"Dear Democrats: Mueller Just Handed You a Roadmap for Impeachment. Follow It."

My new piece for @theintercept on today's #MuellerReport. It's an open letter to House Dems arguing for #ImpeachTrump - do pls have a read and share:
theintercept.com/2019/04/18/dea…
For my new piece, I spoke to former Congresswoman Elizabeth Holtzman, who was on the House Judiciary Committee in 1974 & helped write the articles of impeachment against Nixon, & asked her what she made of the #MuellerReport so far & impeaching Trump:
theintercept.com/2019/04/18/dea…
"If a president who has repeatedly...misled the American people; welcomed the interference of a foreign government in the U.S. election process ...obstructed justice on multiple occasions... is not “worth” impeaching, then… which president is? When will it ever be “worth” it?"
"If you’re not willing to remove this president from office, in the wake of this damning report, you might as well remove the impeachment clause from the Constitution. If not Trump, who?" - me to House Democrats in @theintercept today #MuellerReport

Dear @SamHarrisOrg, it's been a week since you tried to smear me for ancient remarks that I've disowned&apologized for. When I pointed out more than a dozen of your own bigoted remarks,

you went very quiet. So, I have some questions for you:
*THREAD*
1/
Dear @samharrisorg, you often say you're quoted 'out of context'. That's your go-to, standard defense. But what's the context that justifies you saying: "If I could wave a magic wand and get rid of either rape or religion, I would not hesitate to get rid of religion?"
2/
Dear @SamHarrisOrg, you often claim that you're not attacking Muslims, the people, only Islam, the idea or faith. But that's not true, otherwise, how do you explain saying "Muslim immigrants" demand "tolerance for their backwardness, their misogyny, their anti-Semitism"?

Sam Harris launched a personal attack on me, cynically trying to smear me based on ancient, edited remarks I long ago disowned & have repeatedly regretted/apologized for.

So here's a #thread of 15 years of his own bigoted/offensive remarks that's he's never apologized for:
1/
"It is time we admitted that we are not at war with "terrorism". We are at war with Islam." - Sam Harris, 2004
washingtontimes.com/news/2004/dec/…
2/
"Muslim immigrants often show little inclination to acquire the secular and civil values of their host countries...demanding tolerance for their backwardness, their misogyny, their anti-Semitism..." - Sam Harris, 2004

For the record, @SamHarrisOrg likes to pretend that his nonstop attacks on Islam and Muslims are about ‘ideas’ not about ‘people’, and not at all bigoted.

That’s a lie, as his own words - which he has never apologized, and is rarely ever asked to explain! - clearly demonstrate:
Full quote and link (as he and his followers like to always claim he was misquoted) to Sam's unapologetic bigotry and anti-Muslim racism:
samharris.org/the-reality-of…
Imagine, just imagine, if @SamHarrisOrg had said: "Jewish immigrants often show little inclination to acquire the secular and civil values of their host countries, and yet exploit these values to the utmost—demanding tolerance for their backwardness, their misogyny" etc.

I believe impeachment should be pursued despite any political circumstances. This is about first principles- a moral imperative that our generation is now called on to uphold. We must do so even as we fight tooth and nail to rebuke Donald Trump and his party at the polls in 2020.
The Mueller report is a clear and devastating roadmap for impeachment on grounds of obstruction of justice in the Russia investigation. But it is not the only grounds. There are a range of other grave concerns to consider in hearings we must demand urgently:
•Violations of the Domestic and Foreign Emoluments Clauses of the U.S. Constitution
•Presidential actions giving aid and comfort to white supremacists and neo-Nazis
•Unlawfully directing the Justice Department and the FBI to investigate political adversaries

I am so sick of people defending the democrats not impeaching Trump. How the fuck can you sit on Twitter and complain about Trump but then not want to impeach him? The Dems are WEAK! There is no endgame. They are not masterminds and not working on some masterplan. The
Reality is establishment Dems like Pelosi (who in reality is Republican light and preaching bipartisanship in a far right era) don’t want to upset their donors by impeaching. Being apathetic toward Trump and not impeaching him is tolerating his batshit crazy behavior. Let’s not
Forget he had already committed NINE impeachable offenses PLUS what was in today’s #MuellerReport. It’s the Democrat’s JOB to impeach the President when he breaks the rule and the Dems are refusing to do that because they are arrogant sellouts who just want to pretend we are all

The Democrats that rule out impeachment don't care about fulfilling their duty to the country but rather are pathetically afraid of losing centrist and red state votes. #MuellerReport 1/7
That is why they lose support from party members in their constituency who are tired of the moderate, centrist do-nothings and are more excited than ever by @BernieSanders , @AOC, @SenWarren and the like. 2/7
Dems in leadership posts like @SenSchumer , @SpeakerPelosi @LeaderHoyer (and @HillaryClinton) are the causes of many of their own problems and hurt us all in the meantime. 3/7

The Barr version of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Report 🇺🇸 justice.gov/storage/report…
Mueller said Trump’s written answers “inadequate” but did not serve a subpoena because of the “substantial delay” that this would cause. Yet, they have “sufficient evidence to understand relevant events and to make certain assessments without the President’s testimony.”
Mueller says President Trump NOT cleared on obstruction of justice.

"If we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state."

House Judiciary plans vote this week to subpoena #MuellerReport - The Washington Post washingtonpost.com/politics/house…
If Barr skips Apr 2 deadline, HOUSE WILL SUBPOENA #MuellerReport into Russian interference + 5 aides MCGAHN, BANNON, HICKS, PRIEBUS, DONALDSON

NADLER: Congress requires the full & complete Special Counsel report—w/o redactions—and access to the underlying evidence—without delay.
"The entire reason for appointing the special counsel was to protect the investigation from political influence. By offering us his version of events in lieu of the report, the attorney general, a recent political appointee, undermines the work and the integrity of his department

When the full Mueller report finally becomes public (as it surely will, Barr's herculean efforts to suppress it notwithstanding), will journalists and pundits cover its contents as breathlessly as they have the Barr memo? #ReleaseTheFullMuellerReport
