BREAKING on MSNBC: GOP Senator Says Abject Terror Is the Only Thing Keeping Republican Senators From Voting to Convict An Impeached Trump
NOTE/ Therefore:

FACT #1: 30 GOP senators believe Trump has committed high crimes and misdemeanors that could endanger U.S. national security

FACT #2: These 30 senators are violating their Oath of Office and threatening national security because they don't want to be primaried
NOTE2/ So I guess that until we know *which* 30 GOP senators are traitors to the United States, we just have to assume *all* of them are? For the sake of national security?

(UPDATE) Well—I was right. I wanted to be wrong. Pelosi has—as I said was clear from Democrats' public statements—revised her impeachment plan to exclude everything but Ukraine. Democrats will ignore the 10 impeachable acts of obstruction Mueller proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
SOURCE: CNN cnn.com/politics/live-…
PS/ The reason for the shift is as I said in the thread below (inexplicably maligned at the time, though it was in keeping with all of the major media reporting): Pelosi thinks the Democrats can't complete a full impeachment—on *all* the facts—fast enough.

This DOJ OLC opinion is amazing. The ICIG/DNI passed to the DOJ a complaint itemizing misconduct by many parties, including—in addition to Trump—Giuliani and unnamed White House officials who were misusing an NSC intel archive. DOJ *only* considered Trump. cnn.com/2019/09/26/pol…
1/ Much worse, in a footnote in the memo the DOJ *acknowledges* the possible misuse—by White House officials—of an NSC-maintained archive *unquestionably* under the DNI's jurisdiction, but then says *because the ICIG didn't focus on that*, DOJ won't either. Doesn't work that way.
2/ The OLC opinion explicitly envisions a case in which a non-agency party (White House officials) perpetrate a fraud on an IC agency (here the NSC) under DNI jurisdiction—*just what the whistleblower alleges*—but then concludes, falsely, "none of those circumstances exist here."

It's *this very fact* that puts the whistleblower complaint in not just the DNI's jurisdiction but the language and dicta of the statute: the individuals who maintain the NSC's now-*fraudulent* intel archive—because it's used to *hide political materials*—are overseen by the DNI.
1/ The DOJ's opinion holds that if there's *any* person in a whistleblower complaint who *isn't* beneath the DNI *and* in the intelligence community—in other words, if a president *ever* appears in a whistleblower complaint—only the president's subordinates at DOJ can address it.
2/ Not only is that—as Schiff noted—total nonsense because it may leave serious national security-implicating complaints unable to be investigated by anyone but a subordinate of the subject of the complaint, *here* it meant the DNI couldn't oversee *his own* subordinates. Crazy!

#Breaking: Just in - U.S. Senate rejects Trump's use of national emergency to build border wall with Mexico.
#Update: Just in - The senate voted 59 for and 41 against to block President Trumps emergency declaration. 12 Republican senators joined Democrats. The resolution now heads to the President's desk where he’ll likely issue the first veto of his presidency.

#BREAKING

#MichaelCohen has pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations: hush money payments to #KarenMcDougal and #StormyDaniels.

This is terrible news for Trump.
The allocution will be handed over to Congress and the #MuellerInvestigation.
#BREAKING
To be very clear, #MichaelCohen is now an admitted felon and cited Trump as his co-conspirator.

This could be turned over to Congress as a high crime and misdemeanor.

This is huge.
And what cannot be ignored is that #MichaelCohen served as Deputy Finance Chairman for the #RNC.

And Cohen just pleaded guilty to campaign finance crimes.

This implicates the party. This is no longer just about #MichaelCohen--it's about the #GOP.

#Breaking L'inénarrable ex-médecin personnel de #Trump, Bornstein, affirme maintenant qu'1"commando" formé autour de Schiller, garde du corps historique de Trump est venu s'emparer début 2017 du dossier médical du président. SANS document d'autorisation... nbcnews.com/politics/donal…
2) Le raid chez Bornstein est intervenu peu de jours après que celui-ci avait révélé dans le @nytimes que #Trump avait pris de la Propecia, médicament anti-chute de cheveux...or, pas dit par @NBCNews mais tout futur chauve comme moi sait que la Propecia est TRES controversée...
3)...la Propecia (finastéride) a été mise en cause depuis des années en France et aux USA pour provoquer des troubles graves de l'érection et de l'impuissance irréversibles. On peut comprendre dès lors que #Trump, le mâle alpha, ait été furieux contre son médecin de famille...

#BREAKING: The House Intelligence Committee has released its final — yet woefully incomplete — report on Russian interference.

docs.house.gov/meetings/IG/IG…
This is an actual excerpt from the House Intelligence Committee's final report.

So.. I thought the Trump transition team denied reports that they tried to establish a backchannel? Yet, House intel cmte is citing those efforts to refute the idea of collusion during the campaign.
Also, efforts to establish a backchannel during the transition period don't preclude 'collusion' during the campaign. It's not at all unlikely that these efforts reflect greater awareness on the part of Trump & co that their comms w/ Russian officials were under scrutiny.

#BREAKING: Facebook has suspended Cambridge Analytica for fraudulently obtaining data from Facebook users... and (it appears) using it to help the Trump campaign target ads.

newsroom.fb.com/news/h/suspend…
A reminder that the head of Cambridge Analytica wrote in an email last year that he reached out to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to ask for help finding Hillary Clinton’s missing 33,000 emails.

And Julian Assange has confirmed this.

thebea.st/2y5teY2?source…
In July 2016, Cambridge Analytica's CEO offered to help Julian Assange organize the hacked DNC/Podesta emails that WikiLeaks was releasing to make them more accessible/searchable for users.
