The way Kamala Harris is getting Chief Justice Roberts to read Trump's own incriminating words against him out loud by including them in her questions and discussing Lev Parnas is brilliant.
Witnesses a threat to national security?
Whistle blowers also a threat?
Perhaps democracy itself is a threat to national security.
It's time to get rid of @realDonaldTrump.

Hakeem Jeffries responds to Jay Sekulow who asked “why are we here?”:
“We are here, sir, because President Trump corruptly abused his power and then he tried to cover it up… That is why we are here Mr. Sekulow. And if you don’t know, now you know.”
President Trump has engaged in the trifecta of constitutional misconduct warranting removal.
He invited foreign interference, endangered our national security, and sought to cheat in the next election.
He is the Framers’ worst nightmare.

Since Trump was impeached:
1. OMB email: “Clear direction from POTUS to continue to hold.”
2. Bolton volunteers to testify if subpoenaed. (Lawyer has said he has new info.)
3. Parnas agrees to empty his phone/hand over docus/grants interviews.
4. GAO says Trump broke the law.
"In any other administration, Rudy Giuliani would be on his way to jail. In any other Department of Justice, Rudy Giuliani would be the target in this situation, not Lev Parnas. Who was Parnas working with? Rudy Giuliani" - @DavidJollyFL w/ @NicolleDWallace
"The McConnell rules announced tonight have the same basic theme, which is, How do we hide as much information as possible from the American people?" -Neal Katyal
Trump and McConnell can rig an acquittal but it will deny him exoneration in the eyes of those 69% who expect witnesses. And Sens who vote for hiding witnesses will be laughingstocks
It’s pretty ironic that McConnell is calling for a quick dismissal of impeachment so “Democrats don’t weaken the presidency.” I feel thoroughly gaslit. https://t.co/Lw1RgmUGZL
Amazing Lev Parnas interview on #Maddow. Also, I’m disclosing that the lawyer for @DevinNunes wrote a letter saying Rep Nunes will sue me if I didn’t apologize for saying last month that Nunes conspired with Parnas.
Devin, I’m adding to my statement: “Your pants are on fire.”
Lev Parnas just said he’s met with Devin Nunes at the Trump hotel multiple times. Says Nunes was in on Trump’s Ukraine scandal. Nunes should be in prison, not Congress.
The dude who sits in the cube in front of me eats grape-nuts for lunch and scrapes the bowl with his spoon while he crunches. It’s ok to strangle him, right?
The @maddow interview of Lev Parnas was staggering. His story hung together well. If true, what he said crushes any remaining Trump defense. It is also damning to VP Pence, AG Barr, Devin Nunes & Rudy Giuliani. And it makes inconceivable a decision not to subpoena Bolton.
The more I see of the Parnas trove of evidence as the tip of a vast new iceberg — one that includes Trump’s stalking and endangering his own Ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch — the less prepared I’d be to bet that Trump will survive the upcoming Senate trial.
