PELOSI addressing the caucus right now behind closed doors:

“He is asking a foreign government to help him in his campaign, that is a betrayal of his oath of office.”

“If none of that had ever occurred,” Pelosi says of all the committees’ work leading up to this, “what happened this last week is grevious and serious to our constitution.”

Pelosi elaborated a little on her call with the president:

Trump told her he had nothing to do with blocking the whistleblower report and she told him to “undo it.”

Intel Chairman Adam Schiff spoke after Pelosi. He told the caucus that Trump wasn’t asking Ukraine to “dig up dirt,” he was asking Ukraine to “manufacture dirt” on his opponent.

Pelosi speaking. Meanwhile some Dems are not happy about what they heard and are speaking out in the caucus.

“If you are asking us to stay on message, give us a goddamn message to stay on,” Rep. Slotkin said.

More Slotkin:

“We came out because this is something different, this meeting did not give me confidence that this will be something different.”

Meanwhile Pelosi announcing “official impeachment inquiry” right now.

“The president must be held accountable. No one is above the law,” she says. “The times have found us.”

1. Rep Slotkin, D-MI, was one of the 7 House members who just signed and presented the letter

stating the need for impeachment. That’s who.

2. She was on MSNBC early this morning

She's a first term congresswoman.

3. The Criticism Never Ends

always a helping of sour grapes waiting to be shared. Will them Dems ever get a freakin' break? They held the House for 9+ months, have passed an incredible number of bills and are doing their best to get past the criminal blockade they are facing. The constant carping only helps the traitor in the WH.
