“The source added that Trump wants Bolton to be criminally investigated.”
Trump, now impeached for abusing the tools of national power, is preparing yet again to abuse the tools of national power—even before he’s acquitted?

Folks, @rgoodlaw is a full-blown American hero for all he’s done to educate the country about Trump, impeachment, & so much more through his @just_security leadership & work elsewhere.
He’s sitting at 99.8k followers.
Can we get him to 100k??

It's a true public service by @Susan_Hennessey & @benjaminwittes to write UNMAKING THE PRESIDENCY
They take seriously an often un-serious president & the serious changes he's wrought to the presidency--which may outlast him.
Read or (better!) listen to it!
Congrats Susan & Ben

Al-Qaeda seems responsible for the Pensacola attack.
A reminder that AQ—like ISIS—may be down but isn’t out.
That doesn’t mean the US should overreact.
It does mean “ending the forever war” must include doing counterterrorism responsibly & sustainably. nytimes.com/2020/02/02/wor…

The notion that Trump’s malevolence is somehow excused by his ignorance should’ve been retired long, long ago. twitter.com/atrupar/status…

- Why didn’t House act sooner? B/c Bolton poised to resist & litigation would’ve dragged on. But he’ll comply w/ Senate subpoena; no distinction from House
- What if many redactions? Senators can read in full
- Too last-minute? Better than Trump’s midnight FOIA dump yesterday!

Want to hear from Bolton ASAP?
- Today House Intel subpoenas him
- Mon. he testifies, in a SCIF if needed
- WH has 24 hrs to review transcript & redact if needed (w/ Dems threatening to read on House floor w/ speech-or-debate immunity if WH refuses)
- Tue. transcript released

First it was confirming a Supreme Court justice.
Now it’s impeaching a president.
What ELSE is on the list of things that the Senate purportedly can’t do in an election year??
I’m missing that part of the Constitution & would very much like to know. twitter.com/houseintel/sta…

A travel ban sold by Trump as temporary, limited, & emergency in nature has again shown itself to be indefinite, unlimited, & in response to no identifiable emergency.
The saddest part is that this was all obvious from the outset over 3 years ago. nytimes.com/2020/01/31/us/…

"We urge you to endorse voting in favor of calling witnesses and hearing evidence," writes Lev Parnas's lawyer to McConnell.
Says Parnas would be able to explain in detail "thousands of micro-steps he took" in connection w/ Trump's demand for Ukraine to investigate Biden & 2016

- Trump's Senate allies:
"The House should've sued to enforce subpoenas!"
- Trump's lawyers in court, when the House sued to enforce a subpoena:
"The House isn't allowed to sue to enforce subpoenas!"

It turns out that while the wheels of justice often turn slowly, the wheels of injustice sometimes turn INCREDIBLY QUICKLY.
(Like before even more damaging evidence can come out...)

In light of this massive development, w v serious allegations against Trump (and perhaps also against his lawyer at his trial Cippillone) from his former National Security Adviser, the Senate should take a serious pause and evaluate whether they really want to rush to judgment. twitter.com/peterbakernyt/…

Recall: Rudy's claim of attorney-client privilege has been based on his PERSONAL representation of Trump.
That's why Mulvaney always left the room.
But now @nytimes says Trump gave the order w/ Rudy, Mulvaney, Bolton & Cipollone all there.
There goes attorney-client privilege!

Sounds like QUITE a witness:
“More than 2 months before he asked Ukraine’s president to investigate his political opponents, Trump directed Bolton to help with his pressure campaign to extract damaging information on Democrats from Ukrainian officials.” nytimes.com/2020/01/31/us/…

The quid pro quo is ongoing
“Pompeo did not give Mr Zelensky one thing he has sought since last May...Pompeo’s message that Mr Trump was not ready to receive Mr Zelensky at the White House was a blow to the Ukrainian president’s national security efforts” nytimes.com/2020/01/31/wor…

Trump’s lawyers have held up Gouverneur Morris as the framer whose view most supports their view of what’s impeachable.
Just 1 problem: Morris changed his mind on impeachment.
A must-read by @GeorgetownLaw’s amazing dean, Bill Treanor, in @madebyhistory: washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/0…

Sen. Alexander: "The question then is not whether the president did it, but whether the United States Senate or the American people should decide what to do about what he did"
Constitution: "The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments"
So not really a question! twitter.com/SenAlexander/s…

Trump’s lawyers: The House should’ve gone to court!
Senator: Actually, the House went to court—let’s wait for the answer (again) after you guys lost & appealed, maybe?
Trump’s lawyers: We can’t wait for the courts! We might appeal again!
