1974 #Impeachment manual –
“83 articles of impeachment had been voted out of the House up to that point against a dozen federal judges, one senator & Andrew Johnson. FEWER THAN A THIRD actually involved specific criminal acts...
...Far more common, they wrote, was that the House was dealing with allegations that someone had violated their duties, oath of office or seriously undermined public confidence in their ability to perform their official functions.”

Smug stonewalling Corey #Lewandowski & GOP cohorts are subverting democracy at today's #impeachment hearing. Americans voted to put Democrats in power to hold this corrupt POTUS accountable. But Repubs shamelessly obstruct & spew propaganda to protect idiot POTUS & their power.😒
Lewandowski/GOP Logic: Obama, Clapper, Comey, Brennan are to blame for Russia subverting our election to install Trump … which never happened.

Also let’s jail those who tried to stop Russia’s attack but failed b/c corrupt Trump & GOP encouraged & gave Putin cover.

🤡💩🔥24/7
GOP propaganda agitprop circus aside, Lewandowski & Trump KNOW their conduct is culpable #obstruction. Otherwise Trump wouldn't be directing White House lawyers to silence Corey w/ baseless privilege assertions. & Corey would answer Judiciary Dems' questions. #ImpeachmentHearings

It's time I had my say about #Impeachment, DJT's obstructionistic tactics, and @SpeakerPelosi's not pushing for an inquiry yet.

When AG Barr released the redacted version of the report to Congress, he did *not* include any of the underlying documents on which Mueller relied.

1/
Just like a lawsuit, a case has to be built based on facts and evidence. Both the Intelligence Committee and the Judiciary Committee have been working their way through the system, including voting to hold AG Barr in Contempt of Congress. DJT has been fighting them in court.

2/
Meanwhile, the Ways and Means Committee has also been working on getting DJT's tax returns. One of the Committees has also been working on getting records subpoenaed from DJT's financial management firm and from Deutche Bank, known for Russian money laundering.

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.

With regard to Trump/Russia & #impeachment, here are things that remain true:

[THEAD]
1/ Trump’s surrogates, both in & out of the campaign proper, had many, many, MANY illicit meetings with Russians. One of the meetings took place at Trump Tower & included Trump’s son, son-in-law, & campaign chair, who hosted the sit-down with known Putin assets. Collusion? Da!
2/ Trump’s entire time in office has been one long obstruction of justice operation. Indeed, obstructing justice is the only thing he’s been successful at.

Lets talk about #Impeachment. I want to offer you a view of WHY the House of Representatives should start impeachment hearings immediately and why this is VERY bad for Mitch McConnell in the Senate. Any member of the House can initiate impeachment proceedings. This is a thread...
The impeachment initiative must be voted on in several House committees, if it passes these committees it goes to the House floor to be debated and ultimately voted on with a simple majority. If it passes it is reported (sent) to the Senate where all the evidence from the ...
House debate is presented, then some private deliberation takes place in the Senate and then the Senate take up a debate and conviciton vote, this public debate and conviction could last weeks, each day forcing republicans to debate and go on record on trump...
