House impeachment managers at the mics now to harangue McConnell over the rules resolution for the trial.

“This resembles nothing like the Clinton proceeding,” @RepAdamSchiff says.
@RepAdamSchiff Schiff: “If Senator McConnell makes this the first impeachment trial in history without witnesses or documents, it will not prove the president innocent; it will merely prove the Senate guilty of working with the president to obstruct the truth from coming out.”
@RepAdamSchiff Nadler: “To be debating whether you can have the evidence admitted, to be debating whether you should allow witnesses, is to be debating whether you should have a cover-up — by definition.”

NEWS: McConnell’s impeachment procedures resolution, obtained by @politico, allows:

—24 hours (but no more than 2 trial days) per side for opening arguments
—16 hours for senators’ questioning
—4-hour debate, then a vote, on whether to consider witnesses or new info
@politico *If* witnesses are called, they must first be deposed — “and the Senate shall decide after deposition which witnesses shall testify.”

Trump is speaking now, flanked by Pence, Pompeo, Esper and military leaders. "As long as I am president of the United States, Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. Good morning," he begins.
Trump says Americans should be "extremely grateful and happy," because there were "no casualties" in the Iranian attack last night. "Only minimal damage was sustained at our military bases."
Trump says "Iran appears to be standing down," and that's a good thing for everyone involved and for the world.

Le président US #Trump annonce que ses tweets serviront de notification officielle au Congrès si jamais il devrait frapper, "peut-être de façon disproportionnée", de nouveau l'#Iran en représailles...
Pour le coup, c'est inédit, et sans nul doute vraiment historique.
RT
2) Ce tweet de #Trump est à la fois 1 provocation ravageuse envers le Congrès, en particulier la Chambre démocrate responsable de l'#impeachment, mais aussi la suite logique de la "re-présidentialisation" totale de la conduite des opérations militaires menée depuis le Watergate.
3) Car on en revient toujours à l'autorité légale du président US à employer la force militaire sans l'autorisation du Congrès depuis la War Powers Resolution de novembre 1973,ce qu'on abordait déjà ici vendredi, à l'initiative de l'excellente @Naismtz7.RT

1/7 Again the media is dangerously backing partisan agendas by omitting the most crucial dynamic from this #Trump #Iran #Iraq #TrumpsWar #WWIII development

Iran already owns Iraqi governors

Iran also controls the largest voting bloc in Iraq's govt

2/7 RE #Trump #Iran #Iraq #TrumpsWar #WWIII

Now Iran controls the largest voting bloc in the Iraq govt (see previous link) & the only alternative is led by this anti American cleric, as the second largest bloc that is ultimately controlled by Lebanon

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muqtada_a…
3/7 RE #Trump #Iran #Iraq #TrumpsWar #WWIII

What Bolton & Trump are failing to explain (& media is failing to analyze) is they lost any allies in Iraq, Iran & Kurdistan (as well as Syria & Lebanon) by conceding to Russian dominance & creating this political vacuum in Iraqi govt

1. On Sunday, @SecPompeo will speak at an event to "support Iranian voices." Some in the Iranian-American community see the #Trump administration as allies in bringing secular democracy to #Iran.

As an Iranian-American, I find this so, so troubling.

2. Most proponents of regime change agree on a vision of #Iran as “a secular, parliamentary democracy" though they are light on specifics. There is something *totally wild* about casting Pompeo as an ally for any political movement that places secularism on a pedestal.
3. You might think Pompeo's anti-Islam views would be what undercuts any claims that he cares about Iran's common people. He has stated, "The threat to America is from people who deeply believe that Islam is the way and the light and the only answer."

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
