Proud to stand with hundreds of my colleagues across the nation in naming Trump’s conduct impeachable and a basis for his removal from office: https://t.co/FJEqpqKaCC — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to @EricColumbus for the shoutout for my Impeachment book w @JoshuaMatz8! Eric is a discerning reader whose views I respect even more now that he has recommended our book. 🙂And the 2019 paperback edition (a) costs less and (b) covers more — in an entirely new epilogue. — PolitiTweet.org

Prescient piece by @maggieNYT & @patrickhealynyt published four years ago yesterday. All the signs of the demagogic, racist, authoritarian presidency were there, but not all journalists saw them. https://t.co/ElUlXKTZ63 — PolitiTweet.org

.@PhilippeReines offers a realistic prediction here. There won’t be 20, but McConnell might well release several like Collins, Gardner, Murkowski, Romney. If Manchin sticks with Dems, four will suffice to get a majority to convict. Still an acquittal but a political triumph. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a great example of a situation in which functional and purposive considerations rather than changed circumstances might justify departure from seemingly clear textual meaning and historical consensus. https://t.co/UXHN9czO62 — PolitiTweet.org

“To End a Presidency: The Power of Impeachment,” pg 254 (epilogue to 2019 paperback edition):”In light of the overwhelming ... evidence of ongoing Russian [election] interference, Trump’s [utter] failure to defend the country ... is an unconscionable abdication of his duties” — PolitiTweet.org
Laurence Tribe @tribelaw
“To End a Presidency: The Power of Impeachment,” pg 251 (epilogue to 2019 paperback edition): “Trump’s public statements could qualify as impeachable... if they were... intimately connected to a broader pattern of conduct that itself justified [his] impeachment.” — PolitiTweet.org
Laurence Tribe @tribelaw
.@tribelaw & @JoshuaMatz8, “To End a Presidency: The Power of Impeachment,” pgs 249-50 (epilogue to 2019 paperback edition): “[I]mpeachable offenses ...will often involve a pattern of closely related abuses, rather than a single dastardly deed.” — PolitiTweet.org
Laurence Tribe @tribelaw
Pleased to see my book with @JoshuaMatz8, “To End a Presidency: The Power of Impeachment,” on @michelleinbklyn’s desk on top of the Mueller Report. Our 2018 book made the point that a “pattern” of abuses is likely to signal the urgency of an impeachment https://t.co/2cwQrtANNc — PolitiTweet.org
Laurence Tribe @tribelaw
.@michelleinbklyn’s analysis is akin to mine: It’s the PATTERN of Trump’s abuses of power, not each individual abuse, that makes his impeachment and removal so urgent: We know he won’t stop. Nothing, including the 2020 election, is safe while he’s there. https://t.co/upXrEoQN7d — PolitiTweet.org

I used to respect #KenStarr as SG and as a federal judge even though I often disagreed with him and thought he went overboard at times. But he has now gone totally bonkers in accusing the Speaker of abusing power. Crazytown, man! https://t.co/WcMDFRekjA — PolitiTweet.org

.@JonathanTurley’s analysis of bribery seemed to me so weak as to barely merit a passing grade in a first-year criminal law course. And as constitutional analysis, I think it would flunk. Surely he’s too smart to believe his own arguments. https://t.co/GKPWH9Op5M — PolitiTweet.org
Laurence Tribe @tribelaw
.@AlanDersh errs in saying the “Democratic experts [contended] the governing criteria for impeachment include . . . maladministration [and] bad conduct.” They contended no such thing. He is also dead wrong in saying “abuse of office” isn’t impeachable. https://t.co/KvVBLmpjJd — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s how the Republicans misquoted not only @neal_katyal’s recent impeachment book but also my recent impeachment book with @JoshuaMatz8. Seems they’re serial offenders. Not unlike Trump himself. Check out this expose: https://t.co/ciaV8d49QM — PolitiTweet.org
Laurence Tribe @tribelaw
They didn’t just leave out the ellipses from my “To End a Presidency: The Power of Impeachment,” they quoted p.140 but deleted my conclusion on p.141 — that partisan failure to impeach and remove for grave abuses of power is even more dangerous than party-line impeachment. — PolitiTweet.org

Putin now says publicly“Thank God nobody is accusing us of meddling in the U.S. election anymore.” Privately he’s thanking not God but Trump. And Trump is thanking Putin. https://t.co/vHhb6Wi5QA — PolitiTweet.org

No witness — not even the GOP lackey — could disagree on the core issue. @jgeltzer is right to focus on that rather than on the @JonathanTurley distractions https://t.co/A6UyvqsFm6 — PolitiTweet.org

“Our elections become less free when they are distorted by foreign interference,” Karlan said. “But that distortion is magnified if a sitting president abuses the powers of his office actually to invite foreign intervention.” At stake? The right to vote. https://t.co/jEt9NLcGOn — PolitiTweet.org

The House needn’t choose btw tightly focused impeachment articles & ones capturing Trump’s PATTERN of abusing power & then trying to cover up his crimes against the nation. Ukraine’s centrality doesn’t require forgetting Trump’s using Russia’s help and then obstructing justice. — PolitiTweet.org

This resembles an idea I suggested in a WaPo op-ed a few months ago, before #Ukrainegate but it no longer makes sense. Now it’s clear that Articles of Impeachment need to go to the Senate for trial. That doesn’t mean investigations should stop when the trial starts. — PolitiTweet.org

Looks like Barr will need to pick a prosecutor from one of the other countries he’s visited to push Putin’s propaganda about how Russia didn’t help Trump get elected; it was Ukraine that interfered — to help Hillary. If at first you don’t succeed . . . https://t.co/AFb3VAsSRA — PolitiTweet.org

.@JonathanTurley must know better. He’s deliberately equating impeaching to penalize seeking judicial review (clearly wrong) with impeaching for wholesale defiance of lawful subpoenas including those not under any court challenge. — PolitiTweet.org

So what? @AlanDersh is defending a red herring. Nobody proposes impeaching Trump or any president for seeking judicial review of Congressional subpoenas. @JonathanTurley was making a stupid straw man argument. Ordering defiance of all subpoenas is altogether different. — PolitiTweet.org
