Trump fires intelligence community watchdog who defied him on whistleblower complaint
https://www.politico.com/amp/news/2020/04/03/trump-fires-intelligence-community-inspector-general-164287
| Quote: |
“In the midst of a national emergency, it is unconscionable that the president is once again attempting to undermine the integrity of the intelligence community by firing yet another intelligence official simply for doing his job,” Warner said in a statement.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) described the firing as “retribution” coming in the “dead of night” and called it “yet another blatant attempt by the president to gut the independence of the intelligence community and retaliate against those who dare to expose presidential wrongdoing.”

Why is this level of abuse of power even allowed? |
Because Republicans.

Trump owes tens of millions to the Bank of China — and the loan is due soon
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/24/trump-biden-china-debt-205475
| Quote: |
Donald Trump is warning “China will own the United States” if Joe Biden is elected president.
But Trump himself is tens of millions of dollars in debt to China: In 2012, his real estate partner refinanced one of Trump’s most prized New York buildings for almost $1 billion. The debt includes $211 million from the state-owned Bank of China — its first loan of this kind in the U.S. — which matures in the middle of what could be Trump’s second term, financial records show.

| I don’t know if it’s too late to get the band back together for another vote but Trump has announced he’s taking hydroxychloroquine.

Dems request that Trump testify under oath at impeachment trial!
| Quote: |
Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., a former constitutional law professor leading Democrats' case, wrote in a letter to Trump his response to the article of impeachment had "denied many factual allegations," and therefore Democrats requested Trump testify as early as next Monday and no later than next Thursday.
"If you decline this invitation, we reserve any and all rights, including the right to establish at trial that your refusal to testify supports a strong adverse inference regarding your actions (and inaction) on January 6, 2021," Raskin wrote. |

| Trump under oath would put him in a very precarious position.

| Trump wanted to testify at his first impeachment trial. His lawyer disagreed but allowed Trump to take questions from him that he could expect to get. He ended up cutting the exercise short and telling Trump he wouldn't let him testify and there was some quote of him telling Trump what I remember as "you're damaged". Maybe that is a term lawyers will typically use with regard to clients testifying. Maybe not.

| The senate won't convict him. It doesn't matter if he testifies. It doesn't matter what evidence is presented. They will never get 17 Republican senators to vote for conviction.
