News Flash: Pharma- and polluter-loving Republicans stand firm against lower drug prices, safer planet. — PolitiTweet.org

Consider that an indicator of the sincerity of his claims. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
If Trump really believed all the terrible things he is saying about the FBI search, he could file a Bivens action to seek compensatory and punitive damages. But that would likely bring the FBI application and affidavit into evidence, so don’t hold your breath. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
It usually takes a criminal charge and motion to suppress evidence, or civil lawsuit alleging illegal search and seizure, to get them into public domain. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
We will know more when FBI application and affidavit become public. Keeping them private is for benefit of individuals’ reputations (they can be loaded up with derogatory information), witnesses’ safety and investigation’s integrity. — PolitiTweet.org

…having exhausted other avenues. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
The inventory of materials taken from Mar-a-lago seems to confirm my thesis that requests for materials were not adequately met, so subpoena was issued to give requests more teeth, and when evidence of further noncompliance arose, FBI went to search warrant… — PolitiTweet.org

RT @RoKhanna: BP reported $8.5 billion in profit for its second quarter, its biggest in 14 years. Fossil fuel companies are cashing in on… — PolitiTweet.org

Watch the far-right flip-flop on the handling of classified documents...this seemed to matter a LOT more back in 2016. https://t.co/cvY6f8y41n https://t.co/kiQDaBHTe9 — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Note that these policies protect individual liberties, so it ordinarily takes affirmative act by individual — like lawsuit or motion to suppress — for materials to become public. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Lawsuits challenging a search as illegal and motions to suppress evidence as wrongly seized are the usual ways where applications and affidavits are made public. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Federal search warrant applications and affidavits are ordinarily not made public (a) to protect reputations of uncharged persons and (b) to protect witnesses and integrity of investigation. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
That disclosure may come later, if Trump litigates the search, or to the defendant if/when someone is charged with an offense in this matter. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
What will be “unsealed” is the warrant itself and the receipt/return of service listing items seized, documents Trump had. What will not be unsealed yet is the application and affidavit presented to the court to explain and justify the search. — PolitiTweet.org

So don’t buy the Republican BS; check out the fact-check on it. https://t.co/jhnloYyBWa — PolitiTweet.org

New IRS funding will support better customer service, helping honest, hardworking taxpayers get their calls answered and their refunds on time. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
A weak IRS can’t help regular Americans stuck on hold for hours, making them mad and frustrated, so attacks by wealthy tax dodgers on the IRS get traction. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Yes, audits of major corporations & wealthy individuals will increase, as they should. Working people are already doing their part and will be less likely to be audited! — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
A weak IRS helps wealthy donors and major corporations dodge taxes, leaving the rest of us to pick up the slack. Boosting enforcement makes sure rich freeloaders pay a fair share. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
To help their wealthy tax-dodger donors, Republicans falsely claim that “87,000 new agents” will be hired — total BS. Most aren’t new positions and most aren’t auditors. The funding will bring IRS staffing back in line with where it was before a decade of GOP budget cuts. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
“The IRS … congressionally imposed starvation diet … has been a get-out-of-paying ticket for corporations and the wealthy.” And us fixing it drives Republicans crazy! https://t.co/5omw4zkbZy — PolitiTweet.org

Correction: answered — he did. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Big Oil made record profits when gas prices peaked, and the burden fell on working Americans. Now, @RepRoKhanna and I are fighting to break the cycle with our Big Oil windfall profits clawback. Consumers need protections, and we have a plan. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Answer: Wray was busy confirming for the first time that Kavanaugh investigation was a sham: tips not investigated, and witnesses to interview (and maybe questions) chosen by Trump White House. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
"I asked him whether he was concerned with warrantless 'backdoor searches' under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. He seemed unperturbed." (part 2) — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
8. "Did FBI Director Christopher Wray intentionally wait to carry out the raid until after his oversight hearing with the Senate Judiciary Committee last week?" (part 1) — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Answer: Maybe also review behavior of protesters outside clinics, also not charged, under First Amendment. — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
7. "Why should we assume that the federal bureaucracy isn't targeting Republicans when the FBI and DOJ have taken no action regarding flagrant violations of the law by pro-abortion extremists threatening Supreme Court justices at their homes? Other than the guy they indicted?" — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
Answer: Maybe you should review what HRC was put through, including massive investigation and improper FBI Director pre-election press conferences full of improper commentary? Maybe you also should review FOX going bananas over her record-keeping while ignoring Trump’s? — PolitiTweet.org
Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse
6. "How is this aggressive action defensible in light of the FBI's and DOJ's treatment of Hillary Clinton, who was never subjected to such an invasive intrusion of privacy, even though she mishandled classified material and destroyed evidence?" — PolitiTweet.org
