       Article</span></a></div>&#13;</div>&#13;</aside>&#13;<p>When
       Federal Judge Victor Marrero ruled this morning that Donald
       Trump&rsquo;s tax returns must be turned over to the Manhattan
       District Attorney, he issued a wide-ranging ruling that covered
       a lot of ground. As Palmer Report explained, the legal battle
       centers around a grand jury subpoena over the tax returns, which
       means the grand jury is seeking to <a
       href="
  HTML https://www.palmerreport.com/analysis/judge-kicked-donald-trump/21629/"<br
       />rel="noopener noreferrer">criminally indict Trump</a> on state
       charges. It turns out the judge had something to say about
       <i>when</i> Trump can be indicted.</p>&#13;<p>The big question
       about the New York grand jury is whether it&rsquo;ll wait and
       indict Donald Trump the minute he&rsquo;s no longer president
       (at which point he&rsquo;d be immediately arrested), or if the
       grand jury will try to indict Trump while he&rsquo;s still in
       office. Donald Trump&rsquo;s Department of Justice is insisting
       that a sitting president can&rsquo;t be indicted on federal
       charges &ndash; but the DOJ doesn&rsquo;t have direct control
       over what the states can do. That&rsquo;s why the judge&rsquo;s
       ruling this morning is so crucial.</p>&#13;<p>As flagged by a
       number of observers, the judge said in his ruling the
       DOJ&rsquo;s position on not indicting a sitting president is <a
       href="
  HTML https://twitter.com/kyledcheney/status/1181203009239470080"<br
       />rel="noopener noreferrer">essentially nonsense</a>. We all
       know
       that the DOJ isn&rsquo;t going to indict Donald Trump while Bill
       Barr is still running it. But the judge just handed significant
       legal precedent to New York State if it decides to try to indict
       Trump while he&rsquo;s still in
       office.</p>&#13;<div></div>&#13;<p>We still don&rsquo;t know
       what that would look like. Federal law enforcement probably
       won&rsquo;t allow New York State to arrest Donald Trump while
       he&rsquo;s still president. But if he&rsquo;s indicted and he
       refuses to show up for his trial, it could be held without him.
       If he&rsquo;s convicted, and the sentence includes asset
       seizures, that could begin while he&rsquo;s still in office.
       It&rsquo;s New York&rsquo;s move now &ndash; but this ruling
       supercharges things.</p>&#13;</div>[/html]

       A new poll released Tuesday showed a majority of Americans
       approve of House Democrats' impeachment inquiry into President
       Trump, a dramatic jump in support. The poll also showed 49
       percent of Americans believe the House should call for the
       president to be removed from office, which would require
       conviction by the Senate.

       Source: USA Today
       A new poll released Wednesday by Fox News shows that just more
       than half of all registered voters support President Trump's
       impeachment and removal from office.
       Those surveyed said 51% to 43% that Trump should be impeached
       and removed from office. Four percent said he should be
       impeached but not removed from office, and 40% said he should
       not be impeached at all.
       The poll also showed a clear partisan divide. Of Democrats
       surveyed, 85% said Trump should be impeached and removed, as did
       13% of Republicans. Those opposed to impeachment and removal
       included 9% of Democrats and 82% of Republicans.
       This poll is among the first to show that roughly half of
       Americans support impeachment and removal from office. It lines
       up with a Politico/Morning Consult survey also released
       Wednesday that said support for removal was at 50%.

       The Trump administration is undermining our nation from
       immigration to the environment, while his tweets and impeachment
       distract us. Add it all up, says our guest, we can see how he
       threatens what remains of U.S. democracy.

       [center]Story Transcript[/center]
       MARC STEINER: Welcome to The Real News Network. I’m Marc
       Steiner. Good to have you all with us.
       The wars around impeachment are escalating. Trump has refused to
       allow State Department and other federal employees to testify in
       congressional committees. Just today, the headlines blared that
       he and his administration will not cooperate because all
       Democrats want to do is to overturn the 2016 election. The
       public is slowly turning against him. But is our democracy in
       danger? While all this is happening, as our guest writes, he is
       restructuring our country, instituting Draconian measures
       against immigrants, opening our lands and waters to oil
       exploration, aggressively trying to end a woman’s right to
       choose, and that’s just the beginning, all the while impeachment
       is capturing the headlines. And then there are his tweets. The
       ravings of a mad man or something more sinister? How do you
       resist, build a political movement with impeachment hiding the
       fundamental changes Trump and his minions are wreaking on our
       nation and our future?
