Kind of makes you ask whether that whole Tea Party thing during the Obama years was about something other than spending. https://t.co/6rjtL7wHQI — PolitiTweet.org

The absurd thing about Barr’s critique of the FBI is that we know now the Russians DID hack the DNC and orchestrated the release of damaging emails as part of a broad-based campaign to infiltrate the election and help @realDonaldTrump. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you, Karen! Your dad is a towering figure in sports and American social history and a national treasure. — PolitiTweet.org

In our #AxeFiles convo, @AndrewYang hinted that the oldsters in race lack sufficient understanding of technology and the role it’ll play in shaping-and mishaping-our future. Wonder if he’ll say it in 12/19 debate, for which he just qualified? Pod here👇 https://t.co/jurojDkDQV https://t.co/p1bz9ytiJt — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

https://t.co/1psAN72fuI This reminds me: In recent #AxeFiles w/fmr NEC director Gary Cohn, he spoke of Trump’s maddening insistence that Bezos’s Amazon was ripping off the U.S. postal service—when, in fact, Amazon’s business provided it a lifeline. https://t.co/mjYCe8TC1B — PolitiTweet.org

The IG report on the provenance and nature of the Russia probe makes Crime In Progress, the new book by the former journalists who run Fusion GPS, an even more fascinating read. The detailed account of events puts so much in perspective. — PolitiTweet.org

When Nixon resigned, Ford knew his first task was to rebuild trust in a DOJ that Nixon had tried to pervert for his own purposes. Ford named Edward Levi, president of the University of Chicago, who did just that. The next POTUS and AG will face a similar challenge. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The sheer cynicism and irresponsibility of this is breathtaking and really dangerous. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Smart of @SpeakerPelosi to deliver this trade deal, just at a time when @POTUS is trying to portray the House as mono-manically focused on impeachment. Wonder if he’ll invite her to the signing ceremony? https://t.co/SBhuREpAZM — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Polls this morning have @MikeBloomberg moving to 5 and 6, ahead of a whole passel of candidates who’ve been at this for a year. And that’s after a couple of weeks of TV. He’s just getting started! That said, it’s still a very speculative venture. Ultimately, you need a base. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

To argue that impeachment is invalid because it would overturn a vote of the people is also to declare the impeachment clause in the Constitution null & void because EVERY president is elected by the people! Impeachment is there to check abuses of power BY elected officials. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

It’s Throwback Tuesday in Washington. The @POTUS is menacing another FBI director AND meeting with the Russian foreign minister! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Looks like someone is getting ready to sack another FBI director! Wray just doesn’t get it. When @realDonaldTrump talks about “fixing” the FBI, it has a whole different meaning than correcting its deficiencies! — PolitiTweet.org

“Mr. Chairman, this is a sham. I yield back the balance of my time.” — PolitiTweet.org

“And he never actually TOOK your wallet, did he? In fact, sir, by the time the police arrived, he had removed the gun from the side of your head, isn’t that true? So, in fact. nothing actually happened, did it?” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

“And you obviously didn’t FEEL threatened because you didn’t offer a word of protest when he had that gun pointed at you!” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

“Yes, the man pointed a gun at you and demanded your wallet. But did he ever say, ‘This is a robbery?’ And if he didn’t say ‘this is a robbery’ how, sir, could it be a robbery?!? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The fact that the president didn’t say to Zelensky, “while we’re talking about military aid I want to ask you a favor FOR MY 2020 CAMPAIGN” doesn’t change the meaning of the conversation. The “favor” he asked was to open a probe on his leading 2020 political challenger. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Again, is there anyone who seriously would argue that @realDonaldTrump and @RudyGiuliani would have been pressuring Ukraine for a probe of the Bidens if @JoeBiden weren’t running? And if Trump were truly concerned about corruption, why would he ONLY focus on Biden and 2016? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This is an underappreciated strength of @JoeBiden: Empathy, born of his own sadness and struggles. It is an essential leadership quality and marked contrast to the incumbent. https://t.co/eZLWWSWZJG — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Russia banned for four years from international sports for cheating. How long before @realDonaldTrump vows an appeal? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I don’t get why he doesn’t simply say what Hunter Biden already has said: in retrospect, it was a mistake for him to join that board. @joeBiden has offered detailed rules he would impose in WH to prevent even the appearance of conflicts. Just acknowledge the obvious and move on! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The defense that in asking for a probe of the Bidens, @realDonaldTrump was earnestly pursuing his deeply held concerns about corruption in Ukraine is laughable on its face. Is there anyone on the planet who seriously believes that? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Bottom line: Those who assist @realDonaldTrump in escaping any accountability for this corrupt project are hardly putting America first. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

It is dangerous and derelict to allow @realDonaldTrump-or any president-to so flagrantly defy norms, rules, laws and institutions. If you do that here, there will be no limit to what he or future presidents can do to advance their own fortunes at the expense of the country. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

If these same set of facts were fitted to a Democratic president, is there anyone who doubts the @GOP would speak as one FOR impeachment? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Without the whistleblower complaint, Ukraine was poised to submit to Trump’s private demands to launch a politically-motivated probe against the Bidens & we may never have known about the underlying, improper pressure @realDonaldTrump placed on Zelensky to do so. — PolitiTweet.org
