House Democrats are eyeing plans to force a vote on the creation of an independent panel to investigate President Trump’s ties to Russia following the dismissal of FBI Director James Comey this week.
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday urged GOP leaders to bring the legislation to the floor next week when Congress returns to Washington following a recess. If they decline, as expected, Democrats will try to force a vote with a discharge petition.
“Speaker [Paul] Ryan [R-Wis.] must call up this legislation immediately upon our return next week,” Pelosi wrote Wednesday in a letter to the members of her caucus. “If Republicans continue to work to hide the truth from the American people, it will be necessary for Democrats to file a discharge petition to force a vote on the [legislation].”
A handful of Republicans have joined Democrats in calling for an outside probe following Trump's decision Tuesday to fire Comey, who was leading the FBI's investigation into potential ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Up yours lady.
She will huff. She will puff. And, she will try to blow the house down.
They are so falling for it...hook, line, sinker, rod, and boat.
They’re going to be destroyed. By themselves. When all Russia improprieties go to ... democrats.
So. Much. Winning.
PUSH BACK ON THE HILLIAR, PODESTA, IRAN, URANIUM, FAST AND FURIOUS, IRS ET AL PROBES
STOP letting them set the agenda. Screw the b******s
I’ve gotten to the point where I look at TheHill through the same glasses as CNN.
When will someone say....well duh....politicians talk to ambassadors and visit other countries on a daily basis...that's not collusion or grounds for blackmail.
“They are so falling for it...hook, line, sinker, rod, and boat.”
Beginning to think this is the only way to slay this dragon, and that outcome would be delightful.
And the UniParty Speaker will...blink
I agree. Put them on defense.
I agree to a probe if it includes Obama since birth getting deep Soviet state sponsorship. The deep soviet hacking of elections is occuring now with the democrats leaking everything to enemies instead the feds.
Let us coopt this stupid btch the way Trump coopted Democrat hate of Comey to fire him. Let us see how she likes it that way, when it is non partisan and impartial.
Just like with the idiocy of Richard Jewel, give it time and I garrantee you we will find the real perps! And it aint Trump who was red baby diapered!
So they “force a vote.” Big deal. Doesn’t mean they’ll win the vote.
Indeed, the leaks and the Hillary Uranium is the Russian deep state hack and coup, not this obscure arcane hacking business conspiracy theories BS.
Gives a “handful” of RINOs in Dem districts a chance to *strengthen* their standing with Dem voters in their districts.
Incredibly stupid of Pelosi. She’s hurting her Party’s 2018 election opportunities.
The vote will take 15 minutes and mean nothing.
The proof is in the fake news pudding. The amount of fake news lately y MsM all indicate that if there was Russian fake news, it is THEM!
Give it time. Like all the hare crime
hoaxes and PC investigations/indictments of Richard Jewel, the real perps wjll be found, and it is democrats!
Yeah, but when have you ever seen Repubs fight like this? Even when they know it will fail, Dems press ahead; Repubs fold like lawn chairs.....
As Gowdy said to Comey: “I do not like Russian interference and I hope you investigate EVERYWHERE it may lead you to”
It was a challenge to his impartiality.
But the Rino critters are getting their heads shaped by democrats “taking charge” . They want Garland on it! Horsesht!
“I shall conclude this paper with some miscellaneous remarks on the state of our affairs; and shall begin with asking the following question, Why is it that the enemy have left the New England provinces, and made these middle ones the seat of war? The answer is easy: New England is not infested with Tories, and we are. I have been tender in raising the cry against these men, and used numberless arguments to show them their danger, but it will not do to sacrifice a world either to their folly or their baseness. The period is now arrived, in which either they or we must change our sentiments, or one or both must fall. And what is a Tory? Good God! What is he? I should not be afraid to go with a hundred Whigs against a thousand Tories, were they to attempt to get into arms. Every Tory is a coward; for servile, slavish, self-interested fear is the foundation of Toryism; and a man under such influence, though he may be cruel, never can be brave.
But, before the line of irrecoverable separation be drawn between us, let us reason the matter together: Your conduct is an invitation to the enemy, yet not one in a thousand of you has heart enough to join him. Howe is as much deceived by you as the American cause is injured by you. He expects you will all take up arms, and flock to his standard, with muskets on your shoulders. Your opinions are of no use to him, unless you support him personally, for ‘tis soldiers, and not Tories, that he wants.”
Let me guess ... Tories were like today’s liberals?
