116th question from @SenatorCollins et al. to both: are there circumstances in which president could investigate political rival not already under investigation?

@RepAdamSchiff: "Hard for me to contemplate circumstances were that would be appropriate."

#ImpeachmentTrial
@SenatorCollins @RepAdamSchiff Here's @RepAdamSchiff arguing in the @washingtonpost last year that the Obama administration's investigation (later found to have lied to FISA court) of then-candidate Trump was necessary: washingtonpost.com/opinions/adam-…

#ImpeachmentTrial
@SenatorCollins @RepAdamSchiff @washingtonpost Philbin: Trump asked about a situation in which @JoeBiden fired a prosecutor. Regardless, yes! -- a situation could arise. It would be in our national interest to have info about bad overseas conduct by candidate, even non-criminal.

92nd question, from Indiana senators to both sides: why is the ICIG transcript from House being kept secret?

@RepAdamSchiff: no real answer. Said could have included bribery, but that "abuse of power" is "HIGHEST" crime. [Absurd: where in Constitution?]

(1/3)

#ImpeachmentTrial
@RepAdamSchiff This is literally nuts.

@RepAdamSchiff is trying to argue that "abuse of power" is not only included in "High Crimes and Misdemeanors," but that it is a HIGHER crime than "Treason." Or "Bribery."

The Constitution did not mention "abuse of power."

@RepAdamSchiff Sekulow: House managers have repeatedly said "overwhelming" evidence etc.

Democrats on the House Rules committee are about to defeat a Republican amendment to allow the President's counsel to participate in ALL relevant impeachment inquiry hearings, not just Judiciary at the end bit.ly/322Zd5k via @BreitbartNews
@BreitbartNews Their response to Republican objections is to claim that the House majority has power to do whatever they want, therefore complaints about fairness and due process rights really don't matter, so suck it up, America
@BreitbartNews Democrats are also trying to claim due process does not apply in the House, which they liken to a "grand jury" (there is some basis for that). The Republicans point out, correctly, that a) impeachment is not ordinary crime; b) if it's like a grand jury, why are Democrats leaking?

Popped over the state line to witness the #IowaCaucuses. At Capital Square, the house is packed. My goal: convince everyone who’s been knocking doors here for the primary switches to Wisconsin for the general, starting tomorrow. (Our first 2020 statewide canvass is Saturday.)
Today’s my birthday, and everyone here at the #IowaCaucuses has given me the one thing on my birthday wish list: they’re getting deeply involved, voting, and recruiting others. You, tweet reader, can do the same thing!
As a state party chair, I’m committed to neutrality in the primary. But I’m 0% neutral and 100% delighted by this part of the #IowaCaucuses: the new voter registration tables.

Healthcare is the number one issue for Democrats in the #IowaCaucuses, for now, because it's early.
This is looking like a very good electorate for @BernieSanders and @ewarren, with 7 in 10 Democratic caucus-goers favoring single-payer healthcare.
@BernieSanders @ewarren The analysis can change over time and doors don't close for another 2.5 hours.

But DAMN this electorate is liberal. It just doesn't look very friendly to Joe Biden, Amy Klobuchar, even Pete Buttigieg.

Will caucus-goers sacrifice their ideology? It's definitely happened before.

Here are the most popular hashtags associated with Joseph Biden on Twitter.

Notice that Biden is the target of personal attacks, the same as Hillary Clinton in #Election2016.
Here are the most popular hashtags associated with Bernie Sanders on Twitter.

Notice that Sanders is once again classified as a Socialist scare, and directed at replacing Biden as the choice of voters.
