Most of you are lawyers so you know this, but here's a quickie on #DueProcess to forward to nonlawyers feeling #gaslit

1. Due process (5th Am.) is literally the process due in a specific govt proceeding (impeachment)

2. #DueProcess does NOT always mean criminal trial rights
3. Even in criminal cases, rights like confronting witnesses (6th Am) don't apply during investigation

4. This is the investigative phase of #impeachment, not trial (later in Senate)

5. #DueProcess is less protective of politicians facing removal than people facing prison
6. Trump defines #DueProcess as an unrebuttable presumption of his innocence, in other words immunity from any legal consequence of wrongdoing

7. Trump's equation: Due process = total immunity from #impeachment makes due process synonymous with dictatorship

Here at Gitmo's Camp Justice, the judge, Air Force Col. W. Shane Cohen, has opened today's 9/11 pretrial hearing. He notes that two of the five defendants are in court -- Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and his nephew Ammar al Baluchi.
As the judge takes attendance, chief prosecutor Brig. Gen. Mark Martins makes an announcement on this 18th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks: Relatives of 911 victims at Gitmo will be coming and going from the gallery behind the court, quietly, for private commemoration ceremonies.
The judge replies that whatever happens outside the court today has no 'bearing on any matter that will take place today.' He calls it 'inappropriate for me to take it in any further consideration.'

Here we go again. #startoftheline #summeroftrains2019 #es9150
You can find my journeys by train in Europe earlier this year here. #springoftrains

You've got to hand it to Eurostar: it takes a lot of self confidence and optimism to claim you have WiFi time and time again despite all evidence to the contrary. We could all learn a thing or two

(My first tweet was initially sent in London. It didn't make it up until Calais!)

Here, have another one: a prequel of sorts to the thread quoted here. May not have time to finish it until later, but gonna start it now.

The sight of the creature startles her.

It is a strange feeling, to be startled. This place is predictable by design.
But there, under the willow tree, a creature huddles.

It must be part of His plan, Margarita thinks, as are all things. She pays it no mind.

But time and time again, she passes the great willow and sees the creature huddling there.

More strange: nobody seems to see it but her.
She passes the creature time and time again until she cannot simply pass it anymore.

She is an agent of Good, after all, and the creature is quivering, like it is cold, perhaps, or afraid.

So she goes to it.

Today I was reminded why I'm running for office.

I got off the phone today with a judge who denied my client, headed for Virginia, the chance to apply for asylum.

His case was a slam dunk, especially after a nationwide injunction issued earlier today.
Without quoting a single case, despite our 7pg brief explaining the law, the judge denied the case. My client's tears and trembling voice did not move him, because "lots of people come here from El Salvador with stories like yours, but that doesn't qualify you for asylum."
Yes, it does.

When gang members come and kill off two of your brothers, one after another, then beat and rape two of your sisters, both of whom make it to the US and were allowed to apply for asylum, then you have a claim, too.

(1) Forget the headlines from the lying, leaking, liberal MSM. Read the official statement here:

whitehouse.gov/briefings-stat…
(2) The MSM critiques of the President's statement focus on peripheral aspects like his use of exclamation marks. Reflect on that, against the incredibly serious points made about Iran, international terrorism, global oil prices etc.

Which side is talking about what MATTERS?
(3) Every point POTUS made was already known to me, & to you, if you've been following actual events & trends, instead of the MSM spin.

YES the murder of Mr Khashoggi was AWFUL & it is NOT condoned by Trump, the US, or me, or you.

A President must consider the whole picture.
