"Why did the Democrats not continue to hold the articles of impeachment and add on additional articles, both related to the Ukraine shakedown but also obstruction of justics, abuse of migrants at the border, etc? Why pass them on at all?" -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/republic…
"There seems to be no strategy or purpose behind Pelosi's timing. The only notable thing is she knew she'd be in Israel when the Senate hearings happened, meeting with Putin, Netanyahu, Pence, Kushner, and Macron. Why time it like that?" -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/republic…
"Pence is also in Israel, and Trump is in Switzerland. So the top three people in government are all out of the country while the GOP Senate is holding this batshit, non-democratic, propagandistic trial. It all highlights extreme dysfunction, at best." patreon.com/posts/republic…

"The most important people in Trump's life have always been his lawyers -- from Roy Cohn to Michael Cohen to Rudy Giuliani. These lawyers are usually implicated in crimes themselves, and that's true of Trump's impeachment legal team too." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/republic…
"One of the worst is Alan Dershowitz, who was not just Jeffrey Epstein's defender but his friend and client. Dershowitz chooses to associate with sex traffickers and mafiosos. It goes beyond offering legal representation." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/republic…
"Dershowitz defended Assange and called Wikileaks the 21st century Pentagon Papers. He defended Kushner partner Benny Steinmetz and their money-laundering schemes. He's tied to so many people in Trump's criminal circle, including Epstein." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/republic…

"Dmitry Firtash having Lev Parnas on his payroll indicates that Parnas is very much in the pocket of Russian organized crime. His interviews only tell us what we already knew; the Russian mafia pulled off a coup in 2016." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/republic…
"With guys like Parnas, who come from organized crime, you always have to challenge what they say. They play both sides. They try to fool you into thinking you can negotiate with them. Deripaska did that for years too." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation

"You can never negotiate with the Russian mafia. They are ruthless; that's how they win. They keep out-playing the good guys because the good guys think people are rational players who act in their own self-interest." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/republic…

"Marie Yovanovitch and other impeachment witnesses join a VERY long list of people who've been seriously threatened by the Trump team, including Stormy Daniels, the judge and jury in the Manafort case, the judge in the Stone case..." (cont) patreon.com/posts/republic…
"...Lisa Page and other former FBI officials, Jamal Khashoggi (who was then murdered), countless other members of the media, every woman who has accused Trump of sexual assault"...

"There is a long, consistent history of mafia tactics." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/republic…
"Michael Cohen said under oath that he threatened over 500 people at Trump's direction. Comey said under oath that Trump behaved like a mafioso. All Trump's targets say the same thing. Why did it take Lev 'Fraud Guarantee' Parnas for people to believe it?" patreon.com/posts/republic…

Republicans gaslight, distract from THE FACTS:
1) TRUMP CONFESSED—on TV—confirming he asked Ukraine to investigate Biden. That's soliciting foreign interference‼️
2) MULVANEY CONFESSED—on TV—to the quid pro quo for aid. That's bribery, extortion, or abuse of power‼️#Impeachment
1) Trump’s CONFESSION—on TV—confirming he asked Ukraine’s President Zelensky to investigate Biden. That’s soliciting foreign interference. 🛑 And abuse of power. That he was toying w/ a vulnerable ally at war w/ Russia just makes it worst. #Impeachment
2) Mulvaney CONFESSED—on TV—that Trump solicited a quid pro quo—Ukraine aid for political investigations, adding, “get over it.” That Trump won’t let Mick testify is abuse of power AND obstruction 🛑 #impeachment #Facts #DefendOurDemocracy @HouseJudiciary

THREAD - THE #IMPEACHMENT CHARADE

(Note: If you're offended by someone refusing to cheerlead for #Pelosi and Dem leaders, I'd suggest you avoid this thread.)

Let's break it down. We've had weeks of #ImpeachmentHearings to "inquire" about what Trump FREELY admitted on October 3.
THE #IMPEACHMENT CHARADE

And these hearings came after months of Dem leaders refusing to #ImpeachTrump for:

Torturing migrant kids.

Violating the #EmolumentsClause.

Assaulting the First Amendment.

Obstructing justice with #Mueller.

Inciting #WhiteSupremacist terrorism.
THE #IMPEACHMENT CHARADE

Apparently #Pelosi's brilliant "long game" was to give Trump a pass on ALL his numerous egregious abuses of power, and to wait for a #whistleblower to magically appear.

And the ultimate offense was not kidnapping brown children, but coming for #Biden.

A note on #impeachment -

In a court of law, under non-presidential circumstances, impeachment is a tool litigation attorneys use to discredit the opposing side's witnesses at trial. When said witness takes the stand under oath attys. present evidence contrary to what the witness
claims. This weakens the other side's case by discrediting impeached witnesses's testimony. Once a witness has been impeached - by presentment of inconsistent testimony - the judge/jury can no longer use the impeached witnesses's testimony in reaching a verdict.
Simply put, they aren't trustworthy. In the case of Presidential impeachment that broad definition of impeachment applies, but the impeachment tool is used for a very different purpose. Under the Constitution, a sitting President cannot be tried in a court of law for anything.

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.
