So now Putin is praising Trump’s call pressuring Ukraine’s president. Of course he is! The military aid to Ukraine that Trump conditioned on Ukraine’s help against Biden is aid defending against Putin’s invasion of Ukraine! Trump was doing the bidding of his Russian benefactor. — PolitiTweet.org

As @JRubinBlogger explains, I think @RepAdamSchiff and the other committee chairs are doing exactly the right thing by treating stonewalling by Trump cabinet members as impeachable obstruction of Congress. No more detours to court. Enough is enough. https://t.co/Z4hSwUXWF0 — PolitiTweet.org

Presidents should be impeached when they abuse the office to serve their own financial or political interests at the expense of the nation’s — betraying the country, whether committing a federal statutory crime or not: https://t.co/m8jrpSG6G3 — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepCummings should leave no doubt that resisting this subpoena would count as impeachable obstruction of Congress. See Article 3 of Nixon Articles of Impeachment. @RepAdamSchiff & @SpeakerPelosi have rightly run out of patience. The jig is up, Mr. Trump https://t.co/CEHB27g1p1 — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans should feel empowered to turn against Trump without abandoning their GOP identity. In fact, ejecting that fake Republican would bring their party back to its conservative roots. — PolitiTweet.org

“He was even more hesitant than I had been about pulling out that heavy artillery,” said Tribe. . . . “The very fact that he was so cautious about getting there adds to [his]credibility.” — @BostonGlobe, quoting me about @RepAdamSchiff https://t.co/DdqjtKejQk — PolitiTweet.org

More evidence that impeachment and removal are urgently needed. @JoshuaMatz8 and I predict this trajectory in our 2018 book “To End A Presidency: The Power of Impeachment.” Paperback available now. I’m biased but others say it’s a great read. 😊 https://t.co/3vs0vLGUdA — PolitiTweet.org

.@jmeacham asks the right question: Why is it that so many of Trump’s followers are drawn to the idea of a great wall along the border (with an alligator-filled moat, it now seems!) but don’t mind Trump breaching the sovereign wall around our elections? — PolitiTweet.org
Laurence Tribe @tribelaw
The book @JoshuaMatz8 and I wrote, “To End A Presidency: The Power of Impeachment,” predicts that the presidents who most need to be removed will reveal their worst tendencies by how they respond to serious impeachment drives.Trump’s talk of civil war and coups etc. is Exhibit A. — PolitiTweet.org

A purely informational secret ballot could reveal a lot before 1/5 of the Senators order the yeas and nays. Even McConnell might secretly fear that a presidential ticket headed by Trump would bring down the entire GOP, so let’s not rule this prospect out without further thought. — PolitiTweet.org

#JeffFlake has said "at least 35 Republican senators would vote for President Donald Trump to be removed from office if they could vote in private." Maybe hold a tentative secret ballot first to test Flake’s thesis, then a final public vote for purposes of ensuring accountability — PolitiTweet.org

Article I, §5, Cl.3: "Each House shall keep a journal of its proceedings, and from time to time publish the same, EXCEPTING SUCH PARTS AS MAY IN THEIR JUDGMENT REQUIRE SECRECY.” Might this enable the Senate to convict? Jurors in most trials cast secret ballots, after all. — PolitiTweet.org

In case you’re curious about the #Crowdstrike conspiracy theory that has mesmerized Trump and that he’s trying to chase down in Ukraine, Australia, Britain, Italy, and all over the globe with the help of Barr and Giuliani, this is a good explanation ⬇️ https://t.co/IVkBDA7Vr4 — PolitiTweet.org

An excellent piece on why it’s crucial that Trump’s way of inviting foreign intervention in our democracy be emphatically repudiated https://t.co/mfyTGBIbJ3 — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is normalizing the insidious intrusion of foreign powers in our presidential elections. Uprooting that dangerous practice is as important as ending his presidency to our survival as a sovereign republic. Read this powerful explanation https://t.co/hE2vHTYTe7 — PolitiTweet.org

Anyone worried that Trump wouldn’t leave office peacefully if removed or defeated should give thought to this self-enforcing exit: if the Republican Convention were to select a different nominee for 2020, Trump as a third wheel would have no real way to hold onto power. — PolitiTweet.org

Pompeo and Pence are all up to their eyebrows in #Ukrainegate. Whether Barr is in that swamp with them or limited his adventures to Britain, Italy, and Australia remains to be seen. — PolitiTweet.org
Laurence Tribe @tribelaw
Awful as this is, my sense is that it’s now a distraction. Focusing on it would create a “been there, done that” impression when we need to target like a laser on #Ukrainegate. — PolitiTweet.org

Putin’s goals are to get out from under 2 sets of sanctions: one based on messing with our 2016 election, one on invading Ukraine. Trump’s efforts to pressure Ukraine into settling with Russia & to “prove” Russia didn’t mess with us in 2016 make sense as ways to please Putin. QED — PolitiTweet.org
Laurence Tribe @tribelaw
Trump & Barr are trying to get other countries’ help in undermining our Intell Community’s conclusion that Russia interfered in our 2016 election so that the anti-Russian sanctions predicated on that conclusion can be lifted. So they’re working overtime to help Putin. Suspicious! — PolitiTweet.org

Amen. Way beyond repugnant. And the scariest thing is that Trump has no clue that he’s saying or doing anything wrong when he says he’ll take the country — even the world — down with him. There’s no limit to what he might do. — PolitiTweet.org

Intimidating the whistleblower and his or her sources is witness intimidation of the worst kind. The president is impeaching himself. And he’s trying the patience of more Senate Republicans than he realizes. Their political self-interest may soon start turning them against him. — PolitiTweet.org

So now we add Britain and Italy to Australia and Ukraine — though Barr won’t admit to being in with Giuliani on Ukraine. Trump has sought help from all three to undermine his Intell Community’s consensus that Russia helped him win in 2016. https://t.co/SKpgW3dnJe — PolitiTweet.org

MEMO TO ALL TRUMP’s ENABLERS: The truth will come out. Don’t be a chump for Trump. Remember he’s loyal only to himself. If principle doesn’t motivate you, self-preservation should. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Ukraine special envoy Kurt Volker, @kvolker, @SpecRepUkraine, a career intelligence official who resigned 2 days ago, is set to testify in Congress Thursday. When he resigned, I said I thought he’d speak truth to power rather than cover for Trump. We’ll soon see if he does — PolitiTweet.org