       We are joined by Sasha Abramsky, who is a Journalist and Author,
       Creator of the Abramsky Report, Writer for The Nation, whose
       article I read yesterday, in part inspired this conversation. It
       was called “As We Focus on Impeachment, Trump Is Restructuring
       the Country.” His latest book is Jumping at the Shadows: The
       Triumph of Fear and the End of the American Dream. And Sasha,
       welcome. Good to have you with us.
       SASHA ABRAMSKY: Marc, good to be on the show.
       MARC STEINER: Buddy, it’s good to talk to you. So let’s just
       begin with the latest we’ve seen with Trump and his headlines
       about not cooperating with the investigations and saying his
       people won’t have to cooperate because this is a witch hunt. I
       remember, I lived through Nixon in 1972, and that impeachment
       process, also what happened in Clinton’s impeachment process, or
       most of us did if we were around. And there was this absolute
       defiance, saying that, “I can do whatever I want to.” I mean,
       you write a bit about that, and you’ve tweeted a lot about that.
       Let’s start there. I mean, what this portends, what the
       potential dangers are we’re facing here.
       SASHA ABRAMSKY: Well, the dangers are immense. And it’s a
       mistake to think they just started now with the impeachment
       hearing. Trump’s been president for nearly three years. And
       throughout that three-year period, he’s made it absolutely clear
       and his Justice Department has made it absolutely clear that by
       their ruling philosophy, the law does not apply to the
       president. They say it time and again, that the president cannot
       be convicted of crimes, that the president is in many ways above
       the law, and that the president can essentially disregard
       inconvenient constitutional truths if it suits him, without
       consequence. And what you’re seeing is the gradual building of a
       legal doctrine which essentially gives the president imperial
       powers.
       Now, that’s deeply disturbing. It doesn’t matter if the
       president is an extremely philosophical, deep thinker, which
       Trump most certainly is not, any president, if they claim for
       themselves unlimited imperial powers, is going down a path
       toward tyranny, dictatorship, imperial governance, whatever you
       want to call it. When Trump does it, what he’s essentially doing
       is putting in an American context the Nazi Führerprinzip, this
       idea that the state and the individual who rules at that moment
       in time are absolutely overlapped, that there just is no
       difference between the will or the whim of the leader and the
       power and the authority of the state. And to me, when I look at
       what’s happening around impeachment, when I look at the flagrant
       disregard of constitutional process, of congressional authority,
       and so on, this is Trump laying out a roadmap to imperial
       governance. And what I tweeted yesterday is we’re now at a
       crossroads. And as far as I’m concerned, either Trump’s
       presidency survives, or constitutional government survives. But
       I don’t see how the two of them go hand in hand anymore.
       MARC STEINER: I read that tweet before we went on the air, when
       I was looking at your Twitter feed. And for just a couple
       minutes, let’s wrestle with that for a second. I mean, when you
       look at history, we think that it can’t happen here. And when
       you look at the history of our own country, the United States,
       that we’re broadcasting from, when you look at any kind of
       Western democracy, and when you look at any nation on the
       planet, it can change. And it does change on a dime. You
       mentioned Hitler, 1932, with a small minority of the votes, 32%
       of the votes, he became the ruler and the fuhrer. I mean, these
       things can happen. And I always look at this like, when I think
       about 1877 and Rutherford B. Hayes becoming president of the
       United States with a minority of the vote but was able to
       destroy Reconstruction and start 90 years of terror against
       black people in the South of the United States. And we think
       that can’t happen again. Maybe not those exact things, but we
       need to stop and think about what history tells us about the
       moment we’re facing right now.
       SASHA ABRAMSKY: Yeah. I mean, history never repeats itself
       exactly. And I’ve been writing a lot for the last three, four
       years now about the menace that I think that Trump represents.
       And it’s not necessarily because I don’t like him as an
       individual, though I think he’s both a buffoon and also a
       sadist, but it’s because he pushes policies again and again and
       again that are designed to instill fear and designed to instill
       terror in ever larger groups of the population, whether it’s
       immigrants, whether it’s refugees, whether it’s asylum seekers,
       whether it’s women whose rights are being constricted, or gay
       Americans whose rights are being constricted. Whenever you look
       at Trump’s policies, there’s a bullying, intimidating,
       increasingly violent undertone, and in some cases overtone, to
       Trump’s methodology.
