"This is alarming behavior, even by the debased standards of this president. Mr. Trump openly interfered in the trial and sentencing of one of his oldest and staunchest allies, and his attorney general was more than happy to do his bidding."

"In any ordinary Justice Department, a president publicly calling for leniency toward a close personal ally would set off alarm bells. But this, of course, is no ordinary Justice Department...

"An aspiring autocrat is only as powerful as his enablers, and Mr. Trump hit the jackpot in Mr. Barr, who is now taking control of all cases involving the president, including Mr. Stone’s conviction."

“Birx now becomes the third person to be designated as the administration’s primary coronavirus official.

Trump said that ‘Mike is going to be in charge.’

Pence said it will be Birx.

Meanwhile, Azar remains chair of the coronavirus task force.” nytimes.com/2020/02/27/us/…
“Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, one of the country’s leading experts on viruses and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infections Diseases, told associates that the White House had instructed him not to say anything else without clearance.”

nytimes.com/2020/02/27/us/…
“The decision to put Mr. Pence in charge was made on Wednesday after the president told some people that the vice president didn’t “have anything else to do,” according to people familiar with the president’s comments.”

Ah. Well then.

“Mr. Pence’s slow and ideological response was widely panned for a reason: Pence got it backward. It became a case study in what not to do in the face of a public-health emergency.” msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
“As governor, Pence came under fire for resisting the CDC's urging to allow clean needles to be distributed because of his conservative, religious beliefs. But after mounting pressure from health officials and praying on it, he eventually relented.”

"Based on Pence’s response to the HIV outbreak in Indiana — 200 infections that could have been prevented if that response had been earlier — that concerns me...We’re already getting a lot of mixed signals. The public needs to be reassured right now."

"Richard Grenell did not disclose payments for advocacy work on behalf of a Moldovan politician whom the U.S. later accused of corruption. His own office’s policy says that could leave him vulnerable to blackmail."

"In 2016, Grenell wrote articles defending the oligarch, but did not disclose that he was being paid. He also did not register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which requires people to disclose work in the US on behalf of foreign politicians...

Impeachment 101

Fact 2 : Only 2 Prezs - Andrew Johnson and Clinton were impeached. Neither was removed from office.
Fact 3 : #Nixon was not impeached, he resigned.

Impeachment 101

Process
1. Speaker announces start of formal impeachment proceedings
2. House of Reps has to pass this with a clear majority.
3. It then goes to the Senate. The CJ presides.

Mr. @POTUS #Trump the #MendocinoComplexFires now = LARGEST in #California history, yet you haven't shown a modicum of compassion or concern. Rather, you've made bizarrely blamed "bad environmental laws," failure to chop down trees & water dumping.
Let's look at reality:

1.) Western America is historically prone to drought cycles, but the last 20 yrs have broken all records. Groundwater is no longer replenished, and year-2-yr changes are visible from Space. (red = 100% loss of ground H20) [more]

2.) Temperatures are soaring, with mean seasonal heat higher annually. California, to put it in your simple terms @realDonaldTrump , is getting HOTTER.

#President @realDonaldTrump's words, whether you accept his apology and his explanation, do not comport with his actions and his foreign policy toward #Russia. He has been one of the hardest presidents on Russia in recent memory.

#Trump #IntelligenceCommunity #Collusion
Where was the outrage when @BarackObama told Medvedev to inform #Putin "After my election I have more flexibility,"? I think much of the outrage being expressed- especially by #Republicans- is politically motivated.

#Trump #IntelligenceCommunity #Collusion #Russia
However, what @realDonaldTrump said was not right. It DID undermine our #IntelligenceCommunity, and it was a mistake. He has since corrected it and walked it back.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
