But Eastman apparently DID assiduously study the 5th Amendment. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This is remarkable. Even AFTER they put the VP at risk and fomenting a violent insurrection at the Capitol, Eastman AGAIN implored the VP to send the electors back to the states. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Three graduates of @UChicagoLaw: @Liz_Cheney; Greg Jacobs, former VP Pence's counsel; and John Eastman, who counseled Trump that Pence could reject state-certified electors. Two apparently attended class when the 12th amendment and Electoral Count Act of 1887 was discussed. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This account of the discussions within the WH between Eastman and Pence aides is mind-boggling. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

This is how a local official in NM justified not certifying the results of last week's primary election in her county. "I have huge concerns with those voting machines. I just don't, in my head, think that they can't be manipulated." No evidence. She just has this FEELING... — PolitiTweet.org

On eve of 50th anniversary of Watergate break in, John Dean, who managed & then exposed the coverup, talks about parallels w/today--& why he says Trump, like Nixon, may walk, despite having "clearly, conspicuously violated many laws."

This poll, which shows far right/election denier and# @GOP gubernatorial nominee Doug Mastriano trailing by just FOUR points in PA, should sober up anyone who thought that this race was done. https://t.co/rDkqD0ptEs — PolitiTweet.org

This is how Putin deals with his political opponents. No freedom-loving person can lionize him in any way or excuse his brutal tactics. It also underscores why Americans have tobe vigilant about protecting and preserving our own democracy. https://t.co/smVOeYnn0A — PolitiTweet.org

$60K for a 3 minute rally speech?!? Wonder how much that was per word? https://t.co/HY7lnf9F2F — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Of all of yesterday's primary results, perhaps the most noteworthy & ominous was the nomination of a candidate for secy of state in NV who's made Trumpian election conspiracy theories the centerpiece of his campaign. If elected, he would oversee voting. https://t.co/vUEx6fV8o8 — PolitiTweet.org

Best wishes to former Mayor ⁦@KeishaBottoms⁩, splendid recent Pritzker Fellow at ⁦@UChiPolitics⁩, on her appointment as Senior Adviser to the @POTUS! https://t.co/VxURxRI2H4 — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Covered alot of ground w/the Big Man, @jheil, and @murphymike--the hearings; economic turmoil; guns and a whole lot more, including the exchange below about what Trump's NEXT campaign & WH crew would look like. Pod👉https://t.co/AmCHqNCtmF https://t.co/49yNyKwL4R — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Billionaire businessman ⁦@RickCarusoLA⁩, an R -turned-D who so far has spent $40 million on his race for mayor maybe should have spent more. He's slipped into second place in last week's primary voting behind veteran Rep. @KarenBassLA as late mail-in ballots are tallied. https://t.co/VEWLc2isaX — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

If two-thirds of @GOP voters believe Trump's lie that the '20 election was stolen, is it any wonder that a lot of their nominees do? https://t.co/2vLI6T0ocr — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Here's what Trump's takeway from the 1/6 hearings will be: If get to the WH again, he's not going to bring loyalists-with-limits, like Pence and Barr. Think about that. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Yes, establishing the historical record is absolutely essential. I was making a narrow, political point. Will the evidence influence Republicans? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The question is, and will be raised throughout these hearings, does it matter? In deeply polarized times, when 70 percent of Republicans accept a blatant lie that the election was stolen, will minds be changed by evidence? Right now, Trump remains '24 @GOP frontrunner. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

The obvious power of what the committee is presenting today is that almost all of it is coming through the testimony of Trump staff and high level appointees, who told Trump the conspiracy theories he was peddling were false. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Barr's testimony is devastating. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

If he weren't so complicit in a massive conspiracy against our democracy, it is almost sad to see a guy who once was called America's Mayor now exposed as a pathetic, dangerous, overserved loon. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Now clips of Giuliani, Powell and the looony-tunes portion of the program. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Stirewalt, ex-Fox News decision desk expert, makes such an important point: an 11,000-vote statewide margin is tight but far outside a margin that ever shifts via recounts in the natural world. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Cheney: On election night, Trump rejected the advice of his campaign experts, and followed the defiant counsel of "an apparently inebriated Rudy Giuliani." — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Sign of times: MI gubernatorial candidate expected to "get a bump" in @GOP primary after his arrest for his role in 1/6 insurrection. https://t.co/fxdv618Yrh — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Saddened to learn of the passing of former IL AG Jim Ryan, a principled conservative who jeopardized his political career decades ago by supporting restrictions on assault weapons. A good & decent man, devoted husband & father & fine public servant. May his memory be a blessing. https://t.co/xjKH1VTwUu — PolitiTweet.org

"This doesn't happen in any other industrialized nation in the world. This is a Made in America problem. We can absolutely fix it if we have just a little bit of courage." Fmr U.S. Education Secretary @arneduncan, talks gun violence, on the #Axe Files👉https://t.co/f2r9NFjzmQ https://t.co/RrbBYqtjFF — PolitiTweet.org

Baby steps, yes. But if it's YOUR child-YOUR baby-who is saved by them, it will mean the world. I'm grateful to these senators for, at long last, trying to do SOMETHING to respond, even as the fight goes on to do more. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Many will say these steps are far too modest in a country overwhelmed by gun violence. But it's SOMETHING after years of NOTHING. They won't solve the problem but could save SOME lives. For the kid who might be saved, doing NOTHING would be unforgivable. https://t.co/J6QimY0dIk — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Sobering testimony to the need for action, on a day when Americans across the country marched to demand it. — PolitiTweet.org
