The National Rifle Association (NRA) was powerful when Donald Trump was elected to office in 2016. It handed him $30 million but refused to divulge the source of this dramatically ballooned contribution, up significantly from the previous presidential elections. Yet, today the NRA has been infested with a big tapeworm of corruption and dwindled to a mere shadow of its former self. Still, Trump managed to disregard all of that.
The president had among his base gun-rights advocates, so he tried to stir the NRA’s cooling action into something hotter. He tweeted that his great enemy, the Democrats, were “working hard to” take “your 2nd Amendment rights,” and it will get worse:
‘The Democrat Party in the Great Commonwealth of Virginia are (sic) working hard to take away your 2nd Amendment rights. This is just the beginning. Don’t let it happen, VOTE REPUBLICAN in 2020!’
Then, the president easily confused the issue surrounding witnesses:
‘They didn’t want John Bolton and others in the House. They were in too much of a rush. Now they want them all in the Senate. Not supposed to be that way!’
Trump flew back at the Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), flinging a surprisingly childish taunt at “Cryin’ Chuck Schumer” as he passed:
‘Cryin’ Chuck Schumer is now asking for “fairness”, when he and the Democrat House members worked together to make sure I got ZERO fairness in the House. So, what else is new?’
Next, the president did not have the time to bother spelling out “Second Amendment or even 2nd Amendment:”

Finally after all of those tweets, POTUS remembered it was Martin Luther King Day. Yet, instead of writing a thoughtful couple of sentences, he just retweeted the White House message. It would have taken so little time. This could not be taken any other way but from a grudging, racist man:
‘”Today, we pause to honor the incredible life and accomplishments of Dr. King, who helped shape the Civil Rights Movement, gave hope to millions experiencing discrimination, and whose enduring memory inspires us to pursue a more just and equal society.” — President Trump’

bipartisanreport--2020-01-20--Obama Tweets MLK Day Message Like A True President

Barack Obama may no longer reside in the White House , but he ’ s still important for many Americans .
This Monday , he posted a public statement to Twitter calling on observers to examine the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. on the occasion of the holiday honoring the late civil rights leader .
He included a link to a famous letter that King wrote while in prison outlining his reasons for continuing in the struggle for civil rights .
Could anyone really imagine the current president making any similar public statement , or at least appearing to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ever stood up for that doesn ’ t have his name on it ?
Obama didn ’ t have to mention Trump by name for the message to feel like a poignant condemnation of him .
Moral clarity ?
Would Trump even know what that phrase means ?
This is a guy who , as president of the United States , spends hours and hours on end over and over concocting insults to sling at his opponents on Twitter .
His other hobbies include standing in front of crowds of his screaming fans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of whatever pops into his head at a given moment .
It ’ s even more laughably ridiculous to wonder if “ poetic brilliance ” is a phrase that could ever be applied to anything that has to do with Trump .
Ah yes , the poetic brilliance of all-caps tweets with denials of the crimes that he ’ s on record committing — how lovely !
( Not . )
As of about 11 A.M. on Monday morning , the only posts Trump had made on Twitter were belligerent tirades including petty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of MLK .
But did anyone really expect anything different ?

bipartisanreport--2020-01-20--Pompeo Tweets About MLK Day & Instantly Regrets It

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is still trying to depict himself as some kind of credible voice within the Trump administration , but his campaign to legitimize the belligerence from him and his colleagues is not working .
No matter how many tweets he posts , his destructive foreign policy and complicity in schemes like Trump ’ s attempt to bribe Ukraine remain .
This Monday , he posted a quote from Martin Luther King Jr. in honor of the holiday honoring the late civil rights leader , but the “ justice ” that King spoke of simply does not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump team , including Pompeo .
‘ Martin Luther King , Jr. said , “ True peace is not merely the absence of tension ; it is the presence of justice.
” We reflect on his legacy as we pursue justice for those who are denied fundamental freedoms , and as we seek true and lasting peace for all.
’ Is pursuing justice why the Trump administration has separated many immigrant families just to prove a point ?
That wasn ’ t Pompeo ’ s department , but it ’ s the administration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Is justice why , when confronted with the president ’ s threats to order airstrikes against civilian cultural sites in Iran , Pompeo refused to launch any kind of actually straightforward denunciation of those threatened war crimes ?
He largely just insisted that everything the Trump team did would be lawful .
He refused to explicitly say the president was wrong for threatening to commit war crimes .
The examples could go on .
Pompeo resorting to a quote from the late civil rights leader seems like nothing but a politically expedient @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s actual record .

