Schiff: "The Founding Fathers understood that a leader might take hold of the Oval Office...who would place his personal & political interests above the interests of the country. They understood that might happen and they provided a mechanism to deal with it...called impeachment"

House Democrats are slamming President Donald Trump in a press conference after today's impeachment rules vote.

Watch the livestream here 👇
House Democrats today voted on ground rules for the impeachment inquiry as congressional investigators prepare to go public with the case against President Donald Trump.

Democratic leaders lost just two of their members on the vote politico.com/news/2019/10/3…
The defections on the impeachment rules vote came from Rep. Jeff Van Drew (D-N.J.), a freshman and vocal impeachment critic, and Rep. Colin Peterson (D-Minn.), whose district went for Trump by 30 points in 2016.

Every Republican voted against it politico.com/news/2019/10/3…

As I detailed, with evidence, a DPA is not “dropping” charges. It’s an alternative to prosecution of a corporation. A corporation made up of many innocent workers who do not deserve to be tarnished with a guilty conviction. DPA’s are used around the globe, and in the US.
A DPA focusses on amending the conditions that facilitated the commission of crimes by bad actors within the corporation.

The crimes and those who commit them are prosecuted separately. And in this case, they have been. With one exception I’ll address later.
Being that a corporation is a collection of people, not a “person” itself, it doesn’t make much sense to punish the people who did not commit crimes by removing their pension and possibly their employment.

D's in Congress have eagerly anticipated Obama appointee, Georgetown U alum's second IG report complaining that President Trump’s appointees believe there exists a #DeepState among the unelected career staffers that is determined to thwart the president’s agenda. #CoupCabal
2. State Department IG holdover's "urgent" briefing on the Hill is currently said to be devised to set new alarm narrative of "retaliation" against #DeepState Department D's. Cong Staffers are starting to exit the "classified briefing" w #Linick IG. #Anon
3. @AdamSchiff @RepCummings are trying to bully & intimidate @StateDept workers contacting them directly & telling them to not have lawyers (right out of McCabe handbook). @SecPompeo also confirms phone call. The D's are unhinged. #DeepState #PresidentialHarassment. #Linick #Q

Founding Fathers understood human nature well – why they decreed to name the country The United States of America, hoping it would serve as a reminder to choose unity over division…by simply calling it ‘the US’ or obsessing re red vs blue states the nation has become dis‘united’
2. The country is also undergoing a period of self-examination that began after 9/11 attacks - an examination all but snuffed out by Bush’s subsequent wars, invasions. People who questioned status quo and official facts gravitated toward change-makers, like Obama, Sanders, Trump.
3. Once Citizen’s United ruling was handed down, it was inevitable that billions would pour into the system to deepen/harden the divisions – each major party and its allies funded nuclear attacks via media, think tanks…in a scorched-earth tussle for a bigger share of the states.

The news on our side of the world is fundamentally grim these days, but at least I can shed some light on people's lives that are fundamentally grimmer.
Sigh. Where oh where to begin? I guess here, because it's the first photo I found from my time there.

This is Hebron in the West Bank.
Hebron is the home of one of Islam's holy sites, the Ibrahimi Mosque.
It also happens to be a Jewish holy site named after Abraham as well.

Because of course Judaism and Islam (and Christianity) are fundamentally linked with Abraham. aljazeera.com/news/2016/02/r…
