McConnell voted to acquit today bc he was as genuinely concerned abt the dangerous precedent trying impeached former officials wld set as he was when he worried in 2016 abt the dangerous precedent of appointing an SC justice in an election yr. #TrumpImpeachment
Georgia doesn’t need military aid to defend itself against an invasion by Russia, so Trump threatened the GA Secretary of State with a “criminal offense” for not helping him corrupt the election results. #TrumpTapes
Trump admitted why he withheld aid to Ukraine. It wasn’t about corruption or Europe not giving enough support. It was to get an investigation of Biden and hurt a political opponent. #TrumpImpeachmentTrial
Trump couldn’t name a time he’s sought a corruption investigation of someone other than a political opponent. Can any GOP senator really believe Trump sought an investigation of Biden because he was just worried about corruption? #TrumpImpeachmentTrial
Much of Trump’s foreign policy has been affected by revenue the Trump Org gets from foreign governments. It’s amazing @HouseDemocrats & @JerryNadler have chosen not to include emoluments clause violations in the #ArticlesOfImpeachment. It’s as dangerous as what they did include.
Does anyone in @senategop or @housegop genuinely believe Trump cares more about US national security than his own financial interests?
Shouldn’t that be disqualifying for a president? People who care more about the country than their party should want to impeach the pres.
All the Trump people trying to get Ukraine to investigate Biden before releasing congressional approved military aid were simultaneously trying to use their positions to make money for themselves and their friends. Ukraine was more corrupt bc of them. https://t.co/T4VUvpiSgV
None of what @realdonaldtrump has been saying about Ukraine and Biden makes sense. It’s all just another in a long list of reason congress should impeach the pres. Bipartisan letter abt Ukrainian prosecutor whom Biden wanted removed: https://t.co/IQ3LS7WNxF
Seems like Rick Perry may have more risk of an indictment from the Ukraine scandal than Rudy or Pete Sessions. He used his position as Energy Secrety to pressure a vulnerable foreign gov to award contracts to campaign donors & friends. #ImpeachAndRemove

Does anyone believe all of Trump’s curroption & lawlessness is already known?
Does anyone believe a comprehensive impeachment inquiry will uncover nothing new?
Does @SpeakerPelosi really believe public support of Trump will grow if they begin an #ImpeachmentInquiryNow?
@RepAdamSchiff knows beginning an #ImpeachmentInquiryNow isn’t analogous to an indictment. It’s just a formal investigation. An impeachment referral to the senate would be the equivalent of an indictment.
The point of an impeachment inquiry is to “accumulate imformation.” There’s no reason for Dems to wait for more information to even begin an impeachment inquiry when they’ve already made it clear they believe the president has committed several felonies. #ImpeachNow
Instead of “begging the American people to pay attention”, has the Democratic congressional leadership considered actually leading and beginning an impeachment inquiry if they believe the president has abused his power & committed various felonies? #ImpeachNow
After the #MuellerHearings, @SpeakerPelosi’s position is the House will continue to investigate Trump, so they can litigate Trump’s refusal to corporate with their investigations, so they can continue to investigate...
but the won’t begin an impeachment inquiry? #ImpeachNow
The Supreme Court in Rucho:
If your party happens to be in power during a redistricting year, dilute the opposing party’s votes to the best of your abilities.
Good luck. #SCOTUS
After the George Stephanopoulos interview, we should recall what Trump did in 2016.
He asked Russia to hack his opponent: https://t.co/tR7EgweTDI
He promoted the stolen information: https://t.co/Mcg3C1JZL6
He covered for Russia: https://t.co/RrG1HYSBIO
#ImpeachmentInquiryNow
Yesterday Trump apologized to Kim Jong Un for the CIA spying on him. Today he tells George Stephanopoulos that he would accept hacked data on his opponents from foreign govs. It’s going to keep getting worse until congress stands up to him. @SpeakerPelosi#ImpeachmentInquiryNow
EXCLUSIVE: Pres. Trump tells @GStephanopoulos he wouldn't necessarily alert the FBI if approached by foreign figures with information on his 2020 opponent: "It’s not an interference. They have information. I think I’d take it." https://t.co/yWRxMOaFqW
