    Republican Senators know — he did it — it’s impeachable — they’d have impeached Obama for it — Trump will do it again — the republic is threatened And don’t care.

  2. In November 2017, I proposed this legislative reform that would require all candidates to tell you a year before the election what they will divest. That idea never became law, but there's no reason -- and no excuse -- for candidates not to do that right now voluntarily.

  3. Again, this is not about any of the candidates. I will not endorse a candidate or recommend you vote against a candidate. I am advocating that you make demands on them now before the election narrows to only two choices and that the media ask harder questions about ethics.

  4. Maybe you think a candidate's lack of transparency and ethics be overlooked because he/she is a better person than Trump. But that theory works for only one presidency. Then, the next corrupt president can point to the precedent of 2 presidents from 2 parties with weak ethics.

  5. Even his cruelty serves the personal goal of solidifying a hold on his base. I don't doubt he subscribes to a racist, xenophobic worldview. But I suspect every decision is based on whether it'll build sufficient support to ensure that Senators have to let him pursue corrupt aims.

  6. I have to say, I'm disappointed in people who think ethics is a secondary issue. ALL the corruption comes from Trump putting his interest before those of the American people, from the Ukraine shakedown, to the Khashoggi cover-up, to handing allies over to Russian allies, etc.

  7. Saying a candidate's better than Trump is like saying John Gotti's better than Al Capone. With the republic jeopardized by corruption, it's not enough to be slightly more ethical than Trump. If the next president fails to restore ethical norms, corruption will become the norm.

  8. Again, not an endorsement. I'm not advocated for or against any candidate. I'm advocating for transparency to restore ethical norms and our expectations of candidates for high office. I hope they all choose to live up to this standard before the first state has picked a nominee.

  9. Has your candidate: -- disclosed all assets, -- told you what they will divest, -- released 10 years of full tax returns? If not, why don't they think you deserve this information? What are they hiding?

  10. I'm also very disappointed that the media seems hellbent on repeated one of its biggest mistakes of 2016 by not demanding answers from these candidates about what they own and what they will divest. Come on!

  11. I won't endorse a candidate or tell you not to vote for one. But I will criticize a decision to run for president without disclosing all your assets and announcing a plan for divestiture BEFORE voters in a state have to pick a candidate. What does that say about your ethics?

  12. corrupt President + sham Republican trial = illegitimate president

  13. In case you missed it today, Jared Kushner told Fareed Zakaria that "you’ve had a president who shows up every day at work" to blah, blah, blah.

  14. Lamar Alexander's position seems to be that Trump improperly withheld aid to pressure Ukraine to interfere in the election, but Trump's removal from office is unnecessary because his fate will be decided by the election he's trying to rig—and voters shouldn't hear the witnesses.

  15. Politico, May 10, 2019: "President Donald Trump told POLITICO on Friday that it would be “appropriate” for him to speak to Attorney General Bill Barr about launching an investigation into his potential 2020 rival, Joe Biden, or his son, Hunter."

    "Neither the doctrine of separation of powers nor the need for confidentiality of high-level communications, without more, can sustain an absolute, unqualified Presidential privilege of immunity..." U.S. Supreme Court, U.S. v. Nixon (1974)

  17. So great is the Trump administration's contempt for Congress that they have actually taken the position that a random member of the public who submits a FOIA request has a stronger right to the documents than Congress does (though not strong enough in this case, they claim).

  18. GAO has already found that the hold on Ukraine aid was unlawful, but DOJ argues that emails revealing the reason for that unlawful hold should be hidden from public view because it could chill the president's communications . . . with those he directs to commit unlawful acts?

    let the regime topple safeguards against abuses of power, watch the leader foment hate against vulnerable populations, well, when you live in a place like that, you have got to work hard to change things before the last reserves of legitimacy are drained, with all that entails.

    If you live in a place where they weight votes based on geography, raise obstacles to voting, let the rich and corporations buy politicians, let a leader use tax money to coerce a foreign power to attack elections, let the leader insult and undermine regions where he's unpopular,

    "Let the jury consider their verdict," the King said, for about the twentieth time that day. "No, no!" said the Queen. "Sentence first–verdict afterward." "Stuff and nonsense!" said Alice loudly. "The idea of having the sentence first!" And to top that, no witnesses or document.
