The Trump administration is continuing to fail to convince observers that they ’ re doing anything other than perpetuating a corrupt spectacle .

The Trump administration is continuing to fail to convince observers that they’re doing anything other than perpetuating a corrupt spectacle. Now, eight prominent anti-human trafficking organizations have revealed that they’re skipping an Ivanka Trump-led White House event scheduled for this Friday that’s meant to commemorate a bill making human trafficking a felony. One of the organization’s spokespeople denounced the event as a “photo op” and some pointed out that in reality, the Trump administration has actually made life more difficult for some trafficking survivors thanks to their crackdown on the process for granting visas to such individuals.
As the Human Trafficking Legal Center’s Martina Vandenberg put it:
‘We have such a chasm between rhetoric and reality. I don’t think any of us have the desire to be a part of a photo op.’
One trafficking survivor added the following to The Washington Post, referencing the time that survivors are left in limbo while seeking approval for one of those visas for travel to the U.S.:
‘During that time, they are unable to work and unable to get medical care. We are talking about years where people are just stuck.’
There are other examples of the Trump administration’s documented lack of concern for the safety of vulnerable people. Outrage spread far and wide when they decided to punitively separate immigrant families seeking a safer life in the United States, and even after their policy of family separations stopped on paper, the conditions that those who have made it into the U.S. have faced thanks to the Trump administration have been brutal and sometimes deadly.
For example, last year, Border Patrol lied about the circumstances surrounding the death of 16-year-old Guatemalan migrant Carlos Gregorio Hernandez Vasquez. They claimed that an officer found the teen unresponsive during a check-up — but in reality, according to evidence obtained by ProPublica, Carlos was left to visibly struggle through his last hours without any apparent check-in for hours on end. And he was discovered by a cellmate, not an officer.
And Ivanka wants us to think that she’s serious about making better lives for people? Seriously? She’s been a part of the Trump administration the whole time.
She responded to scrutiny of her Friday event with a vague statement. She commented:
‘I am honored to stand with the president as we convene federal, state, local and tribal leaders, alongside survivors, employers and advocates to ensure that we see the end of the crisis of human trafficking once and for all.’
The thing is — while Ivanka makes a show of this, other organizations are on the front lines doing the actual work. That list includes Polaris, who runs the anti-trafficking hotline, and will also be skipping her White House event.
The president’s continued efforts to further drive marginalized communities into the shadows does not at all fit with the stated aims to improve the lives of these vulnerable people. In reality, he’s making circumstances more precarious for vulnerable people while Ivanka puts on shows like the Friday photo-op.

What an interesting time to be alive, experiencing only the third impeachment trial in history. The focus on Donald Trump has caused him to be at his worst now. But wait, should he be exonerated, then the country will be thrown into an even darker time than before.
POTUS went on full-attack mode as he went after his former National Security Adviser (NSA) John (the mustache) Bolton. The former NSA was the most conservative Republican until the right fell off the edge of their party and dropped into the fires of Trumpism.
Bolton has written a tell-all book about his 17-month experience in the Trump administration. The man who has served in four administrations gave a copy of his book to the White House as is normal procedure, checking for national security issues.
Someone there made copies of the manuscript and started leaking them in the midst of the commander-in-chief’s impeachment hearing. That shook the GOP-led Senate to its core. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) wanted a quick trial: no witnesses, no evidence.
He did not anticipate 75 percent of America wanting to see a real trial. Now, McConnell has found himself in a bind with Bolton volunteering to be a witness. At this point, the senator did not have a majority vote to shut down the trial.
The man ccasionally in the Oval Office was at his full Tumpist worst against one of the most conservative Republicans in decades. He hit the guy “who couldn’t get approved” as U.N. ambassador with a mid-trial tweet:
‘For a guy who couldn’t get approved for the Ambassador to the U.N. years ago, couldn’t get approved for anything since, “begged” me for a non Senate (sic) approved job, which I gave him despite many saying “Don’t do it, sir,” takes the job, mistakenly says “Libyan Model” on T.V., and..’
After that, the president tweeted that Bolton would have taken the country to “World War Six:”
‘….many more mistakes of judgement, gets fired because frankly, if I listened to him, we would be in World War Six by now, and goes out and IMMEDIATELY writes a nasty & untrue book. All Classified National Security. Who would do this?’
Next, Trump claimed Bolton was “very publicly terminated:”
‘Why didn’t John Bolton complain about this “nonsense” a long time ago, when he was very publicly terminated. He said, not that it matters, NOTHING!’
At this time, Trump sent out another Twitter bomb claiming the House Democrats had not done their job and were unfair. This, after the president ordered a halt to any witnesses and even one document:
‘Remember Republicans, the Democrats already had 17 witnesses, we were given NONE! Witnesses are up to the House, not up to the Senate. Don’t let the Dems play you!’
Twitter world went crazy over Trump’s attack on his former National Security Adviser John Bolton. Check them out below:

