I trust this DC panel, at least two of whose three members are brilliant and fair-minded, to apply settled Supreme Court precedent to uphold Judge Mehta’s superbly articulated ruling in favor of Congress’s subpoenas for the president’s financial records. https://t.co/XEfm9BNnZc — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s risking our national security to wreak vengeance on those responsible for investigating his alleged wrongdoing to (a) win the presidency, (b) obstruct inquiry into how a foreign power may have helped him win, and (c) cover up that obstruction is itself clearly impeachable — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll be talking about the case for #ImpeachmentHearingsNow on MSNBC’s @amjoyshow in Joy’s 10 am hour on Saturday 5/25 and on CNN’s @AnaCabrera 7 pm hour on Sunday 5/26 — PolitiTweet.org

These swift back-to-back repudiations of Trump’s legally meritless attempts to deny Congress access to his financials should get Trump to read the handwriting on the wall. Fat chance! https://t.co/CyMXknyYZ2 — PolitiTweet.org

Who says “I’m an extremely stable genius, OK?” Only a madman or an idiot — or someone who’s dangerous because he’s both. — PolitiTweet.org

This is exactly what @JRubinBlogger recommended days ago. I called her idea brilliant at the time. I’m glad it’s taking hold. I’d call this an “impeachment inquiry” to maximize its force, but whatever we call it, it’s the right way to go at this point. https://t.co/6ghrEB1f6u — PolitiTweet.org

“Were Trump to be impeached, it would be for covering up his entanglements ... with a hostile foreign power, blatantly profiting from his office, declaring himself above the law, and demanding freedom from oversight as the price of [governing].” https://t.co/Tb7fwN41Zm — PolitiTweet.org

The existential case for moving to impeachment: nothing less is a meaningful response to the intolerable absurdity of the Trump presidency https://t.co/Mq04rVNGmE — PolitiTweet.org

The House Intelligence Committee under @RepAdamSchiff needs to investigate whether this circumvention of Congress is driven by Trump & Kushner’s private financial interests rather than the national interest https://t.co/sWQ6JX8t0D — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Trump actually called himself that AGAIN? The extremely unstable moron who wields the nuclear codes is dangerously delusional. Do those who wonder why it’s urgent that an impeachment inquiry begin NOW need further proof? — PolitiTweet.org

Watching Trump “perform” over the past week, I’m with Nancy Pelosi: I’ll just have to pray for this pathetic president — and for our once-great and not-yet-doomed country. And I’m no expert in prayer. — PolitiTweet.org

Linda Greenhouse says “If the ... Establishment Clause means anything, ... God’s will cannot be a constitutional justification for a law that erases an individual right.” True, but that’s a dangerously vulnerable basis for supporting Roe v. Wade. https://t.co/P66YxyTnF6 — PolitiTweet.org

This would probably have to be a Sense of the House Resolution expressing disapproval or condemnation because the House and Senate manuals make “censure” a disciplinary act, and Art I sec 5 cl 2 says “Each House” has power, presumably exclusive, to “punish its Members.” — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

This needn’t become a constitutional crisis — unless Trump tries to stiffarm the Article III Branch the way he’s now stonewalling the Article I Branch. If he does that, . . . 😱💥🔥⚡️🌊☄️🌪😱 https://t.co/gtwq7dkcU4 — PolitiTweet.org

I propose a silent graveyard on the Capitol Mall with a headstone visibly marked for each House bill buried alive by Majority Leader McConnell in the US Senate and awaiting the Democratic Rapture in 2020 — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Maybe each individual bill passed by the House and buried in the Senate should be represented by a headstone carried aloft by someone who’s being hurt by the act of burying that bill alive in the world’s “greatest deliberative body”? — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

How about inviting the WH press corps to a weekly House press conference covering all the work the House has gotten done that week while Trump was pouting, Sarah Sanders was napping, and McConnell was burying bills in the Senate graveyard? @RonaldKlain @JoeBiden @NicolleDWallace — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Please retweet if you’ve ever wondered why nobody in the House has introduced a resolution censuring @senatemajldr #McConnell for suffocating virtually every bill the House passes even when there’s majority Senate support for it — PolitiTweet.org

This may help explain the Lindh story: https://t.co/mMBlfQBcrh — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

At the risk of angering my fellow liberals, I must ask why #AmericanTaliban John Walker Lindh, being released today, wasn’t prosecuted for #treason and sentenced to life in prison? Doesn’t taking up arms with the Taliban right after 9/11 meet the Article III definition? — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Judicial support for getting Trump’s financial data with no impeachment inquiry shouldn’t be misunderstood: for subpoenas to make Mueller, McGahn, Donaldson & Hicks testify, a pending impeachment inquiry would help supply the clearly legitimate purpose https://t.co/LMNBWXia5M — PolitiTweet.org

My book with @JoshuaMatz8, “To End A Presidency: The Power of Impeachment,” PREDICTED how this saga would unfold: Because impeachment is an INTERACTIVE PROCESS, the way a dangerously criminal president REACTS to being investigated by Congress itself lights the path forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

The other “I” words: Investigation and Infrastructure. Trump, who’s his own “I” word, tells us we can’t have Infrastructure if we insist on Investigation. Yet another Impeachable offense! https://t.co/tzpk0jHgFv — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

For any president to refuse to perform his Art II responsibilities unless Congress abandons its Art I duties is a gross dereliction of duty, itself an impeachable course of conduct that seeks to hold the American people hostage. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Rod Rosenstein is a weasel. He helped Trump make up a phony cover story for firing Comey, then helped Barr put out a phony non-summary “summary” of the Mueller report. He should be prosecuted for conspiracy to obstruct justice — by an unconflicted Attorney General. — PolitiTweet.org
