RT @McFaul: Vindman suggesting now that there was no inter-agency discussion/decision to lift military assistance. Whistleblower complaint… — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This speaks to the extraordinary and contemptible pressure that these witnesses are facing simply for doing their duty by testifying. What’s worse is that the @POTUS and his supporters are whipping up this dangerous enmity. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Again, one of the things that is so impressive about this process is the character of these career public servants, testifying earnestly, at risk to their own careers. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

It was a Trump-appointed Inspector General who thought the Whistle Blower complaint was urgent and credible, a conclusion with which the Trump-appointed Director of National Intelligence agreed. Now witnesses have confirmed the thrust of the Whistle Blower complaint. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

He serves at the pleasure of the president but pleasing the president means betraying his oath and losing the faith of his agency. So...Pompeo for senate? https://t.co/0A4UfspQg0 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

So many candidate scenarios in Dem race are predicated on @JoeBiden implosion. IA & NH look ominous for him. But Biden still shows solid base w/African-Americans & working class whites, despite uneven performances. He’s wobbly but it’s too early to write him out of the script. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

With this brazen move, @realDonaldTrump and @SecPompeo further isolate Israel and the U.S. from the world and make even more remote the possibility of peace and a crucial two-state solution. But it does shift the news cycle. https://t.co/BzgpE282sv — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Fmr U.N. envoy @SamanthaJPower has deep differences w/one of her predecessors, @AmbJohnBolton. But in new #AxeFiles podcast, Power credits Bolton for acting as a “guardrail” in WH, trying to prevent the Ukraine caper from going down.

Watching @ChicagoBears. Does anyone have a phone number for @Kaepernick7? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

In #AxeFiles pod coming Monday, former U.N. Ambassador @SamanthaJPower says the willingness of career foreign service officers to stand up on Ukraine at great personal risk has created an “I am Spartacus moment” that has boosted morale within their ranks. https://t.co/K4fPmYIlGS — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

In a recent #AxeFiles, Adm. Mike Mullen, former chair of the Joint Chiefs Of Staff, told me @realDonaldTrump was being “played” by Kim Jung Un. This is more evidence of it. — PolitiTweet.org

This disastrous week for @realDonaldTrump is ending with the defeat of his candidate for Gov in LA, for whom he made three visits, including 48 hours ago. Dem Gov. @JohnBelforLA wins. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Yikes. These are stunning numbers! Guess who is going to get A LOT of attention at Wednesday’s debate! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

@TopherSpiro Fair points. My point isn’t whether the Warren transition plan is more explicit/generous but, like the others, offers consumers choice between public & private plans. The other campaigns reject comparison because hers is transitional to system in which everyone is in Gov plan. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

One sidelight to the @POTUS tweet bomb that blew up in his face yesterday. It was the @realDonaldTrump Administration that asked Yovanovitch to re-up as ambassador to Ukraine JUST LAST MARCH! https://t.co/pGO0XnrHBG — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@realDonaldTrump chose Sondland to run these messages because he is a political guy, unencumbered by the ethical bounds of career diplomats... but also, it turns out, a blundering amateur when it comes to shaking down foreign leaders. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

That dagger in the ratings mean that large numbers of these books that propelled junior to the top were sold through bulk sales. Imagine how well it would be doing if the Trump Foundation were still operating! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Ha! The “failing” @nytimes bestseller list apparently means a lot to @realDonaldTrump. Not “fake news?” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@realDonaldTrump must have forgotten that he has “one of the great memories of all time” when he asserted in answers to Mueller that he couldn’t recall any details of conversations w/Roger Stone in ‘16. Can’t even recall convo with Sondland 3 mos ago! https://t.co/MEzQCJ0zSy — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Negative fallout from Medicare For All? @ewarren has a plan for that! Her transition plan to MFA sounds more like that of @PeteButtigieg and @Joebiden, preserving private choice with a robust public option. It’s a better place to be. https://t.co/HtoIiJDXsq — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

If I were Sondland, I’d be worried about sinking like a Stone. https://t.co/MEzQCJ0zSy — PolitiTweet.org

A @realDonaldTrump go to play: When in trouble, start another dumpster fire to divert attention. https://t.co/3N1HRxzcvv — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Classic line about @realDonaldTrump from former @RepMikeRogers: “The only time he’s not shooting himself in the foot is when he’s reloading.” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

You’re right. Most MEMORABLE line was what I meant. Favorite not the right word, as the language she described was chilling and clearly inappropriate. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

One of my favorite lines of the hearing was when Yovanovitch was asked why she felt threatened by @realDonaldTrump words: “ ‘Some things are going to happen to her.’ That didn’t sound good!” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

What’s striking about the hearings so far is how little defense the president’s supporters have mustered. They are all over the Whistle Blower, Hunter Biden, the debunked ‘16 conspiracy theory. But on the facts of what @realDonaldTrump & his apparatchiks said & did? Very little. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Kind of baffling why the Rs feel it’s so damning that the Whistle Blower didn’t testify when a dozen witnesses and the WH transcript on the 7/26 call have verified his or her concerns. — PolitiTweet.org
