Did you have this on your bingo card? Calling an (undoubtedly favorably) edited summary a transcript? If so, put your coffee bean down on it.
Crossfire Hurricane. Put your beans down.
Checking....No. The Mueller Report preceded Trump’s Ukraine problems. The investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 campaign isn’t a defense to impeachment. But it highlights the fact that impeachment is the only remedy for presidential misconduct-DOJ says no indictment.
There it is. Basement bunker.

This is a nice argument he's making about executive privilege, but as many others have noted, Trump waived it by discussing his conversation with Bolton in tweets made today and likely in others previously.
This argument only gets more dangerous, as Philbin now gives every future president a pass on answering any questions as part of oversight. Does that also apply to turning over documents? Silly Bill Clinton, deciding to answer questions under oath.
Now he's discussing the accommodation process, as though that's even a possibility with a president who threw down the gauntlet from the get go, said no documents would be turned over and no witnesses would testify, and has never wavered from that view.

The most difficult issue for prosecutors is proving a defendant’s state of mind. Philbin is now complaining Dems case on Trump’s thought is circumstantial. Circumstantial evidence is how this is usually done, but okay, let’s hear from the 1st hand witnesses & Trump himself.
Amazingly, Cipollone starts by asking if we know what’s different here from the Clinton impeachment & who didn’t testify here that we heard from there & I jump out of my seat with my hand up - yes, yes, I know! He tells us, it was Schiff. I’m, no. Not my answer.
Trump’s WH Counsel, Pat Cipollone: “Impeachment shouldn’t be a shell game. They should give you the facts.” Yes. 100. Bring in the first hand witnesses & president Trump. Just like Clinton. Finally, something we can all agree on!

So, this is what excellent prosecutors can do in closing argument. They explain what all those pieces of evidence mean & how they fit together. This is masterful. And it would be even more compelling if Trump hadn’t withheld the 1st hand witnesses & the key documents.
Now the final touch: we all know he’s guilty, @RepAdamSchiff Schiff says. But do we have to remove him? There’s an election coming up. He proceeds to argue Trump is dangerous to our country, choosing his own interests over ours. “You can’t count on him” to protect our elections.
“There are no mulligans when it comes to national security...the American people deserve a president the can count on.” “If right doesn’t matter” he says (referencing Col. Vindiman) “we’re lost.”

(BINGO CARD THREAD) Impeachment is serious; the "debate" happening right now isn't. So in this thread are three bingo cards you can use to track fake GOP outrage over the final {*checks watch*} 1,032 minutes of "debate." There are three cards in total, I hope you'll pass them on.
GOP outrage bingo card #1 (pick 3):

1️⃣ "63 million American voters"
2️⃣ "duly elected president"
3️⃣ "because you hate him"
4️⃣ "you're just upset about 2016"
5️⃣ "since the day he was elected"
6️⃣ "did nothing wrong"
7️⃣ "voters will remember"
8️⃣ "no crime"
9️⃣ "dark/sad day"
GOP outrage bingo card #2 (pick 3):

1️⃣ "Obama gave them blankets"
2️⃣ "they got the aid"
3️⃣ "Zelensky himself said"
4️⃣ "because you hate his policies"
5️⃣ "denied him due process"
6️⃣ "hoax/sham"
7️⃣ "harms/stains the reputation of the House"
8️⃣ "undo an election"
9️⃣ "shame on you"

Ever since I interviewed Kerry Emanuel at the onset of the 2018 #hurricane season, I've been showing some of the results of his team's downscaling approach that, combined with model simulations, can yield projected return periods for outlier cyclone events.

1/
At my public outreach and educational presentations, I've shown how a hurricane like Irma at 180 MPH approaching Barbuda, a 1-in-800 year event, could have its return period reduced to 1-in-80 years by the end of this century. Similarly ...

2/
A hurricane like María at 155 MPH approaching Puerto Rico, a 1-in-200 year event, could have a return period of 1-in-20 years by late this century.

I'm sure some of my followers that have seen my presentations in person recall me showing these slides.

Mueller, She Wrote Podcast

🔥🔥🔥BEANS THREAD🔥🔥🔥

1/ Ok, Mueller Junkies. I have a guess as to whom is involved in the second contempt case meant to challenge the constitutionality of Mueller’s appointment that dropped in Politico. Here’s that story from @politico @joshgerstein politico.com/story/2018/10/…
2/ As we know from the sleuthing, this is NOT the Andrew Miller case where he held himself in contempt as @JoyceWhiteVance explained so he could appeal the constitutionality of the Mueller probe. @joshgerstein just appeared on @maddow and gave a timeline that jogged my memory...
3/ He said back in September and October, this mystery person appears to have refused a subpoena (by evoking some sort of privilege for example), then appealed to the DC court, who told him he’d have to be held in contempt, which he seems to have done recently...

🔥TRANSCRIPT🔥

Despite objections of @ChuckGrassley & other @senjudiciary Republicans, @SenFeinstein decided to #ReleaseTheTranscript of Fusion GPS Glenn Simpson’s testimony‼️

I will *live* tweet commentary of the #transcript on this THREAD‼️

feinstein.senate.gov/public/_cache/…
The #transcript is *312 pages*. Things get JUICY on p62👉🏼Simpson describes the #SteeleDossier as ”broadly speaking, a kind of holistic examination of Donald Trump's business record...it evolved somewhat quickly into issues of his relationships to *organized crime figures*‼️🔥
Simpson says his work on the #SteeleDossier began in Sept/Oct 2015.🤔

Feinstein staffer Heather Sawyer asks WHO initially engaged Fusion to perform the opposition colonoscopy on @realDonaldTrump, says it was a REPUBLICAN‼️

Simpson/attorneys: GLOMAR🙄
