From the department of proving you can walk and chew gum: House Democrats announce they'll vote on the Lower Drug Costs Now Act (named for the late @RepCummings) next week. The bill gives Medicare the power to negotiate drug prices, among other things. — PolitiTweet.org

Speaker Pelosi was already scheduled to have a press conference today but has added a special statement on the impeachment inquiry at 9 am. This comes after House Dems met yesterday and “overwhelmingly indicated that they want to continue to advance the inquiry,” per an aide. — PolitiTweet.org

Professor Karlan just took a moment in the hearings to apologize for her comments on Barron Trump earlier -- saying that Trump could name him Barron but couldn't make him a baron. She had come under fire from @FLOTUS and @RepMattGaetz, among others. — PolitiTweet.org

.@jamie_raskin, a former Constitutional law professor, now asking questions of his former colleagues. Earlier @benyc and I saw him whip out a well-worn copy of the Federalist Papers as a Republican lawmaker quoted from them. — PolitiTweet.org

Turley also argues the Democrats haven't established obstruction of Congress because they aren't waiting for courts to rule. Chides them for trying to set the record for the fastest impeachment. — PolitiTweet.org
Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan
Turley giving extended testimony now as GOP gets their 45 minutes for Collins and staff counsel to ask questions. If you're going to accuse the president of bribery, you've got to make it stick because you're trying to remove a duly elected president of the United States he says. — PolitiTweet.org

.@ProducerKimB reports that @LeaderHoyer told reporters he thinks there's time to vote on impeachment before the end of the year *if* the Judiciary Committee comes forward with recommendations in a timeframe in which the vote can be done. 2.5 weeks left in session. — PolitiTweet.org

Question from Eisen that gets at one of the GOP arguments: Does the fact that Ukrainian aid was ultimately released matter? Feldman says no: "If the president attempts to abuse his office, that is a complete impeachable offense." An unsuccessful attempt is still an attempt. — PolitiTweet.org

Latest GOP motion to slow down the @HouseJudiciary hearing from @GReschenthaler: to subpoena the whistleblower. It was once again tabled with a party line vote. — PolitiTweet.org
Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan
In his full stmt, Turley says the Trump-Zelensky call was not "perfect" and reference to the Bidens was "inappropriate" but that it's not impeachable. "To impeach a president on such a record would be to expose every future president to the same type of inchoate impeachment." — PolitiTweet.org

Next up, GOP witness and GW Prof. Jonathan Turley: "This would be the first impeachment in history...[without] compelling evidence of commission of a crime." — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats go 3/3 on their witnesses. UNC Law Prof. Gerhardt: "If Congress fails to impeach here, then the impeachment process has lost all meaning, and, along with that, our Constitution’s carefully crafted safeguards against the establishment of a king on American soil." — PolitiTweet.org
Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan
Second Democratic witness is equally forceful on whether Trump has committed impeachable offenses. Stanford Prof. Pamela Karlan: "Drawing a foreign government into our election process is an especially serious abuse of power because it undermines democracy itself." — PolitiTweet.org

Audible laughter in the room as @RepArmstrongND motions to postpone today's hearing to a later date. Committee now voting on a motion to table the request. — PolitiTweet.org