bipartisanreport--2020-01-29--Parnas Reveals Secret Ukraine Scheme Letter For Graham

As President Donald Trump ’ s Senate impeachment trial continues this week , the Daily Beast has revealed another startling new revelation from personal Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani ’ s associate Lev Parnas .
According to Parnas ’ s lawyer Joseph Bondy , in late 2018 , Giuliani personally delivered a letter to none other than top Trump ally and Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Lindsey Graham ( R-S.C. ) that called for sanctions on a laundry list of Ukrainian officials that it was at least partly in the Trump team ’ s corrupt self-interest to target .
In other words @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on about what a supposed sham the impeachment case is or whatever else — in reality , he ’ s seemingly been in on the scheme at the center since 2018 .
The Graham letter was delivered alongside a similar letter to then-Treasury Department official Sigal Mandelker , whose correspondence was signed by “ a Ukraine-born U.S. citizen named Michael Guralnik ” who ’ d supposedly served in the Soviet army for ten years .
He alleged that a list of Ukrainian figures that he named were embezzling U.S. military aid that had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ own benefit .
One of the figures singled out is , wait for it : Mykola Zlochevskiy , leader of the Burisma energy company where former Vice President Joe Biden ’ s son Hunter worked and that Republicans have harped on and on about for ages at this point .
The supposed embezzlement , according to the letters , was supposedly used to fund black market purchases of weapons from a Russian company under U.S. sanctions .
Besides Zlochevskiy , the letters also name Valeriya Gontareva , who led the National Bank of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ oversaw the Ukrainian government ’ s decision to seize control of a bank that belonged to oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky , ” in the Daily Beast ’ s description .
Kolomoisky was allegedly using that bank as a personal front , and in the wake of her work to bring the criminals to heel , Gontareva has faced death threats and dangerous stunts like her home burning down just late last year .
And Giuliani jumped on the bandwagon against her .
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington spokesperson Jordan Libowitz commented : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ speak to the veracity of these claims , it does seem to look more and more like Rudy Giuliani is incredibly deeply involved with some seriously shady business in Ukraine and we need more information , not only on his activities , but his activities and those of his associates on behalf of or benefiting Donald Trump .
As bad as these things look on their face , they ’ re so much worse if you consider the involvement of the president of the United States.
’ Soon after the sanctions letter stunt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scheming yet again .
The Daily Beast notes that shortly before the date on the Guralnik letter , “ Giuliani sent Graham a letter of his own asking his staff to help three unnamed Ukrainians get visas so they could come to the U.S. and share information about the Bidens.
” That effort was ultimately not successful , although it most certainly has not stopped Giuliani from rushing on in to trying to dig up more dirt on the Bidens anyway .

