Adam Schiff to Republican colleagues: Many of you have acknowledged your deep misgivings about Trump in quiet conversations, bemoaned his lack of decency & inability to tell the truth [but] keep your rising alarm private. That must end. You must speak out.

Adam Schiff to Republican colleagues: "If we cannot rise to the defense of our democracy now, in the face of a plainly unconstitutional aggrandizement of presidential power, what hope can we have that we will do so with the far greater decisions?"

Adam Schiff to Republican colleagues: When Trump attacked the independence of the DOJ by intervening in a case in which he is implicated...attacked the press as enemy of the people...targeted the judiciary, labeling judges he didn’t like as illegitimate, you did not speak out.
Adam Schiff to Republican colleagues: "The time for silent disagreement is over. You must speak out. This will require courage...But such acts of independence are the most profound demonstrations of loyalty to country."

Thank you, @RepAdamSchiff.

Jupiter police have video of individuals entering and leaving a spa where acts of prostitution allegedly occurred and have documented instances of the alleged crimes of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft [who donated $1M to his pal Trump's inaugural].

5 day spas were targeted as a part of the SEX TRAFFICKING investigation: Cove Day Spa and Therapy Spa in Stuart, Bridge Day Spa and Sequoia Apple Day Spa in Hobe Sound, and Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter.

BREAKING: The Manhattan district attorney’s office is preparing state criminal charges against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort to ensure he will still face prison time even if Trump pardons him for his federal crimes.
by @WRashbaum #Maddow nyti.ms/2NjTgLA
The New York D.A. began investigating Manafort in 2017 but deferred the inquiry so as not to interfere with Mueller’s case. They resumed their investigation recently and a state grand jury is expected to wrap up and vote on charges in coming weeks.
#Maddow
NY state prosecutors have prepared charges against Paul Manafort they can file quickly if Trump pardons him. DA Cy Vance’s office has identified areas where Manafort can be charged with state offenses without triggering double jeopardy protections.

hahahahahahahahaaha.
ICYMI, @AlanDersh, the investigation showed that the plea deal you, Ken Starr, Acosta, and other federal prosecutors cooked up to protect your child rapist bestie, Jeffrey Epstein, broke federal law.
Runaway teen Virginia Roberts was working at Trump's Mar-a-Lago when she was lured by child-rapist Jeffrey Epstein into a life of depravity and sexual abuse. Epstein 'lent' her to other men for sex, including his attorney, Alan Dershowitz.

Powerful Op-Ed in the WaPo penned by Adam Schiff, Chairman of the House Intel Committee:

AN OPEN LETTER TO MY REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES

❇️❇️

<THREAD below of a few parts that stood out to me, distilled from the Op-Ed — verbatim>

1/9
This is a moment of great peril for our democracy. Our country is deeply divided.

At last week’s Munich Security Conference, the prevailing sentiment among our closest allies is that the United States can no longer be counted on to champion liberal democracy or defend the

world order we built.

Although many forces have contributed to the decline in public confidence in our institutions, one force stands out as an accelerant, like gas on a fire. And try as some of us might to avoid invoking the arsonist’s name,

“To my Republican colleagues: When the president attacked the independence of the Justice Department by intervening in a case in which he is implicated, you did not speak out. When he attacked the press as the enemy of the people, you again were silent. When he targeted the
judiciary, labeling judges and decisions he didn’t like as illegitimate, we heard not a word. And now he comes for Congress, the first branch of government, seeking to strip it of its greatest power, that of the purse.”

“Many of you have acknowledged your deep misgivings about
the president in quiet conversations over the past two years. You have bemoaned his lack of decency, character and integrity. You have deplored his fundamental inability to tell the truth. But for reasons that are all too easy to comprehend, you have chosen to keep your

It’s hard to listen to a man with such a demonstrated inability to tell the truth — or even keep his word with members of either party — try to sell us on the idea that he’s now ready for bipartisanship and unity, that he’s poised to bring us together. #sotu
.@realDonaldTrump’s fantasies about his wall, his deafening silence on climate change & his Nixonian attack on @TheJusticeDept investigators, did not help.
I do applaud @realDonaldTrump’s recognition of our soldiers & law enforcement officers for the terrific work they do, and am eager to help with childhood cancer, infrastructure, and lowered drug prices.

We’ll see how serious he is about those issues in the weeks ahead. #SOTU
