Rep. Cohen: '80-90 percent' of Dems on House Judiciary Committee ready to push for Trump impeachment
Fox News ^ | May 21, 2019 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

House Judiciary Committee member Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn, claimed on Tuesday evening that "80-90 percent" of the fellow Democrats who sit on committee are ready to impeach President Trump.

Cohen, who made headlines recently for bringing Kentucky Fried Chicken to a hearing in an attempt to mock the absence of Attorney General William Barr, began by saying the Democrats who sit on the House Judiciary Committee "care most about justice" and "the rule of law."

"The Judiciary Committee, as a whole, is for at least an inquiry of impeachment," Cohen told MSNBC's Ari Melber. "There might have been two members who are particularly close to Speaker Pelosi that were not on-board, but I'd say most, I'd say 80-90 percent of the committee is on-board to go forward."

The congressman acknowledged that he couldn't speak on behalf of the House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., but said of the Dems backing the push that "most of us are lawyers" and "we have the Constitution in our heart." He also admitted that the majority of his colleagues in the House of Representatives have not read the Mueller Report.

Cohen went on to express in anticipation to tomorrow's caucus meeting that it's "difficult" to question the positions of Speaker Pelosi, but added that it's also his duty to "speak truth to power."

If anyone believes the DEMs would lose over impeachment, they would be wrong. This country is beyond hope with regards to the voters. Most will just want it over and Trump removed.

Two of the biggest lies I've heard come out of that committee.

The dems have no choice.

It’s either that or prison or worse.

What would be weird is if a dem pushed for anti-hanging legislation.

oh. wait.
