The best thing I can do for the Constitution is to treat the House impeachment process with Constitutional disdain.

Legitimizing this House impeachment effort politically weaponizes impeachment and demeans the Constitution.

cnn.com/videos/politic…
The House impeachment Articles are based on hearsay.

They also never provided President Trump the opportunity to confront his accuser or meaningful Due Process.
I don’t need a lecture from Democrats on the Constitution after this House debacle, which is being fully embraced by the Senate Democratic leadership.

When it comes to foreign policy, the big winner in the #DemDebate was Iran.

▶️ Not one candidate applauded the death of Soleimani, the Quds Force Commander.

▶️ All the candidates rejected the ‘Maximum Pressure’ campaign of President @realDonaldTrump.
▶️ All candidates promised to adhere to the original and terribly flawed Obama nuclear deal with Iran.

If you are the Ayatollah and his henchmen, you have to be inspired by what you heard last night at the Democratic presidential debate.
If you are a protestor in the streets of Iran demanding your freedom, standing against the Ayatollah, and demanding a better life -- the Democratic debate was a gut punch.

Great to see President @realDonaldTrump standing behind the Iranian people as they stand up to the Ayatollah and his corrupt regime.
To my Democratic colleagues and Libertarians who advocate for individual liberty: where are your voices when it comes to supporting the Iranian people and their desire to be free? Your silence is deafening and disappointing.
We should all stand with the Iranian people as they demand their freedom.

To those Members of Congress who question the assessment the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and CIA Director who forcefully made the case there was an imminent threat to U.S. personnel in Iraq and throughout the region coming from Quds Force commander Soleimani:
Do you believe the Chairman and CIA Director are incompetent?

Lying?

I’m beyond disgusted by the suggestion the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and CIA Director got it wrong when it comes to the actions of General Soleimani.
With all due respect, a third grader just watching the news could figure out our people were in grave danger in Iraq.

A politician living in the safety of Washington has a much different definition of “imminent threat” than those Americans stationed in Iraq.

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.

Just 20 minutes after Donald Trump was sworn in on January 20, 2017, The Washington Post ran a prophetic headline declaring, “The campaign to impeach President Trump has begun.”
That headline foretold how, for 30 months, the Democrat Party (with its Leftmedia public relations conglomerates), would collude with deep-state operatives in the CIA and FBI, essentially saboteur holdovers from the Obama administration, to undermine the Trump administration.

So the Republicans are hanging their #impeachment case on four points, circulated to their members today. If this is the best they've got, they're in trouble. I will explain.
Point 1: the call summary.

Trump's aides know a) he's not the most coherent speaker and b) the kingpin never actually says the incriminating thing.

So they have to set the context for the call.

They communicate the actual ask on *three* occasions before the 25th call.
Trump's aides tell Ukrainians a WH visit is conditioned on investigations into Hunter Biden & 2016 on:

July 2, in Toronto when Volker talks to Zelenskyy.
July 10, at the WH when Sondland meets a Ukrainian delegation.
July 19, on a phone call between Sondland & Zelenskyy.

THREAD: FAILURE TO IMPEACH

Trump's behavior absolutely warrants — even demands — #impeachment. And this is without #Mueller or #CohenTestimony. But the GOP will subvert the Constitution to protect him. And House Dems refuse to do it, even though polls show majority support.
THREAD: FAILURE TO IMPEACH

And to the argument that the Senate won't convict, that doesn't matter. The PROCESS of impeachment will affirm that the rule of law still matters, and it can focus the national spotlight on the sheer magnitude of Trump/Pence's corruption.
THREAD: FAILURE TO IMPEACH

#Impeachment hearings would tell the world American democracy is still alive and that kleptocracy and creeping fascism haven't completely destroyed the rule of law. House Dems refusing to do it is a failure, and will cost us dearly. No sugarcoating it.

Twitter is filled with lying sacks today. @AlanDersh did not say, at some level of high generality, that the 25th Amendment violates the #Constitution. I'm linking the video because I had to go watch to see exactly what was said.

As you can plainly hear, @alandersh made the point that the proposed invocation by #mccable, #rosenstein, and others, of the 25th Amendment would be unconstitutional. And he was correct in that assertion.
The 25th Amendment is not the "we are unhappy with you" amendment to the Constitution. It is the "unable to perform the duties of the office" due to disability amendment.
