So ends a political career which proudly included, among many other things:

-voter suppression
-harsh drug prosecutions
-going absurdly hard on cannabis
-knowingly causing lifetime trauma to kids at the border
-trying to deport #DREAMers

Couldn't have happened to a worse person
Sessions could have retired yrs ago on his record as a racist paleoconservative Senator, but he'd had one career goal since the year I was born: running immigration enforcement.

Trump granted his wish, on the condition Jeff eat Trump's shit like it was Sunday dinner. So he did
Sessions was obsessed w/denying those brought to the US as children their #DREAM, and carried a unique hatred for the #DREAMAct. He lobbied Trump for the privilege of ending #DACA. And he happily designed Trump's family separation policy.

What does this man have against kids?

RE: #Impeachment

Do you recall this quote:

"Time after time, the President came to a fork in the road. Time after time, he chose the path of lies and lawlessness." - #MitchMcConnell
@senatemajldr “[Clinton] doesn’t have to say, ‘Go lie for me,’ to be a crime. You don’t have to say, ‘Let’s obstruct justice’ for it to be a crime. You judge people on their conduct, not magic phrases.” - #LindseyGraham
@senatemajldr "The true tragedy in this case is the collapse of the President's moral authority ... there is the issue of the abuse of power and authority. This White House has perfected the art of stonewalling around the truth." - #ChuckGrassley

OWN YOUR #IMPEACHMENT WORDS, GOP!

"The President can incinerate the planet. Seriously, the very idea that we ought to have at or less than the same moral demands placed on the Chief Executive that we place on our next door neighbor is ludicrous and dangerous." - #MikePence
OWN IT, @GOP!

THE CLINTON IMPEACHMENT STANDARD

The GOP set its own #impeachment standard in 1998. Let's make things simple and apply it to Trump.

#MitchMcConnell:

"Time after time, the President came to a fork in the road. Time after time, he chose the path of lies and lawlessness."
#LindseyGraham:

“[The President] doesn’t have to say, ‘Go lie for me,’ to be a crime. You don’t have to say, ‘Let’s obstruct justice’ for it to be a crime. You judge people on their conduct, not magic phrases.”
#MikePence:

"The President can incinerate the planet. Seriously, the very idea that we ought to have at or less than the same moral demands placed on the Chief Executive that we place on our next door neighbor is ludicrous and dangerous."

OK, HERE'S HOW YOU DO #IMPEACHMENT:

Call only Republicans to testify.

Use only Republican quotes from the Clinton impeachment.

Start with #MitchMcConnell:

"Time after time, the President came to a fork in the road. Time after time, he chose the path of lies and lawlessness."
GOP #IMPEACHMENT QUOTES

Here's @LindseyGrahamSC:

“[Clinton] doesn’t have to say, ‘Go lie for me,’ to be a crime. You don’t have to say, ‘Let’s obstruct justice’ for it to be a crime. You judge people on their conduct, not magic phrases.”
GOP #IMPEACHMENT QUOTES

Here's @ChuckGrassley: "The true tragedy in this case is the collapse of the President's moral authority ... there is the issue of the abuse of power and authority. This White House has perfected the art of stonewalling around the truth."

DEM LEADERS

Here's how you do #impeachment:

Compile every statement by GOP lawmakers during Clinton's impeachment.

Call only Republicans to testify and confront them with their statements.

Make this a referendum on GOP values.

BE THE PARTY THAT DEFENDS THE RULE OF LAW
I'll start. This is @senatemajldr in 1999:

"Time after time, the President came to a fork in the road. Time after time, he had the opportunity to choose the noble and honorable path. Time after time, he chose the path of lies and lawlessness..."
Here's @LindseyGrahamSC:

“[Clinton] doesn’t have to say, ‘Go lie for me,’ to be a crime,” Graham said at the time. “You don’t have to say, ‘Let’s obstruct justice’ for it to be a crime. You judge people on their conduct, not magic phrases.”
