"Hello @LeaderHoyer I’m deeply disturbed that you’ve decided to abdicate Congress’ duty of oversight. The Mueller Report has provided evidence of abundant, egregious abuses of power. There is more than enough to begin impeachment hearings. And you know it."

Another wrote this...
"If anyone's thinking about launching a 2020 primary challenge against @LeaderHoyer, today would be a terrific time to announce it."

Pelosi is standing up! They are politicians but their job is to uphold the Constitution not play politics. I appreciate her more and more every day

Hoyer is my congressman and i like him.. usually.. but he was wrong on what he said today. Sounds like Nancy is pulling rank and sending a much different message.

Read, re-read and consider next moves carefully. 400+ pages is a lot to digest, even with redactions.

Nancy Pelosi is doing an amazing job.

Hoyer? He needs to take a seat and listen to his leader.
