U.S. Criminal Code 18 U.S.C. § 1503: obstruction of justice is an act that "corruptly... influences, obstructs, or impedes, or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede, the due administration of justice,” — PolitiTweet.org

White House response to House of Representatives’ Second Article of Impeachment, “Obstruction of Congress”: “The second Article... does not allege any crime our violation of law whatsoever.” — PolitiTweet.org

And Government Accountability Office just found withholding Ukraine funding was a “violation of law.” https://t.co/72fLKg5HOF — PolitiTweet.org

Sham investigation by Ukraine of Biden is “thing of value” to Trump & campaign; It’s Solicitation of Bribery, 18 U.S.C. § 201(b)(2), if “a public official... directly or indirectly, corruptly demands [or] seeks... anything of value personally or for any other person or entity.” — PolitiTweet.org

On the “wicked ... idiocy” of climate denial. Brought to you by the fossil fuel industry, through an armada of front groups they hide behind, fake science they spread, and politicians they bully or buy. https://t.co/1wLwao0Uo3 — PolitiTweet.org

What do you bet the White House knows rules; likely is even drafting them in concert with Mitch lawyers? — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
The Clinton House managers knew the rules for nearly a week before the trial brief was due. With Mitch out to fix the case wholesale, I guess it’s a minor thing to handicap the House by not disclosing the rules. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Against this backdrop, I guess it’s a small thing to note that the House has already filed its trial brief, starts trial Tuesday, and has not yet seen Mitch’s secret rules. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
But nowhere in America’s long legal history am I aware of any instance ever where known evidence that is not excluded gets kept out of a trial. The aberration of blocking known evidence is brazen and bizarre. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Evidence is excluded for being cumulative, prejudicial, irrelevant, etc. There’s a whole body of law around when evidence should be excluded. When you don’t know about evidence, there’s also a whole body of law about after-discovered evidence. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
In all my legal experience, in all criminal, civil and administrative proceedings, the only way evidence stays out is if it’s excluded or you don’t know it’s there. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, we honor the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. -- a civil rights icon who bravely led the fight for equality. While we celebrate how far we’ve come, we must recommit ourselves to the work left to do. #MLKDay https://t.co/uo6r5pFh5f — PolitiTweet.org

A government beholden to dark money from big corporations and special interests is a charade. I’m proud to have received an A+ rating from @StopBigMoney because Americans deserve to know what’s going on in our democracy. https://t.co/KQM624W2Hs — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate — unanimously! — acts to improve the health of our oceans. The Save Our Seas 2.0 Act is just the start of the hard work that needs to be done. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
It wasn’t enough, but it got done, it got done unanimously, and it will make a real difference. Thank you to my cosponsors @SenDanSullivan and @SenatorMenendez. Now, on to Save Our Seas 3.0! https://t.co/ZFBbkMqbRk — PolitiTweet.org

The test is now whether BlackRock will act accordingly. Will it stop investing in fossil fuels? Will it support climate-related shareholder resolutions? Will it intervene to stop the oil companies it owns from opposing climate action? We’ll be watching. — PolitiTweet.org

On the finance front, the finance behemoth @blackrock sent out the attached letter. Highlights reel (bold text in original): https://t.co/HOfP4FEWOR — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Glad you asked! Larry Fink’s letter is a good start, but concrete actions have to follow. Using @blackrock’s immense influence in favor of climate-related shareholder resolutions & climate action in Congress would be a good place to start. — PolitiTweet.org
