Michael Bennet on CNN last night: “I guarantee you Mitch McConnell and the Republicans are not going to convict Donald Trump. They’re going to acquit Donald Trump, and then he's going to run for president saying he was acquitted. … I'm tired of losing to Mitch McConnell!" — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Elizabeth Warren said House Democrats ought to vote to impeach to compel Mitch McConnell to force his members to take an up-or-down vote in the Senate, even if it’s quixotic. “Put them on the record and make them live with those votes for the rest of their lives,” Warren said. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

It's instructive to compare Elizabeth Warren on "The View" yesterday to Michael Bennet on CNN last night to understand the divide in the 2020 field on impeachment. Both invoked Mitch McConnell. https://t.co/Q1yvfoyyT5 — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

But the divide is more experiential than generational. Elizabeth Warren is one of the oldest candidates in the presidential race, but she was the first to call for impeaching Trump. Michael Bennet is way younger, but his view was shaped by working in the Clinton administration. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Whippersnappers like AOC, 29, are gung-ho on impeachment while A veteran like Anna Eshoo, who has served in Congress for 26 years, says “This is a case where you need to drive with the emergency brake on.” https://t.co/Q1yvfoyyT5 — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Jay Inslee, John Hickenlooper & Tim Ryan all took steps toward endorsing Trump impeachment on Thursday after Cory Booker & Kirsten Gillibrand did on Wednesday. We've passed a tipping point. A majority of 2020 Dems now support impeachment or proceedings: https://t.co/Q1yvfoyyT5. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Most of the Democratic presidential candidates have now expressed at least some degree of support for impeaching Trump in the aftermath of Mueller’s speech. The latest example is the most surprising. https://t.co/Q1yvfoyyT5 — PolitiTweet.org

"When one talks privately to some Republican members, they express their disdain and even alarm at how he conducts the nation’s affairs. Yet, the same members are reluctant to speak out publicly even in the face of behavior they would find intolerable by any previous" president. — PolitiTweet.org

“The silence of Republicans today in the face of presidential behavior that is unacceptable by any reasonable standard is both striking and deeply disappointing,” Bill Cohen writes. — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Cohen, a former Republican congressman, senator and defense secretary who served on the House Judiciary Committee in 1974 during the Watergate impeachment inquiry, calls on GOP lawmakers to put country before party in an op-ed for today’s Post. https://t.co/xnc5FqD4PH — PolitiTweet.org

At least 2 House Dem chairmen — Bennie Thompson (Miss.) of the Homeland Security Committee and Jim McGovern (Mass.) of the Rules Committee — joined the impeachment push for the first time after Mueller's speech. https://t.co/NLSTsZo1nQ — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

3 former federal prosecutors, Republicans all, discuss in a new video how, if Trump was not president, they believe he would have been charged with obstruction of justice based on the information in the Mueller report. https://t.co/1b0JaogJVt https://t.co/NLSTsZo1nQ — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Other prosecutors would have felt compelled to vocally defend their integrity, as well as the government lawyers who worked for them. Mueller nodded only briefly yesterday to the professionalism of the career civil servants who assisted him. He let Trump's attacks go unrebutted. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

During his investigation, Mueller opted not to force a legal confrontation with Trump to secure an interview. The special counsel agreed to accept written answers that he knew would be vetted by lawyers, and he accepted the president’s refusal to engage on obstruction questions. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Ken Starr, a Republican investigating a Democratic president, testified for impeachment before the House Judiciary Committee in 1998. Bob Mueller, a registered Republican, has no desire to testify. In fact, the goal of yesterday's speech seemed to be getting out of it. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Bob Mueller’s team believed that making any sort of impeachment referral to Congress would fall under the category of accusing the president of a crime. Ken Starr opened his report by advocating for Bill Clinton’s impeachment. One of many key contrasts. https://t.co/NLSTsZFCfo — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Ken Starr he is not. @realDonaldTrump does not appreciate it, as he attacks him this morning, but he may have lucked out that it was Bob Mueller who investigated him. https://t.co/NLSTsZo1nQ — PolitiTweet.org
