IMPEACHMENT

obstruction

Smoking guns like these tend to be obscured by the very smoke they generate . . . until they’re showcased in national tv hearings with live firsthand witnesses who blow the smoke away. Live testimony made all the difference with Nixon. This is way worse.https://t.co/SWzoMuLqgp

Cummings

Good for @RepCummings. Equally relevant: History will condemn all who stand up for their careers or their party but abandon the Constitution and the country. This is a “where were you when” moment. Where were you and what did you do? Which side were you on? https://t.co/PH461796xi

Schiff

Did the President obstruct justice?

Yes.

Was it worse than Watergate?

Yes.

This break in was by a hostile foreign adversary. This president welcomed their help. This president lied about it and sided with that power over his own agencies.

The United States is led by a Kremlin-backed candidate who frequently praises autocrats, disparages allies and — based on the findings in the Mueller report — sought repeatedly to thwart the Russia investigation. The dividends for Moscow just keep coming. https://t.co/xdOmia2Jma

right to know

But they don't have a right to know Trump's sources of income, who he has been in debt to, and whether foreign governments are enriching him via Mar-a-Lago and Trump hotels, right, @RudyGiuliani ?https://t.co/RWvyqpuESI

Specifically, what turned the tide seems to have been lengthy public hearings that documented the extent of Nixon's (and his team's) wrongdoing. https://t.co/mOIiq9udwg

Introduction

The introductions to the two volumes of the Mueller Report do not contain a single redaction and could have been released in full on March 24 instead of the Barr letter. https://t.co/HiR88vZyNf

unsolved

More questions:

– Was there a link between Trump Org and Alfa Bank?
– Did Cambridge Analytica have ties to Russia or WikiLeaks?
– What was NRA relationship with the Trump campaign and Russia?
– What did WikiLeaks know about the source of the emails?https://t.co/u72X0sa23u

excerpts

A common complaint about the media – sometimes a fair one! – is that reporters took a quote out of context. Whenever I see a short quote it sends me looking for the full quote. So what happened when William Barr offered short quotes of the Mueller report?

If you ID as progressive and you're somehow Sanders over Warren, there's a big gender question right in front of your nose. You should answer it. Confront it. Because she's better by every single factor there is.

whiteness

I'm getting the feeling that some people actually want the Democratic party to recenter itself around whiteness. Either that or they've completely forgotten they're running in a *Democratic* primary & that our last president was a black man w/ a 90% approval rating in the party. https://t.co/xN2HXCFQpy

you too can launder $

and

The book Verso published was Outsider in the White House which Forbes reported as selling around $10k copies by April 2016.

A payment of $400k covers a lot of copies of a book that wasn’t moving when those payments were made.https://t.co/5fxsUjPMXw pic.twitter.com/74oUuI5kIz

no last FEC filing

The whole "Bernie paid $444,937.50 in campaign cash to buy his own book" may be legal –

It may be the norm.

But it still raises more questions then answers.

Bernie never filed his last FEC disclosure. The one's he did file, was riddled with over 600 violations…
