A Trump campaign official just RTed a tweet containing the name of the alleged whistleblower.


Remember: President Trump’s lawyers said you must have additional eyewitnesses but you’re not allowed to have them. The hypocrisy of Mr. Sekulow’s argument was not lost on senators. If anything, Mr. Sekulow's case made the case for witnesses and documents even stronger.


Again @AlanDersh makes stuff up. He just said “incapacity” cannot be grounds for impeachment. Yet Judge John Pickering was impeached and convicted for incapacity caused by senility, called at the time two centuries ago “insanity.” No crime charged, either, just incapacity.


Q: You refused to answer the question on political bias. Are the House managers refusing to tell the Senate whether the so-called whistleblower had an actual conflict of interest?


Dershowitz is now indicting the entire academic legal community of the United States, and Larry Tribe in particular, in the well of the Senate.


Here's the ugly truth at the core of all of this: the president actually can do whatever he wants - rob, cheat, steal, murder - if he can hold 34 senate votes.


Philbin (Trump attorney) basically confirmed Trump first became concerned about "Burisma" amid Biden's expected presidential run in early 2019. **There's no evidence Trump raised it before then and Philbin did NOT dispute this**


That answer from Dershowitz was amateur Debate 101 sophistry. "I define maladministration to mean abuse of power, and since you can't impeach for one, by definition you can't impeach the other." That would lose you a match even my old Connecticut Valley high school league.


It's been 10 years since Citizens United. 10 years of Super PACs. 10 years of corporations speaking louder than people. We need to end this system. Thank you @professorcostas, @ClementsJeff, Cheryl Clyburn-Crawford, Joyce Sanchez, and the Citizens Commission for your work.

The fact that President Trump and his legal team do not understand why it violates the Constitution for the president to solicit aid from a foreign power for personal gain does not immunize him from impeachment and removal.


The LA Times misunderstood what I said today. Before the trial I said I'd keep an open mind. Now that both sides made their cases, it’s clear the president’s actions were wrong. He withheld vital foreign assistance for personal political gain. That can’t be allowed to stand.


Trump was impeached for risking national security to try and smear Joe Biden. He tried to force an ally, who is at war, to announce bogus investigations into Joe's son. Then the GOP smears Joe during Trump's trial. How does this make sense?

Just had a source tell me that GOP Senator offices are being overwhelmed with calls demanding that witness be produced for testimony at Trump’s removal trial. The calls are working. Keep dialing, Patriots.
