        I'm not sure why we care about Hope Hick's legal opinions. I mean, that's like asking Trump to expound on the principles of good governance.

        I asked the White House for comment. They gave it. You needn't give it any credence bc it's not necessary to my conclusions.

        @LouiseMensch & @TrueFactsStated were right about grand juries & subpoenas. They're right to say that SCOTUS marshal can deliver messages.

        They were also right when they said a recording exists that has Ryan on tape, admitting Russian money was being funneled into the @GOP.

        CRS report says in b/w it's initiated. In everyday language why would we say it started w/ resolution & not, say, research/drafting of it?1/

        Normally we'd say it's semantics/no big deal, but we don't know how Supremes interpret it if it comes down to it /2

        The report is just describing how impeachments happened in the past. In the future, we might say that Trump's started with X precursor. /1

        But it's not something that could be assessed until an impeachment actually happens. /2x

        It's more like saying "what brought the impeachable matter to the attention of Congress?"

        Could well be semantics except if SCt ruled it affected Pres power to pardon. That's what this is all about. And it carries a certain logic

        But AFAICT, Louise Mensch is the origin of that interpretation, and see no mechanism by which that would change in secret.

        There is no "abatement" of the pardon power due to pending impeachment. Limited Qs about pardon power apply regardless of circumstance.
