This is so upsetting on so many levels. I am awed by the bravery of these women. It is so difficult to call out a very powerful judge whether that’s Kozinski or Reinhardt.
You need to read Olivia Warren’s full testimony about clerking for Judge Reinhardt docs.house.gov/meetings/JU/JU…
And I knew @LeahLitman was brave in calling out Judge Kozinski’s harassing conduct. The idea that Judge Reinhardt would retaliate in protection of his friend Kozinski by going after Leah’s (extremely impressive) intellect is beyond appalling.

This piece of mine @slate from Sept 27 held up pretty well /1
The case for a lighting strike impeachment tightly focused on the Ukraine scandal. slate.com/news-and-polit… via @slate
This was my key point: /2
Impeachment was justified so close to the election precisely because Trump's actions threaten to interfere with the election: /3

The donations include $1 million to major Democratic super PAC, Priorities USA. All the major Dems got donations (including Adam Schiff, as I'm sure we will soon hear a lot) opensecrets.org/search?order=d…
Yes it appears Khawaja later donated to Trump inauguration as well. It does not appear that this is part of this indictment, though it is hard to tell without seeing the indictment itself (so far I can only find press release)

Here is what Acting Ambassador Bill Taylor said today about the phone call between Sondland and Trump on July 26. His testimony is a bombshell. 1/19 tinyurl.com/yx2zwk76
David Holmes, the Embassy aide who reportedly overheard the call and who reported what Sondland told him afterward, is scheduled to testify to the House Intel Committee behind closed doors on Friday. 2/19
Sondland will of course be questioned closely about the call at his public hearing this coming Wednesday. Sondland will have to confirm what Holmes has reported through Taylor, because if Sondland doesn’t, he is at risk of going to jail for perjury. 3/19

🇺🇸Here we go. Chair @AdamSchiff gaveled in. Trump Impeachment Hearings have begun at 10:05 am

Dedicating this thread to @RepCummings who said: "When we're dancing with the angels, the question will be asked: In 2019, what did we do to make sure we kept our democracy intact?"

1/
@AdamSchiff @RepCummings Schiff begins by mapping out procedure. Chair Schiff will make an opening statement, then Ranking Member Nunes. Before he can finish, Rep. Ratcliffe interrupted. Wants to know how many 45 minute rounds of questioning Schiff and Nunes will each have. Schiff said not clear yet.

2/
@AdamSchiff @RepCummings Schiff begins his opening statement by reminding us that Russia invaded Ukraine. Did Trump seek to exploit ally's vulnerability to Russia by conditioning official acts on their willingness to assist in investigations to help Trump's re-election campaign.

Introduction

Thank you Sec Ashcroft for that kind introduction. I’m glad to be here in Missouri and eager to spend some time with all of you today.

I’d like to begin by noting that tomorrow marks an important anniversary in our country’s history—the attacks on Sept 11th, 2001.
Nearly 3,000 innocent people died that day, making it the deadliest terrorist attack to ever occur on American soil. In the days following the attack, our fear and incredulity were replaced by defiance and determination.

#Important:
Yesterday late afternoon #Russia/n forces took 3 positions in Qusseyr and Juseh and established checkpoints. #Hezbollah, not informed of the Russian presence, came close to these forces and asked their immediate pull out+
Following the direct intervention of President Bashar al-Assad, the Russian force pulled out this morning and avoided any clash with #Hezbollah in the area.

hezbollah maantin and kept all positions. The #Russia/n move was not coordinated.+

#Hezbollah did not...I repeat, did not pull out one single element from the area.

I spoke to people on the ground: The Russian decision was unclear and considered unwelcome by the forces on the ground. Still, many elements of this move are unclear.
