How #AfraidToImpeach enables Trump to destroy America’s rule of law:
• Criminal referral goes to U.S. Att’y on Trump crony, Erik Prince.
• Trump has @theJusticeDept sit on it.
• Just like @SpeakerPelosi let Trump off the hook, Prince gets off.

.#AfraidToImpeach – Trump's winning
"Pelosi, fearing 2020 election fallout from such a politically divisive step, had asked Democratic investigators to hold off & simply continue their inquiries. But Trump’s no-cooperation stance is blocking that mission."

By this leak, we know Dem leadership is deeply divided. On the one side we have #TrumpEnablers led by @SpeakerPelosi. On the other side we have Nobody's-above-the-law advocates led by (name withheld for fear of reprisals).

Interesting FACT: Speaker of the House does not have to be an elected representative. If the House had Robert Mueller III as Speaker of the House, my bet is he wouldn’t be #AfraidToImpeach. Hell, he even recommended it in his report. cc:@SpeakerPelosi

.#AfraidToImpeach POLL:
Shunning impeachment judicial proceedings, if House Dems issue a Contempt Citation to AG Barr for not producing the full Mueller Report & it then drags out in court for the rest of the year, how weak will Dems look?
.#SquanderingPower
So I guess if 10 counts of obstruction, abuse of power, contempt of Congress & collusion with Russia is all Mueller established, then if @SpeakerPelosi was Speaker in 1974, Nixon would have never resigned. @RepJerryNadler
.#AfraidToImpeach
Without invoking impeachment judicial processes, AG Barr can drag this out for many months.
“Sirica devoted extensive attention to the notion of ‘judicial proceeding’ & whether a judicial proceeding was unfolding in the House Judiciary.”

Now we have our answer to a question a lot of people have been asking.

ANSWER: No!
QUESTION: If Trump were to be impeached, would he leave the White House?
thehill.com/homenews/admin…
“You don’t even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job in this constitutional republic..Impeachment is not about punishment. Impeachment is about cleansing the office. It's about restoring honor & integrity to the office”– @LindseyGrahamSC 1999
washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…
5 examples of why @SpeakerPelosi’s “investigate more, impeach later (maybe)” is weak. “Current rules & case law aren’t well equipped to deal with pure, cold stonewalling ..the White House’s posture with respect to all questions or information now.”

“it is a misreading of the Constitution for any member to assert that for a member to vote for an article of impeachment means that that member must be convinced that the President should be removed from office. The Constitution doesn't say that.” – Rep Barbara Jordan, 7/25/1974

“The division between two branches of the Legislature- the House & Senate, assigning to the one the right to accuse & to the other the right to judge, the Framers ..were very astute. They did not make the accusers & the judges the same person.” – Rep Barbara Jordan, 7/25/1974

Trump’s flagrant denial of Russia’s attacking on our election sys. is nothing less than aiding/abetting Putin’s to destroy the US.
Donald’s using psychological projection by using the word “COUP”, marching the US towards a revolution in order to save him from Justice! #AMJoy
Why else do you think he keeps talking about “ Overthrew, Coup, Witchhunt, The press is the enemy of the people and his fondness for Robert E. Lee”.
Fondness for traders dictators and autocrats! Just like Robert Mueller, Donald Trump is giving you a roadmap to who he is! #AMJoy
With Donald Trump’s flagrant flouting of the rule of law can anybody guarantee he would not attempt a coup in order to stay in power? Why else would he be stacking the courts and massaging our generals? Donald’s whole demeanor is I am the Boss/Dictator and you’re the peon! #AMJoy

Lisez et relisez cette phrase (et le passage souligné en rouge) sur la campagne #Trump et la #Russie du rapport #Mueller, elle revient 2 fois dans les 15 premières pages. De la notion de "collusion" qui est d'ailleurs aussi beaucoup discutée dans les 1ères pages. #teasing
2) Après le résumé du volume 1 sur 7 pages, dont le texte précédent page 5 est extrait, le rapport #Muller narre d'abord ses découvertes sur l'opération de déstabilisation de l'élection US 2016 par l'IRA de Prigozhin, proche de #Poutine, sur les réseaux sociaux.
3) Cette partie très caviardée sur l'ingérence de l'IRA russe sur les réseaux sociaux conclut clairement: l'IRA de Prigozhin viola les lois US contre l'influence étrangère des campagnes mais les campagnes locales de #Trump contactées par l'IRA ignoraient l'origine russe (page 35)

Wait...what? What does AGAIN mean?

Well, let’s just see...shall we?
2). A meme was flown across Twitter over the past few months, coming to my attention again yesterday. I saved it so I could do this little investigation!
3.) According to this meme:
A. U.S. Immigration passed laws in accordance with the passing of the McCarran Walters Act of 1952., Revised & Re-Affirmed in 1965.

Chapter 2, Sec.212: As the PROHIBITION OF THE ENTRY INTO THE UNITED STATES IF THE ALIEN BELONGS TO AN ORGANIZATION

@Jim_Jordan Any #Trump sycophant, alleged pedophile protector, trying to besmirch this hero, while his own children will have to suffer from the decisions made for the country, is sad. Why wouldn't the #GOP make it an open door session if they had nothing to hide? Your reign ends soon.
@Jim_Jordan As time passes, more comes to light, with the Steele dossier, Trumps alleged involvement in Epstein child sex ring where Secretary Acosta stopped the FBI investigation before more suspects could be arrested, and money laundering campaign contributions from Russian operatives.
@Jim_Jordan Plus your support for a theocratic monarchy that really acts like a ruthless inhumane dictator & desire to sell American technology to them when it could then be used to kill our own troops or handed over to Russia is genuinely INSANE. Who is dishonorable, spineless sycophantic?

@pollsofpolitics @MiamiPapers @NancyPelosi @POTUS @realDonaldTrump This President is the most divisive president in the History of the republic. #TRUMP has publicly stated that he enjoys the chaos and conflict he causes in his administration, the Congress, and in the coutry. He stated that turnover, resignations, and turmoil gives him pleasure
@pollsofpolitics @MiamiPapers @NancyPelosi @POTUS @realDonaldTrump This proves his psychopathic mental illness and is dangerous and destructive to a democratic republic whose strength is in its UNITY and the RULE OF LAW that protects the least of us through equal treatment under the law. Our president routinely attacks BOTH, as AGENT OF RUSSIA!
@pollsofpolitics @MiamiPapers @NancyPelosi @POTUS @realDonaldTrump #POTUS has laundered money for #Russia for DECADES. It is the ONLY reason he was able to come back from multiple bankruptcys. He is on Russia's pocket, and they KNOW it. It is why he is fearful that he will be poisoned. He should have learned the moral of his #snake allegory.

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.
