At the end of a tumultuous week, I sat down with @HurdOnTheHill to talk Mueller, race, immigration and more. New #AxeFiles coming Monday! https://t.co/lsJoIxZIWB — PolitiTweet.org

RT @ValerieJarrett: Powerful personal message from @VictorBlackwell. Every American should watch this all the way to the end. Words mat… — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

And the thing about it is this: @realDonaldTrump may believe in multiplication by division but it doesn’t add up for the American people. The rancor and chaos his daily dose of nastiness creates is a barrier to actually getting things done on tangible concerns. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

If @realDonaldTrump loses in 2020, this will be why. Every, single day, he subjects the country he was elected to lead to a stream of ugly, divisive bombast. It’s exhausting. It’s destructive. It’s unworthy of a POTUS. And it would only get worse. Four more years? Of THIS? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

@matthewjdowd Ç Matthew, you are a great student of polling. The difference between the Fox poll and the NBC-WSJ poll was that Fox was binary while NBC/WSJ offered another option-which was to keep on investigating. 50 percent chose that option. 21 prevent choose starting impeachment now. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Thanks!! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

As Russia works to manipulate the ‘20 elections, what message does it send to Putin when @POTUS dismisses the investigation into the Russian meddling in ‘16 as a “waste of time?” https://t.co/YSURS3TZUl — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

One thing that was crystal clear from Mueller’s testimony was the continuing, subversive threat from Russia. So why has @senatemajldr and the WH bottled up bipartisan measures to stop Putin from attacking again in 2020? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

That’s https://t.co/Wuc36OKZ8y. New episode here👇 https://t.co/eXIQRd5utd — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Here’s what seemed clear today: The investigation Mueller detailed in his report & reaffirmed today was neither “hoax” nor “witch hunt.” The Russians attacked. They sought to help @realDonaldTrump. He tried to thwart the probe of their efforts & is shielded for now by DOJ rules — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

But 50 percent said there should be further investigation, which is the path I would guess @SpeakerPelosi will choose. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Last weekend, WSJ-NBC poll said 21 percent of Americans support House taking up impeachment proceedings, down from 27 percent in June. Did today’s hearings change that math? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Holy smokes! You’d better hope that is not the case.😳 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

When Nunes sheathes his sword, you know something is up. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Tonal shift from morning to afternoon is striking. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

One thing that is absolutely clear, when you piece everything Mueller has said, is that he does not share the AG’s conclusion that @realDonaldTrump “fully cooperated” with the probe. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Mueller has been by far the most emphatic about the ongoing threat of Russian subversion. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Just retweeting this from the initial exchange with Lieu. Mueller tried to qualify it immediately, just not very effectively. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Mueller should object to the idea that there was “no evidence of collusion.” There is a huge gulf between insufficient evidence to bring criminal charges and “no evidence.” — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

RT @CNN: GOP Rep. Ken Buck: “Could you charge the President with a crime after he left office?” Mueller: “Yes.” Buck: “You believe that..… — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Ok, so maybe Rep. Turner didn’t get the don’t be snide memo. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@RepRatcliffe, who badgered Mueller in earlier session, takes a softer tone. Rs must have concluded during break that beating up on him was a bad look. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Nunes apparently employs a new strategy: deploy a mind-numbing blizzard of names and conspiracy theories in hopes that viewers turn off their TVs. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Rs are riding two horses: 1)The probe was thoroughly partisan, born of a corrupt provenance. 2) The probe was thorough and complete and exonerated the president. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Not a commentary on the content. The report is damning. That was reenforced today. He has been an exemplary public servant, as people are both sides attested, but he clearly was struggling today and that was painful. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This is very, very painful. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Finally, Mueller fights back, provoked by the suggestion that he should have polled his prosecutors on their political views. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

RT @ABCPolitics: NEW: Robert Mueller contradicts Trump's claim that he interviewed with Trump for the FBI director job: "My understanding i… — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Mueller did agree with @tedlieu that he would have indicted @realDonaldTrump for obstruction. But he then tried to clean up his answer at the end of Lieu’s questioning, pulling back. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The irony of the @GOP questioning is that Mueller bent over backwards in deference to the @POTUS. Didn’t insist on an interview. Didn’t act on obstruction, though his report clearly lays out a case for it. — PolitiTweet.org
