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."

Hmmm...Two commies out of about 26 commies... Wouldn’t that give the “nays” about the 24 GOPs plus those two commies enough to keep it in committee?

Only 80 to 90 percent? Why not 100 percent?

The RAT Party “practices” Festivus year round! A perennial “airing of grievances," but a complete lack of any concrete ideas to improve our country and it's citizens.

“4 months they have been in control, and all they do is posture and talk.”

Normally, the Party in power in the House lets the country know what they’ve accomplished their first 100 days into their new session. They have been silent, because they haven’t accomplished a damned thing, except BS and theatrics!

OK. The correct quote of Arnold is: “ DO IT! Do it NOW!!!”

(Why is it Arnold saying ‘now’ triggers a Hans and Franz memory? “ Hear me NOW and believe me layttuh.”

That is pretty much the way I see it. Collusion is over. Obstruction is over. With the release of various documents and statements from Nunes and others, the "They were bad people so we were justified" is going to be over soon, and will be replaced by:

CONGRESSMAN: So. Explain how a Russian intelligence general with a specialty in misinformation propaganda who has ties to British Intelligence (Richard Dearlove, MI-6) American Intelligence (Stefan Halper, CIA and FBI) and Russian (Vladislav Surkov, one of Putin's most trusted advisers, known as the "Kremlin's Ideologist") all know each other?

COMEY/BRENNAN/CLAPPER:Uh, I believe all three of them taught a course at The Cambridge Security Initiative, an intelligence think tank.

CONGRESSMAN: And Vladislav Surkov showed up in the State Department notes (by Kathleen Kavalec on her meeting with Christopher Steele) as a source of Steele's information in the Dossier, right?

COMEY/BRENNAN/CLAPPER: Yes, but...

CONGRESSMAN: And Surkov was giving anti-Trump info to Steele, right?

COMEY/BRENNAN/CLAPPER: Yes, but...

If anyone thinks they have enough ammo, that means you need to get a few more boxes.

They never had the us constitution in their hearts.

The Communist Manifesto took up all the space.
