JFC. @ewarren said it A MONTH AGO.
Why should we be impressed with Justin Amash
when it took him A MONTH to do what
#Warren did in A DAY?
She treated this as a matter of urgency.
#WhiteMaleMediocrity seems to impress
more than female brilliance.

The severity of this misconduct demands that elected officials in both parties set aside political considerations and do their constitutional duty. That means the House should initiate impeachment proceedings against the President of the United States.

Easy for Warren to say. Took a lot of political courage for Amash to say. A distinction worth keeping in mind.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
" peer pressure "
aren't we (he) a little old for that ?
suppose he made this statement in April !!
all the same credit where credit is due,
curious what he does going forward, ala put your money where your mouth is
Which is something he has been so... so much like Ben Sasse.
Says the controversial ( popular ? ) yet when the vote comes or time to stand up he has been absent, towing the party line.
hope this is a change
For many reasons --- After AOC became a brand, I opined the two of them would eventually work together to craft legislation.

Im sure Amashs business interests have no bearing on his principled stance.
"Donald Trump will serve a second term as president of the United States.
It’s over."

It is poorly remembered but when Howard Baker asked his famous question about what Nixon knew and when he was acting as one of Nixon's defenders. There has been a certain amount of historical revisionism that allowed Baker to be recast as an early Nixon critic. He was not.
The outstanding skill that most politicians have is the ability to discern which way the wind is blowing. If the Dems want more Republicans to join Amash they have to turn that breeze into a gale.

I've been adament about no collusion and Mueller/Amash don't dispute that.
With regards to obstruction, I don't have much of an opinion but trust Amash. As I've said, if the Dems think there is evidence to impeach, they should impeach. If not, quit obsessing about it and move on.
