Thank God for Marie Yovanovitch. — PolitiTweet.org

18 USC §1521(b)(1) & (2) had a karmic moment today. It’s the federal crime of witness tampering, and Trump publicly and indisputably violated it within moments of the conviction of his longtime sidekick Roger Stone for that same crime. Oops. — PolitiTweet.org

The details are jaw-dropping: Zelensky “loves your ass,” Sondland tells Trump. And Trump doesn’t “give a shit” about Ukraine or Russia’s aggression— only about “big stuff” like sliming Biden. As I’m coming to see and say, Trump is the #Antipresident. https://t.co/Z57ed2VDjg — PolitiTweet.org

“The remedy of impeachment is focused on ...incapacitation and ...deterrence.” That makes it all the more idiotic to “credit” Trump with the fact that his shakedown/bribery scheme didn’t entirely succeed. @RuthMarcus explains it well here: https://t.co/UYuSas2MkY — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to see my book on #impeachment with @JoshuaMatz8 is proving useful to identifying the Constitution’s meaning of “Bribery” as one of the two expressly named “high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” Read this excellent analysis ⬇️ https://t.co/OM4iDcBXle — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll be discussing today’s impeachment testimony and Trump’s real time witness intimidation with @Lawrence O’Donnell tonight on MSNBC at 10:20 pm EST. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a sober assessment, but its prediction that the Senate will acquit despite the evidence is premature. I’m not yet convinced there are so few spines in that chamber. But even if they’re all spineless, nobody knows their political calculations .... https://t.co/7ot92W8aXF — PolitiTweet.org

.@jahimes is right to be angry at how the Ambassador was treated by Trump. And the Senator was magnificent in establishing that no executive power is absolute, including the president’s power — or “right” — to shove Ambassador Yovanovitch aside for manifestly corrupt reasons. — PolitiTweet.org
Laurence Tribe @tribelaw
.@RepAdamSchiff is doing a superb job in his redirect examination of Ambassador Yovanovitch showing that the GOP cross-examination went absolutely nowhere. Nunes’s effort to undermine her testimony’s relevance was left in tatters. Schiff is a splendid lawyer. — PolitiTweet.org

CHRIS WALLACE on FOX NEWS at 10:42 a.m.: "If you are not moved by the testimony of Marie Yovanovitch today, you don't have a pulse. ... The really dramatic moment is that this wasn't just testimony about the past. This played out in real time with the president attacking her” — PolitiTweet.org
Laurence Tribe @tribelaw
Guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty — seven counts of lying to Congress and witness intimidation, the very thing Trump did in real time during today’s impeachment testimony of Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch. Karma x 7. https://t.co/RHevIHH92T — PolitiTweet.org

In our book, “To End a Presidency: The Power of Impeachment,” @JoshuaMatz8 and I predict that it’s how a guilty president reacts to the pressures of an ongoing impeachment proceeding that’s likely in the end to bring down an unredeemably corrupt, lawless leader. — PolitiTweet.org
Laurence Tribe @tribelaw
This Trump tweet is criminal witness intimidation. Glad @RepAdamSchiff called it out in real time. This vicious attack on a witness during her testimony may chill weaker souls, but he won’t get away with it. It’ll be part of an Article of Impeachment for obstructing Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch was moving, credible, and compelling. Her heroic testimony clearly shows that Trump’s bribery scam required getting her out of the way so he and his henchmen could shake down Ukraine President Zelensky to smear Joe Biden and help Putin kill Ukrainians — PolitiTweet.org

Bribery is the practice of offering, giving, receiving, OR SOLICITING something of value for the purpose of influencing the action of an official in discharge of his/ her public or legal duties. Just saying . . . — PolitiTweet.org

“Using your office to obtain private gain ...is the ‘sort of corrupt use of public office to obtain a private benefit [that] fits squarely within the definition of bribery when the Constitution was written.’” Being caught red-handed was no defense https://t.co/c7lW1zHR4R — PolitiTweet.org

Even a Senate trial ending in Trump’s acquittal would rip to shreds the accusations against Biden re Burisma and the myth that Ukraine rather than Russia interfered in the 2016 election, hurting the re-election prospects of Senators who stick with Trump https://t.co/ZtdrYj7R1F — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s Trump’s petition urging the Supreme Court to review the Second Circuit’s rejection of his breathtaking claim of absolute immunity from all criminal investigation while he’s in office — even if the investigation demands nothing of the president! https://t.co/C73ppj4ew6 — PolitiTweet.org

Treason, BRIBERY, or “other high Crimes or Misdemeanors”: George Mason expressly urged including “OR OTHER HIGH CRIMES OR MISDEMEANORS” in place of “OR CORRUPTION” in order to cover all ATTEMPTS to subvert the Constitution. — PolitiTweet.org
Laurence Tribe @tribelaw
There’s no doubt Trump can properly be charged with demanding a bribe from Ukraine’s president — gimme dirt on Biden if you want arms to fight Putin’s aggression — and that the Constitution says anyone convicted of bribery “shall be removed from office.” https://t.co/AGOZqoUft5 — PolitiTweet.org

“The only examples of ‘corruption’ Trump truly cared about were the ...ones [he] and his henchmen invented for the purpose of carrying out his twin political goals — absolving Russia of sabotaging 2016 on his behalf and smearing Joe Biden going into 2020.” https://t.co/G7sz8Hgb2J — PolitiTweet.org