bipartisanreport--2020-01-30--Senate GOP Turn On Each Other Over Bolton Excerpts

Republicans have been trying to defend the man they most fear : Donald Trump .
Some of them verbalize this fear as not caring whether the president was guilty .
Others said that even if POTUS is guilty , they do not care .
One former Senate Republican was in the midst of excusing Trump when he went up in flames in a CNN interview .
Rick Santorum formerly represented Pennsylvania until he lost his 2007 election bid .
Perhaps , he thought that his idea of defending The Donald would gain him entrance back into that august body , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Santorum appeared with CNN ’ s Jake Tapper and Wolf Blitzer .
During the interview , he noted that John Bolton ’ s tell-all book due to be released in March did not matter .
Then , Santorum said that allegations against Trump were worthless , because “ Republicans don ’ t care.
” Why do they not care ?
CBS News provided a chilling scoop during the trial , that should the Republicans vote against Trump , POTUS said “ Your head will be on a pike : ” Bolton has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the White House as is a common procedure .
Trump ’ s people were supposed to look through it looking for national security issues .
Instead of returning the book so it could go to the publisher , someone copied it and leaked excerpts to The New York Times .
In his book , Bolton indicated that Trump told him about the quid pro quo .
The president would release the Ukrainians ’ approved $ 391 million in military aid for their hot Russian war .
But only in exchange for an announcement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President Joe Biden family .
Apparently , Trump believed that Biden was his top contender in the 2020 presidential election .
The commander-in-chief claimed that he “ never told John Bolton ” about the Ukrainian aid trade for investigating Biden and family , according to The Newsweek magazine : After that , Santorum said “ I tend to believe [ Bolton ] : ’ ‘ I tend to believe that the president probably said this to John Bolton .
And it goes back to the things we talk about all the time—the president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sides of the issues .
I hear it all the time here , “ Well , the president is so chaotic , he says things he doesn ’ t mean.
” And so it ’ s not surprising to me that he would maybe in a fit say something like this to John Bolton.

Bolton has sent one copy of his manuscript to the White House as is a common procedure. Trump’s people were supposed to look through it looking for national security issues. Instead of returning the book so it could go to the publisher, someone copied it and leaked excerpts to The New York Times.
In his book, Bolton indicated that Trump told him about the quid pro quo. The president would release the Ukrainians’ approved $391 million in military aid for their hot Russian war. But only in exchange for an announcement of an investigation into the former Vice President Joe Biden family. Apparently, Trump believed that Biden was his top contender in the 2020 presidential election.
The commander-in-chief claimed that he “never told John Bolton” about the Ukrainian aid trade for investigating Biden and family, according to The Newsweek magazine:
‘I NEVER told John Bolton that the aid to Ukraine was tied to investigations into Democrats, including the Bidens. In fact, he never complained about this at the time of his very public termination. If John Bolton said this, it was only to sell a book. With that being said, the…’
After that, Santorum said “I tend to believe [Bolton]:’
‘I tend to believe that the president probably said this to John Bolton. And it goes back to the things we talk about all the time—the president says lots of different things on both sides of the issues. I hear it all the time here, “Well, the president is so chaotic, he says things he doesn’t mean.” And so it’s not surprising to me that he would maybe in a fit say something like this to John Bolton.’
Then, the former senator said he thought Trump and his White House were free of guilt:
‘They didn’t do it. Ultimately the money was released and everything with the relationship with the Ukraine has actually been very positive for Ukraine under this president. And even if he did do it, Republicans don’t care.’
Santorum continued, noting that “there’s no smoking gun there” around Bolton’s book:
‘The steam is out of the kettle here. I think there’s likely to be a reading of this manuscript here. Everybody can feel comfortable. There’s no smoking gun there that hasn’t been talked about and then they’re going to vote [on witnesses testifying during the Senate impeachment trial].’

bipartisanreport--2020-01-30--Jim Jordan Flounders Over Bolton During Fox Appearance

