@mgcanmore Next the Justice Department will grudgingly reveal how many times Mueller used the word "the" in his report. — PolitiTweet.org

Between the salutations and the legalese, the Barr letter only spends about 2 pages summarizing the Mueller report.… https://t.co/XdshLuT0m8 — PolitiTweet.org

@SimpleManRadio I'd much rather solve the problem of too many pitching changes by limiting staffs to 12 pitchers since the LOOGY problem seems to have ended about 5 years ago. As for winning it all, I will go full contrarian and say Tampa. — PolitiTweet.org

@rschles @rollcall No slogan on the movie poster. I checked. My favorite for decades has been "This Time It's Personal" since, as we all know, sharks are a very discerning species with highly developed revenge fantasies. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

In my @rollcall column, I explain all politics after the Barr letter through "Jaws" movie posters: "The Democratic reaction to Trump brings to mind the slogan from 'Jaws: The Revenge,' the final installment of the shark saga: 'This time it’s personal.'” https://t.co/TGgukYeUZx — PolitiTweet.org

@jamesrhenson I should have written "post-Barr." — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

A remaining puzzle: What's the post-Mueller theory about why Trump is such a fan-boy supplicant to Putin? Is it truly just Putin's magnetic personality and Trump's love of autocrats? Or, as I'm still inclined to believe, something deeper? — PolitiTweet.org

This might be a good afternoon to invoke Mike Kinsley's Rule of Scandal: "The scandal isn’t what’s illegal; the scandal is what’s legal.” — PolitiTweet.org

Not an original observation, but I can’t forget the Watergate mantra, “It’s not the crime but the cover-up.” — PolitiTweet.org

@rudnicknoah Please keep tweeting all the reasons to be skeptical of Emerson polls or other particular polls in the months ahead. People like me need to be reminded. — PolitiTweet.org

@HelenKennedy I could picture it the same way, which is why I hunted it out on the interwebs. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

For some reason, I have spent the afternoon thinking about the "Guilty! Guilty, guilty, guilty!!" Doonesbury strip from 1973. By the way, it was about John Mitchell and not Nixon. https://t.co/r8pp8Mldko — PolitiTweet.org

@jonallendc You root for Tennessee in the 2020 NCAA playoffs after the Iowa caucuses but before the convention. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro

Kudos to @skropf47 for this retro-style piece that evokes how politics was covered before we started drowning in premature polls. He and his colleagues called SC county chairmen to get their take on the 2020 primary. It's revealing: https://t.co/lYQg0IqxNl — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidYepsen Worth mentioning that there is no long-standing relationship between NH and NV as there is with NH and IA. While Gardner remains inscrutable, he also hung onto his job by a thread in the legislature. My guess -- there is every incentive to either move up NH or force NV to change. — PolitiTweet.org

@Margoandhow We are in agreement on this. I'm a huge fan and I tweeted about her column about 30 minutes ago. — PolitiTweet.org

One of my little pleasures is to read @Guardian columnist Marina Hyde on Brexit. I don't get all the references, but I love the brio of her writing: https://t.co/BngaYxqlOK — PolitiTweet.org

@petermarksdrama And if I recall my theater history from memory correctly, "Waiting for Godot" had its American debut at the Coconut Grove Playhouse in Florida. And it was advertised as "the laugh riot of three continents." I haven't Googled the story because I consider this "too good to check." — PolitiTweet.org

I think I will tune in again when everyone is writing, “The Mueller Report shows...” instead of the current very speculative, “The Mueller Report will show...” — PolitiTweet.org
