  1. Happy Sunday. What’s the point of the impeachment power, if not to protect against a president who tries to use the massive power of his office to bribe a foreign power into helping his re-election?

  2. But it’s a “peace plan”. I mean, it’s in the TITLE. What gives?

    If John Bolton has something to say it needs to be said before Wednesday at 4pm when Republicans vote to acquit the President without conducting a trial.

    A Sanders administration will respectfully ask that she return to service, along with so many other skilled diplomats who have left in frustration at Trump and Pompeo’s incompetence and disrespect.

    "Alexander is saying, 'I believe that this corruption happened, I believe that the President bullied a foreign power into interfering in our elections, and I just don't care'... that scares me to death." on Sen. Alexander voting against impeachment witnesses.

  7. 7/ This is a CRAZY view of the world (I'm just explaining, not excusing), but I think it's important for everyone to see the prism through which many Rs (not all) view impeachment. For both D and R Senators, the trial is about threats to democracy. We just see different threats.

  8. 6/ Republicans don't love Trump, but they do believe that if they don't stand up to this deep state/media cabal RIGHT NOW, then they set a precedent that will allow this same conspiracy to take down every future Republican president.

  9. 5/ You see, many Republicans don't think any self respecting conservative would EVER work for government or the mainstream media, so all these people testifying and breaking stories MUST be Democrats, and they must have political agendas.

  10. 4/ For them, this trial is ALSO about evidence of the most serious threat to democracy - an anti-Trump whistleblower, working with secret Republican-hating Democratic civil servants, backed by the liberal media, attempting to take down a conservative, Republican president.

  11. 3/ Many (most?) Republicans, as shown in Sen. Alexander's statement, also think Trump is reckless and dangerous. But what you need to understand is that they think there exists a MUCH bigger threat to democracy than Trump - the deep state/media elite conspiracy.

  12. 2/ Democrats, like the majority of Americans, view Trump as a threat to democracy, and this trial put on evidence of the most serious example of this threat - his use of his official powers to destroy his political rivals and cheat in an election.

  13. 1/ For tonight's impeachment behind-the-scenes, something different: I want to tell you my theory about why Democrats and Republicans are on different planets during this trial. I want to tell you why we could only get 2 R votes today against a rigged trial. This is important.

  14. Filmed this a year ago, as I was heading abroad to advocate for the preservation of the Good Friday Agreement. While Brexit is still a raw deal for our natl. security, the EU, and the Western alliance, I'm encouraged that there are more protections in place for Northern Ireland.

  15. This seems important. Guiliani essentially saying the meeting Bolton describes - and Trump denies - happened. “I wouldn’t call it making it up.”

  16. Bolton's story is going to come out. Republicans can't stop that. Thus, the purpose of keeping his story hidden NOW is to make sure voters don't have the information in time to pressure their Senator on the impeachment vote. That's why this is a cover up.

    Undo
  17. It’s simple really. If the trial is rigged to keep hidden the most damming, most important, most relevant evidence, then it’s not a trial. Nor is it an acquittal. It’s a coverup. If this is what happens tomorrow, the Senate will be disgraced.

  18. 7/ I gave my first question of the away to a Senator who hadn't asked a good one yet, and then by the time I wrote a new one I liked (on the importance of Bolton's testimony), the clock had run out (I was the next question up at adjournment). But here it is in case you care:

  19. 6/ Manchin has chocolate milk! This is a big deal, because it suggests that the rules might allow things to be added to milk. I tell Manchin he should be really careful about the precedent he just set because there's a lot more powerful additives available than chocolate sauce.

  20. 5/ Let me just note, for all of you who still remember we have a Democratic presidential primary in four days, that all the Dem Senators who are running are getting along swimmingly. Lots of chatter between Amy, Elizabeth, Bernie and Michael during the breaks in action.
