“Trump is telling us he’s above the law –
“It’s worth stepping back and stating in plain language just how profoundly President Trump is corrupting our political system right now.” – @ThePlumLineGS
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
“Trump is not merely staking out an absolute refusal to cooperate with any and all lawful subpoenas, on the deeply absurd grounds that the House’s impeachment inquiry is illegitimate…
...Rather, Trump is adopting that stance while simultaneously claiming the absolute right to bend large swaths of the government toward his goal of rigging the next election on his own behalf. Thus, Trump is declaring absolute authority to use extraordinarily corrupt means…
... to avoid facing a fair election next year, while also declaring total immunity to any and all congressional efforts to prevent him from rigging that election, or even to hold him accountable for it.”– @ThePlumLineGS

GOP, Russian goombahs & rubles
Trump's “PAC spent more than $3M to help elect former Rep Pete Sessions #TX after he wrote a letter calling for the ambassador’s firing. Sessions lost his 2018 election, but is running for a new seat in Congress this cycle.”

As best I can find right now, these guys are threatened with "Maximum Penalties: Up to five years in prison & $250,000 fine." Since Trump's America First Action heavily supports GOP candidates, you can bet your sweet ass SDNY will be dangling deals to work up the GOP perp tree.
Buzzfeed has a good rundown on Rudy's GOP goombahs. You can just see these guys sitting in Tony Soprano's Bada Bing drooling over naked girls & slugging down some Moscow Mules.

Judge “Howell also asked Letter whether a president could be impeached for lying to the public.” ‘I believe so, yes, absolutely,’ he replied. And she asked whether Trump needed to have committed a crime to be impeached. ‘No, he does not.’”

3 reasons why Trump is pushing #PrematureImpeachmentEjaculation – P.I.E.

1) “Trump is making a bet...that Democrats won’t be willing to engage in as tough a brand of politics as he is."– @David_Leonhardt, NYTimes
2) “Trump is making a bet...that he can bend the Republican Party to his will & get Republicans & administration officials to parrot his fictions.”– @David_Leonhardt, NYTimes
3) “Trump is making a bet...that the media won’t be able to resist framing this story as ‘Both sides have a legitimate argument’”– @David_Leonhardt, NYTimes

Thread: #Trump legal team arguments for creating the constitutional crisis of complete #obstruction turns on 3 arguments that are all merit less:
#TrumpOnstruction arg 1.: The House must vote to have #impeachmentknquiry. Nope. Constitution doesn’t require it & neither do House rules. Judiciary must vote articles out & then send to full House. They’re working on it.
#TrumpObstruction arg 2: His #dueprocess rights are being violated. Nope. You don’t have a right to all the evidence before your charges & preparing for trial. And #Whistleblower protection is necessary given enormous power of #POTUS. But Trump knows the allegations. We all do.

[#Thread] To all those interested in [Arabic] Twitter, I have done an analysis of verified Twitter accounts in the Middle East (however broadly we interpret that term). I was mostly interested in majority Arabic speaking countries. #digitalhumanities
2/ Firstly special thanks to my RA @imaaaan_1 who collated the data. Methodologically, I was inspired by @luca who did a great post on verified users here > medium.com/startup-grind/… My aim was to focus in on specific Arabic-speaking countries, not all users :)
@imaaaan_1 @luca 3/ A note: I think verified users are important. Verification is increasingly used as a sign of credibility and legitimacy. Many people even pay for verified accounts. Whether we like it or not, Twitter as a social media company now has the ability to bestow upon users social

#Thread | PM #ImranKhan did the right thing by owning #PTM. This one move destroys the designs of regional actors hoping to exploit legitimate grievances of a segment of #Pakistanis. Here's why it's good. /1

#AhmedQuraishi @AQpk
Misguided or not, #PTM consists of young & educated #Pakistanis. The grievances are real, result of decades of political failures of #Peshawar & #Islamabad, and parties like #ANP #PPP #PMLN. /2
@AQpk
#Pakistani politicians failed to build on successful anti-terror military operations in #FATA. #PakMilitry had to enlist help of #UAE #EU #Japan #KSA to build schools & roads. Precious time was wasted in political squabbles. /3

The Centre for Multiparty Democracy Kenya
@CMDKenya
#Thread: Our chair Omingo Magara articulated The Centre for Multiparty Democracy's memorandum to the Building Bridges to Unity Advisory Taskforce consultative meeting with stakeholders held today at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre. #BuildingBridges
The Building Bridges to a New Kenyan Nation is premised on the fact that Kenya has made progress towards consolidating its democratic landscape, but much remains to be done in addressing underlying challenges that threaten political, social and economic standing of the country.
Our democratization process and stability have been characterized by challenges that are well outlined in the Joint Communique of March 9th 2018 by H.E. the President Uhuru Kenyatta and the former Prime Minister Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga.
