Remember that 218 is those who publicly support an inquiry. We still have to get to 218 on actual articles of impeachment

Rep. Swalwell tells me they did NOT see the full IG report. He would not confirm whether they even saw the full whistleblower complaint. But he said what he saw changes nothing about the credibility and the urgency of the issue.

I need to call my local rep. Someone documented their attempt to meet with him over the recess. They went every day, sometimes other people came too. I wanted to join her but I'm a mess and broke my ankle. He was never in his office and I don't think she get a response from any of the letters she left when she went.
I haven't called before but I've sent emails and weeks later gotten bullshit responses. He needs to go but I'm not optimistic because there are a lot of Trump 2020 signs around here

Mmmhmmmm
BREAKING per @abc: Sources from inside the Ukrainian government have spoken out to say that indeed President Zelensky DID feel pressure from Trump to investigate Biden after the phone call. He feared losing US support.

Is anyone else stress-eating all the M&Ms today, or is it just me? I started at GD diet 2 weeks ago and it's going well so far but THIS BALONEY IS REALLY TESTING ME

"I find it strange they didn't ask for the first conversation I had, just this one. They should also ask for Pence's conversations, he also had some wonderful beautiful meetings with them. I find it strange they didn't ask for those." That can't have been planned. Keep talking, Trump. He does sound oddly quiet and weird but that comment seemed not well thought out. Unless he's throwing Pence under the bus. FINE BY ME.

He feared losing US support. Could "sources from inside" rhyme with Schmelensky? If I was not expecting my half of the call to be made public, I would probably let that come out too.

Sasse just likes to get in a good sound bite before doing exactly what his fellow Republicans tell him to do. He can fuck off with this.

I don’t pop in here often but I just called my reps office (he’s a no right now) Cunningham - S.C. 1. They were very nice and anticipating a statement today. Hoping it’s a change to yes. I feel like Cunningham supports impeachment but is super afraid of speaking out since he is in a very purple district and he wants to get reelected. I get it, but how many people out there are going to change their vote because their rep supported impeachment? I feel like there aren't many. I don't think there were people who planned to vote for him that would change their minds because of this. I don't really know though. I wonder what kind of impact this will really have on 2020. ETA I really like Joe but I really wish he would take a stance. I think people will be more annoyed at him for avoiding it.

My SO thinks that this is all the Dem’s trying to get 45 out of the way because they (Dems) aren’t going to win the election. We are obviously reading different things on this. And I want to shake him.

And I want to shake him. Does he think Trump didn't do it? Or that Trump did it and it's not illegal? He seems mistaken either way. He doesn’t think it’s illegal. I need to give him some better sources for why he’s wrong. Better than what he YouTubea at work.

“But the two people said the whistle-blower complaint went beyond Mr. Trump’s comments to Mr. Zelensky. It also dealt in part with the unusual manner in which White House officials handled internal records describing the call. The atypical proceeding heightened internal concerns about the content of the call, the two people said.”

sctiger I’ve been thinking about this all day. I think he stands to lose more by not speaking out. I don’t have patience for line walking in this climate though
