The latest revelations about William Barr and Rudy Giuliani actually *strengthen* the case against Trump.

Both henchmen have simply continued to carry out the scheme Trump is being impeached over.

This underscores Trump's corrupt intent.

New piece:

One of the strongest arguments the constitutional scholars made against Trump is that he poses a *present and continuing* threat to our elections.

By continuing to carry out Trump's corrupt scheme, Bill Barr and Rudy Giuliani have strengthened that case.

In other words, by continuing to execute Trump's corrupt scheme, Bill Barr and Rudy Giuliani are demonstrating that this from @NoahRFeldman is correct, that Trump will indeed take "any means necessary" to rig the next election:

Trump's tacit threat to fire his FBI director should be seen as a very clear declaration that his efforts to manipulate the levers of government for corrupt purposes will continue unhecked.

That in itself argues for a broader impeachment.

New piece:

Here's my worry: If there's no article for obstruction, that clears the field for Trump and Barr to keep on using the levers of government to try to make Russia's sabotage of the 2016 election, and Trump's efforts to benefit from it, disappear:

Please stop saying the IG report gave "both sides" a "way to claim vindication."

That's just false.

Trump's core claim *for years* has been that the Russia investigation was *illegitimate* and a *coup* against him.

That has been completely debunked.

And there it is, right from the IG report:
Also from the IG report: The Strzok-Page conspiracy theory is now in ruins.

Let's not forget that the president of the United States has pushed this set of lies for literally *years* now:
This is very important, from the IG report:

No evidence of wrongdoing or political motivation in the "spying" on Trump's campaign.

Remember, William Barr flatly called it "spying," deliberately implying nefarious intent:

It's time to stop calling Trump a "Russian dupe." The truth is much worse.

Trump is an *active and willing* ally of Putinism, and he is *knowingly and deliberately* aligning himself with it, to serve his own corrupt and malevolent ends.

New piece:

The lie about Ukrainian interference is Russian propaganda. But Trump hasn't been *duped* into spreading it.

Rather, he recognizes an alliance of his own interests with Russia's in corrupting US democracy to serve his own malevolent and corrupt ends.

washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
The Ukraine lie is also an effort to cover up Trump's *own* corrupt conduct in 2016.

Trumpworld's coordination with Russian electoral sabotage in 2016, and Trump's efforts to extort more foreign help in 2020, are part of the same story:

US President Donald #Trump is being impeached for briefly withholding military aid to #Ukraine, but it should never have been provided in the first place. Here are just some of the reasons why it should be withheld. #withholdwar
#1 - #Ukrainian tanks rolled into Mariupol on the 9th of May (2014), leaving dead bodies and a burning police station in their wake. “Rocket-propelled grenades fired in city centre streets, shooting, where yesterday people were shopping.”
#2 - An airstrike killed “5 women… 3 men,” in the centre of Lugansk on the 2nd of June. #Ukraine denied the #airstrike and blamed a bomb from inside the admin building and a heat-seeking rocket that targeted the air conditioner.

1. You see...it's just the little things:

There was a building formerly used as a residence by the Deputy Consul General of the Islamic Republic of Iran. After diplomatic relations with Iran were severed in 1980, the US government leased the building to Jeffrey Epstein in 1992.
2. What's the purpose of the judge detailing the history of this building from 12 years earlier? Why didn't he just say "...a building that was vacant for 12 years..."?

Is the fact this building used to be used by the government as a residence for Iran's Consul General relevant?
3. Because this: "When the United States severed diplomatic ties with Iran in 1980, the Deputy General Consul vacated, but the Premises remained the property of Iran. The Government...was entrusted with the care and maintenance of the Premises under the Foreign Missions Act...".

#Trump campaign #BradPascale in #Romania makes me ponder a few questions:
🤔
-Using trip to influence US Romania emigrant voters?
-Purpose is to offer #socialmedia manipulation advice for #EU May vote?
-Perfect opportunity to meet with other election manipulators in the region?

Could Romanian media influence Romanian American voters?
As Romanian immigrants in America steadily increase, the population of Romanian voters might be heavily influenced by the strong ties to political and religious opinions held by leaders in Romania.

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

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
