1/9 Impeachment fun fact: sitting Congressman #AlceeHastings, participating in current #impeachment, was himself impeached. He was fed judge convicted on 8 articles related to bribery/lying under oath. 4-years later, he was in #Congress. Following is from Senate.gov:
2/9 “In 1981, a fed grand jury indicted Judge Hastings along with his friend William Borders, a D.C. lawyer. Hastings was charged with conspiracy/obstruction of justice for soliciting a $150,000 bribe in return for reducing the sentences of two mob-connected felons.” #corruption
3/9 “A year after Borders was convicted, the result of an FBI sting, Hastings's case came before the criminal court. Despite Borders’ conviction, and the fact that Hastings had indeed reduced the sentences of the two felons, he was acquitted...and returned to his judicial post.”

#EO12333 is going to be all over the interwebs, and #Twidiots will be talking about @realdonaldtrump violated this #federallaw and should be #impeached for doing so.

Let's start at the finish:

You are wrong. Shut up. Sit down. Take notes. Learn.
Here is #EO12333, paragraph 2.11. You can see that, by its terms, it plainly prohibits engaging in or conspiring to engage in assassination.
A 1998 Legal Memorandum explains two circumstances in which targeted killings ARE NOT assassinations:

Giuliani, Parnas & Rep. Pete Sessions involved in back-channel talks with Maduro—Erik Prince too.

In 2017 DonJr pals Gentry Beach & Wadie Habboush lobbied to lift VZ sanction & “dev biz optys.”

Corey Lewandowski lobbied on behalf of Citgo — the prize.
💣VZgate2💣

Wealthy VZ energy executive, Alejandro Betancourt López, hired Giuliani to serve as his lawyer and help argue that he should not be charged in a $1.2 billion money-laundering case in Florida.

López hosted Giuliani in Madrid when he met w/ Yermak, Zelensky’s aide
💣VZgate3💣

The Lopez case alleges that top officials of Venezuela’s state-owned oil company, business leaders and bankers conspired to steal money from the company & then launder it through Miami real estate purchases & other investment schemes.

‘Twas the week before Christmas
and all through the House.
They gathered in Congress,
and finally impeached the louse.
All roads with Trump lead to Putin,
‘cause he got him “elected”
The dotard thought if he cheated AGAIN,
it would go undetected.
His lies and his legitimacy
will never be believed.
The people have spoken: You’re #IMPEACHED Donald,
Please leave “President” Number Three.

Those who supported #impeachment long before the UKR scandal emerged are being proven correct. W/out #impeachment, Trump intended to frame the Dems as corrupt, flip the script on the Mueller report, run a racist & revanchist cmpgn and ride a good economy to win.
@realDonaldTrump had it all planned out. He concocted the UKR scandal as a 'two-fer': undermine Mueller's findings by promoting the Manafort-Kilimnick conspiracy theory that UKR, not RU, hacked the DNC server & damage Biden, so as to pick his preferred Dem nominee: Warren/Bernie.
That's why @realDonaldTrump & @rudygiuliani worked feverishly to extort Zelensky. He wanted that dirt now to launch a broadside at Biden this fall in order to weaken him and strengthen Warren/Sanders. #Remove

SPECIAL ANALYSIS: Lurking behind the trainwreck that is Donald Trump is the even more chilling prospect of a Pence presidency. America is now staring down the barrel of a Christian theocracy if Trump is sent packing. #Impeached mintpressnews.com/evangelical-ag…
Far right-wing theocratic fascism has crept into the halls of the United States government and Trump's impeachment will be the ultimate coup for this sect of stringent conservatives.
latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/…
It will put Pence in control, ready to unleash a wave of restrictive domestic, social, and economic policies aligning w authoritarian evangelical Christian principles. #Surveillance #Torture #EnemiesOfTheState theintercept.com/2016/11/23/mik…

SPECIAL REPORT: With Trump officially #impeached, a reminder that over two years ago, Julian #Assange warned that the intelligence community and @HillaryClinton were planning a "Pence takeover." @_whitneywebb mintpressnews.com/julian-assange…
@HillaryClinton @_whitneywebb Back in March 2017, #Assange claimed that two intelligence officials close to @VP “stated privately this month that they are planning on a Pence takeover.” However, as Assange noted, they did not say if Pence was aware of the plan or if he had agreed to it. Image
Another tweet from #Assange asserted that @HillaryClinton “stated privately this month that she is quietly pushing for a Pence takeover” Image

Today was roller coaster.

