The Republican committee votes on articles of impeachment were as follows:

64% (11/17) voted he did not obstruct justice.
59% (10/17) voted he did not abuse his power.
88% (15/17) voted he did not hold Congress in contempt.
100% (17/17) voted he did not falsify records regarding bombing of Cambodia. (Didn't the Pentagon Papers show this???)
100% (17/17) voted he did not fail to pay taxes.
