THREADETTE: Without reading text of the House's supposed "impeachment" resolution I don't know if it's legit or a spin, BUT if legit, it tells me that Dem leaders think they have built up enough public outrage to allow their members to vote for something impeachment-related 1/
2/2 going into 2020 elections. Big mistake. Big. Yuge! Average Joe Americans are ignoring the D.C. noise and think it's silly Russia, Russia, Russia II nonsense. And Republican ads will highlight Dems failure to take on problems & focus on this silliness. END.
3/ I'm just going to keep adding campaign ads that prove my point.

As @Techno_Fog linked earlier, Gov't filed surreply in Flynn's case. He also hits some main factual issues. And @SidneyPowell1 sur-surreply will likely nail those and other factual issue as well as three other huge issues. 1/
@Techno_Fog @SidneyPowell1 2/ First, the gov't completely fails to explain how Flynn's statements were material. They knew what Flynn said from the tapes AND in fact were gloating when Flynn denied it right after the meeting. The gov't analysis in this regard is completely lacking.
@Techno_Fog @SidneyPowell1 3/ Second, the gov't's analysis of the conflict of interest speaks of Flynn's first attorney as having told gov't Flynn waived the conflict. BUT some conflicts cannot be waived and the one involving Flynn appears to be one of those.

#IMPEACHMENT MADE SIMPLE:

1. House Dems can #ImpeachTrumpNow with their majority. No more evidence is required.

2. Senate Republicans will almost certainly vote to acquit.

3. Trump will be impeached for history but not removed.

4. Dems can then focus on sweeping in 2020.
#IMPEACHMENT MADE SIMPLE (2)

The only remote possibility of Trump leaving office early is if #McConnell and other GOP leaders think he's too much of a liability to their rightwing power grab and push him to resign.

But like I said, "remote."
#IMPEACHMENT MADE SIMPLE (3)

Arguments for waiting to schedule a vote are:

1. Gather more facts.
2. Exert more pressure.
3. Get more evidence against his accomplices.

None of those outweigh the fact that he harms people every day and #impeachment is an urgent moral imperative.

MASSIVE SCREW-UP

Continued dithering by Dem leaders on impeaching Trump has had an extremely damaging effect on the power of #impeachment to protect the rule of law.

They thought it would strengthen their hand to appear reluctant, but waffling has had the opposite effect.
I hate to say this, but I increasingly believe that #impeachment will be far less effective now than it would have been out of the gate in January.

Mealy-mouthed Dem excuses for inaction have telegraphed to the public that impeachment is entirely a partisan political calculus.
Just to be clear: I believe more strongly than ever that Dems should #impeach NOW. And it isn't about Mueller. Incitement of violence against the press is enough. What this thread is saying is that #impeachment will have less teeth than it would have a few months ago.

DEM LEADERS

Here's how you do #impeachment:

Compile every statement by GOP lawmakers during Clinton's impeachment.

Call only Republicans to testify and confront them with their statements.

Make this a referendum on GOP values.

BE THE PARTY THAT DEFENDS THE RULE OF LAW
I'll start. This is @senatemajldr in 1999:

"Time after time, the President came to a fork in the road. Time after time, he had the opportunity to choose the noble and honorable path. Time after time, he chose the path of lies and lawlessness..."
Here's @LindseyGrahamSC:

“[Clinton] doesn’t have to say, ‘Go lie for me,’ to be a crime,” Graham said at the time. “You don’t have to say, ‘Let’s obstruct justice’ for it to be a crime. You judge people on their conduct, not magic phrases.”