A cascade of new revelations in the Ukraine scandal have majorly amplified the pressure to approve witness testimony for President Donald Trump ’ s Senate trial , and the president and some of his closest defenders are freaking out .
This week during an appearance on Fox News , Rep. Jim Jordan ( R-Ohio ) feverishly attempted to shoot down the relevancy of potential witness testimony , although if Senators approved calling Trump ’ s former national security adviser John Bolton , they could get a firsthand account of the circumstances surrounding Trump ’ s Ukraine scheme .
After all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ supposed need for closer witness testimony , Jordan ’ s now trying to convince observers that bringing in Bolton wouldn ’ t matter .
‘ One of the things that you really hammered home during the House side of this process was that all of this was hearsay… but now you have John Bolton saying that he was in the room , he knows the president ’ s thinking on this , the president has flatly denied it and said it isn ’ t true .
But how do you get past that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ’ s been confirmed that the White House itself has a copy of Bolton ’ s book and top Republican Senators like James Lankford ( Okla. ) and Lindsey Graham ( S.C. ) have insisted that they should get to see what ’ s inside , Jordan still tried to insist that the reporting about John Bolton ’ s own account is hearsay .
‘ Well here we have another example of hearsay !
We have someone telling The New York Times what John Bolton ’ s manuscript supposedly says , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ presses and we ’ re supposed to change everything and allow the Democrats to go from a 17-0 witness count to an 18-0 witness count ?
Again , it ’ s time to end this.
’ Jordan insisted that her observation — which flatly answers the issue raised in what he literally just said — supposedly doesn ’ t matter .
He commented : ‘ If John Bolton would come in , it wouldn ’ t change any of the underlying facts… Democrats can say we want this witness , we want that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 40 to 0 , we want it to be 100 to 0 — nothing will change the underlying facts , and I think the American people understand all that , and I think they want it to end.
’ He ’ s wrong .
An overwhelming majority of Americans believe that there should be witnesses in the Senate trial .
CNN released a poll just this week revealing that three-quarters of voters want witnesses .
Three out of four !
And that includes a full 49 percent of Republicans , which is almost @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ questions for the respective sides in the impeachment case began , and shortly after that , there ’ s set to be a vote on whether or not to hear from witnesses .
Bolton has already said that he ’ d be willing to testify in the trial if he was subpoenaed , and some “ moderate ” Republicans are seemingly indicating they ’ re in favor of summoning him .

A cascade of new revelations in the Ukraine scandal have majorly amplified the pressure to approve witness testimony for President Donald Trump’s Senate trial, and the president and some of his closest defenders are freaking out. This week during an appearance on Fox News, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) feverishly attempted to shoot down the relevancy of potential witness testimony, although if Senators approved calling Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton, they could get a firsthand account of the circumstances surrounding Trump’s Ukraine scheme. After all of his previous hotheaded rants about the supposed need for closer witness testimony, Jordan’s now trying to convince observers that bringing in Bolton wouldn’t matter.
Host Martha MacCallum asked Jordan:
‘One of the things that you really hammered home during the House side of this process was that all of this was hearsay… but now you have John Bolton saying that he was in the room, he knows the president’s thinking on this, the president has flatly denied it and said it isn’t true. But how do you get past that?’
Although at this point, it’s been confirmed that the White House itself has a copy of Bolton’s book and top Republican Senators like James Lankford (Okla.) and Lindsey Graham (S.C.) have insisted that they should get to see what’s inside, Jordan still tried to insist that the reporting about John Bolton’s own account is hearsay.
He ranted:
‘Well here we have another example of hearsay! We have someone telling The New York Times what John Bolton’s manuscript supposedly says, and we’re supposed to stop the presses and we’re supposed to change everything and allow the Democrats to go from a 17-0 witness count to an 18-0 witness count? Again, it’s time to end this.’
MacCallum shot back:
‘But that’s exactly the reason that a lot of the senators want John Bolton! Let’s bring him in the room and let’s find out the truth.’
Jordan insisted that her observation — which flatly answers the issue raised in what he literally just said — supposedly doesn’t matter. He commented:
‘If John Bolton would come in, it wouldn’t change any of the underlying facts… Democrats can say we want this witness, we want that witness, we want it to be 40 to 0, we want it to be 100 to 0 — nothing will change the underlying facts, and I think the American people understand all that, and I think they want it to end.’
Watch:
He’s wrong. An overwhelming majority of Americans believe that there should be witnesses in the Senate trial. CNN released a poll just this week revealing that three-quarters of voters want witnesses. Three out of four! And that includes a full 49 percent of Republicans, which is almost a majority.
On Wednesday, Senators’ questions for the respective sides in the impeachment case began, and shortly after that, there’s set to be a vote on whether or not to hear from witnesses. Bolton has already said that he’d be willing to testify in the trial if he was subpoenaed, and some “moderate” Republicans are seemingly indicating they’re in favor of summoning him.


