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:

Deeply disappointed in this political stunt by @SenWarren.
She was either playing to the base for the primaries, or oblivious as to how it comes across so cynically.
This is not who she is, and she owes Chief Justice Roberts an apology.
If you think this tactic will be an effective way to persuade Roberts, you haven’t been watching him on the bench.
2012: When Scalia and Kennedy pushes their ACA Sebelius case too far to the partisan right, he recoiled and changed his vote very late.
This would backfire.
3/ Furthermore, it’s the 11th hour and trying to persuade one or two Republicans- and a conservative one, because all of the moderates have committed already.
This was a way to alienate any persuadable conservative, not win them over.
Terrible judgment.

Schiff alleges bribery at 5:55 pm.
After q from @MarkWarner @SenBlumenthal @MartinHeinrich:

@AdamSchiff: "The fact is that the president's conduct violated our bribery laws, as the Founders understood [bribery] & extortion, & violated our modern bribery laws..."

Much clearer.
2/
 "The Nixon impeachment listed acts but did not state crimes. Would the Trump lawyers say that the Nixon articles were infirm unless they stated a criminal charge? That's not a constitutional principle. They want to dictate how to charge offenses. But we decided how to charge."
3/ "Trump lawyers say nothing here is akin to a crime.
Under McDonnell, this would count as bribery, withholding $100s of millions, and no doubt it's akin to bribery.
We could have charged bribery in 2 separate count, but we didn't have to..."

Did the House allege criminal bribery?
Yes.
@RepJeffries made a mess tonight, but the House Report was clear:

Trump's "conduct here was criminal. In this section we address the federal statute banning bribery; in the next section we address the wire fraud statute." p. 120.
@RepJeffries 2/ p. 121 of House Judiciary Report:
"President Trump’s violation of both statutes [bribery and fraud] is further evidence of the egregious
nature of his abuse of power."
@RepJeffries 3/
p. 122:
The House Report goes through all 4 steps.
Here it concludes steps 1 and 2:
1. Solicitation/Seeking
2. Anything of value...

‼️Meet Trump & Giulaini’s two RU mob operatives working in Ukraine to influence prosecutors in an effort to dig up (manufacture?) dirt on Biden & HRC:

Ukrainian-born Igor Fruman and Russian-born Lev Parnas (between Pence & Trump).
The two Soviet-born Florida (Sunny Isles) businessmen — one linked to a Ukrainian tycoon with reputed mafia ties — are key hidden actors behind a plan by U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s personal attorney to investigate the president’s rivals
occrp.org/en/investigati…
Giuliani has publicly identified Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman as his clients and Trump has endorsed their efforts during a Fox News interview.

People are fleeing New York like never before. If they own a business, they are twice as likely to flee. And if they are a victim of harassment by the A.G. of the state, like what they are doing to our great NRA, which I think will move quickly to Texas, where they are loved.....
...Texas will defend them & indemnify them against political harassment by New York State and Governor Cuomo. So many people are leaving New York for Texas and Florida that it is totally under siege. First New York taxes you too high, then they sue you, just to complete the job
Mark Levin has written a big number one bestselling book called, conspicuously and accurately, “Unfreedom of the Press.” It is a great book that tells it like it is, fake news and all. Keep this book number one!

New York is poised to certify touchscreen ballot marking devices that put voters’ selections into an unverifiable barcode & can’t be reliably audited. The vendor is ES&S, which has donated $30K to the GOP since 2013. Decision June 6! #BanBarcodeVoting 1/

2/ Article about the dangers of barcode voting. whowhatwhy.org/2019/01/11/geo…
3/ The ExpressVote XL, which New York is about to certify, is not only a barcode voting system, but also a “hybrid” voting system. Hybrids can change your paper ballot after you cast it & can’t be reliably audited! salon.com/2019/03/28/new…

Does anyone else think maybe the NXIVM members have very damaging information on all of those opposed to the wall? We already know how far the tentacles of #NXIVM extend, especially among the elite...
