"This is a fictional narrative that has been perpetrated and propagated by the Russian security services themselves.”
— national treasure Fiona Hill

High crime timeline:

Jul 25 — Trump offers bribe for favor
Aug 12 — Whistleblower files report
Sep 9 — Congress sees report
Sep 9 — Trump gaslights I WANT NOTHING
Sep 10 — Bolton bolts
Sep 11 — Aid released

President* Trump is relying on ‘20 treasons are better than 1.’ If you can no longer deny a crime, boast about it, try to normalize it. That's why the law must be the law, not politics.
— Garry Kasparov

61% of women favor impeachment. If the mid-term elections taught us anything, it's that women not only vote, they drive results up and down ballot.
— Joyce White Vance

It takes courage not to be discouraged.
— Ben Ferencz on replacing rule of force with rule of law

Watch @BenFerencz — advocate, Int’l Criminal Court in The Hague — on 60 Minutes:

“Wherefore President* Trump… demonstrated that he will remain a threat to national security and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with self-governance and rule of law.”

The jury foreman — #MoscowMitch — is working with the defendant’s lawyer to fix the outcome of the trial:

“Everything I do during this, I’m coordinating with White House Counsel.”

Is this legal collusion??

71% of Americans believe that President* Trump should let his top aides testify in a Senate trial.

A trial without witnesses and documents is not justice.

Many American voters now refer to President* Trump as an #AsteriskPresident.



Virginia Heffernan explains how 45* earned his asterisk:
“President* Trump is a man utterly devoid of moral beliefs, moral values, moral judgment, moral integrity, and moral conscience.”
— George Conway

You can’t promote principled anti-corruption action without pissing off corrupt people.
— George Kent, US State Dept

All 4 witnesses requested — Mulvaney, Bolton, Duffey, Blair — were deeply involved in President* Trump withholding aid to benefit himself.

If President* Trump is innocent, why won’t he let them testify?

President* Trump paid $2 million in fines after admitting to misusing his charitable foundation to further his political and business interests.

Yet, “Trump suggested he was neither sorry nor in the wrong.”

“The story is not that Putin is masterminding a vast brilliant attack on Western democracy. The story is Russian Mafia state cultivating profit-yielding relationships with aspiring US Mafia boss and his band of crooks, subverting democratic institutions.”

Why did President* Trump kill General Soleimani?

Did he believe that would curry favor with Republican Senators serving as his impeachment jury?

Is he offering any other bribes?

Please call 202-224-3121 and demand documents & witnesses in the Senate trial.

@SenatorCollins 202-224-2523
@SenatorRomney -224-5251
@SenAlexander -224-4944
@LisaMurkowski -224-6665
@SenCoryGardner -224-5941
@SenatorBurr -224-3154
@SenMcSallyAZ -224-2235

Truth matters.
Right matters.
It MUST matter.
Or we are lost.

@neal_katyal I too would like President* Trump to testify that everything in his letter to Speaker Pelosi is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

#SayTheLetterUnderOath
@neal_katyal Thread of responses to all of President* Trump’s attempts to excuse his inexcusable actions:

@neal_katyal 71% of Americans want President* Trump’s top aides to testify in the Senate trial.

Because we want justice.

(Thread) Russia + GOP =💕

Me: “Portions of the GOP are partnering with Russia to achieve their domestic political agenda.”

A person I respect: “I need evidence before I’ll believe that.”

So I put together a sampling of the evidence.

Buckle up. Here we go.
1/

2013: Russia enacted anti-homosexual legislation.

2014: Pat Buchanan noted that Putin was “entering a claim that Moscow is the Godly city of today” and stamping out western evil like easy divorce and homosexuality. See⤵️

buchanan.org/blog/whose-sid…
2/ Paul Manafort, GOP Operator and later Trump campaign manager, strategized on behalf of the Russian-backed Ukrainian president Yanukovych. Manafort also worked on “a plan to increase Russian influence in the U.S.” (Source for quotation: Snyder, Road to Unfreedom)

@AJTexas_6thGen See, you originally offered the full version of this image before I fact checked you. You can see it in the full tweet above, but in case you delete, here it is in all it's glory!
@AJTexas_6thGen It's funny you would be so willing to just edit out the parts that I easily debunked...but allow me to explain why you sharing an image like that is just so god damn hilarious in the first place.
@AJTexas_6thGen You see, Trump supporters, at least the real ones... are notorious for considering themselves patriots. They love our country, our military, our veterans, our flags, and our service members.

"Some of you on this Committee appear to believe that Russia and it's security services did not conduct a campaign against our country ..& Ukraine did. ... This is a FICTIONAL NARRATIVE THAT IS BEING PERPETRATED AND PROPAGATED BY THE RUSSIAN SECURITY SERVICES THEMSELVES."
"Russia was the foreign power that systematically attacked our democratic institution .. the conclusion of our intelligence agencies, confirmed in bipartisan congressional reports. IT IS BEYOND DISPUTE ...The impacts of a successful 2016 Russian campaign remains evident today..."
Fiona Hill actually wrote the book on Vladimir Putin and the Russian intelligence services.

Good morning! I'm back in 1100 Longworth, covering the final impeachment hearing this week for the @Independent / @IndyUSA, along with @chrisriotta in New York.

Follow along here

independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
@Independent @IndyUSA @chrisriotta Needless to say, very little in @DevinNunes opening statement is factual.
@Independent @IndyUSA @chrisriotta @DevinNunes The irony of @DevinNunes calling anyone a conspiracy theorist at this point is simply delicious.

He's now calling out Fiona Hill for debunking his conspiracy theories in her opening statement. Hill is not one to suffer fools, so it will be interesting to see if she responds.

New - Fiona Hill will offer a full-throated rebuttal to the narrative pushed by Trump and his GOP allies about Ukraine's role meddling in American politics, per source, warning the US to keep an eye on the Kremlin instead. cnn.com/2019/11/21/pol…
What Hill said in her deposition: “It is a fiction that the Ukrainian Government was launching an effort to upend our election, upend our election to mess with our Democratic system.” Will make similar remarks in her opening statement. w/ @jeremyherb
“Based on questions and statements I have heard, some of you on this committee appear to believe that Russia and its security services did not conduct a campaign against our country—and that perhaps, somehow, for some reason, Ukraine did,” Hill say

Good morning & welcome back to the #impeachmentinquiry. Today we hear testimony from Fiona Hill, the former senior Russia expert on the National Security Council; and diplomat David Holmes, political counsel for the U.S. embassy in Kiev. Testimony kicks off at 9AM ET.
The sun is shining on the Longworth Building this morning. Inside, spectators are already lined up, waiting for their chance to witness history in the making.
Live-tweet session begins at 9AM ET.
@CourthouseNews
POTUS refers to duly elected Representative Adam Schiff, and safe to assume, all Democrats or people who do not agree with his perspectives, as human scum this morning.
