Barbara McQuade | What Congress Should Consider in Drafting Articles of Impeachment
 Barbara McQuade, Lawfare Blog McQuade writes: "As prosecutors quickly learn, charging documents serve not only to inform the accused of the charges against him or her but also to frame the evidence and persuade fact-finders of the need to hold the accused accountable. With those goals in mind, here is a prosecutor's guide to drafting charges against Trump." READ MORE  Rudy Giuliani. (photo: Drew Angerer/Getty Images)

One Year After Moonves' Exit, CBS TV Stations Also Face Harassment and Misogyny Claims
Meg James, Los Angeles Times James writes: "Jill Arrington was a star in TV sports. Then, four years ago, the former NFL sideline reporter traded national exposure for what she thought would be a more stable job at CBS' television stations in Los Angeles."
EXCERPT:
CBS is not the only broadcaster struggling with business shifts and complaints of ageism. L.A. station KTLA-TV Channel 5, formerly owned by Tribune Media, as well as the cable giant Charter Communications and the Sinclair Broadcast Group have all faced discrimination claims.
But CBS has a history of complaints, particularly in its treatment of women. In 2000, the company paid $8 million to settle a lawsuit brought by the EEOC, the government agency that polices workplace law compliance. The agency found that women at seven CBS TV stations, including KCBS, endured a hostile work environment that included sexual harassment and retaliation for complaining. About 200 female technicians at CBS stations — camera operators and engineers — were paid less than men and passed over for promotions, the EEOC found.

Ted Cruz Inspires Unintentional Laughter on Meet the Press
Jordan Hoffman, Vanity Fair Hoffman writes: "Senator Ted Cruz got some laughs during a live broadcast on NBC this weekend. Unfortunately for him he was on Meet the Press not Saturday Night Live."
Cruz, sporting a salt and pepper-ish goatee, squared off against Chuck Todd via satellite to discuss the important issues of the day. Some remarkable things happened. When Todd asked him if he believed that Ukraine meddled in the 2016 presidential election, Cruz said he did, saying there was considerable evidence.
Still hung up on the first part, and with an almost Jack Benny-esque sweep, Todd responded “you do?” Cruz's pause netted chuckles from people off-camera and perhaps even a gasp. Crank the volume and listen for yourself.
Earlier this year intelligence officials briefed Senators that theories of Ukrainian involvement in the 2016 election was a fiction created by Russia.
Todd took the moment to lace into Cruz, reminding him of the many nasty things Donald Trump said about him during the primary, suggesting that the President is not above creating “a false narrative about somebody in order to help him politically.” Cruz shrugged this off, and, as part of his spin, and said “of course Russia interfered in our election. Nobody looking at the evidence disputes that.”
“The President of the United States does,” Todd reminded him.
Cruz's Sunday morning comedy act inspired no shortage of social media commentary, the best of which came from his old Princeton University roommate, Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin.
