Per the CNBC transcript, here's Trump's latest account of what Mark Zuckerberg said to him at their 2019 dinner. (Facebook wouldn't comment.) (Not sure what "number one" means, but for the record, Modi has about 17 million more Facebook followers than Trump.) https://t.co/GC04ejs5dY — PolitiTweet.org

Trump has said repeatedly that Obama's "magic wand" 2016 comment was a claim that American manufacturing is dead. No: Obama was saying some manufacturing jobs wouldn't come back. But he also boasted about how many were being created. Here's the text: https://t.co/IwLtpIH2mV https://t.co/19IBhfBJ0E — PolitiTweet.org

And when people say "people who think Trump is a liar already think he's a liar, so what's the point" -- even people who already think he's a liar often want to understand how precisely he is trying to deceive them on a particular subject. (The End for today.) — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

I think it's understandable but a bit odd that people are often like "fact-checking isn't killing Trump's approval rating, so Is It Pointless?" When you write 99% of stories, you're probably not going to change an election or something. The point is to make people more informed. — PolitiTweet.org

Since I get this a lot: my job is absolutely not to "move anyone from one camp to another." My job is 1) get people accurate information, 2) inform people how leaders are being dishonest with them, 3) try to hold leaders to account for their deception. https://t.co/qYqtXIe19W — PolitiTweet.org

Might have been sloppiness rather than intentional, but this is the kind of inaccuracy we see from Trump himself all the time -- incessant exaggeration of even numbers that would work for him in accurate form -- so I don't know. https://t.co/LZO62Xzndv — PolitiTweet.org

Sekulow said earlier, "33 days -- 33 days, they held onto those impeachment articles -- 33 days. It was such a rush of national security that -- impeach this president before Christmas that they then held them for 33 days." It was 28 days. — PolitiTweet.org

Sekulow continued that not allowing Trump cross-examine witnesses or have counsel present "violates the Constitution." The Sixth Amendment rights of criminal defendants do not apply to the subjects of House impeachment proceedings. It begins, "In all criminal prosecutions..." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow said earlier that Trump was denied the right to have a lawyer present at Judiciary Committee hearings. Judiciary invited him to have a lawyer participate. It was Intelligence that didn't let him participate in its hearings. https://t.co/oMzWgHDXT9 — PolitiTweet.org

Schiff correctly pointed out that the (48) Republican members of the three committees holding the hearings were allowed in. (Non-members stunt-stormed a hearing in October and eventually left.) Schiff added, "And more than that: they got the same (questioning) time we did." — PolitiTweet.org

Schiff corrects Cipollone's false claim that Republicans weren't allowed into the closed-door impeachment hearings. He says, "I'm not gonna suggest to you that Mr Cipollone would deliberately make a false statement...but I will tell you this: he's mistaken. He's mistaken." — PolitiTweet.org
