(678 posts)3. "Trump's Presidency Ended May 9th" Hatch being briefed
https://patribotics.blog/2017/05/13/trumps-presidency-ended-may-9th-hatch-getting-security-briefings/
I can't open your twitter link (may be busy)??
Is Taylor's lead the same as this by Louise?
I know they work together often, & have a shared respect.
As of the 13th Mensch had written about the May 9th date also.
Here's her blog post.
Exclusive:
Several sources familiar with the matter say that Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah is being given security briefings to prepare him for the Presidency.
Sources close to the legal community indicate that matters are proceeding rapidly in the forthcoming proceedings to remove Donald Trump from office, and to indict the co-conspirators around him.
Sources with links to the intelligence community described a sense of both inevitability and urgency over the unraveling of the Trump-Pence administration over their attempts to obstruct justice.
[Trumps presdidency ended May 9th, said one source, referring to the overtly politicized dismissal of FBI Director James Comey.
Donald Trump and Mike Pence have both violated their oaths of office in plain sight over the unconstitutional dismissal of Director Comey, these sources say, and elements of the Judicial Branch are asserting the separation of powers described in the Constitution.
This matter is separate from, and additional to, the substantive charges of collusion with the Russian state, and of money-laundering, sedition, violation of the Logan Act, and other crimes with which both Trump and Pence may be charged.
As I exclusively reported earlier this week, Speaker Paul Ryan, normally third in the line of succession, will be excluded as the intelligence community has an intercept in which Ryan openly admits that he knew Sergei Kislyak was washing Russian money into the GOP.
This will convict Ryan on RICO charges; as I have also exclusively reported this week, a RICO case exists against the GOP as a body.
The raids earlier this week on a data and consulting firm close to Paul Manafort formed part of evidence gathering in this RICO case.]
Some of the violations committed this week by Pence and Trump include, but are not limited to, lying that Director Comey told Mr. Trump he was not being investigated;
*explicitly connecting Trumps firing of Comey to the investigation of his connections with Russian hacking;
* using White House spokesmen knowingly to lie to the public, for example, Sarah Sanders Huckabee claiming Comey committed atrocities;
*having the Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, involve himself on a matter on which he was recused;
*explicitly stating that the White House wishes a new FBI Director to bring the Russia investigation to a conclusion;
*and witness tampering with threats to Director Comey.
As a result, sources say, steps are being taken by aspects of the Judicial Branch to preserve the constitutional Separation of Powers and ..

Granted Hatch is a p.o.s. but with Pence & Ryan gone, and much more to come in the way of collusion & obstruction for others, perhaps it is a good beginning to puting them all on notice that they work for the people of the United States.
Believe me, I am hoping this is how it truly goes forward from here & Mensch & Taylor's sources are spot on.
