Hirono: American people know you're no different from Rudy G or Kellyanne Conway of people who sacrifice reputation for the grifter in WH. You've chosen to be POTUS' lawyer and side with him.

Fed judge has ruled that Dems in Congress can move ahead with emoluments lawsuit against Trump
Democrats in Congress can move ahead with their lawsuit against President Trump alleging that his private business violates the Constitutions ban on gifts or payments from foreign governments, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.
The decision in Washington from U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan adopted a broad definition of the anti-corruption ban and could set the stage for Democratic lawmakers to begin seeking information from the Trump Organization. The Justice Department can try to delay or block the process by asking an appeals court to intervene.
In a 48-page opinion, the judge refused the request of the presidents legal team to dismiss the case and rejected Trumps narrow definition of emoluments, finding it unpersuasive and inconsistent.

Can A Man Beat Trump? Some Democrats Wonder If It's Worth The Risk!
Democratic voters say that more than anything, they want to beat President Donald Trump in 2020. But some worry that means putting their hope of electing yet another male president on hold.
"The last white male Democrat to get >50% of the vote was JIMMY CARTER. Imo we just can't chance it with another white man," said noted Twitter user Abby Spice-Danvers.
"Considering that every single *losing* presidential candidate has been a white man except for one (the lady who got more votes than any white guy ever) I don't understand how 'electability' is a white man's game," said publicity specialist Leslie Hermelin, "If the data tells us anything it's that for every white man who wins, there are scores of others who lose."
"Also," she added, "the last time Democrats elected a white man as president it was the mid '90s. We have folks voting for president today that weren't even born then!"

If Barr's a no-show, put his name plate on the table in front of a chair. Vote to issue a subpoena. Then Dems use their time to read: (1) each misleading statement from Barr letter v. actual report; and (2) facts (not analysis) from Vol. II. Don't waste time responding to GOP.
