Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to end months of caution on impeachment Tuesday afternoon, launching a formal inquiry aimed at removing President Donald Trump over allegations he withheld aid from Ukraine to pressure that country to launch a corruption inquiry aimed at damaging former Vice President Joe Biden.
All 13 Texas Democrats in Congress support impeachment or are at least open to it, after five holdouts joined the chorus in the hours before her announcement, some more enthusiastic than others.
Texas Republicans remained unified in their opposition to impeachment, even as Democrats around the country lined up to demand impeachment on Tuesday, projecting a sense of unity and momentum.
The first from Texas who hadn't already demanded Trump's ouster was Fort Worth Rep. Marc Veasey, long a holdout, who said he's ready to vote for impeachment immediately.
Four others -- Dallas Reps. Eddie Bernice Johnson and Colin Allred, Laredo Rep. Henry Cuellar, and Houston Rep. Lizzie Fletcher -- said for the first time that they're ready to begin proceedings if the White House refuses to turn over a whistleblower complaint alleging misdeeds by Trump in his dealings with Ukraine, or as other evidence emerges against him.
"If the decision is made by the president and his administration to withhold this information from Congress, or if the allegations of his abuse of power are substantiated, I will be placed in a position where I must fulfill my constitutional duty and support impeachment proceedings," said Johnson, dean of the Texas congressional delegation and chair of the House Science committee.

They cant beat him, like Pelosi said, this is about making sure he cant win again in 2020, she said that plain as day
Barr is McConnell’s stooge. Trump needs to invite McConnell to the WH and ask him if he wants to be the last GOP leader of the Senate.
Speaking of improving numbers, since Trump fired Bolton, his approval has gone from 47% to 53%, disapproval has gone from 53% to 45% =>
These thirty are committing political suicide in swing districts in a Presidential year. These seats are waiting for a sincere conservative to step up and win.
Bring it. Idiots.
so how many impeachments of Trump do they have going right ,3 or 4 ,LOL
This is like jail prisoners demanding that the policeman who caught them be fired.
Not that they are innocent.
They know they are guilty as hell.
They just want that policeman fired.
Go to hell Democrat scum.
If impeached Trump should pull a Bill Clinton and remain in office.
Clinton wasn't convicted by the Senate (which had a democrat majority), nor will Trump (with a democrat minority). However I see your point. Trump should follow the Clinton playbook and have a major pep rally on the White House lawn after he is acquitted, and set the stage for a major republican victory in 2020.
They already it so they are throwing a HAIL MARY!
that is up to the Senate ... not the President ...
They already it so they are throwing a HAIL MARY!
Lizzie Fletcher is a goner if she goes along
They’d have Pence ... then what?
The DemonRATS and RINO”S in Congress, Both in the House and the Senate that vote for impeachment will pay for their stupidity. Their outright hypocrisy and wanting the Deep State to continue will be their downfall. They do not care one bit for the American People or our Constitutional Republic. All they have cared abut and continue to care about is their lust for power and control over us to steal our money and get what they want for themselves. We need to get rid of every last one of them!!!!!
Wow, all 13 of ‘em eh?
Well geez I guess POTUS should pack it up and go back to Manhattan then.
The news entity is part and parcel one of these clowns. There is no longer honest news in America its all opinion camouflage as news.
