NYT: “Both [sides] are bending the facts to fit their case.”

NYT then fails to detail a SINGLE instance of Dems “bending” impeachment facts; nytimes.com/2020/01/26/us/…
#BothSides is a drug

btw this is “likely voters”
always surprised by the number of “registered voter” polls that get put in the field for campaign surveys
at least 1/2 of registered voters don't vote in primaries

really? Romney spent this week “vocally” calling for witnesses??

the Bubble is thick, indeed
I.e. Romney was on CNN every night passionately defending the Constitution and pleading w/ his colleagues to embrace transparency?

good grief
Romney all week

Good morning from Washington.
Let us start today by addressing a distortion offered by POTUS this a.m.: The House *did* ask Bolton to testify and provide docs but Boltons lawyer said any subpoena rec'd would be challenged in court.
So instead of holding up the impeachment trial...
The House Dems decided against issuing the subpoena at that time.
Trump seems to falsely suggest that the Senate cannot subpoena witness testimony.
They can and could. The question is will they?
Here is what could happen.
WH defense team must conclude their opening arguments first. Then, we enter an up to 16hr round for senator questions to be submitted in writing. Then, sens. debate for 4 hours on whether to subpoena witnesses and/or records.

At the moment, I am perched high above the House floor where a small group of spectators have already taken their seats to watch today's vote to formally transmit the articles of #impeachment from the House to the Senate.
I'll have the coverage for @CourthouseNews. Stay tuned!
@CourthouseNews Lawmakers are trickling into the chamber and I spy with my little eye, a group of newly-minted impeachment managers: Schiff, Jeffries, Demings....
@CourthouseNews Speaker Pelosi, donning a bright coral-hued ensemble, has entered the chamber & is seated next to Schiff. A friendly convo appears to be unfolding between the Speaker, Schiff, Demings and I believe that is Sylvia Garcia (her face is turned away, I can't get a great look at her)

💥Top Diplomat in Ukraine Testifies to Direct Link Between Military Aid & Investigations. Amb Taylor described the quid pro quo “in excruciating detail”—Trump held aid & refused WH meeting til Zelensky opened investigations into Dem rivals. #Impeachment nytimes.com/2019/10/22/us/…
🔥Read Amb Taylor's opening statement. It's both gripping & heartening to see a State Dept professional lay out #Ukraine's strategic importance for the US & the world. Makes Trump exploiting U's vulnerability to #Russia particularly egregious. washingtonpost.com/context/openin… #Impeachment
Taylor set the stage for his damning testimony by explaining Ukraine's strategic importance, in 3 main points.

1. Ukraine is a strategic partner of the US, important for our national security & Europe's.
2. Ukraine is and has been under armed attack from Russia for 5 years.

First, his cancellation of the attack on Iran. Now this. If Senate Rs start turning against #Trump on #impeachment, it's b/c of THIS--because he's not a reliable enough trigger-puller for the neocon warmongers of both parties.
#Syria #impeachment #Turkey
nytimes.com/2019/10/07/us/…
Of course, even he can't get completely out of the neocon grip. Note that US troops r NOT being withdrawn from #Syria, only "pulled back." i.e., they won't fight a Turkish invasion, but will be there as tripwire should gov of Syria try to take back control of its own territory.
Because the #Kurds, now seeing what fools they were to ally with the US, will now likely negotiate a resolution with #Syria which they would much prefer to Turkish occupation.

🔥It’sGameOn!🔥

The House has opened an impeachment investigation against Trump

The House filed a petition to access to redacted portions of the MR re GJ testimony re Trump’s knowledge of criminal acts, RU interference in the 2016Elex election & RU connex to his campaign.
🔥It’sGameOn2🔥

Finally, the committee seeks grand jury testimony about actions taken by former WH counsel Donald McGahn; this last request probably anticipates the committee’s rumored plans to seek an order compelling McGahn to testify.

#ObstructionOfJustice
🔥It’sGameOn3🔥

It is settled law that House committees can obtain GJ materials as part of the impeachment inquiry.

The Constitution’s text and structure — supported by judicial precedent & prior practice — show that impeachment is a process, not a single vote & IT IS UNDERWAY!
