House Democrats are holding a press conference to announce articles of impeachment against President Trump. Watch it live here:
c-span.org/video/?467261-…
"The House Committee on the Judiciary is introducing two articles of impeachment charging the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, with committing high crimes and misdemeanors."
"Evidence of the president's misconduct is overwhelming and uncontested. How could it not be when the president's own words on July 25—'I would like you to do us a favor, though'—lay so bare ... his willingness to sacrifice the national security for his own personal interests."
"The argument, 'why don't you just wait' amounts to this: Why don't you just let him cheat in one more election? Why not let him just cheat one more time?"
"Ben Franklin said we have a republic, if we can keep it. The president and his men say, you can't keep it, and Americans should just get over it. Americans don't get to decide American elections anymore."

Trump’s advisers tried to convince him that Ukraine wasn’t working against him in 2016.
Trump refused to believe them. Why? Because, he said, “Putin told me.” washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
It’s been clear for a long time that Trump’s conspiracy theories traced back to Russia. Here’s the evidence showing how he got it from The indicted suspected Russian intel operative Konstantin Kilimnik ... themoscowproject.org/dispatch/trump…
... and the timeline of how Putin (and his acolyte Viktor Orban) turned him against Zelensky before the July 25 call: themoscowproject.org/dispatch/trump…

Republicans have spent the day trotting out the same old lies and denying basic facts to protect Donald Trump.
Here are the actual facts:
-There was no Ukrainian interference against Trump in 2016
themoscowproject.org/dispatch/debun…
-Trump *did* bribe and extort Ukraine, withholding vital military assistance and a White House meeting until President Volodymyr Zelensky announced investigations of his political opponents
-Ukraine knew full well aid was being withheld as early as July 25

-The July 25 call was impeachable in itself—and as part of a months-long bribery and extortion scheme

.@RepJerryNadler: "After months of investigation, there can be no serious debate about the evidence at hand:" Trump demanded Ukraine investigate his political opponents, and withheld military aid and a White House meeting to force them to comply.
@RepJerryNadler .@RepJayapal: "[Trump] solicited foreign interference before. He is doing it now, and he will do it again. The president *is* the smoking gun."
@RepJerryNadler @RepJayapal .@RepRaskin: "If we the people lose the certainty of free and fair elections to presidential corruption and foreign manipulation, then we lose our democracy itself."

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?

Nine months ago, a few friends and I arrived in Iowa for my first trip of this campaign. We started in Ames and finished right here in Des Moines, where I met with a few dozen folks for coffee. That trip—like many I've taken since—was an act of hope.
Tonight, we’re back for #LJ19, our biggest Iowa event yet. I’ve got my family, those same friends, thousands of supporters by my side—and you. I am profoundly grateful to you, every @PeteForAmerica volunteer, and the more than 600,000 individual supporters who've gotten us here.
I’m about to take the #LJ19 stage for a night that will keep us on track toward winning the nomination. I hope I make you proud. My team will tweet for me while I'm on stage. Follow along and watch live here: c-span.org/video/?465865-…

New thread starting here - technical difficulties with the other.
Hice says we dont condemn teachers for overcrowded classes or illnesses in overcrowded classrooms. We shouldn't condemn CBP agents for the same.

This argument is a red herring.
Nagda says Flores settlement agreement provides baseline care and has existed for over 20 years. Anti-trafficking laws are over 10 years law. This is the only way US govt treats immigrant children differently.
Losing these 2 pieces of protection is extraordinary, Nagda says.
DHS own advisory committee, which Nagda sat on 2015-16, concluded children should never be held in detention solely for immigration enforcement.

Nadler to Cordero: why did you find Trump's willingness to accept oppo research from a foreign govt so concerning?
Cordero: In terms of his responsibilities as president, he is responsible for overseeing the nat sec of the US. Rec'ing foreign assistance has been recognized, throughout history of the entire country, to undermine the Constitution.
Nadler: Is it likely or plausible that his Trump's statements last week will influence what happens in the 2020 election?

ICYMI: Though it always releases audio files, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals rarely allows cameras into proceedings. The court made an exception for @CSPAN in light of massive public interest in the Trump/Twitter lawsuit.

Watch that appeal here:

In one key moment from the hearing, U.S. Circuit Judge Peter Hall grilled the government's attorney why @TheJusticeDept represented what is "essentially a private entity."

Short clip: c-span.org/video/?c478893…

Background: courthousenews.com/trump-ever-twe…
One more short clip:

DOJ's attorney Jennifer Utrecht confirms: "That is stipulated, that Donald Trump himself is the person who blocked the plaintiffs in this case."

She repeats it again later, after confirming @DanScavino sometimes writes his tweets. c-span.org/video/?c478895…
