The news that Trump and Sondland spoke by phone between the two crucial Sondland-Taylor texts points to what I think will be the smoking howitzer, and Trump’s desperate attempt to justify stonewalling by calling Schiff’s Impeachment Hearing a Kangaroo Court will backfire bigtime — PolitiTweet.org

So now the law firm of Barr, Giuliani, and Pompeo will have to investigate @SenatorBurr and @MarkWarner for confirming Russia’s role and undermining Trump’s loony theory about Ukraine conspiring with the DNC to hobble his 2016 campaign ⬇️ https://t.co/NDSVY17yDk — PolitiTweet.org

South China Morning Post's Teddy Ng: "China has rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's call to investigate his Democrat rival Joe Biden and Biden's son, saying Beijing had no intention of intervening in US domestic affairs.” Nice try, Donald. — PolitiTweet.org

Canadian-American cosmologist James Peebles and Swiss scientists Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz just won the 2019 Nobel Prize for Physics for revealing the wonder of the dark matter and energy driving the evolution of the universe and discovering planets orbiting distant suns. — PolitiTweet.org

Nothing in the Constitution or laws of the United States limits the House of Representatives to just one set of impeachment articles. It would be perfectly proper to impeach Trump repeatedly for his abuses of power while continuing to pursue all the facts about his perfidy. — PolitiTweet.org

Abandoning Kurdish fighters like Mo as President Bonespurs proposes to do would be ungrateful, unpatriotic and inhumane; a victory for ISIS and Iran, for Assad and Putin; and a defeat for America and for decency. In other words, utterly Trumpish. — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepAdamSchiff rightly observes that impeaching the president for his ongoing abuses of power in bending US foreign and military policies and assets to his own personal ends — and then stonewalling — doesn’t preclude going to court to demand needed info https://t.co/kXVO4ypnYz — PolitiTweet.org

.@chrishughes is right. As is @SenWarren. #Zuckerberg is a threat to the survival of democratic liberty. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

This is impeachable obstruction of Congress. It fits Article III of the Nixon Articles of Impeachment to a “T.” And it shows Trump and Pompeo know that Gordon Sondland’s deposition testimony would’ve totally supported the #Whistleblower re #Ukraine https://t.co/uLHIofYles — PolitiTweet.org

Alert! This is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. Zuckerberg secretly worked to help elect Trump last time. See #TheGreatHack. Now he’s doing it openly. Dems need to WAKE UP and FIGHT BACK. Impeachment is just Step One. — PolitiTweet.org

Brett McGurk: “Trump is not a Commander-in-Chief. He makes impulsive decisions with no knowledge or deliberation, ...sends military personnel into harm’s way with no backing,...then leaves our allies exposed when adversaries call his bluff or he confronts a hard phone call.” — PolitiTweet.org

#Ukrainegate makes every prior presidential scandal pale by comparison. Trump is the first American president to betray his country. He’s on track to becoming the first to be removed from office. https://t.co/DAKfvIpUei — PolitiTweet.org

The SDNY opinion is truly masterful. And, despite the Second Circuit stay, it’s destined to be upheld and will become a classic. Both for its holding with respect to judicial federalism and for its alternative holding on the merits of the sweeping claim of presidential immunity. — PolitiTweet.org

“Romney is the one guy who could bring along Susan Collins, Cory Gardner, Ben Sasse. Romney is the pressure point in the impeachment process. That’s why the things he’s saying are freaking Republicans out.” — @gabrielsherman in @VanityFair — PolitiTweet.org

Barr has abandoned all claim to being taken seriously. He’s now simply a hack. So he’ll gladly talk out of both sides of his lying mouth. No problem for this big guy. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

This is exactly what’s needed. @MittRomney could yet play a pivotal role in US history — a role for which he would deserve a grateful nation’s eternal thanks https://t.co/CN180AyQ9K — PolitiTweet.org

When will @realDonaldTrump start blaming brain-surgeon @SecretaryCarson for Trump’s clumsy extortion of Ukraine president Zelenskyy? I can’t believe he’s taken this long. — PolitiTweet.org

Or maybe caught taking signals from the other team’s coach? Might such a QB be banned from the league for life? Asking for a friend. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

If a quarterback were caught calling plays at the line of scrimmage not to help his team score but to win side bets even at his team’s expense, would we say “Oh, that’s just terrible — but it’s not a firing offense?” Just wondering. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

So it’s the allure of lucre and not just trashing a rival that drew Trump to abuse his power and betray his oath! Makes perfect sense. With Trump it’s always greed, envy, revenge, and fame — in that order. The national interest? Not even on the list. https://t.co/jqfzRXK22M — PolitiTweet.org

“Bribery” in the Impeachment Clause isn’t limited to the federal statutory crime of bribing a public official, as this @lawfareblog piece and my impeachment book with @JoshuaMatz8 explain in detail https://t.co/OM4iDcBXle — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Here’s a different take on the high Crimes and Misdemeanors Trump committed in #Ukrainegate. @renato_mariotti says not bribery or extortion but worse. I’m still analyzing. One thing is clear: it’s an impeachable abuse of power. https://t.co/cH76Antbm8 — PolitiTweet.org
