Obstruction of Congress; Hello, Jack Twitter; Bros doxxing again

 

IMPEACHMENT

obstruction of Congress

Trump has moved from obstruction of justice in the Mueller investigation to obstruction of Congress – blocking Congress at every turn from carrying out its constitutional oversight duty. As people ponder impeachment, they must consider this unprecedented attack on our democracy.

The definition of impeachable offenses should not change based on the likelihood of conviction. At least one political party should put the Constitution ahead of political considerations.

Trump has tweeted and retweeted over 50 times in the past day.

His tweet volume is a reliable barometer of his internal misery.

He’s manically trying to boost others’ defenses of him to stave off the public’s scorn over the revelations in the Mueller report.

IMPEACHMENT

future attacks

The Trump administration has not done near enough to prepare us for foreign attacks that undoubtedly will be made on our electoral system – nor to hold accountable those behind previous attacks (Helsinki). Career people have been ignored. This is simply unforgivable.

— Eric Holder (@EricHolder) April 19, 2019

start the process

On impeachment:

1) We're just 18 months from election day, providing some flexibility to HJC on timing.

2) There's abuse that Mueller didn't mention. (Posts incoming)

3) There's other shit that is akin to Mueller report coming down the pike.

Start the process.

spin-off cases.Barr

In light of Barr’s handling of the Mueller Report, I’d like to see what career ethics officials at DOJ think about the need for him to be recused for the spin off cases going forward. He should not oversee any of them. https://t.co/fRw8lTO2uY

“White House counsel John Dean famously told Nixon that there was a cancer within the presidency and that it was growing. What the Mueller report disturbingly shows, with crystal clarity, is that today there is a cancer in the presidency: President Donald J. Trump.” https://t.co/TMFt7anUZE

#Biden's biggest obstacles are his baggage, which is more extensive than was #HillaryClinton's and his age, which effectively would make him a one-term president going in. The 2020 nominee MUST be prepared to be a 2024 incumbent.