       And he goes before these huge and enthusiastic crowds and gins
       up violence against journalists, against political opponents,
       against anybody who dares to stand up and critique him. And he
       uses the presidential podium, which is the single most highly
       visible platform on Earth, to attack individuals, to go after
       private citizens, to denigrate people, to humiliate people. And
       when you have a governance like that, it seems to me that it
       becomes quite easy to ram through attacks on constitutional
       governments. But in a very real way, our constitutional system
       of checks and balances work when everybody agrees to abide by
       the rules. And when one player in that system essentially says,
       “Look, I’m walking away from the rules. What are you going to do
       about it,” which is what Trump’s been doing, that’s when you
       have an absolute threat to the survival of democratic
       governance.
       And that’s what we saw in Germany in the 1930s, or Mussolini’s
       Italy. It’s what we saw in the juntas of Latin America more
       recently in the 1970s and 80s. It’s the kind of strong-arm
       governance that we see in Russia today, or in Turkey, where a
       nationalist demagogue takes power, and they might not
       necessarily officially destroy the democratic structures, but
       they neutralize them, they bypass them, they appeal to the mob.
       They essentially say, “We no longer agree to abide by the rules
       of the game.” And to me, that’s [inaudible 00:07:17] thought.
       This idea that the world’s most powerful country, but also the
       country that, for 80 years, has acted as something of a
       stabilizing influence in global affairs, the idea that this
       country is going down a rogue route, that it’s got an
       unpredictable, unstable, violent president who, in fits of rage
       or of pique, can change public policy on a dime, I think that’s
       a huge, huge risk to our future that we’re now staring down.
       MARC STEINER: And so that brings me to the point of your article
       that you published in The Nation yesterday online, that while we
       focus on impeachment, Trump is restructuring the country, is
       what you wrote. It was the title of your article. So let’s talk
       a bit about that. I mean, because it goes to the heart of what
       you were just saying and all the things that he is fostering at
       the moment and pushing, from the public charge rules, which many
       people don’t know about, and other issues like that, how it’s
       tied to the Muslim ban. I mean, just talk a bit about what we’re
       not seeing as we’re watching the impeachment, and how that fits
       in.
       SASHA ABRAMSKY: The first couple years of Trump’s government, it
       was somewhat comforting to think, “Well, he’s got horrible
       views, but he’s surrounded by incompetence and he’s actually not
       getting very much done.” The last year or so of the government,
       we’ve seen a tremendous amount being done in a very destructive
       way. So take immigration, for example. He’s using regulatory
       changes to entirely restructure 50 years of immigration policy.
       So whether it’s the regulation that now says, “If you’re an
       immigrant and you use any form of public assistance, whether
       it’s housing or nutritional or health assistance, it will
       subject you to deportation,” or his newest rule, which says, “If
       you can’t afford private health insurance, you’re not going to
       get a visa to come into the country in the first place,” or his
       attack on the asylum process, which says that anybody who
       transits through Mexico en route north to claim asylum is no
       longer eligible for asylum in this country, these aren’t
       regulatory tweaks. These are absolutely fundamental
       restructurings of the immigration process. And they’re done with
       no congressional input. They’re done with no serious legal
       input. They’re basically being done by executive fiat.
       And you get a sense of the tone of Trump’s politics at the
       moment. Two things particularly strike me. First is there was a
       report last week that said that in March, Trump got together his
       top security and border officials, and he said, one, “Why can’t
       we shoot immigrants in the legs to slow them down as they’re
       heading North?” Two, “Why can’t we build a wall with entailing
       spikes on the top so that these families will be entailed if
       they climb the wall?” And three, if that doesn’t work, “Why
       can’t we build a moat along the border and fill it with
       alligators to attack immigrants?” Now, this isn’t the stuff of
       normal politics. This is the fantasy of a Charles Manson
       character, or a Vlad the Impaler character. And you see this
       backed up by increasingly erratic tweets. Just the other day,
       Trump put out this tweet that, in any other time in our history,
       would have signaled the end of a presidency. He put out a tweet
       that said, “In my great and unmatched wisdom,” that’s a quote,
       “In my great and unmatched wisdom, I will totally destroy and
       obliterate the economy of Turkey if they do what I don’t want in
       Syria.” Imagine that. Imagine the most powerful human being on
       quoting the Wizard of Oz.
       MARC STEINER: That’s not funny, but yes, right, right.
       SASHA ABRAMSKY: Right there, you have the duplicity of our
       moment. You have this sort of character who is something of a
       hybrid between Charlie Chaplin’s Great Dictator, this sort of
       caricature of what a dictator should look like, The Wizard of
       Oz, this creature who sort of promises all these grandiose
       things but actually has nothing, and then Charles Manson,
       somebody who fetishizes violence and sadism, and somehow has
       created a cult of personality around him so that a huge number
       of other people will glom on to these entirely maniacal visions.
