And in fact, the third paragraph of our op-ed contains a link to the recent @HarvLRev article by @jedshug, @andrewkent33, and Prof. Ethan Leib on “Faithful Execution and Article II,” which cogently and thoroughly makes clear that the Framers viewed the president as a fiduciary.
That law review article is here:

actually there’s a second link in that graph to the @jedshug @HarvLRev article

“The ... phrase ... ‘high Crimes and Misdemeanors’ ... was a historical term of art, derived from impeachments in the British Parliament. ... [T]he framers ... knew what it meant. It meant, as Alexander Hamilton later phrased it, ‘the abuse or violation of some public trust.’”
“[T]he framers viewed the president as a fiduciary, the government of the United States as a sacred trust and the people of the United States as the beneficiaries of that trust.”

”They believed that a president would break his oath if he engaged in self-dealing — if he used his powers to put his own interests above the nation’s. That would be the paradigmatic case for impeachment.”

“If Trump tried to use military aid to Ukraine as leverage, ... then he held Ukrainian and American security hostage to his political vendettas. It means nothing to say that no such deal was reached; the important point is that Trump abused his position in the Oval Office.”
“[W]e need not rely on a newspaper account, nor even on the complaint ... of a whistle-blower. Instead, we have a sweaty, panicked admission on national television by Trump’s bizarre homunculus, Rudy Giuliani ....”
theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
“The problem for Giuliani, the Republicans, and the president himself ... is that Biden and his actions are now irrelevant to the offenses committed by Trump. The accusations against Biden are false, as we know from multiple fact checks ....”

Putin's support in Russia is at an all-time low, so throw him an anchor, not a Trump and Macron lifeline. My new WaPo op-ed: washingtonpost.com/opinions/globa…
My op-ed contains a link to this open letter against Putin's repression, signed by dozens of prominent figures from politics, academia, and the arts. khodorkovsky.com/khodorkovskys-…
Trump advocates for Putin—when he's not exchanging love letters with Kim Jong-un & inviting the Taliban. The Dem debate didn't even mention Russia, letting both Trump and Putin off the hook. washingtonpost.com/opinions/globa…

There’s a lot to take issue with in this piece from Justin Weinberg @dailynouseditor explaining his decision not to link to the recent Quillette article on sex and gender by @docstockk . But his claim that the outcome of the Scottish Government’s consultation on the inclusion 1/
of a gender identity question in the census shows that Kathleen’s discussion is ‘scaremongering’ regarding the collection of statistics about sex is particularly egregious. To be clear: the proposal on the table was to add a third ‘non-binary’ option to the ‘sex’ question on 2/
the census form, making clear that the question involved one’s self-identified sex, which could be male, female, or neither. This proposal was defeated only because (at the instigation of @docstockk and others) person after person carefully explained how such a change would be 3/

1. @GlobeOpinion delivered a one-two punch of consecutive op-eds last week blaming environmentalists and NIMBYism for both slowing progress on climate change here in Mass. and callously off-shoring environmental degradation related to the state’s appetite for energy.
2. The first op-ed transported the reader via WABAC machine to mid-1990’s Point Fortin in Trinidad & Tobago (TT), where plans were then getting underway to build the Atlantic LNG plant/terminal.

3. Something strange happens in the 3rd paragraph of the op-ed. Though describing the events of 23 years ago, the op-ed says that the TT LNG plant was built to provide Boston “with natural gas when constrained [natural gas] pipelines into New England max out.”

Did you catch it?

BREAKING: Former Michael Flynn Business Associates Indicted in Turkey Lobbying Case via @NYTimes nyti.ms/2GoQ2qx?smid=n…
Note: The two Flynn associates indicted today -- Bijan Kian and @EkimAlptekin -- were reported by the Wall Street Journal to be part of a plot to "whisk" Fethullah Gulen from the United States outside the extradition process and deliver him to Erdogan. wsj.com/articles/ex-ci…
Digging through the 21-page indictment right now. The charges themselves do not appear to relate to any alleged kidnapping.

Here is the caption.

The indictment, however, is filled with references to Gulen, and has some explosive information. Thread ahead.

(THREAD-21 TWEETS) The Simpson-Fritsch op-ed in the NYT yesterday has carried the Trump-Russia collusion story to an entirely new, explosive level. tinyurl.com/y9dqsxxr
1/ .@NatashaBertrand has spoken to someone, apparently--possibly even Simpson and/or Fritsch?--who want(s) us to believe that the REFERENT of the crucial paragraph in their op-ed was Papadopoulos! tinyurl.com/y8xo3v32
2/ Whoever it is--even Simpson/Fritsch themselves--I make bold to say that they can say that this is what they MEANT or INTENDED TO SAY, but he / she / they cannot claim that this is what they SAID, b/c it ISN’T what they said.

Here’s the text:
