MORE FRIDAY NEWS: House Intel Chairman Adam Schiff just sent this letter to VP Pence asking the admin to declassify Jennifer Williams’ supplemental testimony to impeachment investigators.
A House Intel officials says “declassification of this supplemental testimony will allow the Congress to see further corroborative evidence as it considers articles of impeachment, and provide the public further understanding of the events in question.”
In his letter to Pence, Schiff says Williams’ supplemental testimony is about the VP’s Sept. 18 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Schiff says there’s “no legitimate basis” for this info to be classified.

INBOX: Judiciary Committee to Hold Hearing to Receive Counsel Presentations of Evidence in the Impeachment Inquiry of President Donald Trump

Monday, 9:00 a.m. EST
Judiciary will “receive presentations” from Dem & GOP lawyers for both Intel *and* Judiciary.

Yet another indication that Mueller/obstruction-related charges are under consideration for articles of impeachment.
Monday’s hearing will begin just hours before the Justice Department releases its long-awaited internal review of the origins of the 2016 Russia investigation.

PELOSI: “The facts are uncontested. The president abused his power for his own political benefit at the expense of our national security...”
Pelosi says Trump committed “a profound violation of the public trust” and a violation of the Constitution.
“The president leaves us no choice but to act because he is trying to, once again, corrupt the election for his own benefit,” Pelosi says.

#Impeachment
Petite passe d'armes entre Donald @Trump et les démocrates:
▶️ @POTUS demande aux démocrates d'accélérer un peu le processus, "qui n'a que trop duré", selon lui.
▶️ Il montre ainsi sa domination puisqu'il est sûr d'être innocenté devant le Sénat.
@Trump @POTUS #Impeachment
Réponse du berger à la bergère:
▶️ @SpeakerPelosi demande aussitôt à la commission Justice de procéder à la rédaction des Articles de Mise en Accusation.
▶️ Elle s'appuie sur la nécessité de défendre la Constitution, quoi qu'il en coûte.
@Trump @POTUS @SpeakerPelosi #Impeachment
87% des #démocrates sont en faveur d'un procès et à la destitution de Donald #Trump.
Le chiffre est stable depuis le début de la procédure.

#IMPEACHMENT IS **NOT** JUST ABOUT #MUELLER

Donald Trump has violated his oath to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

He has done so by repeatedly attacking the free press as "enemies of the people," a direct subversion of the First Amendment.
The sycophants cowards, and right-wing extremists of the GOP will never have the courage or principle to follow in #JustinAmash's footsteps. And sad to say, the Democratic Party leadership is still dithering, refusing to do their constitutional duty.
So has anything changed today or is #impeachment still on hold? And if so, WHY?

Vigorous #impeachment discussion yesterday between polls and elections expert @NateSilver538 (con) and former Harry Reid person @AJentleson (pro). The subject is worth a thread.
2. As with most issues before Congress, substance and politics are closely related but distinguishable. As to substance, the argument -- persuasive to me -- is that obstruction of justice, contacts with Russians seeking to influence a US election, corruption and the rest...
3...will do mortal damage to American democracy if tolerated. Not proceeding toward impeachment proceedings means tolerating all of these things, though it is possible to deceive oneself on that point. The political argument @NateSilver538 makes is about American voters.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