bipartisanreport--2020-01-30--Collins Hits Trump Lawyers W/ Tough Question During Trial

This Wednesday , the Senate gathered to kick off questioning for House impeachment case managers and the president ’ s defense team , and as the afternoon proceeded , Republican Senators Susan Collins ( Maine ) and Lisa Murkowski ( Alaska ) banded together for a pointed question for the president ’ s side that attracted some attention and praise .
In short , they asked if President Donald Trump had ever pursued the supposed Biden corruption that he was supposedly so legitimately concerned about before former VP Joe Biden entered the 2020 presidential race .
And in short — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he had no evidence of the president expressing concern according to those parameters .
In other words , he effectively admitted that the timelines line up in a way to rather compellingly depict the president trying to bribe Ukraine into investigating the Bidens as a politically expedient scheme .
The bribery plot sits at the center of the impeachment proceedings , and the president ’ s defenders have rather wistfully claimed that Trump was simply altruistically concerned about corruption in general .
The question from Collins and Murkowski included : ‘ Thank you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I think it ’ s important at the outset to frame the answer by bearing in mind that I ’ m limited by what ’ s in the record , and what ’ s in the record is determined by what the House of Representatives sought .
It was their proceeding ; they were the ones who led it ; they were the ones who called the witnesses.
’ He oh so conveinently skips over the part of the story where his boss tried to enact a total lockdown on any and all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can ’ t block the investigation and then claim it wasn ’ t thorough enough and then expect us to take them seriously .
Eventually , Philbin got to the point .
He commented : Check out Twitter reactions below .

This Wednesday, the Senate gathered to kick off questioning for House impeachment case managers and the president’s defense team, and as the afternoon proceeded, Republican Senators Susan Collins (Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) banded together for a pointed question for the president’s side that attracted some attention and praise. In short, they asked if President Donald Trump had ever pursued the supposed Biden corruption that he was supposedly so legitimately concerned about before former VP Joe Biden entered the 2020 presidential race. And in short — White House lawyer Patrick Philbin answered that he had no evidence of the president expressing concern according to those parameters.
In other words, he effectively admitted that the timelines line up in a way to rather compellingly depict the president trying to bribe Ukraine into investigating the Bidens as a politically expedient scheme. The bribery plot sits at the center of the impeachment proceedings, and the president’s defenders have rather wistfully claimed that Trump was simply altruistically concerned about corruption in general.
The question from Collins and Murkowski included:
‘Before Joe Biden formally entered the 2020 presidential race in April 2019, did President Trump ever mention Joe or Hunter Biden in connection with corruption in Ukraine to former president Poroshenko, or other Ukrainian officials?’
And deputy White House counsel Patrick Philbin replied:
‘Thank you for that question. Of course, I think it’s important at the outset to frame the answer by bearing in mind that I’m limited by what’s in the record, and what’s in the record is determined by what the House of Representatives sought. It was their proceeding; they were the ones who led it; they were the ones who called the witnesses.’
He oh so conveinently skips over the part of the story where his boss tried to enact a total lockdown on any and all evidence getting to the House. They can’t block the investigation and then claim it wasn’t thorough enough and then expect us to take them seriously.
Eventually, Philbin got to the point. He commented:
‘There’s not something in the record on that. It wasn’t thoroughly pursued in the record. I can’t point to something in the record that shows President Trump at an earlier time mentioning something specifically related to Joe or Hunter Biden.’\

