This sequencing by @SpeakerPelosi is correct. Impeachment is one of the gravest powers of Congress. It should always be our last option. If @POTUS doesn’t resign or if @VP doesn’t invoke the 25th Amendment, then we will Impeach. Tomorrow we introduce the Article of Impeachment. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

We are now at *210* cosponsors of the Article of Impeachment drafted by @davidcicilline, @RepRaskin, me & @HouseJudiciary staff. We urge @POTUS to do the right thing and resign. Otherwise, Trump will make history as the only President to be impeached twice, by two Congresses. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Trump incited a violent mob that: -Killed a police officer -Beat multiple officers -Attempted to assassinate the @VP -Attempted to assassinate the Speaker -Hunted for lawmakers And @GOPLeader wants us to forget about Jan 6 and move on? NO. We must #ImpeachandRemove @POTUS. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

The President told them to come to DC on Jan 6 to stop the steal. He told them to march to the Capitol. He told them to fight like hell. They followed his orders. The insurrectionists hunted lawmakers. They sought to hang the @VP. Multiple people died. We. Must. Impeach. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

We are now at 195 cosponsors of the Article of Impeachment: Incitement to Insurrection, drafted by Rep @davidcicilline, @RepRaskin, me & @HouseJudiciary staff. We will introduce the Article tomorrow in the House pro forma session. #SundayMorning Update — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

With every new day we learn that the violent insurrection was even worse than we thought. Impeaching @POTUS would be just the bare minimum of what needs to occur. Donald Trump should be prosecuted for a range of felonies, including inciting an insurrection and felony murder. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Holding accountable the person who incited the violent insurrection would be a great way to start a presidency. The overwhelming majority of Americans are not going to ignore the attempted coup that resulted in multiple deaths. We cannot heal until we first get justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @RepMeijer: I have not yet had the honor of meeting you. Thank you for your service to our country in the military. And thank you for your courageous OpEd. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @RepKevinBrady: When Trump incites a violent insurrection that results in multiple deaths, there is no such thing as “intemperate and inflammatory language” in responding to his seditious actions. We will never unify without first having justice. Prepare for his impeachment. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

We have videos of the speech where @POTUS incites the mob. We have videos of the mob violently attacking the Capitol. This isn’t a close call. That’s why we have over 190 cosponsors of the Article of Impeachment drafted by @davidcicilline, @RepRaskin, me & @HouseJudiciary staff. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @GOPLeader, @SteveScalise & @GOP: We can’t unite as a country if we ignore the violent insurrection and move on. We must hold all those responsible for the attempted coup that threatened Members of Congress and resulted in multiple deaths. That begins with removing @POTUS. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

We will hold responsible everyone involved with the attempted coup, including the attorney to @POTUS, Rudy Giuliani. Letter from Rep @MondaireJones and me to New York State Bar requesting they investigate @RudyGiulianli to disbar him. https://t.co/ZnJBVhBDYE — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE to the update: We’ve just hit 180 cosponsors of the Article of Impeachment drafted by Rep @davidcicilline, @RepRaskin, me and @HouseJudiciary staff. We will introduce the Article of Impeachment this Monday during the House’s pro forma session. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

The most powerful man in the world pressured an elections investigator to commit election fraud. @POTUS also incited an attempted coup that resulted in multiple deaths, including a police officer. Some in @GOP want Congress to do nothing but issue stern statements. Really? — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

This Thursday @RepJimmyPanetta, @RepCarbajal & I sent letter to Acting SecDef at @DeptofDefense requesting that he put additional constraints on the ability of @POTUS to launch nuclear weapons. That’s what SecDef Schlesinger did at end of Nixon presidency. https://t.co/2iuy92N8QK — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Watch this video. Some @GOP legislators think we “heal” our nation by ignoring what happened on Jan 6. NO. We heal our nation by holding those responsible for the coup attempt, starting with the man who incited it: Donald Trump. If Trump doesn’t resign, he must be impeached. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

We have already learned and will continue to learn that what happened on Jan 6, Insurrection Day, is even worse than we knew. Congress’ response cannot simply be giving speeches with gravitas. Unless Trump resigns or is removed through the 25th Amendment, we must impeach. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

In less than 48 hours, 173 Members have already coauthored the Article of Impeachment written by Rep @davidcicilline, @RepRaskin, me & @HouseJudiciary staff. We urge Trump to resign. If he does not, he will be the first @POTUS in history to be impeached twice, by two Congresses. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

The below is another reason why we can’t ignore the insurrection on Jan 6. Doing nothing only emboldens Trump and his domestic terrorists. Writing strongly worded press statements does not count as action. If @VP remains complicit & doesn’t invoke 25A, then we must impeach. — PolitiTweet.org

WE CANNOT BEGIN TO HEAL OUR NATION IF WE JUST IGNORE WHAT HAPPENED ON JANUARY 6. DOING NOTHING IS NOT AN OPTION. (And sternly worded press releases don’t count as action). — PolitiTweet.org
