Know there is a lot going on today but the story of the White House/DOJ/DNI illegally suppressing the account of an intel whistleblower is the most significant story in Washington politics right now. Watch this video, and pay attention to this emerging issue this week.
2/This IC whistleblower story remains the most important story in American politics. Deadline for the DNI to reply is today. Stay tuned. cnn.com/2019/09/16/pol…
3/DNI defies House Intel q for more information on grave national security threat. Dangerous illegal WH coverup now in motion.

House should censure DNI Maguire w/o delay; call Mulvaney and IG to testify; cease routine business until they comply w/law.
4/Anyone seen Jared lately?
5/Really smart take on the IC whistleblower and Schiff from @ThePlumLineGS
@ThePlumLineGS 6/So we learn a bit more. Is about Trump himself, and the implication here is that this "promise" somehow was a betrayal of the country. Again.

1/As House Democrats look forward, goal should be to create accountability throughout entire Administration - no more no shows, ignored document requests, lawlessness. Dems should use all their tools - hearings, subpoenas, censure, contempt, removal.
2/When things like Wilbur Ross ordering NOAA folks to fake weather reports to comport to Trump's lunacy, Congress should censure him immediately. nytimes.com/2019/09/09/cli…
3/If the DNI doesn't answer questions on Thursday he should be held in immediate contempt and censured. cnn.com/2019/09/19/pol…

1/Thread. Before Ukraine Affair blew up I wrote abt an alarming alignment in recent months of US foreign policy with Russia's. The thread below goes into detail. Afghanistan, Venezuela, Iran, Brexit, G7 mtg, Syria...

This re-embrace of Putin by Trump needs far more attention.
2/In the thread I referenced Trump holding back aid to Ukraine, who is fighting a war with Russia, as another pro-Putin move.
3/As Ukraine Affair has unfolded, kept returning to how we first became truly alarmed abt Trump's relationship w/Putin. It was at the GOP Convention, when Trump/Manafort gutted GOP commitment to provide Ukraine lethal weapons to fight Russia. Familiar? washingtonpost.com/opinions/globa…

We are seeing the President attempt to work with a foreign government to harm his Democratic opponent and illegally cover it up - again.

1) Because he got away with it the first time? 2) Should wipe away all doubts abt his guilt in 2016, obstruction. More fr @ThePlumLineGS:
@ThePlumLineGS 2/Words of a guilty man caught in the act.
@ThePlumLineGS 3/One clear reform which has to take place, soon, is that a President must be able to be indicted for breaking election laws, or we create a massive incentive to cheat and cheat big enough to win. Great insight here from @glennkirschner2

Impeachment Now! Yes, by all means. But the House IS impeaching now. What we really want is for Nancy Pelosi, in no uncertain terms, to stop dickering around and tell us so. Let’s take a closer look:

[THREAD]
1/ Pelosi, Nadler, and Schiff have all been dancing around the i-word for months. And while I wish they would have been more blunt, there have to be good reasons for the “soft opening” of the impeachment process.
2/ Maybe House Leadership feared that an older woman spearheading the process with Javert-like alacrity might not play well in the grotesquely misogynist media, which STILL gives cover to the obvious traitor & criminal in the White House. Can't be shrill, after all.

‼️WHISTLEBLOWER THEORY‼️

Let’s take the Biden ’dirt’ hunt aspect out of the story & set it aside as a horrific diversion for now.

The truth is much worse.

Remember the Cohen, Sater, Flynn, Manafort & Artemenko “Ukrainian Peace Plan” circa Feb 2017?

Putin quid pro quo?

1) Love me some archived links. Let's see what Shane Harris, Greg Miller, and Ellen Nakashima from the WaComPost have drudged up this week to cause #Whistleblower to trend.

Shane Harris being one of the imbeciles who promoted the russian spy in DC story, promotes muh Russia, etc
2) Here is the archived link to the WaPo article, because fuck your paywalls and your couches.

3) "The whistleblower complaint... involves President Trump’s communications with a foreign leader, according to two former U.S. officials familiar with the matter." TWO FORMER OFFICIALS FAMILIAR WITH THE MATTER! DRINK!

As I have been saying for a while, there isn't a bigger story in environmental politics right now than the Prince Edward Island Green Party. In the midst of an election right now and stand a very good chance of forming government in two weeks time...1/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Prin…
And this is in a first past the post system. A green government would be the first for any electoral system and likely signals even more Green Party gains in Canada over the coming months. Why?... 2/
As the Green experience iterative rounds of electoral success across the country, more and more individuals begin to believe that electing local Green MPs/MLAs is a viable use of their vote. Reshapes public expectations about collective voting behaviors...3/

It's not even 11a on Monday. This week is going to be bleeping bonkers.
NBC's Pete Williams, gold standard in #DOJ reporting, says #Rosenstein en route to White House, won't resign and will force them to fire him. As I am told, Vacancies Act only kicks in if he resigns.
Vacancies Act means if a senior official "dies, resigns, or is otherwise unable to perform the functions and duties of the office," then president can fill it w/someone already confirmed by Senate for a period of time w/o being reconfirmed. Being fired doesn't qualify as reason.
