25. Impeachment Inquiry??
Sun Jun 16, 2019, 01:18 PM
Jun 2019

Below is Andy Levin's last 3 tweets ( 3 of his long tweets) which seem to give an indication on some movement in the House Judicial Committee:

Just a side note:

House Judicial Committee now have the majority in favor of Impeachment Inquiry. ( Whether it goes forward to the proceedings, still remains to be seen)

Levin's Tweets:
"I have concluded that, absent an impeachment inquiry, even if our appeals to the courts continue to succeed, they will follow a timeline far too slow to meet the needs of the American people for truth and justice."

"After extensive discussion with colleagues on the committees of jurisdiction over various investigations..."

"I have concluded that the only way to get to the bottom of Mr. Trump’s activities and inform the public about what we learn is to centralize and expedite the process through one select committee with the focus, power and urgency that come with an impeachment inquiry."

"I will work to build a consensus in the House Democratic Caucus to begin this process, and I will reach across the aisle to engage Republican colleagues about the urgent need to protect our democracy."

Below is the List of the House Member for Impeachment from the New York Times:
