For Trump, there are no wins or losses. Just money-making opportunities. — PolitiTweet.org

There are 130+ Republicans who are about to be formally involved in the same disenfranchisement effort and their corporate donors are going to have to decide whether they want to continue to be associated with them — PolitiTweet.org

I've watched these MAGA rallies progress since election day. We started out with about 25% of the people wearing masks. We are now at 0%. — PolitiTweet.org

I'd like to personally thank President Trump for sending hoards of his mask-less, delusional supporters to my neighborhood in the middle of the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

5. Further, the prosecution may be able to identify witnesses who could testify about Trump's state of mind. Or there might be documents. Just because Trump could claim to be acting in good faith doesn't mean that claim would hold up in court. https://t.co/3UwGaiqoRo — PolitiTweet.org

4. But there are aspect of the call that cut against that defense. Specifically, Trump repeatedly asks Raffensberger to find 11,780 votes -- the exact number needed to flip the result. Trump never appears interested in an accurate count, only a win. https://t.co/3UwGaiqoRo — PolitiTweet.org

3. Both federal and state law require the solicitation of fraud to be intentional. Trump's lawyers could argue that Trump BELIEVED there were 11,780 votes so he wasn't, in his mind, soliciting fraud Trump's best defense is his own delusional thinking https://t.co/3UwGaiqoRo — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

2. The basic fact pattern establishes both a federal and state crime. It is not legal for Trump to call Georgia's Secretary of State and ask him to find 11,780 votes that do not exist. And that's exactly what Trump did. But Trump does have a defense. https://t.co/3UwGaiqoRo — PolitiTweet.org

1. Was Trump's call to Raffensberger criminal? I took a look at potential federal and state statutes that could be used to charge Trump. A successful prosecution would be difficult but not necessarily impossible. Follow along if interested. https://t.co/3UwGaiqoRo — PolitiTweet.org

Trump just demanded, on national TV, that the Vice President of the United States use his position of President of the Senate to reject the certified results of the election, set aside millions of votes, and install Trump for a second term. That is something that just happened. — PolitiTweet.org

This is not true. Trump does not have the ability to force anyone to participate in this charade. The GOP has chosen to do this to themselves. — PolitiTweet.org

@ad0237 Thanks Alice. I just don't understand why he's viewed as being so successful at handling the pandemic. New York has had a lot of problems and continues to and he's in charge. — PolitiTweet.org

Cuomo wrote a book on how well he dealt with the pandemic. He is currently threatening to fine hospitals that don't distribute the vaccine quickly enough and wants to impose criminal penalties on hospitals that give the vaccine to the wrong person. — PolitiTweet.org

@andymstone We can agree to disagree on that. But the DETER Act wouldn't require Facebook to do anything and saying Facebook supports "Section 230 reform" and "privacy legislation" isn't saying anything at all. — PolitiTweet.org

@andymstone My position is pretty simple: regulation should be implemented for the public good and not guided by millions in spending on lobbying, PAC contributions and PR campaigns — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@andymstone Ok, here is a simple question: what Internet regulation does Facebook support that does not codify something it is already doing? — PolitiTweet.org
