1/ @tribelaw - The House should not impeach Trump, because the Senate would acquit him. Instead, the House should pass a "Sense of the House" resolution that the President is impeachable, but "declin[e] to play the Senate's corrupt game." washingtonpost.com/opinions/impea…
2/ Tribe contends that the President could "refute the charges" before the House Committee, so a full trial in the Senate is not needed.
3/ This option resembles the Mueller Report: lodge accusations against the President, and deny him the opportunity to respond in a forum that allows him to rebut the charges, and one that is presided over by an Article III Judge.

1/ Running thread as I read through the 88 pages (!) of Gamble v. US. First, I'll start w/ J. Alito's majority opinion #SCOTUS
2/ Gamble considered a draft of the Double Jeopardy Clause that was rejected. Alito says this draft should "count for little" bc "The private intent behind a drafter’s rejection of one version of a text is shoddy evidence of the public meaning of an altogether different text"
3/ In other contexts, Justices have given great weight to rejected proposals. For, in Lee v. Weisman context, J. Souter focused at great length about earlier versions of the Establishment Clause that were rejected. scholar.google.com/scholar_case?c…

1/ A House bill was introduced that would prohibit the expenditure of any federal money on Trump properties amendments-rules.house.gov/amendments/COH…
2/ This bill may run afoul of Nixon v. GSA's prohibition on Bills of Attainder. supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/… First, the law at issue in Nixon concerned the President, by name, but also implicated the papers of other Presidents. This new law *only* concerns Trump properties.
3/ Second, the Court considers "whether the legislative record evinces a congressional intent to punish." Here, the record is quite clearly designed to punish Trump and only Trump

@SaraCarterDC I like you and John, because I know you are good people. But right now America needs good investigative journalists who can uncover and expose the truth to the American people. Was Arvinder Zambi who is alleged to be Robert Mueller's handler since 9-11 also....
...Arvinder Zambi is allegedly the handler for George Papadopoulos which is the counterintelligence investigation bad evidence. And on top of supposedly also being Mueller's handler since 9-11, she is attached to the Queen and the privy counsel. That leads straight to British....
...involvement in this Coup d'etat to overthrow the Govt of the US, and a duly elected sitting President. This is big stuff Sara, and you and John have yet to even make the connection. We know Halper, and Downer, both FBI/CIA assets came from the UK. This could be an act of War!!

@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?

Steps to impeach a President, if you haven't seen it before. Here goes! Again.

1. A notice of any allegation in writing alleging gross misconduct on the part of the President. This notice must be signed by not less than one-third of the members of the National Assembly.
#Impeach
2. The Senate President must within seven days, serve the President and each member of the National Assembly with a copy of the notice of allegation.

Steps 1 & 2 look easy enough.

#Impeach
3. The President has a right of reply (he does not have to reply however), and any such statement in reply to the allegation must be served on each member of the National Assembly.

Simple, right?

#Impeach

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
