#ImpeachmentTrial manager & war veteran @JasonCrowCO6 reminds Senators that THEY voted for the defense aid that Trump withheld illegally. THEY should want to see OMB & DOD documents to know why. He also debunks that the hold didn't harm #Ukraine, citing war reporter Sergei Loiko.
@JasonCrowCO6 Here's a link to the article Jason Crow cited from #Ukraine war correspondent Sergei Loiko on how Trump’s ‘favor’ and delay of aid weakened Ukraine in its fight against #Russia. As a war veteran, Crow gets how important equipment & morale are.
@JasonCrowCO6 Perhaps the most brutal piece on the war in Ukraine, as Trump delayed military aid, is this ⬇️from @ChristopherJM.

Trump defenders' claim that no harm was done to Ukraine is false & cruel. Trump toying w/ a vulnerable ally at war is nothing short of betrayal.

Yikes! I'm beginning to think the people around Trump are ok w/ his mobster character & threats b/c they're pretty thuggish themselves.

Case in point: Mike Pompeo. If I were @NPRKelly, I'd feel threatened by his intimidating outburst about Ukraine, in a private State Dept room.
@NPRKelly 🚨US Secy of State, folks: "Pompeo shouted his displeasure at being questioned about Ukraine. He used repeated expletives, according to Kelly, and asked,

'Do you think Americans care about Ukraine?'

He then said, 'People will hear about this.'" npr.org/2020/01/24/799… #Maddow
@NPRKelly Everyone is Trump. Pompeo flips his indecency w/ a reporter onto her—adding personal & professional smears. He tries discrediting @NPRKelly report by claiming she's part of an "unhinged" conspiratorial "media agenda." And never actually denies his outrageous remark about Ukraine.

😇Dershowitz 2020: Impeachable offense can’t be abuse of power, must be criminal
😂Dersh 1998: It certainly doesn’t have to be a crime. If POTUS corrupts the office, abuses trust…you don’t need a crime. If in acts of state, goes behind Congress’ back, lies repeatedly to public✅
Trump's star lawyer Dershowitz: "I wasn't wrong then. I'm just far more correct now."

For asking about his flip flop on abuse of power as impeachable offense, @AlanDersh called CNN @andersoncooper & legal analyst @JeffreyToobin "nitpicking" "bullies."

That went well! 😂

@AlanDersh @andersoncooper @JeffreyToobin 🎯‼@Tribelaw: It's sad the country pays attention to ludicrous arguments (about impeachable offenses & executive privilege) from Alan Dershowitz. It's b/c he's a FoxNews regular. The constitution & the country is at stake, and he's just selling out to be in the spotlight. #AC360

🚨🚨Religious Right openly invites Russian propaganda to fill American minds for 2020 >> Kansas City radio station agrees to broadcast Russia's state-owned propaganda media Sputnik Radio "to tell you the things that the liberal media wont (sic)" kansascity.com/news/local/art…
Russia's 'Sputnik Radio' now airs daily during prime morning drive time in Kansas City. Now actual Kremlin propaganda can start your day of far-right extremist demagoguery (Michael Savage) & disinformation ("TruNews"). And end your day with religious programming "The Rosary."
KCXL radio's far-right extremism makes it prime host for Russia's propaganda: "America is a very different country than it used to be… Now, we are a country that looks down upon traditional values. We are a country that puts its citizens second to citizens of other countries."

Good morning from Washington.

Growing up here, I never thought as I strolled the American history museum as a kid, I'd end up working in a real time exhibit.

Today, House impeachment mgrs conclude opening arguments. Their focus? President Trump's Obstruction of Congress.
President Trump's impeachment trial in the Senate convenes at 1 PM ET.

I will live-tweet and post updates and stories with my colleagues in this thread.

Bad faith actors like @LindseyGrahamSC will not care, but what @RepAdamSchiff is doing here is brilliant. He's referencing docs he doesn't have, reminding the Senate that they can demand those docs, and then explaining what *other witnesses under oath* have said about those docs.
@LindseyGrahamSC @RepAdamSchiff This BLOW US the entire GOP "second hand information" argument. The information is NOT second hand, it's first hand from people who saw the docs. If you don't trust them, if you'd like to verify their recollections, SUBPOENA THE DOCUMENTS!
#ImpeachmentTrial
@LindseyGrahamSC @RepAdamSchiff Again, Republicans don't seem to care about logic, or intellectual consistency. But this is pretty airtight.
"I'd like to read it to you, but I can't, so I'll tell you what those who saw them said. If that's not enough, issue a subpoena."

C-SPAN: "We have requested from the majority leader, Mitch McConnell, that our cameras be allowed inside the chamber for the impeachment trial, and no word on that from the majority leader." #ImpeachmentTrial
when someone tries to talk to me before morning coffee
SCHIFF decries process McConnell has laid out: "The opening statements are the trial! They will either be most of the trial or they will be all of the trial ... if the Senate votes to be deprive itself of witnesses & documents the opening statements will be the end of the trial!"

Welcome to today's #Trump #ImpeachmentTrial thread (potentially one of a few)! I've been playing around with tags a little in other tweets this morning but for now, I'm going to stick with the two I've used here. That may change later on, though. Follow/mute at will!
Today is going to be procedural stuff. The Senate will have to approve the (completely BS) rules proposed by McConnell. Dems will offer amendments, of course, but since a simple majority rules I don't have a lot of hope any of the amendments will pass. #Trump #ImpeachmentTrial
For those of you just tuning in, McConnell is proposing that this trial have:

Zero witnesses
Zero admitted evidence
Ridiculously little time set aside for opening arguments and questions.
As little sunlight as possible.

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
