"China, if you're listening... please find some dirt on the Bidens.
I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.
Or my brand new free trade policy."
If you're looking for a bright side, in addition to a fresh high crime and misdemeanor...
Up until now, Trump has colluded/coordinated with white nationalist govts only.
So he is willing to cross racial lines, as long as he's sufficiently desperate.
I was criticized for paraphrasing and including a "trade policy" joke.
Then guess what actually happened:
Trump signaled he was thinking about upcoming trade talks.
You can't make this up.
Recall "Reciprocity."
"I would like you to do us a favor though."

Senator @brianschatz says out loud what many of us have been thinking.

Why didn’t Mueller subpoena taxes, documents, and pursue these obvious leads? Is it all just spun off to SDNY and under Barr?

The House should hear from Rosenstein.
To be clear, @RodRosenstein, as a growing list of felonies start becoming clear, some of them happened on your watch as Acting AG.
You seem to have kept Mueller’s investigation too narrow.

You have a lot questions to answer.
@RodRosenstein See this @just_security timeline and note how much of this Ukraine activity happened while Rosenstein was Acting AG from May 2017 to Nov. 2018, and he continued as DAG through April 2019.

The DOJ has asked SCOTUS to give the president unprecedented powers to fire independent agency heads.

But Ethan Leib & I note the Constitution's presidential duty of faithful execution, which empowers Congress to guard against presidential bad faith.
nytimes.com/2019/10/08/opi…
2/ This argument builds on our history of the faithful execution clauses by @andrewkent33, Leib, & me.

The history shows this phrase signaled duties of care, loyalty, good faith, as well as deference to the legislature - similar to fudiciary duties.
harvardlawreview.org/2019/06/faithf…
@andrewkent33 3/ We also cite @jdmortenson's outstanding recent article, "Article II Vests Executive Power, Not the Royal Prerogative." This thorough history indicates "executive power" requires more deference to Congress's choices, and not implicit royalist powers.

I guess a sitting president isn't above the law:
Federal judge orders Trump to turn over 8 years of tax returns to the Manhattan D.A.

I have a post soon to explain why a sitting president must be able to be indicted b/c of con law & the 6th Amendment.
nyti.ms/339BBwY
2/ The Trump lawyers had cited one of my blog posts to say presidents are above the law.
I had explained since then why the problem of statutes of limitations and the lack of equitable tolling. (See next post in thread)
3/ My @slate
article from Dec 2018:
"The Single Fatal Flaw in the Legal Argument Against Indicting a Sitting President:
"Should a president be above the law because of the statute of limitations?"

Republicans now saying there is no way China is taking Trump's invitation to investigate Joe Biden seriously.

"You really think he was serious?" Rep. Jim Jordan told @GStephanopoulos this morning. abcnews.go.com/Politics/rep-j…
“I doubt the China comment was serious," @RoyBlunt told @FaceTheNation. thehill.com/homenews/sunda…
We already know China took it seriously enough to issue a statement:

I've read parts of the Mueller report, but I've not read the entire document from start to finish. I'm going to do that now and will comment as I go along. I expect this will take me days to accomplish since I'll have to fit it in with my home & work responsibilities.

<THREAD>
1) If you'd like to follow along. This is the document I will be reading. It's a searchable PDF. scribd.com/document/40672…
2) The Introduction to Volume 1 establishes:

a) Russia interfered with our 2016 elections
b) Russia acted in favor of Donald Trump
c) Russia acted to disparage Hillary Clinton
d) Numerous links between Russian entities and the Trump Campaign were discovered.

@280Report
III. RUSSIAN HACKING AND DUMPING OPERATIONS
Beginning in March 2016, units of the Russian Federation's Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff (GRU) hacked the computers and email accounts of organizations, employees, and volunteers supporting the Clinton Campaign,
including the email account of campaign chairman John Podesta.

Starting in April 2016, the GRU hacked into the computer networks of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
The GRU targeted hundreds of email accounts used by Clinton Campaign employees, advisors, and volunteers. In total, the GRU stole hundreds of thousands of documents from the compromised email accounts and networks. (FN 109)
