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."

It really, REALLY would be cool, if Democrats were engaged, offering ideas and fix the immigration mess, instead of dedicating hours, and hours on their pet peeves that will benefit only the re election of Donald Trump. So...we all grab our pop corn.
I hope they go for it. It is a treasonous act and bullet proof vests won’t protect them from being voted out of office, or maybe worse.
And what are the charges and specifications of this impeachment attempt, YOU TREASONOUS JACKA$$E$ ?
do it
Memphis put this POS in Washington...It wasn’t the state of Tennessee...
they are avoiding immigration because they don’t think it’s a problem
This is the same old game where Dems try to control the news narrative. They know what’s coming. Panic time for Dems and never-trumpers.
Just Do It!
Does Nadler plan to have his committee just vote on impeachment without bothering with hearings or drawing up articles of impeachment?
I believe Buttplug is the wife.
The governance of this country is not something to be played with.
If the Democrats want to showboat, then they can never again be taken seriously.
We have Soldiers risking their lives for this country.
The Democrats can play their games walking point on Patrol in Afghanistan.
The enemy will appreciate their show.
We got a rope for you, too, Cohen.

a brand new political standard!

Do it! Do it! Do it!!! DO IT!!!!!!! This will be phenomenal! “We are impeaching the President because he committed crimes like uh...like uh...crimes..and stuff...and he uh ..obstructed justice like uhhhh...firing James Comey which he had the right to do and really wasn’t obstructing justice”
4 months they have been in control, and all they do is posture and talk.
