@sidboswell @matthewjdowd @SteveDaines Moreover, the impeachment is about PROTECTING our upcoming election. The evidence thus far supports a finding that the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES was withholding congressionally approved funding for an ally until he got a public announcement that the ally was investigating /1
@sidboswell @matthewjdowd @SteveDaines his potential political rival. Trump was seeking something for his own political benefit, not that of the 🇺🇸. The evidence thus far suggests the only reason he did this was because he wanted there 1⃣ to be a story clouding Biden's credibility, & 2⃣ to show “everybody does it” /2
@sidboswell @matthewjdowd @SteveDaines [spoiler—they don’t] to justify his own actions. Why? All of it’s so he has a better chance to defeat Biden in the upcoming election, if Biden gets the dem nom. This IS election interference into the 2020 election! /3
@sidboswell @matthewjdowd @SteveDaines Trump & the GOP say Trump did nothing wrong. If that’s true, then they should put all their cards on the table & show it! Trump’s not going to do that. Rather, he knows the cloud on Hillary & her emails worked in 2016, & he got away with it. So why not do it again?

@sidboswell @matthewjdowd @SteveDaines Even if ultimately Trump is not im🍑 & removed, having public hearings on Trump's actions will allow voters to make an informed choice as to whether they should vote for him again. To NOT do so is completely antithetic to everything that America stands for. /rant

OWN YOUR #IMPEACHMENT WORDS, GOP!

"The President can incinerate the planet. Seriously, the very idea that we ought to have at or less than the same moral demands placed on the Chief Executive that we place on our next door neighbor is ludicrous and dangerous." - #MikePence
OWN IT, @GOP!

“[The President] doesn’t have to say, ‘Go lie for me,’ to be a crime. 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.” - #LindseyGraham
@GOP OWN IT, @GOP!

"The true tragedy in this case is the collapse of the President's moral authority ... there is the issue of the abuse of power and authority. This White House has perfected the art of stonewalling around the truth." - #ChuckGrassley

THE CLINTON IMPEACHMENT STANDARD

The GOP set its own #impeachment standard in 1998. Let's make things simple and apply it to Trump.

#MitchMcConnell:

"Time after time, the President came to a fork in the road. Time after time, he chose the path of lies and lawlessness."
#LindseyGraham:

“[The President] doesn’t have to say, ‘Go lie for me,’ to be a crime. 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.”
#MikePence:

"The President can incinerate the planet. Seriously, the very idea that we ought to have at or less than the same moral demands placed on the Chief Executive that we place on our next door neighbor is ludicrous and dangerous."

WHO SAID THIS?

"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."

OK, HERE'S HOW YOU DO #IMPEACHMENT:

Call only Republicans to testify.

Use only Republican quotes from the Clinton impeachment.

Start with #MitchMcConnell:

"Time after time, the President came to a fork in the road. Time after time, he chose the path of lies and lawlessness."
GOP #IMPEACHMENT QUOTES

Here's @LindseyGrahamSC:

“[Clinton] doesn’t have to say, ‘Go lie for me,’ to be a crime. 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.”
GOP #IMPEACHMENT QUOTES

Here's @ChuckGrassley: "The true tragedy in this case is the collapse of the President's moral authority ... there is the issue of the abuse of power and authority. This White House has perfected the art of stonewalling around the truth."

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.”
