House Democrats are eyeing plans to force a vote on the creation of an independent panel to investigate President Trumps ties to Russia following the dismissal of FBI Director James Comey this week.
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday urged GOP leaders to bring the legislation to the floor next week when Congress returns to Washington following a recess. If they decline, as expected, Democrats will try to force a vote with a discharge petition.
Speaker [Paul] Ryan [R-Wis.] must call up this legislation immediately upon our return next week, Pelosi wrote Wednesday in a letter to the members of her caucus. If Republicans continue to work to hide the truth from the American people, it will be necessary for Democrats to file a discharge petition to force a vote on the [legislation].
A handful of Republicans have joined Democrats in calling for an outside probe following Trump's decision Tuesday to fire Comey, who was leading the FBI's investigation into potential ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Anything she -- or he -- accomplishes is only because the Republican leadership approves it.
Introduce legislation to initiate an independent investigation into foreign influence in our democratic processes... including, but not limited to: alien voting and voter registration, alien campaign contributions both domestically and from overseas, influence peddling through charitable organizations, voter intimidation by aliens at polling stations, voter suppression by foreign organizations portending to ‘monitor’ our elections, US interference in foreign elections, and, oh yes... whether or not a Russian prostitute urinated on Trump, and if so, did it influence the result of the 2016 presidential election. Theater of the absurd.
Pay for the investigation using democrat party funds.
They should not even vote on this witch hunt. The democrats are questioning the legitimacy of our election, which until Election Day they claimed was reprehensible. Then they are questioning the capabilities and integrity of our FBI. They are even farther out of line than usual. But it supports the narrative, so they will keep it up.
What I hear Pelosi saying is, Please bring several million gun-toting, freedom-loving, Trump supporters to Washington, storm Congress, and take out the trash... add my name to your list of trash... and Trump must extend blanket pardons to such a mob in order to return the rule of law.
Maybe that’s not what she meant to say. But it’s what she’s saying.
The bill is endorsed by every House Democrat and one Republican: Rep. Walter Jones (N.C.).
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) has also advocated this year for an independent investigation. And since the Comey firing, several other Republicans have joined the push, including Reps. Barbara Comstock (Va.) and Justin Amash
(Mich.). Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.) is also supporting the creation of a new investigative panel, though one made up of congressional lawmakers
REMEMBER THESE SCUM THE NEXT TIME THEY RUN FOR OFFICE.
Great! Let’s go back and see what obozo told the Russians when he had “...more flexibility”.
