Until Trump was caught red-handed, there really was no dispute that abuses of power are impeachable. Here’s more background: https://t.co/Kwb5RptIki https://t.co/F2VEUWfNoM — PolitiTweet.org
Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy
Senate Rs are being told to accept a constitutionally dangerous argument: that the Pres. can commit any abuse of power to pursue any personal ends he desires with impunity, and Congress cannot hold him accountable. That's not a President. That's a King. /5 — PolitiTweet.org
Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy
Multiple impeachment proceedings have not involved allegations of crimes. Even the allegations against Nixon were grounded in a “serious violation of [his] constitutional obligations as President, and not the fact that violations of federal criminal statutes occurred.” /4 — PolitiTweet.org
Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy
SCOTUS made clear that impeachment is a vital safeguard against presidential “misconduct” or “abuses of office.” Even House Rs’ witness agrees a pres. “can be impeached for a noncriminal act.” And even AG Barr has written non-criminal "abuses of discretion" are impeachable. /3 — PolitiTweet.org
Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy
No federal criminal laws EVEN EXISTED when the impeachment clause was adopted. Arguing that impeachment requires a violation of a non-existent body of laws is nonsensical. As Hamilton explained, impeachment was created for "the abuse or violation of some public trust."/2 — PolitiTweet.org
Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy
Thx to Mr. Dershowitz, Senate Republicans are fundamentally misinformed about what grounds for impeachment the Constitution allows. Abuses of power ARE AT THE CORE of impeachable conduct, whether or not they constitute crimes. /1 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy
The President’s lawyer just argued that President Trump has steadfastly battled corruption. NOT TRUE. He's tried to GUT anti-corruption aid and wants to WEAKEN a vital anti-corruption law (FCPA). Here are the FACTS: https://t.co/JPmFDJ8HZp https://t.co/G0SMh2DFlH — PolitiTweet.org
Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy
Let’s not be distracted by arguments that have nothing to do with the actual LAW. The law provides no excuse for blocking John Bolton’s testimony. The Senate must not be complicit in a cover-up. /6 — PolitiTweet.org
Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy
• Any claim of privilege can be resolved quickly by Chief Justice Roberts and by the Senate, which is sitting as a court of impeachment. This won’t get tied up in court for weeks or months. /5 — PolitiTweet.org
Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy
• Executive privilege has ALREADY BEEN WAIVED. When President Trump talks or tweets about his conversations with Bolton, those conversations are NO LONGER PRIVILEGED. /4 — PolitiTweet.org
Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy
• Executive privilege can be overcome if the testimony would “contain important evidence” which “is not practically available from another source.” John Bolton’s testimony easily meets that standard. /3 — PolitiTweet.org
Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy
• Executive privilege can’t be used to cover up wrongdoing. @USGAO already found the hold on Ukraine aid violated the law. /2 — PolitiTweet.org
Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy
There’s a lot of talk about John Bolton and executive privilege. We should be absolutely clear about this: There is NO legal basis to block Bolton’s testimony. The law is clear: /1 — PolitiTweet.org

False. He ONLY released the aid —AFTER he was caught, —DAYS BEFORE the Ukrainian Pres was going to cave & announce the baseless investigations, & —So LATE that @USGAO found he BROKE THE LAW, & forcing Congress to RE-APPROPRIATE $35m before it expired (some of it STILL unspent) — PolitiTweet.org
