So witness tampering is illegal, right? Did that change recently?
UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Agreed. It isn't a time that I am familiar with.
I actually think postponing due to Trump's threats is a far smarter move. Cohen's attorney's had already been saying that this testimony was going to be very frustrating for the public because Cohen went in & signed an agreement to not put out knowledge while Mueller's investigation is ongoing.
By delaying the testimony due to threats from the president & directly attributing the delay to that fact, Cohen gets to stick it in Trump's eye in a legal sense with witness tampering, and then gets to come back later & testify after Mueller's submitted his report.

Yep, and note in the statement he says he volunteered to go before congress, and he's not stopping cooperation with Mueller. They'll try to say this whole congressional appearance was a baiting tactic, but it won't work.
I think we'll be hearing from Guiliani soon because he can't let that Cohen statement sit without challenge.
Also the foster program stuff is nauseating. Hope that can be challenged.

even if you couch in that context, working across the aisle on bipartisan legislation is still completely different from literally stumping for a Republican in an election year. I really don't think he has internalized it at all. I think, like Hillary, he would try to separate Trump from other 'normal' Republicans in his campaign.
Rounds up. They'd need 67 to override a veto.
Although isn't Paul currently out of commission? IIRC it's 2/3rds of those present, so if he wasn't there for the vote they'd just need 66.
You know what's funny? If Trump said he travelled in time to the future and saw everything was good, his supporters will believe him.

"Don Moroni sends his regards."
Inmates can testify in Court, so it shouldn't be a problem to cart him to the Hill and back.
Wouldn't Mueller be able to use this to help build a witness tampering case or something?
That would be a sight to behold.
I think they'll put up the invitation for a vote and it will fail. Thus, he'll be uninvited.
partisan hackery aside, Maduro is a piece of garbage that really needs to go.
Regardless if Maduro is far-Left, he's a dictator who really fucked up Venezuela hard and has to go.
So many shop owners, grocery store owners were ran out of the country by this nut job.
Many EU countries are going to follow forth with the same declaration
He gets impeached and the GOP can look like shit backing clear witness intimidation when they won't bring charges in the Senate.
Yeah no doubt, I'd include myself in the shitposting mention. Genuinely curious what the current state is, all news basically points to a civil war at this point.
SO he gets impeached. Is still President. The GOP continue to be shit. So nothing changes.
One of the massive problems with seizing the means of production- the people who seize them often don't actually understand how they work!
Well nothing happens either way apparently, so might as well ATTEMPT to keep him in check.
I'd rather wait for the Mueller report. Lay EVERYTHING out there. We know damn well we'll only get one shot at this impeachment thing so let it be potent.
lots of Portuguese descendant Venezuelans from the Islands of Madeira had mom & pop fruit stores, bakeries, butcher shops in Venezuela.
Most forced to flee back to Madeira because of Maduro's policies towards shop owners.
Most are 2nd or 3rd generation
I'm just afraid that the report is going to drop AFTER his first term. If the GOP handwaves witness intimidation, they'll easily handwave everything in the report.
So is Pelosi going to block the SOTU from happening? I'm unclear what her actual powers are in that regard.
That's gonna get you corruption and such but it's not really directly leading to "take over the industries, gut them, spend the money you should have spent on maintaining them on social benefits, watch revenue collapse" cycle we saw play out in Venezuela
She can shutter the House floor. Trump is simply refusing to take no for an answer.
Can't say I'm particularly upset, fuck Maduro. The entire country's in a pit anyways.
Pretty clear cut witness intimidation. No way around this. Forget Mueller, start trying to impeach him for this. Would love to see the GOP even try to defend this behavior, and how that would play out for them.
Uhh... Threats from Trump?
Certainly sounds illegal to me. But I'm no lawyer.
TOMORROW TODAY
HERE NOW NEWS
the coup is coming from inside the shitpost
Congress needs to pass a joint resolution to formally schedule a SOTU. This hasn't happened yet and Pelosi won't let it happen if the shutdown continues.
Also, Trump might rage on Twitter and send out mean letters, but he's not going to show up uninvited on the 29th to try and give the SOTU; he's too much of a coward for that.
