Will Trump stop Putin from building a pipeline he says he opposes? Although the Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved the Nord Stream 2 sanctions bill by a 20-to-2 vote in July, it was never brought to the Senate floor.

What’s wrong with this picture? Collins is whining that he has *wait for it* too many documents. How about the position @realDonaldTrump has put Congress in by giving us ZERO documents? Spare me.

The FBI has agents and legal attaches for this purpose. Treaties permit them to work with their authorized law enforcement counterparts to obtain evidence. No legitimate reason to send a private lawyer like Giuliani to Ukraine to investigate crime.
The Pensacola shooting is a good comparison here. When we believe that illegal activity is afoot, our DOJ has the ability to open an investigation and request assistance from foreign countries through formal channels. Why is Fruity G running around doing this on his own??? https://t.co/wMkX9uumGI— Asha Rangappa (@AshaRangappa_) December 8, 2019
Rep. Schiff’s collection of call records appears to be consistent with statutes, but statutes can’t override the Constitution. Instead of just blasting Schiff, do you think GOP leaders will also vote to reform subpoena laws or end unconstitutional Patriot Act/FISA authorities?

The US House passed legislation to restore the Voting Rights Act. If Mitch McConnell refuses to take it up in the Senate, he’s confessing that he believes the GOP can’t win without voter suppression.

Trump said that Giuliani will deliver a report to Congress & Barr about information he uncovered during his latest trip to Ukraine. "He's going to make a report, I think to the attorney general and to Congress. He says he has a lot of good information"

The line-up will include Barry Berke and Stephen Castor who will make opening statements on Monday. Daniel Goldman & Barry Berke will present evidence, according to staffer working on the impeachment. Expect member questioning period to look like last week's.
