Trump reportedly tried to get a loyalist put in charge of the SDNY investigation into hush-money payments during the 2016 campaign, another sign that he considers himself above the law.
nytimes.com/2019/02/19/us/…
The man he asked to accomplish it: Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker, who reportedly told associates his job was to "jump on a grenade" for the president. nytimes.com/2019/02/19/us/…
Trump and his lawyers also reportedly secretly coordinated with Republican congressmen, including not just Devin Nunes but also Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan, to publicly undermine the Russia investigation.

House Republicans have started selectively leaking transcripts of closed-door testimony and making wildly misleading claims about what they show. We wrote back in September about how that’s a big part of their strategy to cover for Trump. themoscowproject.org/dispatch/we-re…
It’s the same basic playbook as the Nunes Memo: release an official-looking document, pretend it discredits the investigation, and hope nobody reads it and sees that it does nothing of the sort. themoscowproject.org/dispatch/nunes…
Fortunately, they’re no longer in the majority, so there’s something Democrats can do about it: hold open hearings that, like Michael Cohen’s testimony from February, will actually inform the public about the truth. themoscowproject.org/dispatch/cohen…

A new report from Estonian intelligence warns that Russia “is very likely to try to intervene in the European Parliament elections” to undermine the E.U. nbcnews.com/news/world/rep…
That’s a good reminder that it’s never just been about Trump—Russia has been meddling in elections around the world to try to advance its goals. Here’s a partial list of places interference has been reported since 2016:

THREAD: Breaking Down the 81 Names on House Judiciary’s List (1/9) themoscowproject.org/dispatch/break…
With Trump’s accomplices no longer running the show, the House is finally running a real investigation. This week’s big move: requesting documents from 81 people and entities associated with Trump. (2/9) theguardian.com/us-news/2019/m…
That’s a huge first step toward getting to the bottom of what historians are already calling the biggest political scandal in American history. Here’s a breakdown of who’s on the list: (3/9) axios.com/donald-trump-r…

If Trump had never met a Russian, he should be impeached for his corruption while in office. Had he never been corrupt, he should be impeached for trying to defraud the American people with hush money payments during the campaign.
If he had never done that, he should be impeached for his obstruction of justice in the Russia investigation. If he had never done that, he should be impeached for his willful dereliction of his presidential responsibilities in Puerto Rico and elsewhere.
If he had never done that he should be impeached for his serial violation of human rights and international law at our borders. If he had never done that he should be impeached for his decades of hidden tax fraud.

The argument that a criminal president should not be indicted rests on the premise that it would destabilize the government and interfere with the president fulfilling his constitutional duties. Trump has destabilized the government already and he's attacked the Constitution.
For a criminal sitting president who has held himself above the law, indicting @realDonaldTrump would help restore the rule of law and, through his removal, would help restore political stability.
Arguing that indicting Trump would impede him fulfilling his duties overlooks how often he neglects his duties to advance his own self-interests.

🛑BREAKING🛑

VERY bad news for @realDonaldTrump and his spawn: Allen Weisselberg, the longtime Trump Org CFO, was granted #immunity for providing information about Michael Cohen in the criminal investigation of hush-money payments during the campaign‼️

wsj.com/articles/allen…
No confirmation yet if Weisselberg's #immunity extends to providing dirt on Trump, Don Jr, Eric, and Kremlin🇷🇺Barbie, but we know that Mueller is following the money, so...😎

#TrumpCrimeFamily
#MuellerTime

🔥When a mob family's money guy flips, this is as BAD as it could possibly get. Weisselberg worked for *Donald's father* and has been the @Trump Org's money man for DECADES.😎
