IMPEACHMENT

Summary

The basic facts of the Russia investigation get lost in all the noise:

1. Russia had a plan to interrupt the election thru hacking & misinformation.

2. It contacted the Trump campaign.

3. The Trump campaign accepted Russia's help.

4. This wasn't just sketchy, it was ILLEGAL.

Trump has recently become intensely focused on his ability to grant pardons.

IMPEACHMENT

scoop

The president tried to preempt us .. SCOOP: Trump’s lawyers hand delivered a 20 page confidential letter to Mueller in January. We have obtained it and here is our story: w/@maggieNYT @charlie_savage @mattapuzzo https://t.co/1SqsoV8SoA https://t.co/7N4kwsvSJd

— Michael S. Schmidt (@nytmike) June 2, 2018

excerpt

In a brash assertion of presidential power, the 20-page letter — sent to the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, and obtained by The New York Times — contends that the president cannot illegally obstruct any aspect of the investigation into Russia’s election meddling because the Constitution empowers him to, “if he wished, terminate the inquiry, or even exercise his power to pardon.”

and this came off it

President Trump, according to his own lawyers, helped deceive the public about the now-infamous Trump Tower meeting between top campaign officials and a Kremlin-linked lawyer. https://t.co/VUmvkrpXSt

— Citizens for Ethics (@CREWcrew) June 2, 2018

When the news of the meeting was breaking, Trump reportedly participated in drafting a statement saying the purpose of the meeting was to talk about adoptions. Trump’s lawyers, in the letter to Mueller’s team, confirmed all that reporting.

and that came after talking to Putin

In brief, we know Trump spoke to Putin (without a note-taker) immediately before the plane ride in which his attorneys have conceded he dictated Don Jr.’s statement. Here’s what he said about that discussion to @maggieNYT @peterbakernyt and @nytmike https://t.co/DVB3YUQLM4 pic.twitter.com/IQq3AFSKiA

— southpaw (@nycsouthpaw) June 2, 2018

some history

Jay Sekulow, 7/16/17: “The President was not involved in the drafting of the statement”