Is pursuing justice why the Trump administration has separated many immigrant families just to prove a point? That wasn’t Pompeo’s department, but it’s the administration that he’s a part of.

He largely just insisted that everything the Trump team did would be lawful. He refused to explicitly say the president was wrong for threatening to commit war crimes.

bipartisanreport--2020-01-20--Melania Humiliated After MLK Day Message Goes Horribly Wrong

The Trump administration has consistently rolled back the rights for groups ranging from women to immigrants , but this Monday , First Lady Melania Trump wanted us to take her as a credible authority on Martin Luther King Jr. Day anyway .
Funnily enough , this public message from the First Lady of the United States on the occasion of this national holiday didn ’ t even feel very developed at all , as if halfway through the process she and/or her staff realized the hypocrisy .
There ’ s a very simple graphic and , in the caption , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ substance of what the late civil rights leader in question actually did .
And that ’ s it .
No message of freedom , no message of rights , and no mention of protecting marginalized communities made an appearance .
It ’ s fitting , since the Trump administration will be remembered not for the stock market gains Trump loves to tout that only benefit the rich but instead for their violent treatment of asylum seekers and other immigrants who are just trying to secure safety for themselves and their families .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ asylum seekers in gruesome conditions and simply refusing to allow them to come in at all .
So yeah — Melania might as well stay quiet about the ideals that are relevant to MLK Day , because she has not upheld them in the slightest .
But we ’ re not about to get an admission of that from her .
In one of her rare television interviews , she called herself “ the most bullied person on the world , ” which is just outlandishly egocentric .

Funnily enough, this public message from the First Lady of the United States on the occasion of this national holiday didn’t even feel very developed at all, as if halfway through the process she and/or her staff realized the hypocrisy. There’s a very simple graphic and, in the caption, no reference at all to the actual substance of what the late civil rights leader in question actually did.
Alongside a simple graphic reading, simply, “MLK Day,” Melania shared:

It’s fitting, since the Trump administration will be remembered not for the stock market gains Trump loves to tout that only benefit the rich but instead for their violent treatment of asylum seekers and other immigrants who are just trying to secure safety for themselves and their families. The Trump administration has alternated between caging these asylum seekers in gruesome conditions and simply refusing to allow them to come in at all.
So yeah — Melania might as well stay quiet about the ideals that are relevant to MLK Day, because she has not upheld them in the slightest. But we’re not about to get an admission of that from her.

The contrast between who the United States actually has in the White House and who it could have had became abundantly clear yet again this Monday .
Early Monday morning , former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton shared a post in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day , which she used as an opportunity to point to the importance of remembering to guard freedom in the United States .
She didn ’ t even have to mention President Donald Trump by name for the message to feel relevant to his administration — whether it ’ s women , immigrants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump has rolled back freedom in concrete ways while in office , all in service of political expedience .
Trump had not posted anything on Monday honoring the occasion when Clinton made her own statement .
Since Clinton left formal public office following her 2016 defeat , she ’ s been among those sounding an alarm about Trump , like she did during the presidential campaign .
She ’ s supported the impeachment proceedings against him and insisted that he ’ s completely out of place in the White House and knows it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to win that freedom for those concerned about the rollbacks of immigrant rights and similar developments under the Trump administration .
Donald ’ s up for re-election this November , and it ’ s not looking good for him — most polls measuring hypothetical general election match-ups have all leading Democratic presidential primary candidates beating him .
At this point , it ’ s a matter of building that Democratic support and then casting the votes .

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day this Monday , Republicans including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy ( Calif. ) have leaped into action attempting to claim the late civil rights leader ’ s ideals as their own .
In reality , their hypocrisy shines through clearly , considering the clearly demonstrable record of the current Republican presidential administration that includes rolling back basic rights for immigrants , Muslims , and plenty of other communities .
This Monday , McCarthy tried to post a Twitter message self-righteously lauding the “ common bonds ” that MLK spoke of — but literally the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Democrats have done nothing substantive in the last three years .
In other words , it ’ s all laughable hypocrisy .
‘ Declaration of Independence → “ We hold these truths to be self-evident , that all men are created equal.
” That is the American creed .
Martin Luther King Jr. invited all of us to rally around it and deepen our common bonds .
Let his life—and his legacy—inspire us now.
’ Literally just about twelve hours earlier , McCarthy posted a claim that for three years , Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ America ” while Democrats have been “ working overtime to defame the president.
” You couldn ’ t come up with a better demonstration of hypocrisy if you tried !
Is defense of America and these common bonds why McCarthy has refused to acknowledge the publicly available evidence implicating the president in a plot to bribe Ukraine into meddling in U.S. elections ?
Is it why McCarthy has refused to break with the president through all of his attacks on the independence of the judiciary , the intelligence community , immigrants , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Martin Luther King ’ s own daughter Bernice summed up the situation well when , days before Monday , she posted that observers should not quote her father on Monday and then “ suppress the vote and support systemic oppression on Tuesday.

