The Jordan amendment to strike article 1 entirely failed on a 23-17 party-line vote. Next up, @RepMattGaetz moves to strike a reference to Joe Biden and add a reference to Hunter Biden and Burisma. https://t.co/juVn3v5OIP — PolitiTweet.org

You'd really hope that 3 months into impeachment everyone would have learned that it's "Ukraine" not "the Ukraine." (I guess you'd also hope that everyone had learned to pronounce @DevinNunes' name, but some things are just perennially impossible). — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepKenBuck argues that an investigation by the Ukrainians is of such "nebulous" value that it wouldn't meet the standards of bribery statues. — PolitiTweet.org

@HouseJudiciary @RepDougCollins @RepJerryNadler And we have our first roll call vote of the day: a motion to table (kill) the @RepDougCollins appeal of @RepJerryNadler ruling that he does not need to schedule a minority hearing day before the markup proceeds. — PolitiTweet.org
Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan
@HouseJudiciary @RepDougCollins @RepJerryNadler Nadler says he is not required to schedule the hearing on a particular day (implication: he could schedule the hearing anytime before the end of this Congress next year). — PolitiTweet.org

The @HouseJudiciary markup of the articles of impeachment resumes this morning. The committee just heard the articles read aloud, and now @RepDougCollins is bringing up once again that @RepJerryNadler has not scheduled a minority hearing day. — PolitiTweet.org

Follow along with the @HouseJudiciary markup of the articles of impeachment. Tonight: committee members get to make 5 minute opening statements. Tomorrow: amendments (Dems probably have none; Republicans probably have a handful): https://t.co/cWm3hA6HzG — PolitiTweet.org

@heatherscope I once baked something that called for chocolate wafer cookies, and the recipe author suggested using the cookie part of Oreos if you couldn't find them. I got to eat a bag full of middles. It was amazing (if a little stomachache-inducing by the end). — PolitiTweet.org

.@SpeakerPelosi nonplussed by Republicans who say she has bid her majority goodbye with impeachment. @apalmerdc: Do you think you keep the House in 2020? @SpeakerPelosi: "Oh, definitely." — PolitiTweet.org
Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan
"This isn't about politics or giving the president a win...if we have an opportunity to do the right thing by the American people [I don't think] that we should walk away from it because of him. It's not worth it," @SpeakerPelosi says of giving Trump a win on USMCA. — PolitiTweet.org

"This abuse of office served to cover up the President's own repeated misconduct and to seize and control the power of impeachment-and thus to nullify a vital constitutional safeguard vested solely in the House of Representatives." — PolitiTweet.org
Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan
"In the history of the Republic, no President has ever ordered the complete defiance of an impeachment inquiry or sought to obstruct and impede so comprehensively the ability of the House of Representatives to investigate 'high crimes and Misdemeanors.'" — PolitiTweet.org
Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan
On obstruction: "Through these actions, President Trump sought to arrogate to himself the right to determine the propriety, scope, and nature of an impeachment inquiry into his own conduct, as well as the unilateral prerogative to deny any and all information to the House." — PolitiTweet.org

P. 5: “Wherefore President Trump, by such conduct, has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to national security and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office.” — PolitiTweet.org

“Nothing on that phone call was wrong,” @GOPLeader says. And that’s the most basic divide we see on impeachment between Democrats and Republicans. Republicans say there was nothing wrong with the call; Democrats see it as some of their best evidence to impeach Trump. — PolitiTweet.org
Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan
.@GOPLeader declines to answer a Q on whether the Trump-Zelensky call was “perfect,” saying instead that it’s not impeachable. — PolitiTweet.org

“It is not difficult to defend this president but it is very difficult to defend this Congress and history will not look kindly,” @GOPLeader reiterates. — PolitiTweet.org

.@GOPLeader also says most of the Democratic witnesses were donors, though that’s only true of the attorneys who testified before @HouseJudiciary. The fact witnesses to testify before @HouseIntel were largely apolitical government employees. — PolitiTweet.org

Citing efforts to entice Ukraine to announce an investigation into his political rival, the articles say Trump “used the power of the presidency in a manner that compromised the national security of the United States and undermined the integrity of the... democratic process.” — PolitiTweet.org