       And this man has access to the world’s largest nuclear arsenal.
       He could press a button and destroy the lives of billions of
       people in an instant. To me, it’s just unfathomable that
       somebody of this low caliber should have the power of life and
       death over the globe. But that’s the moment we’re in.
       MARC STEINER: So that is the moment we’re in. So the question I
       have to close this very quickly is, so when you look at what’s
       going on with our impeachment process now, and we see all the
       people coming out who are coming out against Trump in those
       impeachment hearings that have agreed to testify, and the battle
       around that, you see what’s happening with the impeachment, but
       then you see all this stuff going on under the radar for most
       people, and also this real danger that we face that we’re not
       paying attention to, that becomes a political question. It
       becomes a question of how you organize against it. It becomes a
       question about how you organize for the future in a positive
       way, because of what we face. And that’s what I, when I was
       asking my earlier historical question, what I was alluding to in
       terms of the real fundamental dangers that we face, and how you
       respond to it.
       SASHA ABRAMSKY: Absolutely. Because, look, this isn’t all about
       whether or not Trump broke some laws when it comes to the
       Ukraine phone call. Much more fundamentally, this is about what
       Trump’s doing to the country in terms of environmental policy,
       with this catastrophic war on the environment that he’s waging,
       his rolling back of climate change initiatives, his rolling back
       of fuel efficiency standards. It’s to do with women’s rights and
       the stacking of the courts with ever more conservative judges
       who, by all accounts, are going to just eviscerate the right to
       an abortion, various other very important fundamental rights.
       It’s to do with the rollback of regulations around workplace
       safety. It’s to do with rollbacks of regulations on banks and
       exploitative lending practices with payday lending companies.
       And all of these things that, when you have a government stocked
       by plutocrats, when you have a cabinet of multimillionaires and
       billionaires, when you have a president who doesn’t have an
       empathic bone in his body, really, really bad things happen to
       the social fabric. You see this attempt, this obsessive attempt
       to roll back the Affordable Care Act. Well, if the Trump
       administration succeeds and gets the Supreme Court somehow to
       declare the entire Affordable Care Act unconstitutional, which
       they’re trying to do, tens of millions of Americans are either
       going to lose their access to healthcare or have to pay a whole
       bunch more to maintain their access. So these things have
       consequences.
       And even if you got rid of Donald Trump tomorrow, even if Trump
       resigned tomorrow, or was somehow forced out of office by a
       senatorial revolt, we’d still be dealing with the Trumpian
       legacy for decades, because so many policies are being
       implemented that put us in a really bad place, a bad place
       pragmatically, a bad place morally, a bad place in terms of our
       global alliances, or lack of alliances, and a bad place in terms
       of the kinds of opportunities that we’re going to have for
       subsequent generations. Because if you put in place policies
       that favor the rich and hurt everybody else, if you put in place
       tax policies that redistribute wealth up the economic ladder, if
       you make it even harder for people at the bottom of the economic
       ladder to succeed, to gain education, to gain jobs that pay
       living wages, if you do all of these things, you’re locking into
       place and inegalitarian, hierarchical system of governance, a
       method of organizing society, that’s going to be with us for
       decades.
       So you’re absolutely right that this isn’t just the story about
       whether we impeach Trump because of what he said with the
       president of Ukraine. This is a conversation about what Trump is
       doing to the fabric of our community, what he’s doing to this
       country, and what policies he’s unraveling that are going to
       take years and years and years to fix. This is going to be a
       healing process. If we find that we wake up tomorrow and Trump
       is no longer the president, we are going to be recovering and
       trying to heal from the Trumpian years, I suspect for many, many
       decades. It’s going to be the single greatest challenge of the
       next many cycles of American politics.
       MARC STEINER: And that’s what our next generation faces, and we
       have to stand with them to make sure this is a better place, not
       a worse place. And Sasha Abramsky, thank you so much for your
       time with us today. I deeply appreciate it. And I look forward

       Mark Karlin, founder and edit or Buzzflash, reports that a
       District Court judge last Thursday enjoined the White House and
       Trump, who was one of the defendants, from destroying any
       documents that are required to be preserved under the
       Presidential Records Act.
       Is Trump using the Nixon plan to hit things?
       Mark Karlin joined Thom to discuss the latest.