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day this Monday, Republicans including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) have leaped into action attempting to claim the late civil rights leader’s ideals as their own. In reality, their hypocrisy shines through clearly, considering the clearly demonstrable record of the current Republican presidential administration that includes rolling back basic rights for immigrants, Muslims, and plenty of other communities. This Monday, McCarthy tried to post a Twitter message self-righteously lauding the “common bonds” that MLK spoke of — but literally the post right before that features him claiming that Democrats have done nothing substantive in the last three years. In other words, it’s all laughable hypocrisy.

bipartisanreport--2020-01-21--Kellyanne Conway Gets Publicly Embarrassed On MLK  Day

A day ahead of opening arguments in President Donald Trump ’ s impeachment trial beginning on Tuesday , his longtime adviser Kellyanne Conway dug into absolutely outlandish defenses for his behavior .
After a reporter asked her on Monday how the president planned to observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day , she replied with a belligerent tirade that included an assertion that the late civil rights leader himself would not support Trump ’ s impeachment .
During his life , King demonstrated extensively against authorities at multiple levels .
He did not push the kind of blind partisan loyalty that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to him .
In willful complete ignorance of the publicly available evidence that has emerged outlining the president ’ s plot to bribe Ukraine into punitively investigating the Bidens , Conway railed : ‘ I can tell you that the president… agrees with many of the things that Dr. Martin Luther King stood for… including unity and equality .
And he ’ s not the one trying to tear the country apart through an impeachment process and a lack of substance that really is very shameful at this point .
I ’ ve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ very long time , but when you see the articles of impeachment that came out , I don ’ t think it was within Dr. King ’ s vision to have Americans dragged through a process where the president is not going to be removed from office , is not being charged with bribery , extortion , high crimes or misdemeanors.
’ That ’ s completely ridiculous .
Trump stands for unity , she says ?
Is that why at rally after rally he dehumanizes his opponents and takes opportunities like a public @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claim that they ’ re mentally incapacitated ?
Is that why he refuses to acknowledge the evidence on record from the White House revealing how he tried to get Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden ?
Is that why he derides the press reporting on all of these issues as the “ enemy of the people , ” even as physical threats against these journalists pile up ?
Is that why he falsely and baselessly claims that immigrants are invading the U.S. and refuses to retract that claim even after it ’ s explicitly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Conway ’ s argument is outlandish on its face .
Donald Trump does not stand for unity and equality .
He stands for belittling whoever he feels like might give him a temporary boost politically with his core , rabid base — and Conway is willing to engage in whatever kind of desperation might be necessary to help that along , apparently .
A day ahead of the opening arguments beginning , House impeachment managers acknowledged the president ’ s side ’ s complete disconnection from the facts .
They wrote that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ cheat in elections , betray our national security , and ignore checks and balances , ” and added : Trump ’ s impeachment defense team has been gearing up to argue that even if abuse of power was proven , it wouldn ’ t be fitting to be impeached over — which is ridiculous .

A day ahead of the opening arguments beginning, House impeachment managers acknowledged the president’s side’s complete disconnection from the facts. They wrote that Trump abused his power in order to “cheat in elections, betray our national security, and ignore checks and balances,” and added:
‘That President Trump believes otherwise, and insists he is free to engage in such conduct again, only highlights the continuing threat he poses to the Nation if allowed to remain in office.’
Trump’s impeachment defense team has been gearing up to argue that even if abuse of power was proven, it wouldn’t be fitting to be impeached over — which is ridiculous.

The president has managed to rip accountability up, showing a blatant abuse of power, and nearly ruined the integrity of the office of commander-in-chief. He did this all in just the name of acquiring more power and more money.
According to POLITICO, POTUS merged Trump Inc. with his presidency. These two entities blended in:
‘A Chinese state-owned company deal with amultimillion contract to help develop a Trump golf course in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, amid a U.S.-China trade war. T-Mobile executives stayed at Trump’s Washington hotel while seeking a green light from the federal government for a merger. The IRS commissioner, who refused to release Trump’s tax returns to Congress, collects rent from a pair of Trump condos in Hawaii.’

