"The chief justice’s responsibilities at the trial are fluid and ill-defined, and they will probably turn out to be largely ceremonial. What is certain is that they will be full of peril for his reputation and that of his court.” Smart piece by @adamliptak https://t.co/Xd2kXkByAY — PolitiTweet.org

Hill veteran @hillhulse on the emerging rules on media coverage of the Senate trial: "Pretty much an outrage. Either Senate Republican leadership has no interest in recording history or perhaps they just want to play down the coming events altogether." https://t.co/xvyf5WhwKU — PolitiTweet.org

Newly released documents suggest that Yovanovitch was kept under surveillance as Giuliani and his associates pushed to oust her because she was standing in the way of their scheming. ⁦@benprotess ⁦@WRashbaum ⁦@mrothfeld⁩ https://t.co/dzHkoShHj5 — PolitiTweet.org

Russian hackers have been probing the Ukrainian firm tied to Hunter Biden. Experts say the Russians could be searching for embarrassing material on the Bidens — the same kind of information that Trump wanted. ⁦@nicoleperlroth ⁦@AllMattNYT⁩ https://t.co/O7kxJDmsuI — PolitiTweet.org

"He was the leader of the group that killed Dad": For many Americans, the strike that took out Suleimani delivered a long-delayed form of justice for the death and mayhem he wreaked in the Iraq War. ⁦@richoppel⁩ ⁦@NickAtNews⁩ https://t.co/yi4F2MVhmv — PolitiTweet.org

Unlike previous waves of opposition in Iran, some of the outrage this time has come from conservatives who ordinarily support the government, as well as from the usual critics. ⁦@farnazfassihi⁩ ⁦@ddknyt⁩ https://t.co/LgAqIIOb8l — PolitiTweet.org

For most of the last 17 years, Biden has been trying to explain his vote to authorize the Iraq, sometimes trying to falsely revise history along the way. ⁦@katieglueck ⁦@thomaskaplan⁩ https://t.co/4b7M5W0sty — PolitiTweet.org

Much of the US economy is largely unscathed by two turbulent years of trade war with China. Yet economic growth is trending near 2% in 2019, well short of the Trump administration’s goal of 3%. ⁦@JoshZumbrun⁩ ⁦@anthonydb⁩ https://t.co/RoOnluBZUK — PolitiTweet.org

Biden's concern at the time was wanting to take more time to be sure it really was bin Laden at the Pakistan compound. In an interview published in January 2013, Biden told me he also later told Obama to "follow your instincts." https://t.co/7v679Za0Do — PolitiTweet.org

Biden's 2012 account of his advice on bin Laden raid: "Mr. President, my suggestion is, don’t go." Biden this month: Q: "Didn’t you tell President Obama ‘don’t go’ after bin Laden that day?” Biden: “No, I didn’t. I didn’t." ⁦@GlennKesslerWP⁩ https://t.co/7lJHt4mZrW — PolitiTweet.org

O'Brien circulated a secret memo listing options, including a targeted strike on Suleimani. There was consensus among Trump's top advisers but some intelligence officials thought not enough attention was paid to possible consequences. ⁦@julianbarnes⁩ https://t.co/5WLXSm1dmq — PolitiTweet.org

Administration officials say they did not actually know when or where such an attack might occur and one State Department official says it was “a mistake” to use the word “imminent.” ⁦⁦@ewong ⁦⁦@jakesNYT⁩ https://t.co/5WLXSm1dmq — PolitiTweet.org

The plane was late and the kill team worried. As hours ticked by some wondered if the operation should be scrubbed. Then Suleimani's convoy arrived. Inside 7 days that roiled the world. ⁦@ronenbergman ⁦@ddknyt⁩ ⁦@julianbarnes ⁦@Alissanyt⁩ https://t.co/5WLXSm1dmq — PolitiTweet.org
