@jrezaian #PrisonerTheBook is a fantastic read. When a skilled journalist is seized and held captive but lives to tell the story, the result is one hell of a book! — PolitiTweet.org

He spent 544 days in an Iranian prison, including months in solitary confinement, for reporting the news. On the latest #AxeFiles, @jrezaian of the @WashingtonPost shares his harrowing story and talks with me about the threats to journalism today. https://t.co/MPdKyoIDnk https://t.co/2KAVfelGq4 — PolitiTweet.org

The fear when the Trump Admin sanctioned the entire Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, it could open U.S. troops to retaliation. This suggests those fears may have been well-placed. https://t.co/OkqZWMYBO8 — PolitiTweet.org

We just marked World Press Freedom Day. On tomorrow’s #AxeFiles podcast, my conversation with @jrezaian of the @washingtonpost, who spent 544 harrowing days in an Iranian prison on trumped up espionage charges. Freedom relies on a free press! — PolitiTweet.org

Agree 100 percent, @NicolleDWallace! Amazing performance. I had a wonderful conversation with brilliant playwright Aaron Sorkkn about his production. Coming up soon on the #AxeFiles! — PolitiTweet.org

Sad to learn of the passing of Tom Hynes, who earned a reputation over forty years of rough-and-tumble Chicago politics as a classy, decent and committed public official. RIP https://t.co/nlPqQKotVz — PolitiTweet.org

“It is a kind of trope of political opposition in every administration that the attorney general—whoever he or she is—is politicizing the Justice Department and acting as a defense lawyer for the president. In this case it is true.” https://t.co/NcGiq1x7r8 — PolitiTweet.org

@sam_vinograd @UChicago Thanks to both Ambassador Bill Burns and @sam_vinograd for such an enlightening discussion at @UChiPolitics last night! So grateful to have you. And yes, The Back Channel is a great and important read! — PolitiTweet.org

Had a rollicking #AxeFiles w/my pal @JamesCarville, who had lots to say, including this about D frontrunner @JoeBiden. “ I don't care how experienced you are. I don't care how many good people you have around you. That is not a job for 80-year-olds.” https://t.co/zkjS0pjwHC… https://t.co/bncNbRFKgn — PolitiTweet.org

It would take an extraordinary lift to muscle his way into this already crowded race. But @MichaelBennet surely adds a thoughtful and gutsy voice to the debate. https://t.co/Ej31Y13IZv — PolitiTweet.org

Really looking forward to the conversation @jrezaian! — PolitiTweet.org

All these calls for Barr’s resignation mean not one whit. If the AG’s goal was job security, he pleased the only audience who mattered. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

@benshapiro When Mueller declared that obstruction is an open question, you would think the AG would have delved into the underlying evidence before rendering a judgment. But Barr made clear long before he was AG that he rejected the obstruction charge. Which may be why he got the job! — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The Harris questioning was the only time Barr seemed genuinely flummoxed and on the defensive. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

.@KamalaHarris elicited what seemed to me to be a pretty astonishing admission from Barr that neither he nor Rosenstein or their staffs examined the underlying evidence gathered by the special counsel before deciding the president would not be charged for obstruction. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Bob Mueller has been an admirably silent, solitary character throughout the special counsel probe, speaking only through his filings and report. Now it’s imperative for the Congress and the country to hear from him. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Congrats to the great @BryanCranston for his well-deserved Tony nomination. On the latest #AxeFiles, I spoke with him about his remarkable Broadway performance as Howard Beale in Network. Hear it here: https://t.co/0Hctp65fFM https://t.co/QpDmZDX0fT — PolitiTweet.org
