1. Don’t mean to be flooding the feeds (is that a thing?) but I have to comment on yet another Trump “impeachable moment.” He actually announced he will not comply with ANY Congressional supboenaes. This, of course, was the 3rd Article of Impeachment of Nixon (see pic below)...
2. Trump did not say he would evaluate each subpoena issued by Congress to see whether any privilege or other reason to challenge the subpoena might exist. He said he will refuse to comply with EVERY subpoena, whether lawfully issued or not. THIS IS CONTEMP OF CONGRESS. PERIOD..
3. and is therefore in the heartland of impeachable offenses. Congress - with each “impeachable moment” Trump is making your job easier. He has abdicated his responsibilities as president. The time is now! #ImpeachableMoments

1. Let’s talk about Barr’s answer (ok, non-answer) to Sen. Kamala Harris’s question about whether Trump or anyone at the White House asked or suggested that he should open a criminal investigation on anyone. Here is why there is a strong likelihood that Barr committed perjury...
2. First, I’ll state the obvious: his evasiveness made him look like a liar. Indeed, he looked like hundreds of lying witness w/ whom I interacted during my 30 years as a prosecutor. After Sen. Harris posed the question, Barr hemmed, hawed and sputtered and finally asked her...
3. to repeat a very straight-forward, simple question. This is often done by liars who are stalling for time as they struggle to find a plausible lie. A further “tell” is Barr’s next evasive measure, saying “I’m grappling with the word ‘suggested.’” Really? A fourth grader...

1. When I was a federal prosecutor, if I had been directed to participate in a vindictive, political investigation I would have refused. As an Amy JAG, I was taught that we have a DUTY to disobey unlawful orders. The FBI was investigating Russian interference in our elections...
2. The investigation revealed sweeping and sustained Russian efforts to interfere in our elections to help Trump. The investigation also revealed that the Trump campaign welcomed and encouraged that illegal Russian assistance. Trump is now ordering that...
3. FBI agents be investigated for doing their sworn duty to investigate a cyber-attack on our country. This is a grotesque & criminal abuse of presidential power. Congress must address this runaway, criminal president. The continued viability of our country hangs in the balance.

1. Something I don’t understand: when we try cases, the “order of call” is enormously consequential. You want your strongest witnesses up front because the jury forms perceptions of your case - of the truth of what happened - through the testimony of each witness as they testify.
2. So you put weaker/more problematic witnesses toward the end of your case so the jury is less likely to be turned off to your case by the weaker witnesses. In other words, you want the jury to evaluate the weaker witnesses through the prism of what they learned ...
3. From the stronger witnesses. Now, we already know Barr is a liar who is determind to protect the president at all costs. We just saw that when he appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Why in the world is the House interested in hearing the same lies from Barr?

Out today! My new, chart-rich paper on trade, globalization & US public opinion:
cato.org/publications/f…
So now a thread on why I wrote this paper - the data for which were surprisingly difficult to gather (thanks, @pewresearch, @Gallup, @ChicagoCouncil, etc for the help!) - and what it reveals /2
The malleability of US public opinion on trade is something I first noticed years ago (and briefly discussed in this paper from 2011: cato.org/publications/f…). Trade polls have long fluctuated depending on politics, rhetoric & the economy. /3

1 fois encore, les menaces et intimidations du président #Trump sur Theresa #May à propos du #Brexit rappellent qu'il est dépositaire d'1 projet idéologique cohérent, à la fois nationaliste et mercantiliste, soutenu et déployé par le milliardaire US Robert #Mercer... #thread
2) Au coeur de l'interview au #Sun du président US #Trump, on retrouve en effet les piliers de sa doctrine politique: le peuple, ici britannique, vs des élites qui trahiraient le vote du #Brexit, la volonté de démanteler les bureaucraties étatiques ou supra-étatiques type UE...
3)...et la menace de #Trump à #May sur 1 accord commercial des #EtatsUnis avec l'#UE en cas de #Brexit doux démontre l'approche mercantiliste"bilatérale"où les partenaires US sont mis en concurrence et amenés à se soumettre par la position dominante US. washingtonpost.com/world/europe/i…

1. In 1987 it is believed that #Trump was recruited by #SovietUnion, specifically recruited by Kryuchkov head of First Chief Directorate, a division within the #KGB who's primary responsibility was to gather foreign intelligence

#Trump #Russia #SovietUnion #Treason
2.Both Kryuchkov and #Gorbachev faced #Reagan as #President, and he was in the #SovietUnion´s eyes regarded as a very strong leader, the opposite of #Carter of #Ford, when dealing with them.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full

President and Mrs. Trump are dining at the Trump Hotel DC right now.
It’s a 7:41 drive from the White House to the Trump Hotel DC (with a motorcade; slower for you).
