Why does this Fox News poll show surging support for impeachment? -Americans know instinctively that @realDonaldTrump betrayed our country. -Americans know it is wrong for @POTUS to cover up corruption, and to obstruct investigations. -GOP process defenses are stupid. — PolitiTweet.org

More evidence @realDonaldTrump is corrupting the Presidency to benefit himself & his friends "Tillerson immediately repeated his objections to then-Chief of Staff John Kelly in a hallway conversation just outside the Oval Office, emphasizing that the request would be illegal." — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

.@realDonaldTrump is sooooo ignorant. In 1996 I participated in Operation PACIFIC HAVEN, where the DoD airlifted Kurds out of Iraq and into Guam. Why? Because the Kurds helped US fight Saddam Hussein. Kurds also helped US fight ISIS. Kurds have been one of our strongest allies. — PolitiTweet.org

The chaotic and ineffective trade wars instigated by @realDonaldTrump have damaged the American economy. The manufacturing sector is now in a RECESSION. #WednesdayWisdom — PolitiTweet.org

@StefanMolyneux In case you didn't notice, America has an all volunteer military composed of women and men. And women and men are also parents and grandparents of those in our military. Get it? — PolitiTweet.org

Why is support for impeachment surging? -Americans instinctively know it's wrong for @realDonaldTrump to solicit foreign powers to target US citizens for political purposes -Americans know innocent people don't cover up misconduct or obstruct investigations #WednesdayThoughts — PolitiTweet.org

Hey Ralph Reed (@ralphreed): Don't lecture us on morality. — PolitiTweet.org

I did my Air Force training at Maxwell AFB in Montgomery, AL. I found the community to be very supportive and welcoming. Congratulations to Mayor-elect Steven Reed for making history. #WednesdayMotivation — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @realDonaldTrump: Why are you always taking actions, or contemplating taking actions, that benefit Russia? Withdrawing from the Open Skies Treaty helps Russia and hurts U.S. national security. Why do you kneel before Vladimir Putin? #WednesdayThoughts — PolitiTweet.org

@KMCRadio @realDonaldTrump If the Caucus decides to pass Articles of Impeachment, it would be done before the end of the year. Also I have no idea what your first sentence means. I was simply explaining to you that we are currently in an impeachment inquiry. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@KMCRadio @WillieMargie @realDonaldTrump @TheDemocrats You are certainly entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts. We are in an impeachment inquiry. Read the Constitution and House rules. It is well within our powers to do this inquiry. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@KMCRadio @realDonaldTrump You are going to be pretty surprised when we draft Articles of Impeachment. There is an impeachment inquiry right now. No requirement for a vote to do the inquiry. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@KMCRadio @WillieMargie @realDonaldTrump Actually, they are required to respond to Congressional subpoenas. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@KMCRadio @WillieMargie @realDonaldTrump Cite the law or House rule. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@KMCRadio @WillieMargie @realDonaldTrump Actually, we don't. Nothing in the law or House rules requires it. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @realDonaldTrump: In case you forgot, 7 Californian #GOP Members of Congress who backed your xenophobic, anti-health and anti-environmental policies all got fired by the voters less than a year ago. You are next. That is, if you don't get impeached and convicted first. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Congress can impeach for Obstruction. But that still doesn't allow us to compel witnesses & documents for the trial. We have the power of inherent contempt, which includes fines & jail. That would give us a chance at compliance. I remain baffled why we still don't use it. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

In less than a year and a half, we could have a real Attorney General who will go after corruption. I believe Congress should start considering offering testimonial immunity for key witnesses to try to break the massive obstruction by the Administration. #TuesdayThoughts — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

This is total BS. Ambassador Sondland is a wealthy businessman who doesn't have to remain silent. He could choose to testify, just like Watergate witnesses. The American people can draw the reasonable inference that he is covering up corruption. #TuesdayMorning Thoughts — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

If @realDonaldTrump & @SecPompeo are innocent, they wouldn't be suppressing the testimony of Amb Sondland. Instead, they are hiding information from the American people. Congress will keep investigating. We also have enough evidence right now to draft Articles of Impeachment. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @CNBC: The cost of Trump’s tariffs has fallen "entirely" on U.S. businesses and households, Goldman Sachs has said. https://t.co/71eM4vW… — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

A reminder that the tariffs imposed by @realDonaldTrump are paid for by US importers, not China or the EU. Those US businesses then typically pass all or some of the increased costs onto consumers. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Thank you Senator @RobPortman for speaking the truth. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Your regular reminder that #GOP officials are suing to eliminate the law that guarantees health care coverage for Americans with pre-existing conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

The irony is that @realDonaldTrump is shrinking the power of the president by making really stupid and extreme legal arguments that have resulted in multiple adverse court opinions against him. #MondayMorning Thoughts — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @realDonaldTrump: As a member of @SpeakerPelosi's leadership team, the only time I saw her nervous was ... actually I've never seen her nervous. Speaker Pelosi has nerves of steel, wrapped around tungsten, coated in titanium. Also, we have no idea what you are saying below. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @GOP Colleagues: Stop disrespecting @realDonaldTrump by not taking him seriously. While I oppose many of his views, at least I take Trump seriously. On private phone call with Xi, @POTUS raised issue of investigating Biden. Trump wasn't joking & @WhiteHouse doesn't deny it. — PolitiTweet.org
