The reason is that Judiciary typically focuses on LEGAL analysis and witnesses, while fact-finding and fact witnesses come earlier in the process. Any Judiciary Comt leader knows that, so ‘demanding fact witnesses’ at this stage is more of a dodge than a serious objection.

Most legal scholars disagree with Turley's claim impeachment should include a crime cause: -Constitution doesn't say that -Most criminal laws were passed years after the Constitution -Plenty of crimes are NOT impeachable (defacing a mail box is a felony, not abuse of power)

Within a matter of days, Trump admin witnesses are seeing the stark choices between: Roger Stone - obstruct, convicted Friday and now facing serious prison time; Giuliani - resist and facing a major SDNY probe; Gordon Sondland - cooperate and reveal who ordered you to do what.

For 4 days we’ve covered the Florida recounts, ballot inspections and verification process, and we didn’t know Broward’s entire recount would be tossed when they uploaded it 2 minutes late today because of a user computer error, but we probably should have seen that coming.

BREAKING: 25th Amendment doesn’t REMOVE a president; it only SIDELINES the president 21 days at a time. See pp 221-31 of our book. That could suffice, but it’s vital to be clear. @RuthMarcus @JRubinBlogger @chrislhayes @AriMelber @maddow @Lawrence https://t.co/ubRkSqiiVj.

Truth, @MSNBC. You lost me as a viewer when Maddow slobbered all over Bernie in the 2016 election cycle. Won me back when you got @AriMelber on board. But please. We can all see that Bernie is an easy "get"--but do stop "getting" him, wouldja?? He's a grifter & Putin operative. https://t.co/w5gAZcIa1o
