The Select Committee will report back to the Committee on the Judiciary on its findings regarding grounds for impeachment:

Please call your Representatives in Congress at 1-800-426-8073 and urge them to co-sponsor this important bill. Let's create a GROUNDSWELL that no Republican in the House will be able to run from to save their hides!
