IMPEACHMENT

election steal was OK

Just so we’re clear on how fucked up this all is:

– Trump ADMITTED Russia interfered to help him in the election.

– Instead of prosecuting (or punishing) Russia for this, he told them it was “fine.”

– Then he illegally HID the record of the conversation on a SECRET SERVER. https://t.co/IJu4jt1zn8

NEW: Trump told Russian officials in 2017 oval meeting that he wasn’t concerned about their 2016 election interference because the US does it as well. It prompted a lockdown of documents describing call. W/@shaneharris & @nakashimae: https://t.co/HnbFibckAD

Mueller?

It appears the Mueller team collected the notes of the Oval Office meeting with Lavrov and Kislyak that @shaneharris and his team reported new details about tonight; see the first reference in fn 468. Hopefully that means it’s not just locked on a WH server. pic.twitter.com/NTU6EJd0Xn

Ukrainian prosecutor

FYI, the Obama Administration wanted Ukraine's prosecutor fired, in part, because he WASN'T investigating Burisma (the company Hunter Biden was connected to). Here's our Ambassador's speech in 2015 excoriating the prosecutor for NOT taking on Burisma.https://t.co/As7ZcOYCrp
