Wow: Casten is another swing district member to back impeachment. That makes three, along with @RepMalinowski and @RepKatiePorter.

The impeachment push has clearly not stalled — it’s now pushing over 70 Democrats and converting members in purple/red seats >>>
And Schakowsky was even a data point in this Post story this week as a Democrat deferring to Pelosi on impeachment. That changed in four days. google.com/url?sa=i&sourc…
Third Democrat of the day -- Tony Cardenas -- backs impeachment inquiry.

NEWS: McGahn deputy Annie Donaldson refused to answer 212 questions about her Mueller testimony at the direction of the White House. Story TK

judiciary.house.gov/sites/democrat…
NEW: Annie DONALDSON said the WH blocked her from answering Mueller-related questions 212 times, and she couldn't "independently" recall answers to another 15 questions.

Another witness with little to say to the House Judiciary Committee. w/ @desiderioDC

politico.com/story/2019/07/…
@desiderioDC DONALDSON invoked the "confidentiality interests" of the Executive Branch in refusing to answer Democrats' questions.

This is different than the "absolute immunity" claim that White House lawyers invoked for Hope Hicks last month. politico.com/story/2019/07/…

NEW: GOP allies of President Trump are hoping to use his Capitol Hill testimony to raise doubts about his report and his integrity. A look at their strategy — and how Mueller might fend them off, w/ @MZanona @dsamuelsohn @NatashaBertrand

politico.com/story/2019/07/…
Members like Matt Gaetz, Devin Nunes and Andy Biggs are among the 25 Republicans who get to grill Mueller next month.

Louie Gohmert has hated Mueller for more than a decade and told us he considers Mueller an “anal opening.” He’ll also get five minutes. politico.com/story/2019/07/…
The toughest questions, though, are likely to come from Rep. Jim JORDAN, who plans to press Mueller on when he determined not to charge any Americans with conspiring with Russia and whether the bias of Pete Strzok influenced the probe. politico.com/story/2019/07/…

JUST IN: The Ethics Committee has launched an investigation into Rep. GAETZ for refusing to cooperate with initial inquiries about his veiled threat to reveal embarrassing information about Michael Cohen. Story TK.
Reached for comment, Gaetz didn't sound like he intends to cooperate with this new probe either:

"If members of Congress want to spend their time psychoanalyzing my tweets, it’s certainly their prerogative. I won’t be joining them in the endeavor. Too busy. “
NEW: A formal House Ethics Committee's investigation of Matt Gaetz was launched today after he blew off the panel's initial May 16 inquiry about this since-deleted tweet. politico.com/story/2019/06/…

#IMPEACHMENT IS **NOT** JUST ABOUT #MUELLER

Donald Trump has violated his oath to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

He has done so by repeatedly attacking the free press as "enemies of the people," a direct subversion of the First Amendment.
The sycophants cowards, and right-wing extremists of the GOP will never have the courage or principle to follow in #JustinAmash's footsteps. And sad to say, the Democratic Party leadership is still dithering, refusing to do their constitutional duty.
So has anything changed today or is #impeachment still on hold? And if so, WHY?

After the war (s8 didnt happen but haggar has been defeated), it takes exactly two years, three months, and nine days for Shiro to be bullied into taking an actual vacation. Two weeks of forced relaxation somewhere he can't easily access the Atlas or paperwork. (a #sheith thread)
Veronica and Pidge both call Keith with the news to enlist his help in making this actually happen.
(No one trusts Shiro to actually take a break if left to his own devices and rightly so. He has a contraband work data pad stashed in his halfpacked bag)
Keith agrees immediately and tells them he'll fly Shiro to the resort on Flurian III that Pidge booked him a stay at himself to make sure he actually goes.
Krolia and Kolivan all but order him to take the same two weeks himself since he's bad at vacations too.

1. I am so sick of hearing that the ONLY reason Trump should be impeached is if he conspired with a foreign power to steal the election. Let's remove that entire smokescreen and look at impeachment as a tool and why Trump needs to be impeached EVEN WITHOUT conspiracy allegations.
2. First, let's be clear about the ramifications of Pelosi's impeachment-is-too-divisive bullshit. We heard this before, about 15 years ago, when she took impeachment "off the table" even though the Bush administration lied us into an illegal war of aggression and ...
3. And violated Geneva conventions to make torture part of the intelligence toolbox. Here is what I opined then: "When Speaker Pelosi declared that the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney was “off the table,” she not only abdicated her Constitutional..."

THREAD: Remember the claims by @realDonaldTrump & cronies that he'd sit for an interview w/Mueller⁉️

Trump LIED.🙄

Trump’s lawyers have **for months** tried to prevent Mueller from trying to force Trump to answer questions = #subpoena‼️ 1/

nytimes.com/2018/06/02/us/…
In a letter to Mueller, Trump's lawyers claim that Trump "cannot be compelled" to testify.🙄

WRONG! Mueller can #subpoena Trump to FORCE him to testify **in front of the grand jury**.😎

Trump's lawyers CAN be w/him for an interview, but NOT for grand jury testimony.😉 2/
Trump's lawyers also claim Trump "could not possibly have committed obstruction b/c he has unfettered authority over all federal investigations."🤨

Yeah, just ask Nixon about that‼️3/

› back to black ‧ taekook au

the one where taehyung is a spy, jungkook is his target, and the world is their playground.
The first time Taehyung goes on a mission, it’s by complete accident.

There’s some sort of chaos outbreak at HQ, and before he knows it, Taehyung--an untrained, unpaid, unsure intern--is swept into a slick black SUV and sent off to an unknown location.
He looks around, not very optimistic at the sight of the other nervous faces in the car. When the vehicle finally stops, the doors are pulled open by a very gruff-looking man, his face streaked with blood and his arm in a rough-looking sling.
