ROAD MAP TO CONGRESS pg 220
@RepAdamSchiff @RepJerryNadler
Under applicable Supreme Court precedent, the Constitution does not categorically and permanently immunize a President for obstructing justice through the use of his Article II powers.
doc-0c-70-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/securesc/…
The separation-of-powers doctrine authorizes Congress to protect official proceedings, including those of courts and grand juries, from corrupt, obstructive acts regardless of their source.
doc-0c-70-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/securesc/…
We also concluded that any inroad on presidential authority that would occur from prohibiting corrupt acts does not undermine the President's ability to fulfill his constitutional mission.
doc-0c-70-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/securesc/…
The term "corruptly " sets a demanding standard. It requires a concrete showing that a person acted with an intent to obtain an improper advantage for himself or someone else, inconsistent with official duty and the rights of others.
doc-0c-70-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/securesc/…
A preclusion of " corrupt" official action does not diminish the President ' s ability to exercise Article II powers.
doc-0c-70-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/securesc/…
📌For example, the proper supervision of criminal law does not demand freedom for the President to act with a corrupt intention of shielding himself from criminal punishment, avoiding financial liability, or preventing personal embarrassment.
doc-0c-70-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/securesc/…
📌To the contrary, a statute that prohibits official action undertaken for such corrupt purposes furthers, rather than hinders, the impartial and evenhanded administration of the law.
doc-0c-70-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/securesc/…
It also aligns with the President's constitutional duty to faithfully execute the laws. Finally , we concluded that in the rare case in which a criminal investigation of the President's conduct is justified,
doc-0c-70-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/securesc/…
inquiries to determine whether the President acted for a corrupt motive should not impermissibly chill his performance of his constitutionally assigned duties.

doc-0c-70-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/securesc/…
‼️The conclusion that Congress may apply the obstruction laws to the President's corrupt exercise of the powers of office accords with our constitutional system of checks and balances and the principle that NO PERSON IS ABOVE THE LAW.

Barr’s incredibly misleading words

Due Process:

Prosecutors do not stand on the courthouse steps BEFORE a trial & announce a defendant is guilty of a crime, ergo SC was unwilling to stand on the steps of Congress & announce “Trump Is guilty - so impeach him.”

‼️When Trump won, Putin deployed his oligarchs

After an election marred by Moscow's attempts to buoy Donald Trump's candidacy, the Russian president wanted to cash in.
politico.com/story/2019/04/…
In December 2016, a few weeks after Trump’s surprise election victory, Putin convened what a Russian oligarch described as an “all-hands” meeting with some of his country’s top businessmen. A main topic of discussion: U.S. sanctions against Russia.
politico.com/story/2019/04/…
One of the oligarchs present was Petr Aven, co-founder of Alfa Bank, Russia’s biggest commercial bank. Aven had recently met with with Putin one on one to discuss the sanctions and what to do about them.

The Mueller report says that the lies to Congress and to the special counsel from "several individuals affiliated with the Trump Campaign" "materially impaired the investigation of Russian election interference."
The report also says that people being investigated, "including some associated with the Trump Campaign," "deleted relevant communications." The report says there are "gaps" in the special counsel's knowledge, and they can't "rule out the possibility" that there is more.
Here's Mueller's description of what he says were Trump's attempts to get him fired.

“Why do you think we call the last century the great American century? Because AMERICA SAVED THE WORLD -- not once, not twice, but THREE times from the evils of Nazism, communism, and despotism. If you want a little piece of evidence, here’s one fact to show you ...
...how different the American value system is: We’re the only people on the face of the planet, in the history of the entire world, to hold a technological advantage in war AND NOT USE IT FOR CONQUEST, but instead use it to free and liberate people around the world.
In 1945 we had the bomb no one else had.We could have taken that weapon and forced every nation on the planet to submit to us.We could have controlled the entire planet-that’s been the way of the world throughout history! Any time a nation had an advantage in war what do they do?

Blame-aportioning was not intended purpose. I have pointed out the missing link in the chain that #Congress #BJP and #MSM seem strangely unaware of or are wilfully suppressing. It is for #CBI and Govt to explain why 'Look-Out Notice' was downgraded. Not my job. #MallyaLies 1/n
As far as I am concerned available evidence shows Vijay Mallya planned his exit meticulously. He travelled abroad in October and returned in November 2015. He travelled abroad twice in December 2015. He travelled abroad in January 2016. And then fled in March. #MallyaLies 2/n
Mallya showed up for CBI interrogation. Travelled abroad and returned. All this was to create the false impression that he was not going to flee. It was a criminal mind's work. That #CBI fell for it is amazing. Does not speak highly of its leadership. 3/n

1. On September 5, Senator Graham posed a number of questions to Judge Kavanaugh during his Congressional Confirmation Hearing. Senator Graham's line of questioning took an interesting turn. It was VERY unusual. @POTUS

2. Senator Graham was doing more than asking Judge Kavanaugh legal questions.

Senator Graham was communicating to the public about the probable future of a number of government criminals and how US laws actually work.
3. Senator Lindsay Graham seems to reveal forthcoming legal actions when he inquired about criminal law vs military law to Judge Kavanaugh at the Congressional Confirmation Hearing.

So, there’s a 300 page opinion by a 3 judge panel regarding NC’s partisan gerrymandering. Guess I know what I’m doing after dinner tonight. #ncpol #ncga redistricting.lls.edu/files/NC%20cc%…
OK, so here we go…tweet storm forthcoming regarding the 300+ opinion that still holds NC partisan gerrymandering as illegal, and that this time, the plaintiff’s have met the Gill burden of having standing as being in a district that is in question:
With standing, the issue of the partisan gerrymandering by NC Republicans is in violation of the U.S. Constitution’s Article I, the 1st Amendment, and the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment:

I don't normally respond to legal analysis in @BreitbartNews, but this piece claiming that Ray Kethledge inserts his own views of morality into the law instead of following the law is just bizarre. I thought I would say why. breitbart.com/big-government…
2/ The main evidence in the article is a death penalty case, US v. Gabrion, in which Kethledge wrote the opinion for the conservative wing of the en banc 6th Circuit upholding a death sentence. Here's the opinion, and read the 1st paragraph, below. opn.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf/1…
3/ The Breitbart article claims that Kethledge based his decision on "moral considerations over constitutional originalism." How so? Gabrion's lawyers argued that he couldn't be sentenced to death for his brutal crime because the state where he committed his federal crime
