On the current mood and atmosphere in Congress around the impeachment inquiry.

Shock. Disbelief. Can’t believe what they’re hearing and what they’re seeing. And what they think is this president is so brazen and so disrespectful and so dismissive of Constitution and of laws. And of protocol and all of that, that he would dare try to pull this off. Even after we have gone through interference in our electoral system in the previous presidential election. And so a lot of `Do you believe what is unfolding?’ `Can you believe what he’s doing?’

It’s basically playing out along partisan lines except that I had a Republican –on my way back from the [House] Floor—who whispered in my ear, `I understand what you’re doing. Keep doing it. Get him.’

So I don’t know if the facts will make them [Republicans] come out. But I’ve always dismissed the thoughts of the pundits who say `So what if you have impeachment proceedings on the House side? The Senate will never impeach him.’ I don’t believe that. I believe that if our facts are strong, we’ve connected the dots, that we can turn around some minds who can’t afford to go home knowing this dishonorable president has created a danger for our security and for our well being in this country.

8. Through out here career in Congress,

each time the Rethugs attacked her the more she goes and digging for the truth. And as Jack Nicholson said,they can not handle the truth.

She was and is the Nightmare the Rethugs were afraid would get a Committee Chair.

2. To be a fly on the wall... I'd like to know what she said back to the Republican

piece of shit who is so eager for her to carry the weight and put herself at risk.
