The photo was taken in Moscow in 1996, and the other man I circled is David Geovanis, a Moscow based American businessman. Trump's "fixer" in Moscow.
Witnesses said he could reveal details about Trump's activities in Russia going back decades.
.@RepJerryNadler - HEARINGS!

1. Watching snippets of the #CohenTestimony I'm struck by how similar this is to an organized crime trial. LEO gets one bad guy to admit to crimes he's committed but makes a deal to get to the higher ups. That's typical right? And of course the defense attorneys...
2. The defense attorneys for the higher ups attack the credibility of the "flipped" witness. He's a liar. He's a criminal. He's going to get a book deal. But here's the thing...@GOP members of the House & Senate are NOT supposed to be defense attorneys for the @POTUS ...
3. They should be on the side of Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs). They should be protecting the laws of the land and the people who they serve. Apparently partisan power is more important to them than anything else. Many of them tried to impeach Clinton for far less.
Most members of Congress used the #CohenTestimony to grandstand, but @AOC may have implicated Trump in a whole new case altogether in less than 5 minutes. No wonder Republicans are terrified of her. Shout out to the new class.
AOC, Pressley, and Tlaib all looked ready. They did not disappoint. The future of the Democratic party is looking bright.
I'm glad the Democratic party is welcoming more young people to the table. People who can speak this passionately about the problems in politics are a net positive for the discourse.
The #CohenTestimony is already amazing.
"For the record, Individual No. 1 is President Donald J. Trump"
"Since taking office he has become the worst version of himself."

I'm really busy in court. Someone give me a #CohenTestimony update!

"Mr. Cohen has provided a copy of a check sent while President Trump was IN OFFICE, with Donald Trump's signature ON IT, to reimburse Mr. Cohen for the hush money payment to Stormy Daniels." @RepCummings #CohenTestimony
"This check is dated August 1st, 2017. Six months later, in April of 2018, the President denied anything about it." @RepCummings #CohenTestimony nbcnews.com/politics/donal…

THREAD: FAILURE TO IMPEACH
Trump's behavior absolutely warrants — even demands — #impeachment. And this is without #Mueller or #CohenTestimony. But the GOP will subvert the Constitution to protect him. And House Dems refuse to do it, even though polls show majority support.

And to the argument that the Senate won't convict, that doesn't matter. The PROCESS of impeachment will affirm that the rule of law still matters, and it can focus the national spotlight on the sheer magnitude of Trump/Pence's corruption.

#Impeachment hearings would tell the world American democracy is still alive and that kleptocracy and creeping fascism haven't completely destroyed the rule of law. House Dems refusing to do it is a failure, and will cost us dearly. No sugarcoating it.
