Reinforcing the shirts-and-skins nature of Washington, the Democrats essentially only questioned the constitutional scholars who agreed with them and the Republicans seem to be only questioning the constitutional scholar who agrees with them. — PolitiTweet.org

@sbg1 Here’s what Nadler told @sbg1 in February 2018: “You should not impeach the president unless you really believe that, by the end of the process, you will have not only Democrats agreeing with you but a good fraction of the people who voted for him." — PolitiTweet.org

Of course Trump and Republicans argue that Democrats have been pursuing impeachment since the day Trump was inaugurated. In that sense, then, inauguration so far has been going on 1,048 days. — PolitiTweet.org
Peter Baker @peterbakernyt
If you count from the date the Starr report was delivered to Congress, it was 101 days. — PolitiTweet.org
Peter Baker @peterbakernyt
Turley keeps saying this would be a record-fast impeachment but it really depends on how you count it. In the Clinton case, the House voted to impeach him 72 days after it authorized an inquiry. It has now been 71 days since Pelosi opened the inquiry into Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Turley turns to the Bob McDonnell corruption conviction overturned by the Supreme Court as a reason to argue against defining Trump’s arguments as bribery. — PolitiTweet.org

Eisen’s questioning suggests that House Democrats are considering an article of impeachment alleging objection of justice stemming from the Mueller investigation. — PolitiTweet.org
Peter Baker @peterbakernyt
Eisen asked Turley to confirm a quote from his @WSJ op-ed but didn't let him elaborate. Here’s the full article, in which he argued that the framers “warned against lowering the impeachment standard to a mere discretionary option” for the opposition party. https://t.co/MyME6Rj11W — PolitiTweet.org

Reupping this smart piece on Nadler by @sbg1 way back in February 2018 forecasting the arrival of this day. https://t.co/Qb7B9fZAxb — PolitiTweet.org

Jonathan Turley first came to prominence during the Clinton impeachment 21 years ago when he became a regular and much-cited legal commentator. — PolitiTweet.org
Peter Baker @peterbakernyt
For anyone who covered the House Judiciary Committee 21 years ago, it’s like deja vu all over again, except the Democrats are playing the Republicans and the Republicans are playing the Democrats. — PolitiTweet.org

For a president who prides himself on being the Great Disrupter, the NATO meeting in Monday has been a startling turnabout, one that underscored how Europe’s shifting landscape has scrambled the calculus for Trump. @MarkLandler https://t.co/yFAlJZnKJ0 — PolitiTweet.org

@RuthMarcus @washingtonpost The idea that a reporter could challenge his understanding of the law was unthinkable. In the era before anyone used the term “mansplaining,” he asked condescendingly, “And what law school did you graduate from?” Ruth waited about half a beat and then said simply, “Harvard." — PolitiTweet.org
Peter Baker @peterbakernyt
@RuthMarcus Had the great fortune to work with Ruth covering the last impeachment and learned so much from her about politics, journalism and the law. Will never forget the pompous lawyer who visited the @washingtonpost and didn’t like her questions. — PolitiTweet.org

Out today: “Supreme Ambition” by @RuthMarcus, a must-read for anyone interested in the back story of the Kavanaugh confirmation battle. Ruth is one of the absolute best — smart, thoughtful, incisive, fair-minded and did we mention smart? https://t.co/rL2of4JLRH — PolitiTweet.org
