It comes down to this. We’ve cut through the denials. The deflections. The nonsense. Donald Trump believes he can pressure a foreign nation to help him politically. It’s his “right.” Every Republican in Congress has to decide: Is he right? — PolitiTweet.org

After receiving a trove of important documents from the first of the state department witnesses, my fellow chairs and I highlight some of those deserving of the most attention and what is at stake. Read them here: https://t.co/kirRyA2pF1 — PolitiTweet.org

The President's continued attacks on the whistleblower are an incitement to violence — and a threat to our democracy. Let's be clear: the whistleblower did everything right. They followed all appropriate laws and procedures. And they have every legal right to remain anonymous. https://t.co/zyCOsmWmFI — PolitiTweet.org

The President cannot use the power of his office to pressure foreign leaders to investigate his political opponents. His rant this morning reinforces the urgency of our work. America is a Republic, if we can keep it. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The President shouldn't need to be told it is illegal to shoot unarmed people, many of them women and children. The mere suggestion is profoundly immoral and wrong. Trump's cruelty towards migrants will be a stain on our nation, not easily removed. This is not who we are. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

It's hard to imagine a scenario more concerning to our Founders than this: A president using the power of his office to press a foreign leader for dirt on a political opponent. But we have a system of checks and balances. And we will hold this President accountable. https://t.co/mPihdEPtUz — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

When a whistleblower seeks guidance, staff advises them to get counsel and go to an IG. That’s what they’re supposed to do. Unlike a president pressing a foreign leader to dig up dirt on a political opponent. That’s not what a president is supposed to do. And we all know it. — PolitiTweet.org

One year has passed since the brutal murder of @washingtonpost columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Our determination to hold his killers to account remains unwavering. I will continue to fight for press freedom in Jamal's memory and for all journalists who face threats across the globe. — PolitiTweet.org

Any effort by Sec. Pompeo to intimidate or prevent witnesses from testifying will add to evidence that the Trump Admin is obstructing Congress. Given Pompeo's own potential role in the affair, it will also create the inference that he is trying to cover up illicit activity. — PolitiTweet.org

As I join Jewish families across the country in celebrating Rosh Hashanah, I want to send my best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year. L’shanah Tovah! — PolitiTweet.org

It has been a momentous, and somber, week for our nation. Tune in tonight to @60Minutes at 7:30 pm to learn the latest developments of the Ukraine investigation and the House impeachment inquiry. I'll explain what we know so far - and what we can expect to happen next. https://t.co/yj5JjrVLuC — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

We had no choice but to move forward with an impeachment inquiry, And our focus will be on the president’s fundamental breach of his oath office. Coercing a foreign nation to interfere in our election is never ok, No matter what the president and his defenders say. https://t.co/sYPWAL75mm — PolitiTweet.org

We’ll conduct a complete investigation to hold this president accountable. But what we’ve already seen in his call is damning. Trump tried to coerce a foreign leader to make up dirt on his opponent and interfere in our election. Violating his oath and undermining our security. https://t.co/iHTXPw9zmI — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Trump may not be concerned that Russia interfered in our last election to help his campaign, but patriotic Americans feel otherwise. He may not see any difference between Russia’s interference in our election and America’s promotion of democracy abroad. But patriots do. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The whistleblower told us: - Trump pressured Ukraine to manufacture dirt on Biden. Confirmed. - Military aid to Ukraine was held up for unknown reasons. Also right. - Call records were hidden away in a classified system. Yup. No wonder the IG found the whistleblower credible. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

I want to thank the whistleblower for coming forward, and for their courage. I urge others to do so as well – notwithstanding the threats and intimidation. Our democracy depends on it. https://t.co/i3BDFrVEgE — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The consensus of national security experts is clear: President Trump’s actions concerning Ukraine endanger America's security. By subjugating the national interest to his own political interest, Trump has shown he is incapable and unwilling to fulfill his oath of office. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

You engaged in a shakedown to get election dirt from a foreign country. And then you tried to cover it up. But you’re right about one thing — your words need no mockery. Your own words and deeds mock themselves. But most importantly here, they endanger our country. https://t.co/Qha74pwW8m — PolitiTweet.org

Democracy does not mean that you can use military aid as leverage over another country to secure help in an election. In fact, it is the very negation of democracy. Oversight, accountability, protections for whistleblowers— This is the stuff of democracy. https://t.co/jnpDEvnA2e — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The President’s suggestion that those involved in the whisteblower complaint should be dealt with as "we used to do" for "spies and treason" is a reprehensible invitation to violence against witnesses in our investigation. All Americans must denounce such witness intimidation. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Maguire received an urgent and credible whistleblower complaint directly implicating the President. He didn't provide it to Congress as required. He consulted the White House, the subject of the complaint. The same WH the complaint alleges sought to conceal Trump's misconduct. https://t.co/IM3CFja99k — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The presidential oath of office requires the President of the United States to do two things: Faithfully execute his or her office, and protect and defend the Constitution. The whistleblower complaint and call record provide the most graphic evidence yet Trump has done neither. https://t.co/4Nqs3NxkrV — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

This complaint should never have been withheld, and it provides a roadmap for our investigation. We will do everything we can to protect this courageous whistleblower. The public has a right to see the complaint and what it reveals. Read it here: https://t.co/B0DrqDt4MS — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The transcript of the call reads like a classic mob shakedown: – We do a lot for Ukraine – There’s not much reciprocity – I have a favor to ask – Investigate my opponent – My people will be in touch Nice country you got there. It would be a shame if something happened to her. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The day after Mueller testified to the Trump campaign’s embrace of Russian help in the 2016 election, Trump abused the power of his office by pressuring Ukraine to manufacture dirt on a political rival. It’s a gross abuse of his office. And a danger to national security. https://t.co/F7Owu9WW0Q — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

It’s bad enough Trump sought help from a foreign power in the last election. It’s worse still that he obstructed the investigation into his misconduct. Now he‘s admitted using his office to coerce another country to interfere in 2020. I fully support the impeachment inquiry. — PolitiTweet.org
