BREAKING: MUELLER HEARING DELAYED ONE WEEK TO 7/24, according to two lawmakers on the panel.

JUDICIARY COMMITTEE WILL GET THREE HOURS INSTEAD OF TWO

Story with @AndrewDesiderio coming shortly.
@AndrewDesiderio UPDATE: The situation is fluid -- MUELLER appearing on 7/24 with an extended time for questioning appears to be the path forward. Three lawmakers have now confirmed this is what they've been told is the latest plan.

politico.com/story/2019/07/…
@AndrewDesiderio In a sign of the tentative nature of talks, a Judiciary Committee spokesman emphasized the original July 17 hearing is still on the books. “At this moment we still plan to have our hearing on the 17th and we will let you know if that changes." politico.com/story/2019/07/…

NEW: Impeachment push stalls as Mueller testimony looms. w/ @desiderioDC politico.com/story/2019/07/…
Democrats who favor impeachment proceedings are cautiously hopeful that Mueller will shake loose their undecided colleagues but many are also working to lower expectations. politico.com/story/2019/07/…
But there’s been a notable freeze since Democrats announced their Mueller hearing. The last Democrat to publicly embrace impeachment was Rep. Joe Kennedy, who came forward on June 28. He capped a two week string of near-daily announcements. politico.com/story/2019/07/…

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/…

A note on #impeachment -

In a court of law, under non-presidential circumstances, impeachment is a tool litigation attorneys use to discredit the opposing side's witnesses at trial. When said witness takes the stand under oath attys. present evidence contrary to what the witness
claims. This weakens the other side's case by discrediting impeached witnesses's testimony. Once a witness has been impeached - by presentment of inconsistent testimony - the judge/jury can no longer use the impeached witnesses's testimony in reaching a verdict.
Simply put, they aren't trustworthy. In the case of Presidential impeachment that broad definition of impeachment applies, but the impeachment tool is used for a very different purpose. Under the Constitution, a sitting President cannot be tried in a court of law for anything.

Ok. There are a ton of great articles on WHY scholars should join Twitter, but most don’t offer an in-depth HOW-to.

This leads to hesitation and timidness.

So, I present a thread “You’ve joined Twitter. Now what?” #AcademicTwitter #scicomm #SoMe
First, choose a handle you’ll be happy with 5 years from now. I’d regret creating @SarahNEU2013 now that I’ve long since graduated.

#academictwitter #scitwitter #medtwitter
Next, pick a good bio photo. A professional headshot you’ve used in other places (e.g., university directory) is smart.

Because Twitter has paused verification, I see consistent photos across multiple channels as an unofficial way to confirm you are who you say you are.

Here is an actual clause of the #USConstitution:

“...no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”

US Constitution, Article VI, Clause 3

#buescher
#nominee
#Nebraska
Suppose that Article VI had a further Clause, Clause 4, that stated, “no racial identity shall ever be the basis for a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”
Now, such a clause would prohibit the President from granting or withholding an office based on racial identity, and, in like vein, would prohibit the Senate from withholding consent to a nomination, or granting it, on the basis of racial identity.

🌎Donald Trump—🌪️Roger Stone—🔥Paul Manafort—🌬️Roy Cohn

📃Part Two

🕵️‍♂️2008: Eliot Spitzer🕵️‍♂️

villagevoice.com/2010/10/05/eli…
🔍Months before the scandal became public, Roger Stone tipped the FBI in a letter (written by Stone’s attorney Paul Rolf Jensen) that then New York Governor and former Attorney General of New York Eliot Spitzer had a “thing” for prostitutes.
🔍In March of 2008, details of the scandal came out—complete with Stone’s intimate details that Spitzer wore black dress socks while having sex.

🧚‍♂️The myth of the black sox appeared to be invented by Roger Stone.

😬Meanwhile, Spitzer was forced to resign in disgrace.
