Liz Cheney, No 3 House Republican, will vote to impeach Trump

Powerful conservative joins growing number of Republicans seeking accountability for president after Capitol attack

www.theguardian.com

"On January 6, 2021 a violent mob attacked the United States Capitol to obstruct the process of our democracy and stop the counting of presidential electoral votes. This insurrection caused injury, death and destruction in the most sacred space in our Republic.”

"Much more will become clear in coming days and weeks, but what we know now is enough. The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing. None of this would have happened without the President. The President could have immediately and forcefully intervened to stop the violence. He did not. There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution.”

"I will vote to impeach the President."

Pro-Kremlin media attempts to make fascism politically correct ·

Here are some quotes from January 2020: “Mussolini was a brilliant man, giving the world a third path, on which Russia, in part, is moving.” “He developed the industry, built roads and supported advanced technology in mechanical engineering and aviation. — Italy during the last years of the alliance with Hitler had nothing to do …

Pro-Kremlin media have recently started to express sympathy for Fascism. This is not entirely new: The web site News Front, based in illegally annexed Crimea, has been praising Hitler and Nazism; pro-Kremlin Russia Insider is not only attempting to whitewash Nazism but is also openly anti-Semitic. But recently, this passion for Fascism seems to have reached new levels.

More headaches for Trump: Republicans who complained about impeachment got what they wanted when Pelosi called their bluff

Analysis: Republicans wanted due process, and they got it. They are also getting public hearings and millions of eyeballs on testimony that has been, so far, quite damaging

Moments before the House voted on the historic resolution laying out the ground rules for the first impeachment inquiry of the 21st Century, House speaker Nancy Pelosi shot back at reporters asking about Republicans.

No, she would not respond to their claims that the impeachment investigation had so far been unfair to Donald Trump, and has denied him proper due process. This wasn’t about those complaints, she said.

“These actions, this process is open hearings seeking the truth and making it available to the American people, will inform Congress on the very difficult decisions we will have to make in the future as to whether to impeach the president. That decision has not been made,” she said.

Ms Pelosi continued, saying that decision will be made “based on the truth. I don’t know why the Republicans are afraid of the truth.”

“I don’t know why the Republicans are afraid of the truth”

“So what is at stake? Is our democracy. What are we fighting for? Defending our democracy for the people.”

“We gather here on that opening day with our families gathered round to proudly raise our hands to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” 

— Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi
