NEW: Schiff knows the Senate won't convict Trump. So he tailored his final impeachment pitch in search of a single Republican vote.

"Is there one among you who will say 'enough?'"

w/ @AndrewDesiderio

politico.com/news/2020/02/0…
@AndrewDesiderio Schiff made a direct appeal to Lamar Alexander, who has already said he'll acquit:

"If you find that the House has proved its case and still vote to acquit your name will be tied to his with a cord of steel and for all of history."

politico.com/news/2020/02/0…
@AndrewDesiderio Schiff knows that failing to get one GOP vote — when they're likely to lose a couple of Democratic votes — will leave Trump with the chance to claim a "bipartisan acquittal" while Republicans stick together.

NEW: A top House Intel Committee lawyer says he thinks a decision on subpoenaing Bolton will be made "in the next couple of weeks."

Dan Goldman, in a post-trial podcast interview with @PreetBharara, offered some insights about the experience.

politico.com/news/2020/02/1…
@PreetBharara GOLDMAN dismissed suggestions that the July 25 Ukraine transcript was somehow incomplete. He said concerns about that were "overblown."

@PreetBharara Goldman downplayed the march toward impeachment that followed Mueller's report/testimony. More than half of House Democrats wanted an impeachment inquiry by August, but Goldman says it was "clear" there was no great momentum prior to the Ukraine scandal. politico.com/news/2020/02/1…

NEWS: Bill BARR has *accepted* a House Judiciary Committee request to testify on March 31.

It's his first appearance before the panel since his confirmation and comes amid burning questions about his role in Ukraine matters and the Stone sentencing.

More details to come.
The letter confirming the Barr appearance:
UPDATE: Dems foreshadowed that they'll ask Barr about political influence in DOJ — particularly about the handling of the Roger Stone matter and the removal od DC U.S. attorney Jessie Liu.

Though by March 31, who knows what else will be going on. politico.com/news/2020/02/1…

Trump now attacking Judge Amy Berman Jackson who is still 9 days away from making a sentencing recommendation.
In 6 days since acquittal, Trump/WH have:

-Removed Vindman
-Removed Sondland
-Vowed payback/retribution
-Attacked judge in Roger Stone case
-Attacked DOJ prosecutors for Stone sentencing proposal
-Attacked FBI Director Wray
-Withdrawn Liu/McCusker nominations
Now Trump going after the 4 prosecutors who quit the Stone case today.

He says Stone "got caught up" in the Mueller probe. (His convictions, though, were for lying to the GOP-controlled House Intel Committees)

#NEW We have matched up county-level preferences for music genres with 2016 election results and have found the👏 key👏 data 👏 that capture the cultural currents that made Obama supporters flip to Donald Trump:

liking hard rock music.

THREAD.

economist.com/graphic-detail…
The data we have (from @VividSeats) is truly incredible. In every county, we have a record of the share of concert/etc ticket sales that fall into each genre in 2015/19. Here's that map (with each county scaled for population). Cities like rap/hip hop. Rural areas like country.
The music genre that most correlates with Republican vote share is, as you might expect, country music. A preference for "New Age" music (whatever that is) and Rock are also "red". Rap, Hip Hop & R&B, as mentioned, are "blue" music—as is liking alternative artists or Latin music.

One viral image being shared on social media used a bit of reverse psychology, asking what Americans would think if the details of this story involved the #tRump family rather than the #Biden family. #GreatWhiteHunter
