“As I said on the phone, I think it’s crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign." Make no mistake, Bill Taylor knew what he was doing. He was determined to create a paper trail. And he had very good reasons to do so. https://t.co/0SpeCXbFc4 — PolitiTweet.org

Smoking texts spotlight diplomat Bill Taylor’s discomfort with Trump’s Ukraine pressure campaign. The Daily 202 looks at the acting ambassador you probably hadn't heard of until last night: https://t.co/0SpeCXbFc4 — PolitiTweet.org

In two of the cases when ellipses were used in the Zelensky "transcript," they accompanied Trump’s reference to CrowdStrike, which is at the center of a conservative conspiracy theory about a computer server central to the company’s investigation of the Russian hack of the DNC. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressional Republicans are doing what they can to help Trump keep the focus on 2016: Senate Finance Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) & Senate Homeland Security Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) have announced their renewal of an inquiry into any coordination between Ukraine & DNC. — PolitiTweet.org

Before Barr appointed Durham, another U.S. attorney at the Justice Department had already been tasked with reviewing the Clinton email investigation. The results of that probe remain unknown. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Pompeo's State Department has been re-investigating the email records of dozens of current and former senior State officials who sent messages to Clinton’s private email account when she was secretary of state, a post she departed six-and-a-half years ago. https://t.co/lPD6xX7Mnj — PolitiTweet.org

Trump also called Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison recently and urged him to assist with this probe, the New York Times reported on Monday. https://t.co/Sya74ce9yi — PolitiTweet.org

Trump telephoned British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to ask for his help in gathering evidence to discredit the origins of Bob Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, the Times of London reported Wednesday. https://t.co/kRcdCLVmCp — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Barr has been holding secret meetings overseas with foreign intelligence officials to enlist their help in what Trump hopes will discredit U.S. intelligence agencies’ examination of possible connections between Russia and members of his 2016 campaign. https://t.co/sWmNKU7KOm — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

In his quest to rewrite the history of the 2016 election, Trump’s personal attorney has turned to an unusual source of information: Trump’s imprisoned ex-campaign chairman Paul Manafort. Their shared goal is to undermine the rationale for Mueller's probe. https://t.co/ttCkt0QjFl — PolitiTweet.org

Thread: The 2016 presidential campaign has now dragged on, essentially, for five years. Like the forever war in Afghanistan, President Trump promises to turn the page but fails to do so. https://t.co/qHkhfATtJk — PolitiTweet.org

Today's @washingtonpost includes an 8-page special section devoted to honoring Khashoggi. The op-ed page has a blank space where Jamal's column would be if he hadn't been murdered by the Saudi regime. It’s surrounded by 3 pieces from other Arab writers. https://t.co/UKwPSwLPry — PolitiTweet.org

The pen is mightier than the bone saw: Try as he might, MBS will not stifle debate. And The Washington Post will never forget Jamal Khashoggi. https://t.co/UKwPSwLPry — PolitiTweet.org

Trump does not subscribe to the notion that our history, our lower-case-r republican values and our unique constitutional system are distinguishing features that make America exceptional. He's said so explicitly and repeatedly. https://t.co/UKwPSwLPry — PolitiTweet.org