Lost an asylum claim. Tried to help a mentally ill and sick client whose visa was denied. Then the 5th Circuit ACA ruling drops. Then elected officials parade around an authoritarian responsible for everything that happened since 9 AM.
But we kept pushing, preparing a new citizenship application, another 2 asylum cases (Nicaragua and Venezuela), a media opportunity, interviewing new and motivated interns.

The #Impeached president heading to a useless show trial parallels my day.

How do you keep on keeping on?
When the #MuslimBan was upheld, I found myself thinking about my grandfather. I wrote about him, and today I think I need to, again:

I'm unimpressed with the #impeachment process thus far.

Trump should have been impeached in January for his crimes and abuses.

#Kavanaugh and #Barr should be impeached too. And those defying subpoenas should be arrested.

Anything less is soft-pedaling.
Let's be real:

The day Trump and Miller started kidnapping babies was the day Trump should have been #impeached.

In fact, he should be tried for crimes against humanity.

And if you think I'm exaggerating, ask the last surviving Nuremberg prosecutor...

And to the Dem leaders who pretend a #Ukraine phone call is "easier to understand" than torturing migrant children, I call b.s.

The details in this interview are stunning and appear to explicate why Trump should be #impeached for abuse of power and consorting with a foreign government to attack a rival.

Former Ukraine prosecutor says he saw no evidence of wrongdoing by Biden latimes.com/politics/story…
This is just shocking, really, even by Trump standards. One presumes since he got away with having Russia help him in 2016, he thought he could do the same thing with Ukraine in 2020.
Giuliani was definitely working for Trump as a foreign agent--just as Mike Flynn was in 2016.
This is stunning.
"I told [Giuliani] I couldn't start an investigation just for the interests of an American official [Trump]."

HOW WHITE CENTRISM IS REINFORCED (1)

@RepMaxineWaters & @RepAlGreen (among others) called for #impeachment LONG ago. Progressive activists have relentlessly called on Dems to #ImpeachTrump.

But conventional wisdom elevates white centrism and marginalizes POC and progressives.
@RepMaxineWaters @RepAlGreen WHITE CENTRISM (2)

Month after month, #Pelosi, #Nadler, #Hoyer and other Dem establishment figures have stalled and slow-walked #impeachment, while progressive activists and reps like @RashidaTlaib, @RepAlGreen, @AOC and others have pushed hard to hold Trump accountable.
@RepMaxineWaters @RepAlGreen @RashidaTlaib @AOC WHITE CENTRISM (3)

Lo and behold, after constant pressure from progressives on #impeachment, the DC establishment starts caving. But who is portrayed as the "grownups"?

Those who were ahead of the curve? Nope. It's Beltway centrists who get the credit for moving the needle.

It’s as if those who could do something are all just clueless, incompetent, or compromised! Because no sane person who could do something to stop this would let it continue without trying to fix it. Makes no sense whatsoever. So WTF is really going on?! Any ideas? <thread> 1/
2/ Think about what we actually no, just the facts. Forget supposition or wild ass theories, let’s just consider the facts.

trump’s America and his Republican Party supporters are all climate change deniers. Why? Trying to fix the problem will cost them and their businesses....
3/ a great deal of money; billions of dollars, possibly more. So they deny the science, erase websites, just outright lie about the facts. Yet the fact is the planet is heating up and doing so like no other time in history, while the rain forests in Brazil are on fire. They....
