“President Trump told two senior Russian officials in a 2017 Oval Office meeting that he was unconcerned about Moscow’s interference in the U.S. election...” washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
It appears the Mueller team collected the notes of the Oval Office meeting with Lavrov and Kislyak that @shaneharris and his team reported new details about tonight; see the first reference in fn 468. Hopefully that means it’s not just locked on a WH server.
Or maybe, given the discrepancy in the date (5/9 vs 5/10), they only got some preparatory memo?
In any event, this new reporting suggests that the Mueller team did not give the public a full account of what happened in that Oval Office encounter.

CBS published a Monmouth poll on Aug 22 that found 41% of Americans supported an impeachment inquiry (72% Ds, 39% Inds, 8% Rs). monmouth.edu/polling-instit…

CBS’s new YouGov poll finds that 55% support for an impeachment inquiry (87% Ds, 49% Inds, 23% Rs). cbsnews.com/news/trump-imp…
With the caveat that I’m comparing different pollsters here, the indication that all the different partisan groups have moved more or less in lockstep toward supporting the impeachment process (Ds +15%, Inds +10%, Rs +15%) seems more significant than the play it’s getting.

The manufactured palace intrigue is being fabricated by all the damn anonymous troublemakers intriguing in this palace.

So angry that he sanctioned efforts to keep the whistleblower complaint under wraps? (and flew off to Italy as it became clear that the facts would come to light)
April 25, 2019: "Trump told Fox News' "Hannity" in a wide-ranging interview Thursday night that Attorney General Bill Barr is handling the "incredible" and "big" new revelations that Ukrainian actors apparently leaked damaging information about [Manafort]" foxnews.com/politics/trump…
Here's the Hannity interview. The pertinent discussion is in the first 2:20; Trump clearly and repeatedly says AG Barr will be taking the lead on dealing with Ukraine.

(Thread) Impeachment Q and A

First, a few words about impeachment, then a bit about what to expect in the next few months.

Then Q and A.

I suspect things will move quickly: The House will vote on Articles of Impeachment by the end of the year, maybe by Thanksgiving . . .
1/ A Senate Trial will likely occur in early 2020.

A Senate trial isn't a criminal trial. It is analogous but not the same.

An impeachable offense doesn’t have to be a crime— meaning that it doesn’t have to violate a specific crime in the Federal Code, thus . . .
2/ . . . and there is need to prove each element beyond a reasonable doubt.

From ⤵️, impeachment is “designed to check tyrants or oust corrupt leaders . . .”

Benjamin Franklin said that without impeachment, the only way to remove a self-dealing tyrant would be assassination.

Trump told Lavrov & Kislyak in the infamous May 2017 Oval Office meeting that he was unconcerned about Moscow’s interference in the U.S. election because the United States did the same in other countries, an assertion that prompted alarmed White House officials.
💣CoverUp2💣

The same meeting in which Trump revealed highly classified information that exposed a source of intelligence on the Islamic State.

He also said during the meeting that firing FBI Director James B. Comey the day before had relieved “great pressure” on him.

A memorandum summarizing the meeting was limited to all but a few officials with the highest security clearances in an attempt to keep the president’s comments from being disclosed publicly.

It is not clear if the memo was placed into the secret system.

an assertion that prompted alarmed White House officials to limit access to the remarks to an unusually small number of people, according to three former officials with knowledge of the matter.
The comments, which have not been previously reported, were part of a now-infamous meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov and Russian ambassador Kislyak, in which Trump revealed highly classified information that exposed a source of intelligence on the Islamic State.

The most sacred and solemn duty of the President of the United States is to keep us safe.

This is not just about Donald Trump.

Where are you, GOP? washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
