This is a key point and shows that whether or not DOJ borrowed from Hoefeller, the motivation was to allow states to engage in redistricting based on voter eligible persons, which would dilute the votes of Hispanic voters---precisely the opposite of what government has said.
For more on why voter eligible redistricting (excluding children, noncitizens, and ineligible former felons) will hurt Hispanics, Democrats, and those living in cities, see the parts of Hofeller memo summarized in my @slate piece slate.com/news-and-polit…
DOJ has now shared its letter with the Supreme Court: supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/18/1…
I hadn't seen this quote from @dale_e_ho on the latest census skirmish, contained in @Tierney_Megan's latest @tpm piece (behind paywall---talkingpointsmemo.com/prime-beta/in-…)

I think many of my liberal friends are going to be unhappy with my pessimism about what the Supreme Court will do in this case.

I hope I am pleasantly surprised.
Let's game out for a bit how the evidence of DOJ lying and the real reason for Secretary Ross's decision to include the citizenship question will get before the Supreme Court and what the Court will do with the information, if anything. /1

This seemed to be the purpose of the statement.
Mueller's 's given everything Congress needs to start impeachment proceedings if it so chooses. He couldn't have been clearer. There's certainly enough to investigate impeachment based on Trump's obstruction in the report itself.
Initially I understood Speaker Pelosi's point that an impeachment inquiry against the President would be pointless if the Senate would not consider impeaching and if public opinion strongly against it. But I now believe it is the constitutional duty of Congress to investigate /1
Mueller report has strong evidence Trump obstructed justice, and this is an impeachable offense. Members of Congress take an oath to uphold Constitution and it is their constitutional duty to determine if Trump's conduct merits impeachment, regardless of political consequences /2

#Mueller clearly DID take into consideration the #DOJ policy that a sitting President cannot be indicted. His findings on obstruction are based around that. #SpinJob #BarrCoverUp justice.gov/storage/report… … … …

1) There's so much nonsense flying around right now -- speculation, non-news, fake news, distorted news. What is actually going on?

Let's take a few minutes to do a thread.
2) The non-news that the mainstream media wants you to focus on:
* Negative coverage of President Trump (e.g. drive to impeach him)
* Extremist members of Congress (appeals for attention)
* Irrelevant entertainment stories (distract with sex appeal)
3) Let's start with Guantanamo Bay.

This is an old @DeptofDefense photo (July 2004) showing something called "Combatant Status Review Tribunal Notice to detainees."

What is that?

So a lot of people have been asking about Jan Oblak, his buyout clause with Atletico Madrid and the likelihood of Liverpool bringing the player to Anfield. Allow me to shed some light on the situation.
Oblak is under contract to Atletico Madrid until June '21 and his buyout clause is reported to be 100m euros (£88.4m). The buyout clause cannot be triggered by the buying club; only the player can trigger the clause (this means the buying club would transfer funds to the player).
Up until two years ago, simply transferring the funds to the player from a buying club was subject to income tax but a change in Spanish tax rules two years ago made such transactions essentially tax-free.

 #QAnon

This thread relates to recent #Q posts and gives a big-picture explanation of the massive #Treason that #POTUS and #WhiteHats have been fighting. This almost led to a military #Coup against #Traitor44's regime.

Graphic below acts as a map to clarify key elements.
2/
 Many of the crucial components of the #Treason are contained w/in the "Shell Game" report compiled by #Patriot #ScottBennett. This was recently publicized on the internet, explained in this thread:

 Ever wonder why #DEM AND #GOP leadership opposed #Trump w/such animus? #Flynn and #Trump knew about the level of #Corruption/#Treason involving the elite, on BOTH sides of the aisle. Trump would discover, reveal, and punish their crimes (#DrainTheSwamp).

1. #QAnon's drops can require some time for personal analysis and input from the many good people digging. Here's my summary of key intel from the last week+ (1/19 - 1/27) of #Q drops. For Twitter efficiency, I will provide the direct link to the related posts as I review.
2. Chuckie Schumer was put on notice by #POTUS that his role in #Treason is known. Did you notice how # Schumer sulked away to the corner after his failed shutdown effort? 8ch.net//qresearch/res…
3. Read this whole #Q post as it has so much meaning. "Will Sessions drop the Hammer?" HAMMER refers to the very secretive NSA spying program. The same tools used to spy on #Trump will be their undoing. 8ch.net//greatawakenin…
