I agree. Roberts is risk-averse. He’s also smart. Hiding evidence that’s bound to come out eventually is both risky and very, very dumb. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Yes, @Lawrence, 51 votes can overrule the CJ on any procedural matter, but if 50 Senators are determined to subpoena Bolton, and 50 are dead set against it, there obviously won’t BE 51 votes to overrule Roberts’ choice to break that tie — regardless of which way he breaks it. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

If @Lawrence really said the Chief Justice couldn’t & wouldn’t break a 50-50 Senate tie as presiding officer in the upcoming trial, I respectfully disagree. The Constitution’s text, structure & history all show the contrary. Eg: CJ Chase broke two Senate ties in Johnson’s trial. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s motives are always muddled, but for assassinating Soleimani it’s a good bet it was: 30% Impeachment insurance 40% Obama envy 10% Putin bragging rights 10% Revenge for past wrongs 10% Weakening Iran 0% Defense vs imminent attack https://t.co/91zVzf79XL — PolitiTweet.org

Memo to: Senator @lisamurkowski Senator @ThomTillis, Senator @MittRomney, @SenCoryGardner, @SenAlexander and @SenatorCollins You must vote as a group to subpoena Bolton & other key witnesses and to subpoena all essential documents if you take your oaths seriously: — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Trump’s rallies railing against his impeachment and the critics of his lawless wagging of the dog in Iran perfectly echo those of Andrew Johnson. He was a Tennessee Democrat. Hopefully a Tennessee Republican, @SenAlexander, will take his oath seriously. https://t.co/zyJu0BVcEi — PolitiTweet.org

This seems right to me: Make 2020 a referendum on Trump — or lose to him in the Electoral College again. @TheRickWilson has the formula. I’d listen to him. And I plan to read his new book. Not that I’ve got a lot of spare time. . . https://t.co/hovzfvDSPd — PolitiTweet.org

RT @tribelaw: Does @harrisonjaime have a chance to send the hypocritical @LindseyGrahamSC home? If he does, I’m all in. Retweet if you thin… — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Zero chance SCOTUS would — or could — overturn Senate “rules that turn the trial into a farce.” Key point: The Court’s non-intervention doesn’t remotely imply judicially blessing a McConnell-led whitewash as a real “trial” capable of exonerating Trump. https://t.co/AyYV66Xkwz — PolitiTweet.org

The failed Jan 3 attempt to kill Quds Force key financier Abdul Reza Shahlai in Yemen suggests Trump’s Jan 3 killing of Soleimani was part of a broader operation, raising grave doubts that the 2-part mission was truly designed to prevent an imminent attack on Americans as claimed — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

This puts Trump’s Soleimani assassination in a new light: it renders even more doubtful the “imminent threat” justification. This was part of an intended double-hitter, not a surgical act of self-defense by POTUS. https://t.co/ap2oZCSLR6 — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve made a modest contribution to Jaime @harrisonjaime and hope all 19,000 of you who “liked” this tweet do the same. He’d be a great Senator, and @LindseyGrahamSC needs to be retired. — PolitiTweet.org

If Trump plans to try gagging Bolton by claiming executive privilege, how about Bolton’s book contract? Does a $2 million advance trump privilege claims? Such BS! — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Trump’s desperation to silence Bolton is the best reason for Bolton to defy his impeached former boss. https://t.co/wuPL5qXxI7 — PolitiTweet.org

So sad to see what’s becoming of the Marshall Islands, where I helped draft the Constitution as the U.S. advisor to the Marshallese people and their legislature — the Nitijela — over forty years ago. Climate change is taking a huge toll. https://t.co/jHxIHwAGqb — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

So Donald Trump just told @IngrahamAngle that four embassies were being imminently targeted by Soleimani — not three or five, but four. Isn’t it horrible that we have NO REASON AT ALL to believe the American president about this? None at all. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

In the fog of war, it’s easy to lose track of what counts. Whether Soleimani posed an “imminent” threat that killing him would assuredly end isn’t just a debate over labels. It’s the difference btw self-defense to protect Americans and murder to stave off Trump’s impeachment. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

The fight over what kind of trial this will be has barely begun. Handing the articles of impeachment to the Senate is just the first step. Count on @RepAdamSchiff and the other Impeachment Managers named by the House to demand a real TRIAL, not just a phony masquerade. — PolitiTweet.org

This letter from @SpeakerPelosi lays out a compelling case for the path that this impeachment has followed from December 18 to the present and will now follow in the Senate, despite McConnell’s plans to bury the truth and extend Trump’s coverup: https://t.co/yoFxV6Cko2 — PolitiTweet.org

.@SpeakerPelosi achieved a great deal by waiting. McConnell’s game has been exposed, Bolton has invited a subpoena, more damning evidence has surfaced. The readiness is all. https://t.co/0acEb8GyzF — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

It’s another day ending in “y,” so it’s time to ask @senatemajldr McConnell: WHERE ARE THE RULES for the impeachment trial you’re obliged to hold? You can’t blame @SpeakerPelosi for not fielding a team in a game you’re refusing to define! You say you’ve got the votes. Prove it! — PolitiTweet.org

.@RudyGiuliani is a fool if he thinks the Supreme Court could, would, or should do any such thing. Did he sleep all the way through law school or just through Constitutional Law? — PolitiTweet.org
