👉NEWS THREAD:

Democrats will bring 2 articles of impeachment against Trump:

1. Abuse of Power
2. Obstruction of Congress
While there's been much debate over a 3rd article; obstruction of justice, the "consensus" tonight appears to be that including that count, which relies largely on the Mueller Report, would complicate the case.

That said, there's another meeting tomorrow among Judiciary Dems.
This is according to five sources familiar with the deliberations.

w @GeoffRBennett and @LACaldwellDC
@GeoffRBennett @LACaldwellDC There will be a formal announcement tomorrow on the articles, per NBC's @AlexNBCNews

McConnell/Schumer haven’t spoken ab Senate trial & doesn’t appear to b off to a good start.

--M angry S made his requests thru the news media.

--M is correct the Clinton trial was worked out in 2 different phases. The first handled basic logistics and second witnesses.

BUT 1/
Schumer argues in ’99 the key witnesses had already given Grand Jury testimony whereas today they (Mulvaney, Bolton) are refusing to testify.

If Dems don't make demands upfront they literally have no power to get witnesses since this can be decided on a (51) party line vote.
One final IMPORTANT POINT:

All it will take is 2 Republicans to work with Democrats to control a lot of things on the floor. Murkowski, Collins, Romney? There are 3 big possibilities right there.

More than 700 historians, legal and other scholars pen letter urging House to impeach Trump

medium.com/@historiansoni…
"Trump’s numerous and flagrant abuses of power are precisely what the Framers had in mind as grounds for impeaching and removing a president."
"his dereliction in protecting ... the 2020 election from Russian disinformation and renewed interference, arouse once again the Framers’ most profound fears that powerful members of govt would become, in Hamilton’s words, “the mercenary instruments of foreign corruption.”

New Jersey Boomerang:

Van Drew HAD just endorsed
@CoryBooker & HAD told constituents he'd remain a Democrat.

(Deleted an earlier tweet to clarify.)
@CoryBooker To be clear: On Dec. 10, Van Drew got an internal poll (conducted after his opposition to impeachment was publicized) showing he probably couldn't win a Democratic primary.

Over the weekend, he met with Trump and decided to switch parties.
@CoryBooker Prior to all of that, he had endorsed Booker.

Here we go
House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler just announced the two articles of impeachment against Trump:
- Abuse of power
- Obstruction of Congress
"Our president holds the ultimate public trust," Nadler said.

"When he betrays that trust and puts himself before the country, he endangers the constitution, he endangers our democracy and he endangers our national security."

Thread - Rep. Nunes Destroys Democrats in His Closing Statement

1. Uhhhh, what on Earth did the Democrats think they were going to accomplish by staging the tightly-controlled impeachment hearings this week?
2. Did they really think that the witnesses they carefully screened before the public hearings were going to move the impeachment needle in their direction?
3. Did they seriously believe that opinion, hearsay, conjecture, and third-hand “evidence” from these witnesses would lay the groundwork for articles of impeachment?

(THREAD) BREAKING: A top Trump ally revealed Trump's impeachment defense today—and it's not what many expected. I break it down here using Ukraine-scandal reporting and my experience as a defense lawyer. I hope you'll read this and RETWEET—as America needs to know what's coming.
1/ First, a note about how to conceptualize crafting a defense in an unwinnable criminal investigation—as media tends to only value the analysis of former prosecutors and longtime prosecutors who have become the sort of high-priced defense attorneys who can choose their clients.
2/ I was a public defender for years—which means I didn't choose my cases. As every "high-volume criminal defense attorney" knows, the difference between our ability to spot a defense and the ability of former prosecutors or case-selective defense attorneys to do so is—well—vast.