House Oversight and Reform Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) said:
“President Trump is openly enriching himself by encouraging government entities to spend money at his businesses, and foreign entities appear to frequent his business to curry favor with this administration. President Trump must be held accountable for his blatant disregard for the Constitution.’
Ironically, an attorney for the Trump Organization Sheri Dillon commented in January 2017:
‘[Trump] wants there to be no doubt in the minds of the American public that he is completely isolating himself from his business interests.’
Chairwoman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee holding jurisdiction over the hotel Representatives Dina Titus (D-NV) has demanded documents about the hotel’s upcoming sale. She believed that the transaction was questionable and involved a foreign buyer.
‘I think this is one of those problems of his own making,” He said he was going to divest, and then he didn’t divest, and then he put it in his children’s name and he’s kept on doing business.’

Opening arguments in President Donald Trump’s Senate impeachment trial are set to begin on Tuesday, and the day before, Trump dug further into his untethered from reality antagonism of all those who dare to oppose him. He claimed that House investigators hadn’t even called his former national security adviser John Bolton to testify, which in his argument, means they failed to do their due diligence and are inappropriately muddling the Senate by seeking his testimony there. But in reality, as House Intelligence Committee chairman and impeachment case manager Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) pointed out — investigators did try and have Bolton testify, and Trump blocked it.
In direct response to the president, Schiff posted the statement on Twitter:
‘No, Mr. President, we did ask John Bolton to testify. You ordered him not to, and blocked others, like Mick Mulvaney. All Americans know what a fair trial includes documents and witnesses. What are you hiding?’
Well — if the evidence that’s emerged so far is any indication, he’s hiding even more incrimination in the already publicly outlined scheme to bribe Ukraine into investigating his domestic political opponents like the Bidens.

In willful complete ignorance of the actual reality of the situation, Trump had tweeted:
‘They didn’t want John Bolton and others in the House. They were in too much of a rush. Now they want them all in the Senate. Not supposed to be that way!’
Again — he’s just making stuff up here. It’s like he’s throwing things at the wall to see what might stick. Even if Democrats in the House had never even uttered Bolton’s name once, every single impeachment trial that the Senate has ever held up to this point has featured witness testimony. And the testimony that Democrats are presently after is crucial, too — Bolton, White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, and others have firsthand knowledge of the president’s Ukraine bribery plot, and the president has blocked all of them from testifying.
Democrats aren’t the ones meddling with the system — Donald Trump is, and so far, it’s unclear whether enough Republican Senators are willing to break from the party line and support calling witnesses in the Senate. At least a few of them are crucial to get a majority.

Although the stakes for the 2020 general election are monumentally high and support for the eventual Democratic presidential nominee is crucial to getting Trump out of office , Hillary Clinton was revealed this week to harbor such animosity towards Bernie Sanders that she wouldn ’ t even commit to supporting him if he won the Democratic Party ’ s presidential nomination .
During the same remarks , she claimed that “ nobody likes ” Sanders and “ nobody wants to work with him.
” In response to Clinton ’ s broadside , the hashtag “ # ILikeBernie ” promptly trended @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the Senator and candidate — who is , according to polls like a recent Morning Consult survey , quite literally the most popular Senator in the United States , no matter what Hillary says .
And he has a good chance of winning the Democratic presidential nomination .
Votes will soon be tallied in Iowa as a kickoff for the state primary season ’ s home stretch , and he ’ s on average in a very close second place in polls .
And nationally , he ’ s also in second @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Vice President Joe Biden ’ s lead grows to eight percent .
But Sanders has incredibly large grassroots support from working people around the U.S .
The professions donating to him the most include teachers , construction workers , and similar hands-on workers , and the relevance of his resounding 2016 victory in working class areas shouldn ’ t be missed either .
Another Twitter user added , pointing out his record : As for Sanders himself , he ’ s taken the mockery from Clinton in stride .

