The U.S. House voted overwhelmingly Wednesday night to call for an investigation of war crimes committed during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Six House Republicans voted against the measure.
“We rise today not as Republicans, Democrats, but as Americans, as a united Congress on behalf of the American people condemning these atrocities,” said Representative Michael McCaul, a Republican from Texas and the co-author of the bill.
The six Republicans who opposed the legislation did not immediately explain their votes, but nearly all of them were members of the hard-right Freedom Caucus and have argued against interventionist foreign policy.

As evidenced, there is more in it for him by being Soros puppet. Sooner or later, the Neo Cons and One Worlders are going to get us in a full blown nuclear with Russia. The only question remaining to be answered is when. The sheep are all for it now.
You strongly condemn what? Protest peacefully? McCaul is a joke.
McCaul’s Statement on Impeachment Vote
Jan 13, 2021 Press Release
WASHINGTON, DC – Below is a statement from Congressman Michael McCaul (TX-10) on today’s vote to impeach the president.
“Let me start by saying I strongly condemn the president’s rhetoric and his behavior. I understand, having witnessed these events first-hand, that emotions are high; but this decision must be based on facts and evidence.
“Let me also say, there very well may have been impeachable offenses committed leading up to, and on, that tragic day.
“But we have not been given the time to truly look at the facts and the evidence before this impeachment was hurried to the House floor. We haven’t been given the opportunity to hear from a single witness, or hold even one hearing.
“If Congress moves forward with removing a sitting president in this manner, it would set a bad precedent. I do not believe the Founding Fathers envisioned impeachment taking place in one day.
“If we did this in a deliberative way, perhaps we could come to a more bipartisan consensus. At the very least, I believe a deliberative process would give more Americans faith in the outcome.
“That’s why I’m calling on my colleagues and officials from the Justice Department to launch a full and thorough investigation. The American people deserve to know the full scope and severity of what took place.
“As a former federal prosecutor, I look at this as attempting to indict a case before it’s been presented to the grand jury. And I can tell you from first-hand experience, rushed justice is not the solution to mob violence.
“For that reason, I will, with a heavy heart, oppose impeachment at this time. I did not come to this decision lightly. And I truly fear there may be more facts that come to light in the future that will put me on the wrong side of this debate.
“It’s time for the nation to heal as we prepare for the peaceful transition of power.”

Rep. Nancy Mace: There Was a Bipartisan Effort to Look at Censuring Trump, But Pelosi Wouldn’t Allow It (IMPEACHMENT HELD HOSTAGE - DAY 32)

(CNSNews.com) – Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday that there was a “bicameral, bipartisan effort” to look at censuring President Donald Trump, which she said would hold him accountable and prohibit him from holding office again,
Mace, who voted against impeaching the president, said she’s concerned like Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) is that more facts will come to light in the future and it will put her on the wrong side of the debate.

"We're waiting."
give me a break , Putin apologist
Full investigation by globalists of the uniparty?
Sure, that will be easy to predict. But I wouldn’t mind seeing a full investigation by Trump and persons both appointed by him and capable of looking at all sides of this complex issue.
War crimes may have happened, but who carried them out? Be careful what you wish for, puppets. The truth is out there but the flashlights may end up shining into unexpected corners of the general darkness.
Why?
Yesterday Zelenksy was prattling on about Ukraine not being a bastion of Euro liberalism in the future.He mustn’t have got the memo that if you join the Euro club you do as your damn told.
Thanks for posting about the deep state olanted by obama and co in 2014. The globalists would sacrifice a 1000 times the population of Ukraine for control. Putin is evel, but resists globalists. When biden talked about regime change, he wasn’t senile, he was confirming what we already knew.
Ukraine and the eastern bloc are oawns to replace putin. I guess the globalists are not content with having a deep state in wvery country but china and russia.
So while i recognize putin as evil, its limited. His replacement will spread an evil we havent seen into our own homes here.
And how are they going to investigate while there’s ongoing fighting?
We’ll just have to take “thier” word for it.
It will be one-sided.
If they start looking into war crimes, they will have to consider Ukrainian treatment of POWs, and AZOV killing of civilians. If it gets to that point, they just drop the investigation.
Posturing and virtue signalling.
I would ask Leo the same.....exactly who’s word am I to believe?
How about war crimes charges against the democrat party for murder millions of babies instead?
Since when is the Congress in charge of foreign nations?
Should investigate their own war crimes first.
It would be nice if they rose up over the Jan 6 prisoners who have had their constitutional rights taken away
I don’t care about Ukraine. We don’t need a US investigation. Let the EU do it.
Americans have a disasterous country and our focus needs to be here not on foreign lands. We are not the World Police.
They will sit around, waste time and money and make stuff up as they usually do.
