NO! Trump’s Foreign Emoluments should be INCLUDED among the likely Articles of Impeachment, but if the impeachment hearings confirm the collusion and obstruction that the Mueller probe uncovered, they must be included as well. Not either/or but both/and! https://t.co/PazJX0IRSt — PolitiTweet.org

If members of Congress are more willing to use the “C” word (“constitutional crisis”) than the “I” word (“impeachment’), something is badly askew. An IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY is now overdue. Whether it leads to an impeachment of this president remains to be seen. — PolitiTweet.org

I tell Lawrence O'Donnell that impeachment proceedings should begin: "There is a point when caution becomes cowardice and a point when cowardice becomes betrayal of the Constitution." https://t.co/Q0yMTeWusv — PolitiTweet.org

Note well: Executive privilege was clearly waived when Trump invited public release of the Mueller report and the underlying evidence — even if not when he previously told McGahn he could freely talk to Mueller’s office. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll be discussing the latest turns in the winding road to uncovering the truth about Putin, Trump, Barr, Mueller, McGahn, and criminal obstruction of justice in the 10 pm hour on @TheLastWord with @Lawrence. Ready to think about impeachment yet? Hope you catch our conversation! — PolitiTweet.org

Trump has overplayed his hand in trying to gag McGahn and suppress a large number of clearly unprivileged documents. He has set things up to make McGahn’s live testimony all the more explosive when it finally takes place. The King of PR will be hoist with his own petard. — PolitiTweet.org

SCOTUS precedent supports such measures against executive stonewalling. Congress mustn’t shrink from using them. @tedlieu @RepJerryNadler @RepAdamSchiff @RepSwalwell @RepRaskin @RepCummings @RepMaxineWaters @ewarren @AriMelber @Lawrence @NicolleDWallace https://t.co/ifm0Y6yc8w — PolitiTweet.org

The S.Ct. has upheld Congress’s power to jail or fine anyone who defies its subpoenas. McGrain v. Daugherty, 273 U.S. 135, 174–75 (1927). See Groppi v. Leslie, 404 U.S. 496, 500–01 (1972) (limited procedural rights accorded a defendant in Congress’ contempt proceedings). Do it! — PolitiTweet.org

One more flatly unconstitutional piece of abject cruelty by Trump’s administration. This one has both Donald Trump’s claws and Stephen Miller’s fangs all over it. Honoring the statutory rights of only the few asylum seekers who can pay the ransom is vile. https://t.co/8CKUfGCaRM — PolitiTweet.org

Yeah. Like brer rabbit pretended to fear the briar patch! Lyin’ Trump puts on a show of welcoming impeachment. His mind, as @nytdavidbrooks says, is a jar of fireflies. Don’t let it distract you or let his pretenses call the shots. That way lies disaster. https://t.co/OvVeWJkWq4 — PolitiTweet.org
Laurence Tribe @tribelaw
Executive privilege won’t cover all 36 document requests, is subject to waiver, and can’t justify McGahn’s no-show: as a private citizen he can’t pretend to be under 45’s control. Finally, an impeachment inquiry’s need for evidence trumps privilege. https://t.co/tve3cVHS7b — PolitiTweet.org

Excellent nonpartisan advice to the courts that address the subpoena battles to come: FULL SPEED AHEAD! And my PS: A judicial sense of urgency would be spurred by recognizing that the House hearings are partly about whether to IMPEACH the president https://t.co/waYQB4vsRl — PolitiTweet.org

“Democrats (and other impeachment skeptics) need to more forthrightly engage with the argument that the failure to [launch an impeachment inquiry] could end up with Democratic oversight mostly being neutered, with no remaining options.” YOU MUST READ THIS https://t.co/70ifahXe7S — PolitiTweet.org

Watching Cohen go off to prison for crimes that Individual #1 directed him to commit so that Individual #1 could become POTUS — while Individual #1 lounges in the White House disobeying his oath and corrupting everything — just feels so wrong. So not what America is all about. — PolitiTweet.org
