Read this thread if you want a really good breakdown of all the various court cases related to Trump and the House impeachment inquiry: https://mobile.twitter.com/blakesmustache/status/1181871750025486336 Interestingly, the opinion of that lawyer is that most/all of these cases will be rejected by SCOTUS (not even heard) and wrapped up by early next year; Trump's lawyers know this and are just using every delay tactic they can. If you're on this forum daily, none of this is a surprise, but nice to see it summarized.

So let me get this straight. We're going to send 2000 troops to defend Saudi Arabia from specious Iranian threats. The very same Saudi Arabia that dismembered a US-residing journalist? But we can't afford to police a conflict between Turkey and the Kurds. Despite the Kurds being faithful allies who just finished helping us beat back the Islamic State. I've got that right?

We can't stand in the way of genocide of the Kurdish people, it's vitally important that we actively help with the genocide of the people of Yemen. Bing bong, so simple. ... gently caress.

Yeah, this was actually one of the most comforting threads/articles I've read in weeks. I hope his take is right. He seems to think that the cases are all pretty airtight against Trump (aside from the McGahn case) to the point that SCOTUS may not even hear all of them and just leave the lower courts' decisions standing. He seems to think that worst case SCOTUS rules against Trump et al but provides him with a delay. However, he states his perspective is based on Roberts not wanting to "throw away the legitimacy of SCOTUS to protect Trump". I'm not entirely sold that Roberts cares/views it that way. Still, an encouraging read overall. Especially for the legal layman like me who reads the poo poo Trump's lawyers are arguing and goes "How the gently caress is this even real".

Not that it wasn't obvious, but Giuliani's relationship appears to also be under investigation. Also besides Parna and Fruman, I saw two new names mentioned: David Correira and Andrey Kukushkin. Kukushkin is in custody, Correira hasn't been arrested yet. Rudy Giuliani's relationship with arrested men is subject of criminal investigation: Sources quote:

My first thought was "why conversion therapy of course!" but then my mind immediately checked itself, "Grift off his kid's sexuality somehow, of course." He'll use his kid's sexuality to make barely coherent strawman arguments a la "HOW CAN YOU CALL ME INTOLERANT I HAVE A GAY SON!!!! AND HE'S EVEN CONSERVATIVE! SEE THE LEFT JUST USES LGBTQ PEOPLE LIKE THEY USED GRETA THUNBERG FOR THEIR OWN POLITICAL ENDS"
