Here’s the list of witnesses that House Judiciary Republicans want to subpoena for testimony in the impeachment inquiry. Democrats effectively control whether they will get to testify, because @RepJerryNadler can back up his decision with a vote of the committee. https://t.co/gVtve8l3IZ — PolitiTweet.org

"Your impeachment inquiry is completely baseless and has violated basic principles of due process and fundamental fairness...you should end this inquiry now and not waste even more time with additional hearings." — PolitiTweet.org

Will the White House participate in next week's @HouseJudiciary hearing where @HouseIntel presents their report? Looking ahead to next week with @jillcolvin: https://t.co/gb61lWjMUe — PolitiTweet.org

"Whatever you want to eventually have, I don't think you should do away with the Affordable Care Act to get there," @SpeakerPelosi says in response to a smart Q asking what she thinks of Dem presidential candidates who want to do away with the ACA. #PelosiTownHall — PolitiTweet.org

Now for your non-impeachment news: "USMCA will be passed when we have the language that has enforcement in it...we're not at that place," Pelosi says. She cites issues related to the environment, pharmaceutical drugs, workers rights. #PelosiTownHall — PolitiTweet.org

.@SpeakerPelosi suggests that America may heal from its divisions "through the arts" -- music, theater, poetry that encourages people to talk to one another. #PelosiTownHall — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

34 minutes into the #PelosiTownHall. "Can we not have any more questions about impeachment?" Quite the ask on a day you've announced that the House will go ahead with drafting articles of impeachment. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Audience member asks an important question that has come up - what if evidence of impeachable offenses arise later in Trump's presidency or in a second term? Pelosi won't engage on it. "Let's not even contemplate that," she says. #PelosiTownHall — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Also noting her comments here are from the #pelositownhall on CNN right now (h/t fave CNN employee @adamplevy) — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

.@SpeakerPelosi also declines to weigh in on a debate happening among House Democrats right now -- whether to include elements of Trump's conduct from the Mueller report as an impeachable offense. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

.@SpeakerPelosi, reflecting on resisting calls to impeach Bush, said people wanted to impeach Clinton "for being stupid" and she didn't want it to become a way of life in the U.S. She didn't believe misrepresenting WMDs in Iraq rose to the level of an impeachable offense. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

.@RepDougCollins writes to @RepJerryNadler once again to insist on the GOP right to hold a hearing day with minority witnesses before articles of impeachment are considered in the committee: https://t.co/XlU4nBCtCB — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s the White House response to @SpeakerPelosi’s announcement this morning that the House will move forward with drafting articles of impeachment —> https://t.co/r0kKpnK4gC — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Per @alanhe, @LindseyGrahamSC is declining a request by @RepJimBanks to subpoena phone records from @RepAdamSchiff, @JoeBiden and others. "When we start looking into each other's phone records and who we talked to that gets to be chaos and I will have no part of that.” — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

.@mkraju goes back to basics trying to ask @GOPLeader about propriety of Trump asking Ukrainians to investigate Biden. He dodges, focuses instead on request to ask the Ukrainians to investigate 2016 election. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

.@GOPLeader now arguing Democrats have a timeline of events related to Ukraine but no proof so they brought in law professors yesterday. Quote Turley a lot but plays up that others were Dem donors. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Yesterday Trump began arguing for the first time he was asking the Ukrainians to do the United States a favor with investigations, not a personal favor. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Also @GOPLeader says once again we wouldn’t be here if @SpeakerPelosi has waited for the Trump-Zelensky call memo — but Dems do take issue with the call memo. They say the call (and the words “do us a favor”) are the best evidence of an attempted quid pro quo. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

.@GOPLeader starts off with a historical reference of his own, citing Alexander Hamilton’s concerns about partisan impeachment. Now says @SpeakerPelosi has “weakened” the country with her announcement the House will move forward with articles of impeachment. https://t.co/Ogay0We9cX — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Here’s video of that moment —> — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

.@SpeakerPelosi gets into a testy exchange with a reporter who asks if she hates Trump as she is walking out. “As a Catholic I resent your suing the word hate ina sentence...I don’t hate anyone...don’t mess with me when it comes to words like that.” — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

“The president gave us no choice,” @SpeakerPelosi tells @nancycordes when asked whether she is concerned an impeachment vote will divide the country. “He’s the one who’s dividing the country on this.” — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

“This isn’t about Ukraine. This is about Russia,” @SpeakerPelosi says of impeachment at her weekly press conference when asked what her “aha” moment was for impeachment. “All roads lead to Putin,” she said, saying they benefited from Ukraine’s lack of military aid. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

.@HouseJudiciary will hold its next impeachment hrg 12/9 to receive presentations on the @HouseIntel the report released earlier this week. The announcement comes less than 2 hours after @SpeakerPelosi announced she was instructing her chairmen to craft articles of impeachment. — PolitiTweet.org
