#Republican_form_of_government
My tweet on U.S. Const. Art. IV, sec. 4 got highjacked by tweeter. Here is how a republican form of government is supposed to work, starting with the supreme law with legal definition, supported by Case law and State Constitutions.
U.S. Constitution Art. IV, Sec. 4
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect [each of them] against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive ...against domestic Violence.
Black’s Law Dictionary 5th Edition Pg. 626
Government; Republican government. One in which the powers of sovereignty are vested in the people and are exercised by the people, [either directly], or through representatives chosen by the people...

(THREAD) This is a thread on the significance of Trump’s admission yesterday.

Previously Trump had said that the infamous Trump Tower meeting was about "Adoptions".
Adoptions by U.S. parents of Russian children are banned by Russia in response to the Magnitsky Act, which are Sanctions against Russia.

This means that speaking about "Adoptions" means the meeting was about Russian Sanctions.
Yesterday Trump claimed that the Trump Tower meeting was in order to "get dirt" on Hillary Clinton. Trump Jr. knew he was getting dirt from Russians. This is illegal according to federal law 52 U.S.C. 30121, 36 U.S.C. 510 - Contributions and donations by foreign nationals.

LOOKING FOR LOST HEIRS
by Pastor Bertrand L. Comparet,A.B., J.D.

Have you ever stopped to question the intense hatred there is in the world for #white #Christians?
"The written intention of our heavenly Father #Yahweh is expressed in His prayer when we pray, Thy will be done on EARTH as it is in HEAVEN.
"In keeping with this, is #Yahshua's [Jesus'] statement that #Yahweh's servants have been on earth for thousands of years.

(THREAD) Republicans are lying about The Logan Act—what it says; why it exists; why it matters—and their lies are perverting discussion of a key element of the Russia probe. This thread explains The Logan Act is and why it matters now more than ever.

Hope you'll read and share.
1/ First, the basics: The Logan Act (18 U.S. Code § 953: Private Correspondence with Foreign Governments) is a federal criminal statute, and a very serious one. Violation of the statute is a felony, and those convicted of a violation can serve up to three years in federal prison.
2/ Republicans like to give the impression no one's even *thought* about this federal criminal statute since it was passed—incidentally, like *many* statutes—in the first few decades of the nation's existence.

But that's false—it was last amended during the Clinton presidency.

Just adding in clarity on the laws surrounding the Trump-Russia investigation:
/1
(1) Federal Election Law prohibits foreign nationals from contributing anything of value to an American campaign. /2
(2) FEC also criminalizes anyone who knowingly provides “substantial assistance” to foreign nationals making contributions. /3