Check out Twitter reactions below. Collins and Murkowski are a couple of the Senators eyed as possible votes in favor of calling witnesses for the trial.
To my money, best question so far comes from GOP Sens Collins and Murkowski: Before Joe Biden started running for President, did Trump ever raise the issue of corruption and Biden to Ukraine's previous president or others?
White House counsel: I have nothing for you on that. — Susan Glasser (@sbg1) January 29, 2020
Did Trump ever bring up alleged Biden corruption with Poroshenko? Excellent question from Senator Collins. Of course not. If he had, Trump team would released documents on that long ago. — Michael McFaul (@McFaul) January 29, 2020
Possible GOP swing votes for witnesses Susan Collins and @lisamurkowski question boils it down: "What did the president say to whom & when" re raising concerns about Biden and his son Hunter. #ImpeachmentTrial — Lynn Sweet (@lynnsweet) January 29, 2020
Collins asks if there's any evidence that @realDonaldTrump wanted to investigate the Bidens before Joe Biden started beating him in the polls. Philbin has to admit, no. There's nothing in the record about that. — Elie Mystal (@ElieNYC) January 29, 2020
Very interesting question asked by Collins and Murkowski of all people….very interesting indeed. #ImpeachmentTrial — Wajahat Ali (@WajahatAli) January 29, 2020
The question from Collins and Murkowski suggests they might not entirely believe the WH team’s argument that Trump was interested in rooting out corruption in Ukraine when he asked for a Biden investigation, rather than seeking to investigate his political rivals. — Andrew Desiderio (@AndrewDesiderio) January 29, 2020
Philbin says, in response to Collins/Murkowski Q, that he can't point to anything in the record suggesting Trump raised concerns about the Bidens to anyone in his own administration or in Ukraine's before Biden entered the 2020 race. Interesting answer, interesting questioners. — Karoun Demirjian (@karoun) January 29, 2020

bipartisanreport--2020-01-30--Secret Trump Audio Tape Released During Thursday Impeachment Bombshell

Personal Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani ’ s former associate Lev Parnas insisted that he had more evidence where his previous drops came from , and he has delivered .
This Thursday , on the final day of the question-and-answer component of President Donald Trump ’ s ongoing impeachment trial , Parnas ( through his lawyer ) released a second tape that appears to show him interacting with the president , who ’ s claimed that he doesn ’ t know him .
Parnas was a key figure ( alongside Giuliani and fellow associate Igor Fruman ) in the quest to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ political opponents , which sits at the core of the impeachment proceedings .
The latest audio is from an April 2018 fundraising dinner , the Daily Beast explains .
That dinner also featured then-Texas Congressman Pete Sessions , who actually ended up figuring into the federal campaign finance law violations case brought against Parnas and Fruman .
The duo illegally donated more than allowed to Sessions while pressuring him to help get Marie Yovanovitch fired , who was serving as U.S .
Ambassador to Ukraine and was baselessly supposed to stand in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Trump opponents .
The new , second audio clip comes after an initial release that actually featured Parnas and Trump discussing Yovanovitch .
Confronted with allegations that she was badmouthing him overseas , Trump railed to those in attendance to “ take her out.
” Eventually , Trump did fire her , and she has since become one of the most high-profile witnesses in the impeachment proceedings .
During the trial portion of those proceedings this week , Parnas — who has completely flipped against his former associates — stopped by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cruz completely wrongly alleged that he tried to enter the gallery of the trial itself and was ejected because of the electronic ankle bracelet that he was wearing — but that simply did not happen .
Parnas ’ s lawyer Joseph Bondy has been advocating for a full airing of the case against the president at his trial , which , if basic principles of fairness are followed , will include witnesses .
As he put it in a message directed to Iowa ’ s Joni Ernst ( among others directed at other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her own headlines recently with her brazen attempt to depict Republicans ’ support of Trump ’ s conspiracy theories about his opponents as meant to depress their electoral chances .

