Seems appropriate that the Trump defense has to start Saturday morning.

They're cartoonish.

And that's one to grow on.
Trump hoping to be saved by the bell next week.
That won’t work in November.

BRIBERY THREAD:
100% CLEAR.
The House alleged felony bribery in Article I.

The Trump lawyers are dense and/or in bad faith, so let's do this step by explicit step.

Here's the bribery statute 18 USC 201:
A. Corrupt
B. Demand/Seek
C. Anything of value
D. For Official Act:
2/ Now read Article I, Abuse of Power:
Trump:
A. Corruptly
B. Demanded/Sought
C. A thing of value
(announce Biden investigation, investigate 2016 server conspiracy theory for 2020 personal benefit)
D. For official acts
($391M in Arms and official state visit)
3/ In past impeachments and now, the Articles are not meant to dig into legal analysis. They summarize the CONDUCT, the ACTS.
The House Report is where you find the application of law to acts.
Analyze the content of the Articles and the Report.
Dersh just argued about titles.

If the Senate won’t have a real trial, New York State can prosecute & subpoena witnesses:

People of NY v. Giuliani et al on bribery/extortion conspiracy.
Subpoena Bolton, @SecPompeo @VP Pence, Barr, Mulvaney
Cc: @manhattanDA @CyVance

My argument @Slate:
slate.com/news-and-polit…
@SecPompeo @VP @ManhattanDA @CyVance @Slate More reason for Senate to vote for witnesses.
@ThePlumLineGS:
"GOP senators have no arguments left.
The very fact that there is a dispute over something so absolutely central to Trump’s conduct should make GOP senators want to hear from Bolton."
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
@SecPompeo @VP @ManhattanDA @CyVance @Slate @ThePlumLineGS 3/ Here I go through Article I against Trump step-by-step to show how it clearly alleges CRIMINAL BRIBERY, both in the concise Article and in explicit detail in the House Judiciary Report, p, 118 to 126:

1/ Historical constitutional fact-checking Ken Starr.
(Without comments about his Whitewater hypocrisy or Baylor U)

This distinction between Senators taking an oath has some legal merit. The Senate process is more court-like in a trial. But Framers chose the Senate, not courts.
2/ But here's the biggest oversight in Starr relying on oath language:
The only officer to take a formulated oath in the Constitution is the President, who takes an oath of "faithful execution."
And that language is part of Anglo-American impeachment standards, beyond crimes.
3/ Starr concedes "We are in an Age of Impeachment."
"How did we get here?"

I'm sorry, this is just too much to be smacked in the face with such chutzpah. He's 3 minutes into it with zero self-awareness. He is blaming the Independent Counsel Statute for it.
What a pathetic man.

Schiff, Pelosi, & Nadler are panicking. They have invested YEARS into tearing #Trump apart to the exclusion of OTHERS who are investigating the treachery all around THEM. Nadler has spent 30yrs trying (at one point with McCain) to close down Trump when he was about to build in
2/ NYC. He had plans laid out to build NY’s tallest skyscraper on the upper West side. It would have included shopping, housing for low-level as well as high income penthouses & views of the Hudson River. Trump was even looking to move the drive to improve views. Nadler realized
3/ after seeing mock ups it would change the demographic of his voting district. He hurried to Congress to consult with his buddy McCain. Together, the got government funding stalled/stopped. This was funding open to ANY developer. Trump turned to another project. The entire time

#Trump is going to speak in the Rose Garden any minute now. Is he going to lie a bunch about reopening the government? Is he just going to yell "no collusion! witch hunt!" over and over again? Both? Stay tuned!
Oh hell, #Trump is going to take questions too. This is going to be a sh*tshow.
#Trump is running about a half hour late. I wonder if he's spent this whole time on the phone with Ann Coulter, begging for permission to cave?

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
