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."

Stop yapping and do it! C’mon, you f-ing pansies, do it!
In Baseball terms you mean he’s a Catcher and not a Pitcher?
Impeachment does not remove the president from office.
Feed them the rope...allow them to tie their own noose.
Ill add...perfect timing. Vote for impeachment investigation tomorrow, and within a week, Trump will release classified witch hunt documents.
good luck! Dont pull your punches!
Holy cow! You got you the Dumber Than a Bag of Rocks Caucus there, Digger. Only seems to be missing Big Al from MD, Crazy Mazie from HI, AOC, Maximum Water Pollution, Lie-a-watha and a couple of NYC's finest sewer rats.
I don’t see a downside to impeachment right now. The country already has enough laws. Trump can still deregulate and do trade and the border wall. We aren’t tied down by war. Impeachment has zero chance in te Senate.
Let Dems waste 2019 and 2020 looking like vindictive jackasses.
Bring it chicken man. Impeach Trump so we can wipe out the Democratic scourge in this country.
Im amazed at just how much energy, time and resources the dems have put into their 15 minutes, apparently never realizing in their zeal, that they have accomplished exactly zero for the countries good.
Passing nonsensical bills like the misnamed Equality Act which is nothing of the kind and other window dressings will not be enough to campaign upon in the coming months
You are correct!