Parnas’s lawyer Joseph Bondy has been advocating for a full airing of the case against the president at his trial, which, if basic principles of fairness are followed, will include witnesses.
As he put it in a message directed to Iowa’s Joni Ernst (among others directed at other Republican Senators):
‘As the vote looms near, we urge you to choose America over party, and people over politics. Real trials have witnesses.’
Ernst has made her own headlines recently with her brazen attempt to depict Republicans’ support of Trump’s conspiracy theories about his opponents as meant to depress their electoral chances.
She told reporters:
‘Iowa caucuses are this next Monday evening. And I’m really interested to see how this discussion today informs and influences the Iowa caucus voters, those Democratic caucus goers. Will they be supporting VP Biden at this point?’
Biden’s spokesperson Andrew Bates pointed out the implications of her remarks. He commented:
‘Senator Ernst just said the quiet part out loud. Republicans are terrified that Joe Biden will be the Democratic nominee.’
By and large, Republicans have adamantly refused to break with Trump no matter the ample evidence against him that has continued to accumulate as his trial has continued.

This week , the already controversial Trump impeachment defense team member Alan Dershowitz ( whose past clients include O.J .

Trump ’ s former general election competitor Hillary Clinton chimed in with harsh criticism for Dershowitz , pointing out how glaringly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is .
‘ Richard Nixon once made this argument : “ When the president does it , that means that it is not illegal.

During the question-and-answer period of the Senate trial on Wednesday , Dershowitz commented : That mirrors the repeated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ himself has explicitly made that Article 2 of the Constitution , which outlines the powers of the president , gives him the power to do whatever he wants .
That ’ s what he ’ s said multiple times — and it should go without saying that it is completely ridiculous .

Simpson and Jeffrey Epstein) delivered the outrageous argument that the president should be free to do essentially whatever he wants to use to try and advance his re-election chances. His argument was essentially that the ends justify the means — even when national security is at stake — and the escalation in defense tactics shocked many. Trump’s former general election competitor Hillary Clinton chimed in with harsh criticism for Dershowitz, pointing out how glaringly out of line that the idea really is.
On Twitter, she posted:
‘Richard Nixon once made this argument: “When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal.” He was forced to resign in disgrace. In America, no one is above the law.’

It is not an exaggeration to say that the president is trying to depict himself as above the law — it’s literally what he and his defenders are saying.
During the question-and-answer period of the Senate trial on Wednesday, Dershowitz commented:
‘If a president does something which he believes will help him get elected in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment.’
That mirrors the repeated and completely false argument that the president himself has explicitly made that Article 2 of the Constitution, which outlines the powers of the president, gives him the power to do whatever he wants. That’s what he’s said multiple times — and it should go without saying that it is completely ridiculous.
These are the kinds of outrageous power grabs that Senate Republicans have aligned themselves with via refusing to break with the president no matter the evidence that has implicated him in a scheme to bribe Ukraine into investigating his domestic political opponents. A vote on whether or not to hear from witnesses in the trial is soon upcoming, but thanks to those loyal Republicans, it’s unclear whether there will be enough Senators to secure that basic fair trial element.

bipartisanreport--2020-01-30--Pelosi Hands Trump His Ass During Thursday Press Conference

This week , President Donald Trump has faced the bulk of his impeachment trial in the Senate , where House impeachment case managers have made their case against him over his attempt to bribe Ukraine into investigating his opponents .
This Thursday , following days of trial arguments that also included the president ’ s defense team wheeling out outrageous arguments like that “ abuse of power ” is not enough to impeach a president , House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D-Calif. ) delivered a renewed defense of her side as flatly on the right side of history .
‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We believe that they have been magnificent custodians of the Constitution by dint of their content , their presentation , their historic perspectives , and their tone .
They have made us all proud… and they do so in the face of the president ’ s team that ’ s there to dismantle the Constitution of the United States , and some of them are even lawyers !

