Check out the masterful SDNY opinion rejecting both Trump’s effort to bypass the NY state courts and his claim of total immunity from criminal investigation while in office. The 2d Cir. stay just preserved the status quo and doesn’t portend a Trump win. https://t.co/jMY8yMh7fL — PolitiTweet.org

This careful analysis of why Trump’s Ukraine “ask” was an impeachable abuse of power largely tracks the framework of my book with @JoshuaMatz8, “To End A Presidency: The Power of Impeachment.” It’s now out in paperback with a 2019 epilogue, by the way. https://t.co/UQfZ5W5Xwu — PolitiTweet.org

“'They wanted us to contact the Russians or the British to seek information on Bill Clinton's trip to Moscow,' James A. Baker III, Mr. Bush's White House chief of staff, wrote in a memo later that day. 'I said we absolutely could not do that.'” https://t.co/UwbRytFMii — PolitiTweet.org

The emerging GOP line is that it’s wrong — but not wrong ENOUGH to be impeachable — for a president to trade arms or tariffs for Ukraine’s or China’s illegal help to defeat a political opponent. That can’t stand. For our Framers this was THE classic case for removing a president. — PolitiTweet.org

Excellent @DoyleMcManus op-ed about Trump’s infidelity to the Constitution that he clearly can’t understand and has no desire to obey https://t.co/cILxxVydgV — PolitiTweet.org

.@anneapplebaum is absolutely right. For Trump to be prattling on about Ukraine’s corruption would be a bad joke — if it was funny. Forgive me if I don’t find betraying America a laughing matter. — PolitiTweet.org

There’s nothing wrong with “quid pro quo” as such. What makes it wrong is for the *quid* to be the national interest while the *quo* is the president’s personal interest. That makes the “quid pro quo” a betrayal of the nation and an impeachable violation of POTUS’ Oath of Office — PolitiTweet.org

Pompeo in Greece: “There’s nothing wrong with a POTUS telling a foreign leader, ‘If you help us with X, we’ll help you with Y.’” You flunk algebra, Mike. It’s wrong if X = dirt on a political opponent and Y = arms Congress voted to defend against an aggressor w dirt on POTUS! — PolitiTweet.org

.@AriMelber is of course right. I’d go further. “Rick Perry made me do it” is more like a confession than a defense. It’s time to impeach. — PolitiTweet.org

The “big mistake” would be ever thinking we can count on @SenatorCollins to do more than voice her “concern” — and then cave https://t.co/1Zblp5iTKQ — PolitiTweet.org

The lucid analysis by @beidelson makes clear why a stray Trump v. Hawaii dictum doesn’t overcome the plain meaning of 1182(f): Trump’s effort to condition visa eligibility on health insurance coverage is illegal and won’t survive review ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

A great read about “the teeming crowd of sellouts and suck-ups who eagerly traded principle for position and are . . . doubling and tripling down on that transaction, to a point where it’s fair to ask if there was ever much principle to begin with.” https://t.co/mCKrHifZtL — PolitiTweet.org

Oligarchs and autocrats typically say they’re going after “corruption” when they’re actually targeting their political opponents. Trump is following that tradition to the T. — PolitiTweet.org

Even if this is legal — I’ve not had a chance to research that issue yet — it’s profoundly unamerican. So many patriotic, productive Americans could never have come here and become citizens if this regime had been in place when they arrived. Like me, eg. https://t.co/9LdYN4yH3B — PolitiTweet.org

The whistleblower’s complaint would’ve led any uncorrupted DOJ to investigate Pompeo, Pence, Giuliani, Sondland, and others for a criminal conspiracy to extort Ukraine & violate federal campaign laws. Trump would’ve been an unindicted co-conspirator. Barr is another. — PolitiTweet.org

“Wrong and appalling” is a good start. But the right word, Senator, is “impeachable.” Until you cross that Rubicon, you’re just whistling in the wind. — PolitiTweet.org

“The president linked support for an embattled ally to what he called ‘a favor’ that would help him attack political opponents. If this behavior is acceptable, there really are no rules left.” And if it doesn’t lead to impeachment, that power is dead. https://t.co/LKYIVt5IyE — PolitiTweet.org
