In how many ways in one incident can one person be wrong? Let us count the ways:
1. Seeking foreign interference to undermine our free and fair elections; 2. Asking another country (one not governed by our laws or constitutional constraints/protections)...
to investigate a political opponent and his son; 3. Hold hostage money allocated by Congress to that other country to coerced that country to do your dirty political opposition work for you; 4. Hold hostage money allocated to save lives - money designed to help Ukraine ...
protect itself and its people against unlawful, violent aggression by Russia; 5. employing your personal lawyer in your illegal scheme; 6. Employing the Attorney General of the United States in your illegal scheme; 7. Hiding the recorded call of the evidence of your crimes ...
in a server not designed to store such calls; 8. Having your Justice Department pretend to “review” the matter and instantly conclude you’ve done nothing wrong; 9. Doing all of the above after a lengthy investigation into your prior improper coordination with Russia to gain...
unfair advantage in 2016, putting you directly on notice that soliciting foreign interference in our elections is wrong (yet you immediately do it again); 10. You then call those who exposed your wrongdoing “spies” and suggest they should be executed. That’s some Top 10 List.

As I sat having my coffee this morning, I looked at the Federal Criminal Code book sitting on my kitchen table (don’t ask). It’s 2000 pages of dense, often-confusing, legal jargon setting out thousands and thousands of federal crimes. How does this book relate to impeachment?
In order to impeach Trump, we need not ask, “Did Trump commit a crime? Is there some criminal law in this big, blue book that we can prove Trump broke, some statute he violated?“ This precise question is what bogged us down in the wake of the Mueller report.
It’s understandable that people would see the phrase in the Constitution, “high crimes and misdemeanors” and conclude that, in order to be impeached, Trump literally must violate one of the laws in this ugly blue Federal Code book. Not so, here’s why:

1. Partisans are quick to attack Max Stier, claiming that because he was on Bill Clinton’s defense team his observations of Kavanaugh’s misconduct can’t be believed. Guess who else was on the Clinton defense team? Emmet Flood - one of Trump’s defense attorneys!
2. Let’s discuss: partisans love to ruin people for sport & relish trashing reputations to score even petty political points. But their claims often crumble under even casual scrutiny. As has been reported recently, Max Stier witnessed sexual misconduct by Kavanaugh when . . .
3. they attended Yale together. Stier runs a nonpartisan nonprofit organization that promotes excellence and efficiency in government service. Stier was very reluctant to come forward with what he had witnessed for fear that it would inspire false, partisan attacks. Ultimately,

Thank you for the kind words, Delilah. Successfully cross-examining a hostile witness takes practice, discipline and patience. I thought Representatives Hank Johnson and Karen Bass did a nice job. Johnson developed the fact that Trump dictated to Lewandowski a very important ...
2. message to be delivered to AG Sessions, the substance of which plainly constituted obstruction of justice. Tellingly, Lewandowski did not deliver the message. Think about that - a US president gives you a message to tell the AG to shut down an investigation into
3. Russian inerference in the US presidential election, that’s a VERY big deal and a VERY important message. But Lewandowski DID NOT DELIVER IT! Rep Johnson asked him why he did not deliver it. Lewandowski was caught off guard. We all KNOW he didn’t deliver it because

WATCH NOW: @JudyWoodruff's interview with Iranian FM @JZarif, shot earlier today in New York.
.@JudyWoodruff asks about the US shooting down of an Iranian drone yesterday.

@JZarif: We didn't lose any drones yesterday. So it doesn't look like they shot down one of our drones. Maybe they shot one of their drones.
.@JudyWoodruff: The Trump administration's official line is that the US is not looking for war with Iran. Do you believe that?

@JZarif: No. We didn't come to the Gulf of Mexico. They came to the Persian Gulf. Now they have to watch that they should not undermine our sovereignty.

Another bad day for #Facebook: Psych researcher Aleksandr Kogan who helped #CambridgeAnalytica mine private data from 87 million Facebook users sues FB for defamation. Almost a year to the day since we first learned of the massive privacy breach scandal, which FB blamed on Kogan.

I'VE EXPRESSED SKEPTICISM ON #MUELLER FROM DAY ONE.

Trump obstructed justice in plain sight and bragged about it to Russian operatives in the Oval Office.

THAT'S UNQUESTIONABLY AN INDICTABLE/IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE.

If he remains in office, it is an abject failure of our system.
The underlying act is working with a hostile foreign power to undermine our free and fair elections, MUCH, MUCH worse than Watergate.

And yet, GOP leaders have circled the wagons and Dems have avoided impeachment and/or calls for lawful, non-violent mass action.

#MuellerReport
If I'm wrong, I'll happily eat crow and celebrate the health of our democracy, but I've been saying Trump is likely to escape #Mueller's clutches since 2017 and nothing has changed my view. And Trump's victory lap will be unlike anything we've seen.

One of the most important offices in any state is that of Secretary of State, especially in swing states like Ohio where SOS’s have turned off voting machine audit functions, fought to keep machines paperless, & purged voter rolls. Pls support @KathleenClyde for Ohio SOS! 1/
2/ Ohio’s current SOS, Republican John Husted , went out of his way to make sure voting machine audit functions were turned OFF in 2016!
3/ In 2004, Republican SOS Ken Blackwell tried to have Ohio buy paperless voting machines!

The White House official involved in the coordination is Obama’s Chief of Staff Denis McDonough. It appears he coordinated with Democratic Senate Leader Harry Reid and CIA Director John Brennan.

The FBI knew about it judging from the newly-revealed Page-Strzok texts.
2. If true, it puts the LIE to Obama’s statements that "he was hands-off."
Fox News published the texts of Peter Strzok and his paramour Lisa Page, showing what coordination among the FBI, CIA Director John Brennan, and Barack Obama’s Chief of Staff Denis McDonough:
3. Page texted Strzok on Aug 2, 2016, saying:
“Make sure you can lawfully protect what you sign. Just thinking about congress, foia, etc. You probably know better than me.”
