IMPORTANT: Schumer laying down marker on Senate trial structure, including on need for witnesses
Schumer’s letter to McConnell comes before the two meet to discuss a possible bipartisan resolution to structure the trial - and after Senate Rs have made clear they’re shifting against witnesses
Structurally, this is a v. important sentence - ‘99 trial didn’t deal w witnesses til later. That’s what McConnell prefers: “The issue of witnesses and documents, which are the most important issues facing us, should be decided before we move forward with any part of the trial.”
Read @FoxReports for a great breakdown of Schumer’s opening offer on Senate impeachment trial structure/process cnn.com/2019/12/15/pol…

the bottom line from Capitol Hill on the shutdown is basically this: everyone, Republicans and Democrats, is waiting for the White House to figure out what their position is/what they're willing to negotiate on.
.@LindseyGrahamSC, as he left a meeting with McConnell: “Here’s what Leader McConnell is going to do – he’s going to let the White House figure out what move they want to make."
@LindseyGrahamSC Graham's point here is that things are shifting and folks on the Hill are at a tipping point. the WH hasn't weighed in yet on the clear shift, and Republicans will wait for him to do so, one way or the other, before making their next move.

The first floor speech for @SenDougJones is happening now. Tune into C-SPAN2
Jones: "It's time that we have a serious, pragmatic and practical discussion - not a debate or negotiation - but a dialogue on the steps we can take to reduce the harm caused by gun violence in this country."
Jones, after talking about his enjoyment of hunting and shooting in general: "While I know that guns and gun control are difficult issues in this country, I can tell you they are complicated for me, too."

Trick questions;

1) Are Senators “obligated” to examine the “evidence” in an Impeachment Trial in a fair and unbiased manner?

2) Are Senators required to rake another oath before the commencement of the Senate Impeachment Trial?
after the Chief Justice is sworn in, he administers a Special Oath required by Article I👇🏻
“I solemnly swear ... that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of ___now pending, I will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws: So help me God”
See page 5 of the Senate Rules on Impeachment - I’m not 100% certain these are up to date given it’s clearly marked 1868
So there “might” be “amended impeachment rules” that I haven’t found

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their day jobs properly & decided to take the law into their own hands. It started as a small cover up 12 years ago but has turned into British State Persecution.

My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

#Guardian #Telegraph #DailyMail #GMB #UK
Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.