She waited until the last moment to let people know how she would vote. Finally, when all the votes were in except hers, she voted to allow the alleged sex molester to walk onto the Court. An expert on women’s trauma and the actual victim provided a decisive account but to no avail.
Tuesday Planned Parenthood endorsed Collins’ Democratic challenger Speaker of the Maine House of Representatives Sara Gideon. This comment came with the endorsement, that the senator had “turned her back [on women.],” according to ABC News:
‘There’s never been a more important time to stand up for reproductive rights [against] systematic attacks on reproductive rights across the country.’
Even in 2017, Collins received accolades from Planned Parenthood as “an outspoken champion for women’s health.” This will be the roughest reelection in her tenure as seenator.
Acting Planned Parenthood President and CEO Alexis McGill Johnson said this about Collins:
‘From her decisive vote to confirm Kavanaugh to her refusal to stop Republican attacks on our health and rights, it’s clear that she has turned her back on those she should be championing. [Collins] has abandoned not only the people of Maine, but women across the country.’
When she was Planned Parenthood Federation of America President, and about a year before the Kavanaugh vote, Cecile Richards said:
‘Senator Collins has been an outspoken champion for women’s health. Thanks to Senator Collins’ steadfast commitment to her constituents, tens of thousands of women in Maine and millions of women across the country still have access to essential health care.’
Planned Parenthood Maine Action Fund’s Nicole Clegg said:
‘As a former Planned Parenthood patient, she knows what it means to be able to get the care you need from a trusted provider and how hurtful it is to see your provider attacked by extremist politicians.’
This was not Planned Parenthood’s only endorsement just one day prior to the important ruling: Roe v. Wade, which made abortion legal. It endorsed Democrat Jaime Harrison, who has been running against Donald Trump’s sidekick Republican Senator Lindsey Graham in South Carolina. The organization also endorsed Kansas’s Senator Democrat Dr. Barbara Bollier. She will be running for an open U.S. Senate seat.

‘He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician. It’s all just baloney, and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it.’
When asked by the magazine whether she would vote for Sanders if he was the candidate, she responded:
‘I’m not going to go there yet. We’re still in a very vigorous primary season.’
Many Clinton supporters have blamed him for her 2016 presidential loss. Yet, there were two other important variables.

As Sanders worked the 2020 campaign journal, the senator has commented over and over that he would vote for anyone who won the Democratic spot. Of course, he admitted that he hoped it would be him.
Tuesday, Bennett asked Sanders why Clinton was still talking about him after four years. He answered:
‘That’s a good question. You should ask her.’
Then on the impeachment trial, Sanders said:
‘My focus today is on a monumental moment in American history: the impeachment trial of Donald Trump. Together, we are going to go forward and defeat the most dangerous president in American history.’
The senator has raised funds heads and shoulders above the other candidates unless they were using their own money. In addition, he has come in with a very close second to former Vice President Joe Biden.

There is one real point behind Mitch McConnell ( R-KY ) announcing he would work with the president on his impeachment trial .
Do Americans want Russia to elect Donald Trump again ?
It is almost beyond comprehension that the man nicknamed “ Moscow Mitch ’ and Trump are working together to throw the election to him , to give him absolutely no limits , to destroy our democracy .

History will write the answer: A coverup.
Secretary Hillary Clinton had strong words against McConnell’s proposed rules. She was extremely close to the last impeachment trial, given that President Bill Clinton is her husband. She, too, called McConnell’s rules a “cover-up (sic):”
‘The rules Sen. McConnell has proposed for the president’s impeachment trial are the equivalent of a head juror colluding with the defendant to cover up a crime. Call your senators and urge them to push for witnesses and evidence, not a cover-up:’

Then, Pelosi called McConnell on the carpet when he tried to “hide the truth:”

bipartisanreport--2020-01-22--Giuliani Wages Desperate Televised Attack On Lev Parnas

Personal Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani was snubbed in the development of the president ’ s defense team for his impeachment trial that ’ s getting underway this week , but he ’ s still keeping himself in the spotlight anyway .
During a Monday night interview on Fox News with Laura Ingraham , Giuliani lashed out at his former associate Lev Parnas , who has essentially flipped against Giuliani , Trump himself , and others after getting hit with a federal campaign finance law violation case .
Giuliani claims that he was “ misled ” by Parnas and that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about their work together — but the thing is , Parnas has evidence !
He ’ s not just doing interviews ; he turned large troves of material over to Congressional investigators .
Giuliani tried to ignore that inconvenient part , it seems .
He told Ingraham : ‘ Lev is someone… I was close to .
Obviously , I was misled by him .
I feel very bad .
I ’ m not going to respond to him for each and every one of the misrepresentations he ’ s made , because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ m called as a witness , I ’ m prepared to do it .
In fact , I wouldn ’ t mind being called as a witness for a lot of reasons , including being able to reveal the unbelievable amount of corruption that went on between the Democratic Party and the Ukraine all throughout the Obama administration.
’ After all this time , Giuliani is still refusing to give up on the idea of “ unbelievable ” corruption that he and he almost completely alone is the valiant revealer of .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ — you ’ ve had your shot , and you fumbled , big time !
Parnas ’ s claims have centered on supporting the idea that in fact , Giuliani ’ s anti-corruption crusade was meant as a foreign-helped political hit job on Trump ’ s opponents .
As Parnas put it to MSNBC host Rachel Maddow , discussing what they were trying to get Ukraine to do : It ’ s not hard to see this , considering the president and his allies have claimed that they were just concerned about corruption @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump mentioned in a July phone conversation with Ukraine ’ s president involved Democrats .
There ’ s no evidence for this kind of legitimacy that Giuliani and others are desperately trying to ascribe to their attempt to get Ukraine to open an investigation into this baselessly supposed corruption .

