    — It's a domestic policy story where #TheDysfunctionIsThePoint to deny #Biden a win (to help #Trump)
    — It's a foreign policy story, giving aid and comfort to #Russia

    #US #HouseRepublicans are using #PowerOfThePurse to usurp #foreignPolicy from the #executive by announcing a bill that leaves out aid to #Ukraine and thereby put the security of all of #Europe and the world at risk.

Two #law professors who testified before the cmte this month both stated that they did not see a constitutional basis for #impeachment.
