One of the things I did not have on my impeachment bingo card is that the GOP would have to sideline the top Republican on the Intelligence Committee from these proceedings...

1/3
Notice how it was Nadler (D) and Collins (R) from Judiciary leading things in the morning...

and then Schiff (D) and... Collins again in the afternoon?

Devin Nunes (not Collins) is Schiff's Republican counterpart on the Intel Committee.

Where's Congressman Nunes?...

2/3
Impeachments are so rare that there's no such thing as a normal one.

But the House GOP having their own supposed lead investigator in the impeachment scandal... *himself* tied up in the scandal is... quite the plot twist.

"Parnas and Fruman 'wanted a sole-source contract or some guarantee they would have a contract to supply liquified natural gas to Ukraine through Naftogaz,” using the company’s infrastructure such as pipelines and storage tanks...

washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
"Standing in the way of these projects were US Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, Naftogaz's reformist CEO and the Naftogaz supervisory board.

Giuliani’s clients, with an array of influential helpers, appear to have tried to replace all three."

washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
"When Giuliani was asked by Politico in October whether he had been aware of the campaign to install new board members at Naftogaz, he answered: 'I may or may not know anything about it'.”

Prosecutors' new filing in the Lev Parnas case requests revocation of his bail.

Remarkable turn of events, given Parnas's key role in the Ukraine scheme for which the president is now being impeached.

Here prosecutors cite Lev's "seemingly limitless access to foreign funds":
"In the last three years, Parnas received in excess of $1.5 million from Ukrainian and Russian sources":
"Parnas is aware that is is likely he will be charged with additional offenses"

Clear blue sky in Washington today for the impeachment vote. Moon still just about visible.
Shots from inside Congress. House begins to debate the two articles of impeachment in 30 mins. Vote expected at 3pm at the earliest (8pm UK)
It’s one day short of exactly 21 years since this happened - Bill Clinton’s impeachment. A strange echo with the man whose wife Trump beat to win power in the first place.

(That too occurred when the president’s political opponents held the House)

Heading into the holiday this week, it may have been difficult to keep up with all of the Trump #impeachment news. Here’s a thread of “light holiday reading” so you can talk to your family about what’s at stake. 1/
First things first: committees in the House of Representatives continue to uncover what feels like a mountain of evidence proving Trump’s corruption. But let’s not forget that Trump HIMSELF has admitted to the bribery scheme he’s accused of. 2/ bit.ly/2OKpzVm
Trump’s own officials have confirmed the bribery scheme as well. That includes Gordon Sondland, the Ambassador to the European Union, who testified UNDER OATH that Trump tried to bribe Ukraine and pretty much EVERYONE in the White House was in on it. 3/ to.pbs.org/35CMKHY

If you’re a GOP Senator up for reelection and you don’t vote to remove Trump from office, you’re just as corrupt as he & his Cabinet are.

It's time I had my say about #Impeachment, DJT's obstructionistic tactics, and @SpeakerPelosi's not pushing for an inquiry yet.

When AG Barr released the redacted version of the report to Congress, he did *not* include any of the underlying documents on which Mueller relied.

1/
Just like a lawsuit, a case has to be built based on facts and evidence. Both the Intelligence Committee and the Judiciary Committee have been working their way through the system, including voting to hold AG Barr in Contempt of Congress. DJT has been fighting them in court.

2/
Meanwhile, the Ways and Means Committee has also been working on getting DJT's tax returns. One of the Committees has also been working on getting records subpoenaed from DJT's financial management firm and from Deutche Bank, known for Russian money laundering.

Vigorous #impeachment discussion yesterday between polls and elections expert @NateSilver538 (con) and former Harry Reid person @AJentleson (pro). The subject is worth a thread.
2. As with most issues before Congress, substance and politics are closely related but distinguishable. As to substance, the argument -- persuasive to me -- is that obstruction of justice, contacts with Russians seeking to influence a US election, corruption and the rest...
3...will do mortal damage to American democracy if tolerated. Not proceeding toward impeachment proceedings means tolerating all of these things, though it is possible to deceive oneself on that point. The political argument @NateSilver538 makes is about American voters.
