John -

With two days of impeachment hearings behind us, a disappointing-but-unsurprising truth has made itself clear: Republicans in Congress are not taking Trump's corruption seriously.

Instead of seeking the truth, they're delivering meandering speeches full of debunked conspiracies and self-pity. Instead of questioning witnesses, they're breathlessly repeating Fox News' lies and feigning outrage.

The evidence we had before this week was damning for Trump. The new evidence makes the case against him even stronger.

All the bluster and nonsense won't change the facts: Donald Trump abused the power of the presidency and must be removed from office.

Courage,

Earl

John -
Today, we've finally begun open impeachment hearings on Donald Trump's flagrant abuses of power and contempt for our democracy.

There will be a whole lot of words flying around - from Democrats, from Republicans, from witnesses, from the media, from the White House. It'll be easy to get distracted or bogged down by the rhetoric. Republicans have already made it clear that they're going to do everything they can to cloud the issue and confuse the public.

But don't be fooled, John. The main idea is really quite simple:

Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans believe the president is above the law.

The rest of us don't.

Through all of the disingenuous pontificating and conspiracy theories and convulsive tweets, we can't lose sight of the issue that the president broke the law and must be held accountable.

That's why I was one of the first members of the House to call for impeachment and why I won't rest until Donald Trump's corruption is fully uncovered.

More soon,

Earl
