Nancy PelosiVerified account

I’m also addressing this to the ~140 @HouseDemocrats who haven’t publicly called for one yet...and, yes, to the ~200 Republican members, as futile as that may be.

Also: Yes, I’m aware there’s zero chance 20 Senate Republicans would vote to remove him from office. You should at least begin an inquiry anyway, just as you should pass good legislation in the House even if there’s no chance of Mitch McConnell allowing a vote in the Senate.

for the love of all there is Nancy - it is your duty to call for an inquiry - u must stop him - Nancy come on

We must do it now. We’re not going to have time once they go on break. We must open the inquiry now.

We must #CancelRecess to save our democracy

Nadler stand up there points out trump committed crimes.. his next words needed to be "we have no choice but to open immediate impeachment hearings" what the hell is wrong with them?

I would love to see him impeached....however would the Senate vote to remove? I don’t think so. Then tRump couldn’t be charged as a civilian. (I think.) it’s a big decision. They don’t want to fudge it up.

Impeachment clauses don't say "house should only impeach if senate will convict" House Impeachment is a Grand Jury Indictment. So we should not indict criminals unless we know they'll get convicted? It is appropriate no matter what senate does.

Thank you David. I have been trying to educate people on this. Pelosi is trying to make a political calculation but she is failing her duty. Nixon impeachment hearings started w/ low public support and Congress with no idea of political support in House!!

You’re going to be in Court during an impeachment inquiry regardless of whether you get the executive privilege rulings you’re seeking. I believe you’ll win these cases but good forbid you lose. You need to begin an impeachment inquiry now, Madame Speaker.

Than open #ImpeachmentInquiry or step down

Yes! Open up impeachment hearings! Dare you! Guarantees @realDonaldTrump re-election
