Sekulow surfaces a consistent Republican lie about the Clinton impeachment. He says that the House had conducted a thorough investigation, including all relevant depositions.

NOT TRUE... Ken STARR conducted that investigation.
Why didn't we have an independent counsel investigation into the Ukraine bribery scheme?

Will, you'd have to ask Attorney General and cover-up artist, William Barr.

If it were the House, I'd impeach him on Monday for bribery.
When the Senate kicked that, I'd impeach him the next day for treason.
When the Senate kicked that, I'd impeach him the next day for emoluments.
Impeachment now, impeachment tomorrow, impeachment forever.
If I was Cy Vance, I'd indict him Monday for financial crimes.
Next Monday, if I were Tish James I'd indict him for tax fraud.
Monday after that, if I were Xavier Becerra I'd indict him for whatever the hell they can think of out there.
If the Democrats take back the White House, I'd appoint Adam Schiff as A.G. with they sole responsibility of pursing Trump until he ends up hiding in the Russian embassy, AND THEN go after all of his criminal enablers, starting with Cipollone I guess.

I do not think Roberts will vote for witnesses.

I do think that, when McGahn's appeal and the baseless claim of "absolute immunity" gets to his desk, the events of the last week make it *more* likely that Roberts will join the liberals and slam it, HARD.
Roberts has now seen, first hand, the national danger involved in allowing such a claim to be surfaced in any way. Sekulow's arguments were designed for the Senate. When Noel Francisco makes basically opposite arguments before Roberts, he won't be able to deny the hypocrisy.
Roberts was prepared to vote for the Census question, until the leaked Republican documents made such a vote embarrassing to him. I *think* Sekulow has just made voting for absolute immunity similarly embarrassing.

Understand, when we call Republicans #cowards we're not just using an invective designed to shame and embarrass these people.
We're accurately describing their state of mind. They are AFRAID. They are more afraid of @realDonaldTrump than they are of the damage he causes.
@realDonaldTrump The problem is that cowardice, the true, pathetic panic in the face of danger, also engenders sympathy. Republicans like @SenAlexander have shown themselves to be small and weak. Their dripping fear in the face of danger, almost humanizes them.
@realDonaldTrump @SenAlexander So I prefer the word "complicit." For that is what they are. They are not merely afraid of Trump, they are active enablers of his crimes and misconduct.

Cowards flee from the great evil. Republicans... help it along.

1 IMPEACHMENT FLASHBACK
FYI I was opposed to the @GOP
#Impeachment of @BillClinton.
Yes they had sufficient cause and 11 felonies, but it was still #Political. The timing and the optics (Blue dress white stain)
Opened #Republicans up to what we are seeing now.
PAYBACK
2 I was a dyed in the wool Republican at the time, and although I was NO @BillClinton Fan, I knew my Party was making a BIG MISTAKE!
I also wasn’t so partisan I couldn’t see that unlike @BarackObama, Clinton did some good things because he was willing to work across the aisle.
3 DO’NT get me wrong... @BillClinton wouldn’t know a good idea if it bit him in the Cigar! 😂😂
If not for @newtgingrich and his “Contract with America” in Clinton’s 2nd Term; Billy would
Have been best remembered for The Lewinsky Affair, #USSCole & failure to kill BinLaden.

1- Thread on definition & history of Presidential impeachment. I am writing this to post now, but also for future ref in responses to other tweets/threads. Why? Because it's clear that many people don't understand impeachment, including blue checkmarks. So here we go (cont).
2- Impeachment is covered in both Article 1 (Legislative Branch) & Article 2 (Executive Branch) of the Constitution. Let's start with the Executive Branch.
3- Here is the infamous Article 2 clause. It's vague. "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors". The key phrase is "and Misdemeanors". What the %!@$ does that mean? In short, it can be whatever Congress wants it to be (cont).

OK, HERE'S HOW YOU DO #IMPEACHMENT:

Call only Republicans to testify.

Use only Republican quotes from the Clinton impeachment.

Start with #MitchMcConnell:

"Time after time, the President came to a fork in the road. Time after time, he chose the path of lies and lawlessness."
GOP #IMPEACHMENT QUOTES

Here's @LindseyGrahamSC:

“[Clinton] doesn’t have to say, ‘Go lie for me,’ to be a crime. You don’t have to say, ‘Let’s obstruct justice’ for it to be a crime. You judge people on their conduct, not magic phrases.”
GOP #IMPEACHMENT QUOTES

Here's @ChuckGrassley: "The true tragedy in this case is the collapse of the President's moral authority ... there is the issue of the abuse of power and authority. This White House has perfected the art of stonewalling around the truth."
