationsls via shell companies.
It's Republicans' fault, somehow.
President Biden’s family story has long been one of his greatest strengths politically.
Republicans are starting to think they can turn it into a liability.
Wonder when
@SecretaryPete
will AGAIN simultaneously declare it's a private sector problem & say the only remedy is Democrats' multi-trillion dollar, big-government socialist bill. 🤔
WATCH:
@DevinNunes
is right on both counts:
"From the Russia hoax to this shoddy Ukrainian sequel, the Democrats got caught.
"Let’s hope they finally learn a lesson, give their conspiracy theories a rest, and focus on governing for a change."

@CNN
contributor & former Special Advisor to President Obama Van Jones tells a hard truth to House Democrats on impeachment.
"Democrats are in a lose-lose situation."

@nytimes
: "They Voted Democratic. Now They Support Trump."
"Two-thirds of battleground state voters who chose Trump in 2016 but selected Democrats in the midterms say they will return to the president next year."
Kamala Harris greets supporters in Milwaukee and encourages them to request their ballots and vote early. “We have got to get this done,” she said. “I need your help in Milwaukee.”
This resolution is a "Concurrent Resolution" - which means it is "not submitted to the president and thus do not have the force of law."
It will not affect or limit
@realDonaldTrump

The House is moving forward with
@RepSlotkin
's War Powers Resolution limiting the President’s military actions regarding Iran. The Admin must work with the Congress to advance an immediate, effective de-escalatory strategy which prevents further violence.
On the House floor today, Pelosi said: "we take it very seriously. seriously. it's not personal..."
These souvenir pens have her name etched in them... is that solemn and not personal?
So many pens that Pelosi will sign to officially transmit the articles of impeachment and sign resolution appointing House managers. Why so many? They will be given away to members like House managers as a symbol of today.

@JoeSquawk
has Democrats all figured out...
"The Democrats - it was probably a good move to do this whole impeachment stuff. Because if they had to talk about the economy and didn't have impeachment to talk about..."
The Biden admin blocked access to CBP's site which said:
"Two Yemeni Men Arrested by Border Patrol Identified on the FBI’s Terrorism Watch List."
They should block access to illegal border crossings instead.

@repdlesko
's two questions for the American people:
1: Are you sick and tired yet of this impeachment sham?
2: Would you like Congress to get back to work and get something done?
(the answer is yes to both)
Yovanovitch was NOT on the July 25 call, and didn't even see a readout until it was already public -->
"When was the first time that you saw the call record for this phone call?"
Yovanovitch: "When it was released publicly at the end of September, I believe."

Turley dismantles Dems' case for impeachment:
"If you impeach a president, if you make a high crime and misdemeanor out of going to the courts, it is an abuse of power. It's YOUR abuse of power. You're doing precisely what you're criticizing the president for doing"
President Biden says he hasn't had time to visit the border. What about when he's in Delaware each weekend?
Anderson Cooper: "Do you have plans to visit the southern border?"
Biden: "I haven't had a whole helluva lot of time to get down."
Philbin: 71/78 days POTUS was completely locked out.
"Why did they design a mechanism here where the President was locked out?"
"They weren't really interested in getting at the facts and the truth. They had a timetable to meet- they wanted have impeachment done by Christmas"

He was there to work with their proxy elements to attack Americans & allies.
