"A confidential White House review of President Trump’s decision to place a hold on military aid to Ukraine has turned up hundreds of documents that reveal extensive efforts to generate an after-the-fact justification for the decision..."

My overwhelming conclusion after the last few weeks' hearings is that the @GOP - in its current incarnation - is a fundamental threat to our democracy. Thread:
Right now a guy who was born rich, dodged the draft, cheated on wives, had to pay a $2M fine for misuse of his foundation & a $25M settlement for FRAUD over his FAKE university is saying that decorated war vets w a lifetime of public service are lying and HE is telling the truth.
.@RepAdamSchiff has done a truly magnificent job this week. He is more than vindicating the confidence @SpeakerPelosi has shown in his leadership and is earning his place in American history.
Call me radical, but maybe instead of setting ablaze hundreds of millions of dollars on multiple plutocratic, long-shot, very-late presidential bids, we instead invest hundreds of millions into winning majorities of state legislatures across the United States?
Just a thought!
Records president has not released (a partial list):
--Tax records.
--Draft board records.
--Medical records.
--Passport application and records.
--College transcripts.
--Business records.
--Wife’s immigration records.
--White House visitor logs.
The most famous definition of "chutzpah" is when a man kills both his parents and begs the court for mercy because he's an orphan. Another is when Trump speaks at the opening of NYC's Veterans Day Parade just days after admitting he looted $3 million from a charity for veterans.
It’s Veterans Day, and it’s worth noting that our Commander-in-Chief claimed bone spurs to avoid the draft and illegally diverted $2.8mil raised for veterans at a charity fundraiser to his own campaign. Our armed forces and veterans deserve a real leader, not a cowardly crook.
The President of the United States has been fined $2 million for misusing his charity to further his business and political interests...and within 48hrs it’s barely news.
This is how far we’ve fallen.
Rep. Jim Jordan - who's been appointed to the House Intel Committee with impeachment hearings set to begin - is facing a new accusation that he ignored warnings about an OSU doctor, accused of sexually abusing nearly 200 men over two decades. My story for @NBCNightlyNews:
“The Senator who refuses to speak up against moral wrongs, who helps prop up a liar and who lacks the guts to stand for anything deserves to lose his job”

EVERY predator and their enablers must be held accountable, including elected officials. We deserve better. No wonder we lack fair and just laws and protections when rape culture is perpetuated by legislators & ppl in positions of power. #TimesUp#TakeOutTheTrash
Steven Menashi concocted a plan to illegally use the private Social Security data of defrauded student borrowers to deny them debt forgiveness after they were preyed upon by for-profit schools
This is someone Pres. Trump wants us to make a federal judge?
