The court-appointed review recommended against tacking on a contempt citation for Flynn. But how about for Barr and the DOJ, for what the former judge assigned to evaluate the case called “gross abuse” of power in walking away from Flynn’s admitted crime? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Flynn need not fret. Even if @realDonaldTrump is headed for defeat, as currently seems likely, he’ll still retain the absolute power of pardon until he leaves offices. Nov. 4th, you can bet he’ll back up the truck and spring his whole gang. https://t.co/yV6mobxAiS — PolitiTweet.org

Several of the states where @realDonaldTrump wants to relocate his convention-TX, AZ, FL-are suffering a resurgence of COVID-19 after reopening. So is NC, where the governor has been responsibly cautious about sanctioning a large-scale event, infuriating the @POTUS. — PolitiTweet.org

He got elected promising a wall. Now the walls are closing in on @realDonaldTrump and he’s not handling it well. Even in the pantheon of bizarre Trump tweets, this one is particularly bonkers. He doesn’t realize it but Trump is currently about the business of defeating himself. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a disturbing saga of misdirected mob action in the social media age. https://t.co/VLwHONmG7D — PolitiTweet.org

A pandemic on which you stumbled; a massive recession and nationwide protests over the grotesque murder of George Floyd, to which you responded by threatening to send in troops. Why in the world would your numbers be down?🤔 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

How ironic that @realDonaldTrump cynically used @Kaepernick7’s earnest protest against police brutality to divide and inflame in ‘16. It cost Kaepenick his job. Now many Americans are taking a knee and it’s the @POTUS’s job that is in jeopardy. https://t.co/15ADDDzhAW — PolitiTweet.org

A few years ago, I sat for #AxeFiles w/Ta-Nehisi Coates, author of Between the World and Me and, perhaps, the most incisive writer on race in America today.

Powell; Mullen; Dempsey-three former chairs of the Joint Chiefs of Staff-have rebuked the @POTUS. So have Generals Mattes and Allen. America’s most highly respected former military leaders are speaking out. This is unprecedented. — PolitiTweet.org

Translation for those who haven’t been paying attention: “I want to PANDER. I want to DIVIDE. I will LIE and do ANYTHING necesary. Because I am DESPERATE to win re-election!” — PolitiTweet.org

“He lies. He lies about things. And people are not holding him accountable,” Powell said, condemning those in Congress who have remained silent. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On @CNN just now, General Colin Powell just condemned @realDonaldTrump for “drifting away from the Constitution.” America, Powell said, “is getting wise to this and is not going to put up with it.” — PolitiTweet.org

Memo to the @POTUS. Today is the anniversary of D-Day, when the allies made their extraordinary, decisive stand for the freedom and dignity of man. Might be good to take one minute away from frenetic self-adulation to note this. — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone should celebrate better jobs numbers. I am not questioning these. But as @realDonaldTrump takes a victory lap, I am reminded of his past statements on unemployment numbers. https://t.co/axosvxGbtP — PolitiTweet.org

⁦.⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ says he must have a jam-packed arena for his convention, virus or not. But why can’t he do what he did at his inauguration and have a smaller crowd and SAY the place was full? https://t.co/n4MWygQXE4 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I vehemently disagree with @TomCottonAR’s column parroting @POTUS on the use of U.S. military in American communities. It struck me as fundamentally un-American and dangerous. But so is the argument that the Times shouldn’t have printed it. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

We all saw the gruesome murder of George Floyd by police. We only saw part of the ambush and killing of Ahmaud Arbery. But the details, as laid out in court today, are just as horrifying in their own way. The racism proclaimed. https://t.co/wnesptwM7R — PolitiTweet.org
