RT @murphymike: Interesting battle. @davidaxelrod and I will be discussing this, the fast growing Ukraine shake-down scandal, new IA pollin… — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

“In July, Trump told Zelensky that the key to improving ties was Ukraine investigating corruption.” I wonder many other foreign leaders has Trump so fervently, insistently urged to deal with corruption? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I wonder if @realDonaldTrump said to the Ukrainian president, “I don’t know how proficient you are in English so I’m going to repeat this next thing eight times.” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

@ezraklein This is very true. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

If it turns out, as seems increasingly plausible, that @realDonaldTrump pressured the Ukrainians to do his political chore, applying the implicit or explicit leverage of aid the country desperately needs to contend with Russia, we’re in whole new territory. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

What does it tell you that the @POTUS dispatched his political lawyer to pressure the Ukrainians, NOT government envoys, and instructed the president of Ukraine to work with @RudyGiuliani? This is a serious deal. https://t.co/rDKXOHhvRS — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

And I bet @JoeBiden doesn’t mind one little bit being the focus of Trump’s attention, scurrilous as his charges are. It abets Biden’s own strategy of leaping past the primaries to the Main Event. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

When @realDonaldTrump used his Oval Office platform to spread a discredited attack on @JoeBiden today, his concern was not corruption in Ukraine. It was the polls that show Biden with a double digit lead. — PolitiTweet.org

Listening to @realDonaldTrump rambling disquisition on the Otto Wambier tragedy just now, I was reminded of this: https://t.co/m5VvcTjW5w — PolitiTweet.org

I may have missed it but it seems like no one has asked why the WH and DOJ have gone to such extraordinary lengths to suppress the “urgent” IG report that should be shared with Congress, as required by law. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@realDonaldTrump denounces “partisan whistleblower.” Do you know the identity of whistleblower? “I don’t know the identity of the person.” Say WHAT?!? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Questions I hope @POTUS answers: -If he acted properly, why withhold whistleblower complaint from Congress? -On whose authority did @RudyGiuliani pressure a foreign leader to reopen a case that touches on Biden? -What IS the justification for withholding $250m in aid for Ukraine? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Isn’t the measure of integrity and honesty what you do when you think NO ONE is listening? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Painful, painful @Cubs loss tonight after a heroic ninth inning comeback v. @Cardinals. Ugh. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

So often, I find myself asking what the Republicans in Congress would be saying if @BarackObama had even remotely done the things that this president does on a daily basis. I think I know the answer and suspect they do, too. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Here is my question: The IC wasn’t listening in on the @POTUS ‘s calls. So whatever they heard must have been from a conversation he had with someone whose communications were being monitored. Isn’t that right? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The “I’m not dumb enough to get caught” explanation. Essentially, “I wouldn’t say anything inappropriate when I knew people were listening.” OK, then. Why go to such extraordinary lengths to keep Congress from seeing the IG report? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Sad to learn of the passing of Dr. Emily Clyburn, wife of @WhipClyburn. My sympathies to him and his family for their immeasurable loss. RIP — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

It may not work, but this is a smart move for the @KamalaHarris campaign. Iowa is the gateway. If she stumbles there, all her downstream potential will never be fulfilled. Still needs a clear, consistent message, though! https://t.co/Kqed07yFy2 — PolitiTweet.org

This kid is such an inspiration. https://t.co/2mlMbof7rV — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

He tickets SF for “pollution” caused by homelessness even as he tries to thwart CA plan to limit the tailpipe emissions that actually CAUSE pollution. He cares about neither homelessness nor pollution. It’s all about EXPLOITING problems, not SOLVING them. https://t.co/KlPWrxUZGK — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This seems like a huge deal. And if it is what the story says-the @POTUS making an egregious promise to a foreign leader-you’d better believe the WH and allies will go into overdrive, arguing that the IC was spying on the president. https://t.co/Rz85cTTh60 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

There is, however, the question of why Trump appointed Bolton in the first place? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

There are plenty very legitimate concerns about the @realDonaldTrump approach to the world. Plenty. But is it really bad politics for @realDonaldTrump to be at odds with John Bolton, an architect of the Iraq war? I’d guess it’s not. https://t.co/Gt5ZbNXI22 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Interesting comment from @realDonaldTrump about the results of the Israeli election and the possibility that his stalwart ally, @IsraeliPM,may be replaced. “We’ll see what happens. Our relationship is with Israel.” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The early states will have a big say in who moves forward and who doesn’t. Here’s a brand new poll from Iowa: @joeBiden and @EWarren in a virtual tie. @PeteButtigieg in 3d. @amyklobuchar up. @BernieSanders and @KamalaHarris down. https://t.co/KohU6LNfxQ — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I know someone else-someone Bibi knows very well-who might greet bad returns in a similar way. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

In case you wondered why so many Democrats mentioned @BarackObama in the last debate, his favorable rating in this poll of Dems? 90% — PolitiTweet.org
