      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.

          In that case, Marshal of SCOTUS would be involved. But I don't blame skeptics on this one /2

          For context, there were engineers who fed 9/11 trutherism. Not saying its the same, but a couple random lawyers on Twitter are iffy.
