Rep. Jackie Speier, a Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said she’s not concerned about the House floor vote on articles being a party line vote.

Speier added: “It’s a constitutional question, if they can’t read the constitution, if they can’t realize this is a high crime or misdemeanor — that’s their decision.”

Democratic Rep. David Cicilinne, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, reiterated that the articles the House have charged the President with are related to a “pattern of behavior” followed by a “pattern of covering it up and obstructing Congress’s investigation of it.”

Cicilinne called Trump’s actions a “crime in progress” and said if Congress doesn’t act, the US “will no longer have a democracy.”

“If we don’t honor our oath to protect and defend the constitution there should be no question in anyone’s mind he’s gonna go back at it. In fact it’s a crime in progress. He’s still doing it today," he said.
