.@SenWhitehouse wants Cruz & Hawley off any Senate committees investigating the Trump-incited attack on the US Capitol. He contends as possible subjects of such probes—and possible targets for censure or expulsion— they have a conflict of interest in serving on these committees. https://t.co/4fWvDXmVzI — PolitiTweet.org

Hey, Congressman, what is more divisive than trying to overturn a legitimate election in order to retain power AND then inciting a murderous attack on the US Capitol? Atone for your own party's sins before you dare lecture anyone on divisiveness. — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

Fascist playbook. 1. Try to overturn a fair and legitimate election. 2. If you fail, call for national unity and attack the other side for being divisive. 3. Bide your time. — PolitiTweet.org

JFC. You work for a fascist who incited a terrorist mob that jilled people and then complain about your job prospects? You’re to blame for enabling a demagogue. Be incensed at yourself for endangering American democracy due to your careerism. — PolitiTweet.org

Today would be a good day for Mike Pence to tell Donald Trump, “You’re fired!” — PolitiTweet.org

Meanwhile, what is the president of United States doing about this? Absolutely nothing. Justify that, Republicans! — PolitiTweet.org

Is there predicate for a wiretap on Trump? — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

There is nothing uncomfortable about this. So Trump incited a crowd of terrorists who then killed one of his own supporters? Hard to make his death more tragic. But perhaps this does so. — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

This is what you need to know about this fool. Losing followers on a privately-owned platform for him is comparable to the violence that led to the death of 6 million Jews and others. — PolitiTweet.org

This @SpeakerPelosi move, per sked below, does delay an impeachment vote. — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

Just out. @SpeakerPelosi leading with a bill that would allow Congress to use 25A. Then impeachment. Rules Committee should be ready tomorrow to do both. — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

Are there reasons for @SpeakerPelosi to not move swiftly on impeachment? At least 210 House Dems are sponsoring the impeachment resolution, per @davidcicilline. — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

He has to fill out a personal financial disclosure form. Lots—but hardly all—of info re his current finances. Which could well be worse than in previous years. Not the same as tax returns. All candidates and sitting presidents have to do this. He has done so since 2016 campaign. — PolitiTweet.org

Not really. But we want a clear assignment of blame for the attack and not let corporations act like they don’t know. — PolitiTweet.org

The worst of both-siderism. Only one party has supported the demagogic leader of the murderous terrorists who attacked the US Capitol. — PolitiTweet.org

IMPEACHMENT UPDATE: According to Democratic sources, House Dems still waiting for @SpeakerPelosi to commit to an impeachment vote. Rules committee will be ready tomorrow to consider an impeachment resolution—if Pelosi okays. House Dem. caucus call at 2 pm. — PolitiTweet.org