Personal Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani was snubbed in the development of the president’s defense team for his impeachment trial that’s getting underway this week, but he’s still keeping himself in the spotlight anyway. During a Monday night interview on Fox News with Laura Ingraham, Giuliani lashed out at his former associate Lev Parnas, who has essentially flipped against Giuliani, Trump himself, and others after getting hit with a federal campaign finance law violation case. Giuliani claims that he was “misled” by Parnas and that the former ally made many “misrepresentations” about their work together — but the thing is, Parnas has evidence!

Watch:
After all this time, Giuliani is still refusing to give up on the idea of “unbelievable” corruption that he and he almost completely alone is the valiant revealer of. It’s not there, Rudy — you’ve had your shot, and you fumbled, big time!
Parnas’s claims have centered on supporting the idea that in fact, Giuliani’s anti-corruption crusade was meant as a foreign-helped political hit job on Trump’s opponents.
As Parnas put it to MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, discussing what they were trying to get Ukraine to do:
‘It wasn’t supposed to be a corruption announcement, it was to be about Joe Biden and Hunter Biden and Burisma.’
It’s not hard to see this, considering the president and his allies have claimed that they were just concerned about corruption, but the only supposed corruption that Trump mentioned in a July phone conversation with Ukraine’s president involved Democrats. There’s no evidence for this kind of legitimacy that Giuliani and others are desperately trying to ascribe to their attempt to get Ukraine to open an investigation into this baselessly supposed corruption. There’s just the glaring portrait of President Trump trying to use his power to get back at those who he has a grudge against.
Giuliani has already felt plenty of heat from this. Reportedly, he’s even been placed under federal investigation for his foreign work, which could have violated federal prohibitions against secret foreign lobbying in the United States. Parnas revealed a letter in which Giuliani asserted that he was acting with the “knowledge and consent” of the president while pushing for those investigations into Ukraine, so Giuliani has dragged the president further into this scandal too.
That evidence has also implicated figures like top House Republican and Trump defender Devin Nunes, who had a top staffer in repeated contact with Parnas and, more rarely, personally spoke with him.

As President Donald Trump ’ s impeachment trial gets underway this week in the Senate , a majority of Americans seem to trust the case that investigators have built against the president .
According to a new NPR/Marist poll , a full 51 percent of Americans believe that Trump “ encourages election interference , ” which is exactly what he ’ s accused of in the impeachment proceedings .
He got caught trying to bribe Ukraine into investigating the Bidens , which is even more direct participation in the same kind of foreign interference in U.S. elections that Russia led @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The numbers mirror a new CNN/SSRS poll released this week , which stated that 51 percent of Americans believe that the Senate should remove Trump from office in the impeachment trial .
There ’ s no indication that removal is an even somewhat viable possibility thanks to the Republican majority in the Senate , but if majorities — however slim — are against the president , his re-election chances don ’ t look good .
A full 88 percent of Democrats and 51 percent of independents in that NPR poll agreed that Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ New York independent Dimitri Laddis , gave the outlet his grim perspective , explaining : ‘ I considered the attack on our electoral system to be the single biggest assault on United States sovereignty since Pearl Harbor .
The fact that the commander in chief has done nothing to reassure us that we are safe from such an attack — and the fact that he seems to be keenly aware that he benefits from outside forces having influence over our elections — is very disheartening.
’ In the NPR poll , a full @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ has not done very much or has done nothing at all to make sure there will be no future election interference.

That is an outlandish, baseless claim.
But now, the president will be facing at least some accountability for his behavior via this impeachment trial. Democrats have been pushing to hear from witnesses so that the president and his supporters can’t escape the evidence.