That ’ s what he said !
A direct quote !
It mirrors the complete lie of an argument that the president himself has used multiple times that Article 2 of the Constitution gives him the power to do whatever he wants .
Very soon , the impeachment trial will turn to a vote on whether or not to hear from witnesses , and the House @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Senators will have the courage and the ability to handle the truth instead of blocking the truth from themselves and from the American people.

Indeed — numerous voter suppression schemes across the country, including biased district lines that dilute marginalized communities’ votes, have had Republicans behind them.
Pelosi continued by also upending the administration’s complete lies that they’re defending the health care system like protection for pre-existing conditions.
‘Today, the administration will unveil its latest effort to take away America’s health care: its Medicaid block grant scheme… Yet again, having failed to repeal the law, the administration has decided to ignore the law with potentially devastating consequences for families and seniors that depend on a lifeline with Medicaid.’
Heading into the 2020 elections, the contrast is clear.

In this tweet, POTUS gave a preview of how this president’s vindictiveness. He said that the House Intelligence Committee Chair and impeachment lead Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) was “corrupt” and “mentally deranged.” Keep in mind that the president has been what he projected onto others. Then, he claimed that the representative “dreams of impeachment:”
‘“Schiff blasted for not focusing on California homeless.” @foxandfriends His District is in terrible shape. He is a corrupt pol who only dreams of the Impeachment Hoax. In my opinion he is mentally deranged!’
Republicans have finally reached a point where they admit POTUS committed the crime, but so what? Everybody does it.
The Senate will ask questions of the president’s defense team and the House managers (attorneys) on Thursday. The GOP intended to kill off any witnesses from appearing or documents from arriving, so the fate of the great American democracy will be decided by four Republican senators. They will show whether they have traded their good names for a ride on Trump’s cover-up train. Will they take the permanent ride or save the democracy from Trump’s tyrannical self.

Despite her complete lack of political experience, Ivanka Trump assumed a position in the White House as an adviser for her father President Donald Trump (who also had absolutely no experience), and now, together they’re doing… something. Ivanka has often been criticized for acting completely out of touch with everyday Americans, not to mention the normal job responsibilities of a presidential adviser. This Thursday, she took to Twitter to tout some poll numbers supposedly showing that Americans are happy with her dad’s administration, but she completely ignored the many other polls showing majorities that actively disapprove of her father, want witnesses in his ongoing Senate impeachment trial, and more.
She posted:
‘Double-digit improvements in how Americans view the nation’s economy, security from terrorism, military strength and the state of race relations since Trump entered office.’

We could see the frustration rise from the House managers ’ ( attorneys ” ) table like waves shimmering across the highway on a hot day .
Donald Trump ’ s star defense attorney stood up in the well of the Senate and exclaimed that POTUS can do whatever he wants .
The Senate took a collective sigh .
What will a dangerous , unleashed , vindictive Trump do ?
This historical trial will be bad for Republicans now and in the future as the point in time when America moved from a democracy to a dictatorship .
House Representative @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hearing Adam Schiff ( D-CA ) was an island of hope .
Even though he was punching through sand , he continually reminded people that the president can not “ do whatever I want : ” ‘ The pattern of his words and conduct is clear : President Trump thinks he is above the law .
He thinks he is the state .
‘ Trump said it himself : Under Article II I can do whatever I want .
‘ Precisely what our Founders feared .
Precisely why they drafted the remedy of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about his quest to obtain all the material Trump said he had but blocked from the trial .
The representative said senators “ can demand to see it : ” ‘ As Trump said , they “ have all the material.

But Senators don ’ t have to infer .
