Of course she knows. I'm not

In reply to 1. Does Liz know she'll need

Of course she knows. I'm not sure why you're making this into a big deal. No democrat in congress cares much or is going to hold a grudge over something said on the campaign trail unless it seriously affects their re-election chances.

In reply to Liz Warren continued:

1. Does Liz know she'll need that complicit Congress to get any of her 21 plans enacted?

2. Republicans didn't have "mutual respect for the law" in the 70s, 80's, 90s etc or ever in recent history. The right wing hated Nixon because he was too liberal, so they let the Democrats do the dirty work to get rid of him. Time, August, 71, The Right Wing vs. Nixon

Liz sounds like it's all going to her head.

Liz Warren continued: Congress ‘Is Complicit’ for Failing to Impeach Trump

Trump will continue to “commit crimes,” Warren says, because “he knows his Justice Department won’t act and believes Congress won’t either.”

By Allison Quinn, Breaking News Reporter @ DailyBeast.com, 9/20, 8:42 pm

In 1974, Democrats and Republicans united in support of impeachment not out of mutual contempt for Nixon but mutual respect for the rule of law. Congress refused to be complicit in future law-breaking by Nixon or other presidents. It’s time for this Congress to step up and act.

IMPEACH NOW: Rep. Joe Kennedy III, Mia Farrow, Fmr. White House Cabinet Sec. Chris Lu, Beto O'Rourke, Rep. Veronica Escobar, Steve Beschloss:

This isn’t asking a foreign country for help, this is a scared, power thirsty man begging for it. If we don’t impeach him, he’ll only get worse. https://t.co/bYnMAIyt5N

Please @SpeakerPelosi impeach him
— Mia Farrow (@MiaFarrow) September 21, 2019

If you've followed me on Twitter/TV over the past 2+ years, you know I've never called for impeachment, even after Mueller Report. But a president seeking foreign help to target a political rival undermines our democracy. This isn't about politics but doing what's right. #Impeach

Joe is right: There is no bottom. Impeach him. https://t.co/Rl70wX2aPa

.@realDonaldTrump & his campaign team welcomed interference in our election, he covered it up and tried to obstruct the investigation.

He continues to obstruct Congress.

Now we learn he’s trying to get another foreign govt to influence the 2020 elections.

We must impeach! https://t.co/rl7DnqJsNS

IMPEACH NOW: Joe Lockhart, Joe Walsh, Benjamin Wittes, Rob Reiner, Julian Castro, Tom Nichols, Jon Favreau, Richard W. Painter:

I've held the unpopular view that Democrat's shouldn't pursue impeachment but instead defeat Trump and Trumpism/Republicanism, at the ballot box. If Trump used aid to Ukraine to bribe/extort them to investigate a political opponent, then my view has changed. He must be impeached
— Joe Lockhart (@joelockhart) September 21, 2019

Two thoughts:

1. At this point, the only remedy is impeachment.

2. History will not be kind to Republicans who sold their soul and/or remained silent in the face of this President’s corrupt abuse of power and attack on our democratic institutions.

Have a good night.

This from ⁦@gtconway3d⁩ and ⁦@neal_katyal⁩ is exactly right. https://t.co/GdRClokQP1

Bribery. Extortion. Collusion. Obstruction. Stealing taxpayer dollars. All in plain sight. The Articles of Impeachment write themselves. GOP has turned its back on US. It’s up to Speaker Pelosi. DO YOUR DUTY!
— Rob Reiner (@robreiner) September 20, 2019

1. What Trump did from the WSJ story *alone* is impeachable.
2. The Biden story is false, but it is also irrelevant to what Trump has already done.
3. The whistleblower story is also now irrelevant to impeachment if the WSJ story is true, except that it makes it *worse*.

People should flood @SpeakerPelosi’s office with pro-impeachment phone calls right now, as well as every House Democrat who’s still on the fence. https://t.co/url7Qg60Wv

George T. Conway III and Neal Katyal @ WaPo: Trump has done plenty to warrant impeachment. But the Ukraine allegations are over the top, 7:56 pm

George T. Conway III is a lawyer in New York. (and Kellyanne's husband)

Neal Katyal, a law professor at Georgetown University, previously served as the acting solicitor general of the United States.

Good point. I don't know if

Good point. I don't know if it means impeachment is the thing to do, but it is a good point to keep in mind:

Folks, just in case it's unclear: Democrats who won 40 swing districts in previously-red suburbs despite GOP gerrymanders didn't win on "issues," even if that's what they campaigned on. https://t.co/0CiqyvYh1f

Liz Warren strongly calling for impeachment"

A president is sitting in the Oval Office, right now, who continues to commit crimes. He continues because he knows his Justice Department won't act and believes Congress won’t either. Today’s news confirmed he thinks he’s above the law. If we do nothing, he’ll be right.

Congress shouldn’t be distracted by the unusual way Trump’s demand for help from a foreign government against a U.S. politician came to light—a whistleblower complaint to an IG. Watergate began with a policeman coming upon a burglary. The key now is discovering what Trump did.
