as is her commentator

Emptywheel is right as usual

This morning, Nancy Pelosi announced she’s asking Jerry Nadler and Adam Schiff to draw up articles of impeachment against Donald Trump.

Both reports on scheduling from members of HJC and Congress generally as well as reporting from CNN suggest Pelosi intends a very quick schedule for this process: articles drawn up this weekend, a vote in HJC next week, then a full vote before Christmas.

This is a mistake, in my opinion. I think Pelosi should bump this schedule out to early February. I say this not out of any fondness for delay, but because several things will or are likely to happen in the interim that would make impeachment more thorough.

Amen:

“The writing of the impeachment bill of particulars gives Congress the opportunity for a great, bold re-statement of the republican principles underlying the Constitution and a re-affirmation of the Founders’ clear belief in the primacy of Congress in the structure of the government. The House can use the articles of impeachment to proscribe conduct befitting the presidency and to make clear to this president and, more importantly, to all future presidents what conduct is unacceptable.

A long list may win more support in the House than a short one. Republicans and wavering Democrats may feel the Ukraine matter has sufficient ambiguities that they can resist supporting impeachment. If the House votes with the intention of limiting the actions of future presidents, however, a list of transgressions reaching back to the 2016 campaign would provide sufficient cover for even some of Trump’s most ardent supporters to vote for some of the articles. We won’t see 435 votes in favor of any article, but some might garner 300 or more votes, a strong statement of Congressional resolve.

An article that says, for example, “He has indiscreetly and without counsel or forethought, endangered the security of the nation by releasing secret information that reveals the sources and methods by which the United States conducts its clandestine foreign affairs” would be fairly easy for any independently-minded representative to support. There is no argument that Trump didn’t reveal secrets, only his assertion that because he’s the president he can. A yes vote on such an article says his action and his judgment are both unworthy of the presidency, and his “because I can” assertion is prima facie an abuse of power.

David Laufman, a former Justice Department official who was involved in the early stages of the Russia probe, said it was “fairly unorthodox for the attorney general personally to be flying around the world as a point person to further evidence-gathering for a specific Justice Department investigation,” and especially so in Barr’s case.

“Even if one questions, as a threshold matter, the propriety of conducting a re-investigation of the Justice Department’s own prior investigation of Russia’s interference, the appointment of John Durham — a seasoned, nonpartisan prosecutor — provided some reason to believe that it would be handled in a professional, nonpartisan manner,” Laufman said. “But if the attorney general is essentially running this investigation, that entire premise is out the window.”

Is Bill Barr Already Feeding Sidney Powell So-Called Evidence Trump Coerces?

Interesting-NM take is Dems should send 2 tranches of articles of impeachment to the Senate-1st articles on Ukraine but then later another tranche about his other impeachable offenses-obstruction, Russia collusion, his refusal to hand over taxes etc https://t.co/aGc9hc29ge

How Roger Stone’s Trial Relates to the Ukraine Scandal

8/ If Pelosi thinks this is going to be some "quickie," pro forma impeachment that's wrapped up in a few weeks and covers only {checks notes} *today's news*… in a presidency with more *wall-to-wall criming* than any in American history… I really think she's in for a surprise.

— Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) September 24, 2019

6/ There are 20+ Articles of Impeachment supported by the facts—and sorry, members of Congress, some of those high crimes and misdemeanors happened in the past. There's no "it happened more than 10 days ago" rule that prohibits properly impeaching a POTUS for *the things he did*.

— Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) September 24, 2019

4/ My point is that Democratic voters are going to have to be vigilant, because this is the only impeachment that's going to be allowed by Speaker Pelosi before the November 2020 election. If the House ignores impeachable offenses, those are gone forever as bases for impeachment.

— Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) September 24, 2019

1/ In interview after interview today, House members told interviewers that this impeachment inquiry is focused on Ukraine—on "the future"—and has "nothing to do with Mueller." I worry that Democratic voters are about to receive the biggest bait-and-switch in political history.

— Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) September 24, 2019

A WARNING to the DEMOCRATIC BASE: Everything we're hearing from Congress today makes this sound like a quick, focused impeachment that only considers Ukraine.

— Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) September 25, 2019

10/ Nearly all media attention on Pelosi in the coming days should emphasize this question: is she plotting a narrow impeachment that (a) still garners no GOP votes for conviction in the Senate, and (b) lets Trump off the hook for 90% of what he actually did that was impeachable?

Then in the next breath he calls for Bill Barr to investigate Kavanaugh for perjury. We aren’t calling to ‘impeach everybody’ just those who illegitimately gain their high Office.

I am glad to hear Nadler now says impeaching Trump is an imperative to vindicate the Constitution. Amen that’s why you do it not because #MoscowMitch will convict-of course he won’t.

But the idea you don’t have time to impeach both is a canard-the Dems hold plenty of hearings and pass lots of legislation every day-a few hearings where witnesses could testify about Kavanaugh would take no more time than a hearing about drug prices
