House Judiciary Comm. should hold an emergency hearing tomorrow. Examine the tape. Hear from legal experts re the potential criminality of Trump's attempted extortion. It's not a complicated case. Show the move to block Biden votes is related to a possible criminal enterprise. — PolitiTweet.org

Can’t wait to hear Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy justifying Trump’s call to Georgia.

DoJ policy--right or wrong--is that a sitting president cannot be indicted. But there is no reason why the Justice Dept. cannot prosecute a former president for actions undertaken when he was in office. And former will be very soon. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm no lawyer but the fact Trump asked Raffensperger to "recalculate" and deliver him just the exact number of votes he needs to win shows corrupt intent. I'm sure a prosecutor could do wonders with this. And is it unreasonable for the House to do a quick impeachment this week? — PolitiTweet.org

This is far worse than the Watergate “smoking gun” tape—and that turned many Republicans against Nixon. This shows Trump abusing his office to coerce and extort (perhaps criminally) a local official into illegally overturning a fair & legitimate election. https://t.co/utPBuWuZza — PolitiTweet.org

The president threatening local officials with a phony criminal prosecution to get them to overturn his electoral loss? This is definitely an abuse of power. Could it be criminal? (Lawyers weigh in.)
