The @SenateGOP is doing a whole lot of whining about the House impeachment inquiry

And a whole lot of nothing to investigate Democrat malfeasance

What's wrong, guys, forgot how to issue a subpoena?
@SenateGOP Here's an idea for @senatemajldr

Subpoena Hillary Clinton and have her testify about the State Department report that shows hundreds of violations by dozens of individuals

The Democrats have opened Pandora's box, they need to be made to feel the pain

@SenateGOP @senatemajldr Here's another idea

Nancy Pelosi was meddling in Brexit, when she made demands of the British government in order to pass a UK trade deal

Was she communicating with Remainers?

There's a potential Logan Act violation that should be investigated

My gender identity is “anti-racist”

If you do not describe me as anti-racist when referring to me in the third person you’re a bigot
It’s a weird world where people have more respect for your gender self-identification than your political self-identification
“You’re a racist!”

“Actually, I identify as anti-racist, you bigot!”

Something interesting from @SidneyPowell1's Flynn filing last night

@GenFlynn is dealing with two guilty pleas he made while advised by Covington & Burling

Powell argues that Covington was conflicted as of August 2017 and OBLIGATED to withdraw

That's before Flynn pled guilty
@SidneyPowell1 @GenFlynn To explain:

The same Covington lawyers who were defending Flynn on the false statement charges

prepared the FARA registration for General Flynn's company

In August 2017, federal prosecutors threatened to charge Flynn based on false statements in that very FARA registration
@SidneyPowell1 @GenFlynn Sidney Powell argues that as soon as that happened, Covington was OBLIGATED to withdraw from the Flynn representation because of a "non-consentable" conflict of interest

Why? Because they were in an "adversarial position."

If you're trying to understand the latest Ukraine "scandal," YES, MINISTER explained it 30 years ago

#BillTaylorTestimony
Here's Bill Taylor talking about the virtues of the "regular" channel of policy-making that has had "strong, bipartisan support both in Congress and in ALL administrations"

It's almost like he thinks he's entitled to determine American policy in Ukraine

#BillTaylorTestimony
Here's Bill Taylor discussing how he only agreed to "serve" in the administration so long as it continued to share his policy preferences in Ukraine

THREAD: How Mississippi's members of congress, candidates, and other leaders are responding to the Trump #Impeachment inquiry.

Congressman @BennieGThompson says we "must protect our constitution and the United States of America's national security." 1/
jacksonfreepress.com/news/2019/sep/…
"(Trump) has abused his power, obstructed justice, & violated his oath of office. (He) should not put his political interests over our nat'l security. No one is above the law. Therefore, he must be impeached and subsequently removed from office." —Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) 2/
Mississippi Republicans have circled the wagons around Trump, ignoring concerns over his interactions with Ukraine's president. GOP Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith simply called it "divisive" and "grasping at straws." 3/

 Starting a formal #impeachment inquiry is necessary because we have to stop the damage Trump has been doing to our government, to our Constitution, to our democracy.

 To add to @Eugene_Robinson‘s points, both President Truman and legendary Speaker Sam Rayburn used to say, “A jackass can kick a barn down, but it takes a carpenter to build one.”

The work of rebuilding must start with cleansing the Oval Office.

An allegation of trying to use the power of the presidency against another country, in the context of withholding funds that Congress approved, to create dirt on a political opponent – this is incredibly serious and must be investigated.

As @RitaKonaev notes, "Mattis had no problem disagreeing w/Obama about transgender people in the military or women in combat but won’t criticize Trump for asking foreign powers for dirt about political opponents.

This isn’t about him being above politics. This is his politics."
Excellent point here, and makes you wonder why Mattis' deference to the commander-in-chief is selectively applied in this manner 🤔
7 freshman House Ds, all with natsec experience: "If true, we believe these actions represent an impeachable offense ...

We call on our colleagues in Congress to consider the use of all congressional authorities available, including inherent contempt."

A short thread on #impeachment.

I have pre-existing conditions—I fear my life & that of my friends being taken away.
I have close friends with DACA—I fear their right to be here being taken away.
I'm a Latino parent—I fear my child will be discriminated against worse than I was
I'm the survivor of an in-person death threat against me & my family, from a MAGA extremist who hated me just for who I am—I fear him or another carrying out those threats.

I'm an attorney—I fear the erosion of the rule of law.
I'm a patriot—I fear Russian interference in the 2020 election.

I'm a voting rights advocate—I fear a system is currently being created that will lead to permanent minority rule, & that that minority will use political power to permanently restricts the rights of the majority.

It's time I had my say about #Impeachment, DJT's obstructionistic tactics, and @SpeakerPelosi's not pushing for an inquiry yet.

When AG Barr released the redacted version of the report to Congress, he did *not* include any of the underlying documents on which Mueller relied.

1/
Just like a lawsuit, a case has to be built based on facts and evidence. Both the Intelligence Committee and the Judiciary Committee have been working their way through the system, including voting to hold AG Barr in Contempt of Congress. DJT has been fighting them in court.

2/
Meanwhile, the Ways and Means Committee has also been working on getting DJT's tax returns. One of the Committees has also been working on getting records subpoenaed from DJT's financial management firm and from Deutche Bank, known for Russian money laundering.

A note on #impeachment -

In a court of law, under non-presidential circumstances, impeachment is a tool litigation attorneys use to discredit the opposing side's witnesses at trial. When said witness takes the stand under oath attys. present evidence contrary to what the witness
claims. This weakens the other side's case by discrediting impeached witnesses's testimony. Once a witness has been impeached - by presentment of inconsistent testimony - the judge/jury can no longer use the impeached witnesses's testimony in reaching a verdict.
Simply put, they aren't trustworthy. In the case of Presidential impeachment that broad definition of impeachment applies, but the impeachment tool is used for a very different purpose. Under the Constitution, a sitting President cannot be tried in a court of law for anything.
