Senate hijinks; Burnie acts out

 

 

 

IMPEACHMENT

cover-up

Under this resolution, Senator McConnell is saying he doesn’t want to hear any of the existing evidence, and he doesn’t want to hear any new evidence.

A trial with no evidence—no existing record, no witnesses, no documents—isn’t a trial at all.

It’s a cover up. pic.twitter.com/NTvChfcnrJ

polling

69% in a new @cnn poll say Trump's upcoming Senate trial "should feature testimony from new witnesses who did not testify in the House impeachment inquiry." That includes 48% of Republicans vs 44% who say they do not want to hear from new witnesses. https://t.co/c2z9nqy0Md

witness reciprocity?

Joyce Vance: "Witness 'reciprocity' isn't a thing. So no, there can't be a Biden for every Bolton. Only testimony that bolsters or casts doubt on facts necessary to deciding on the articles of impeachment is relevant at trial." https://t.co/6fq3srS3RO

Because to Dersh, lying about a bj is impeachable, but violating actual laws, abusing power, inviting foreign interference into our elections, shaking down allies and illegally withholding aid from allies at war, obstruction of justice and Congress, is perfectly acceptable. https://t.co/2sybb6jKoQ

forecoming votes on impeachment

 

 

IMPEACHMENT

Votes:

IMPEACHMENT TRIAL WHEN: Plan is for Hosie to walk over articles *tomorrow*.

If Senate follows 1999 precedent, it could vote tomorrow, after that, on resolution laying out the rules for staring the trial.

—>And trial would officially open Thursday. (W oaths, etc.) https://t.co/NDBcNwGPU8

Witnesses vote

no cover-up!

This is why President Trump was impeached for obstruction of Congress, and why a Senate trial with no witnesses or documents is a cover-up. #EndTheCoverUp #DefendOurDemocracy pic.twitter.com/w9Gl5VmjBu

at leat 4 Rs

Confirmed: A source tells me White House officials increasingly believe that at least four Republicans, and likely more, will vote to call witnesses at the Senate impeachment trial including Senators Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Mitt Romney and possibly Cory Gardner.

Paul

And, as first reported by CBS News, a source tells me the WH views Sen Rand Paul of Kentucky as a "wild card" and Sen Lamar Alexander of Tennessee as an "institutionalist" who might vote to call witnesses.

That shows Trump is increasingly aware that the trial could be damaging.

oath book in 1999

THE OATH: In 1999, senators didn’t swear to be impartial just once. After taking the oath collectively, they were called on to swear individually by the chief justice and then sign an “oath book.”

evacuate, Benghazi?

How does this make any sense? O’Brien says they won’t evacuate in order to avoid “another Benghazi.” But the GOP criticism of Benghazi was that the embassy was *not* evacuated, and people died. What happens when one party simply stops trying to make sense? https://t.co/LRQ1fxwQ07

hearings, House

America and the world cannot afford war. That’s why last week, the House approved the #WarPowersResolution.

Today, the Foreign Affairs Committee is holding a hearing on the Trump Administration’s actions regarding Iran.

tweets

So far today, Trump has:

1) retweeted image of a mutilated corpse
2) retweeted Islamophobic image mocking how Muslims dress
3) misspelled Bernie Sanders's name and a slur he uses to demean Warren
4) confused "imminent" and "eminent"

it's not 11 am yet.

Wow. Elizabeth Warren stands by the account of her Dec. 2018 meeting with Bernie Sanders:

“Among the topics that came up was what would happen if Democrats nominated a female candidate. I thought a woman could win; he disagreed,” she says in a statement tonight. pic.twitter.com/zBbsRvHauu

Burnie policies

What the huge Sanders numbers really say is that he isn't thinking seriously about the details of policy; he's issuing what look like policy proposals but are actually statements of values and priorities, not meant to add up. And there's a case for doing that! 4/

— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) January 14, 2020

anti-war

So I noticed something interesting in Bernie Sanders interview with the NYT editorial board. He was asked how he would end the war in Afghanistan. One might imagine that a guy running on a platform of ending endless war would have a good answer to the question.

Bernie Sanders is always saying he’s consistent. Well he is consistently sexist. Here he is using sexist terms to demean his woman opponent and trying to exploit sexism in order to beat her. #BelieveWomen https://t.co/buDKQTS8h6
