    The framers "designed the impeachment power as a backstop to deal with 'high Crimes and Misdemeanors,' rejecting the argument that waiting for the next election to remove a dangerously illegitimate president would always suffice ..."

    My take on where we stand with impeachment and what must be done next: the time for talk has passed. Please retweet if you agree Congress must act — now.

    "Evil Jews." "When I think of al-Qaida, I can hold my chest out.” They "call our country and our people garbage.” "Anti-Semitic chants that they push forward" Every one of these quotes, attributed to and by Republicans, is a fabrication.

    This key point: Trump wants Americans fighting each other on the basis of race and religion -- the uglier the better -- while he and his friends rob the bank.

    Did we have special effects, soaring music and a laser light show? No. But the Committee today did establish that committed multiple acts of Obstruction of Justice. Those are felonies. We have a felon in the White House.

    The basic thing page 97 outlines is obstruction of justice b/c Trump tried to get Sessions to unrecuse&end Mueller investigation of Trump. There are 3 elements:obstructive act, criminal intent+ nexus to an official proceeding. effectively got Mueller to say each of 3 met
