All Americans should be urgently concerned that the Russians are at it again while AG Barr & President Trump are giving them—in effect—a pass. Without accountability, Russia’s attacks on our democracy will further breed distrust & division. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Mueller Report is a massive, sweeping montage of misconduct between Russians & the Trump campaign. While there might not have been an explicit agreement required to prove criminal conspiracy, there were beneficial connections the Trump campaign knew of, welcomed & encouraged. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Example 1:Trump asked McGahn to fire the Special Counsel & put a false doc in the file saying he never gave that direction. Example 2:Trump offered McFarland an ambassadorship while demanding she write a dishonest memo saying he never told Flynn to talk to the Russian Ambassador. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Mueller Report documents in detail how the President not only tolerated & condoned people lying, but encouraged & instructed them to lie. It is a portrait of deeply unacceptable, unethical conduct, unbefitting an American president. — PolitiTweet.org

AG Barr should never have been allowed to unilaterally set the narrative for the Special Counsel's report. My Special Counsel Transparency Act would have required full disclosure from the start so the American people could evaluate the full factual findings for themselves. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I will support a subpoena for the full, un-redacted Mueller Report. Only complete disclosure is acceptable. Special Counsel Mueller & his team must testify before Congress about the findings of their investigation. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

AG Barr has disgracefully weaponized the Mueller Report for apparent political gain. AG Barr's actions are a betrayal of his oath of office, our Constitution, & the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

When federal law enforcement came too close to the truth, he tried to shut them down. The report makes clear that President Trump lied repeatedly to mislead the American people & halt the machinery of justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This report is a detailed, deeply damning portrait of criminal wrongdoing & national scandal. President Trump & his associates sold out our democracy & welcomed help through Russia’s illegal actions during the 2016 campaign. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Mueller, along with members of his team, must testify. Happy to hear Barr agrees. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Sad day for DOJ—diminished by an AG who acts like the President’s lawyer not the people's. He should stand for the rule of law, not the rule of Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

On display in Barr’s press conference—an AG who seemingly acts as a spokesperson for the President, not the American people. Doubling down on protecting his boss. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The American people deserve to read the report & decide for themselves the significance of the findings—not hear a sanitized, scrubbed version from Trump’s AG political appointee. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

At AG Barr’s “spin conference” tomorrow, we will hear what his office— & Trump’s legal team—want in a strategized attempt to continue to downplay Mueller’s full findings. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Disgraceful political weaponizing of the Mueller report— corrupting the release, & staged for Trump’s benefit— not the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A sneak preview for Trump smacks of a cover-up, combined with delayed release of the Mueller report until Barr shapes the media message. Shameful betrayal of Department of Justice norms & values. https://t.co/NLHDLxWQKW — PolitiTweet.org

At our heart, we are a nation of immigrants. Rather than building walls, we should be building bridges to unite our communities. Proud to join the CT Immigrant & Refugee Coalition’s 22nd Immigrant Day, honoring the contributions of immigrants to our state & nation. https://t.co/scGATy6fkv — PolitiTweet.org

Students from @NLSTMHS represented CT well this past weekend at @NOSBRocks. Wonderful to see the next generation getting excited about testing their Marine knowledge & diving into the important study of ocean sciences. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

America was built by working men & women who deserve respect. Yet, @StopandShop appallingly refuses to provide their longstanding, hard working employees in Killingly, Montville, Groton, Niantic, Bridgeport & around CT with affordable health care & fair compensation. https://t.co/Cqm7En2161 — PolitiTweet.org

FTC lagging investigation of Facebook means justice delayed. Consumers deserve stronger, swifter protection against privacy abuse at Facebook’s top corporate tiers. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Zuckerberg told Congress he’s responsible for what happens at Facebook. Increasingly clear Facebook’s privacy problems started in his executive suite. The FTC must leave no stone unturned in its Facebook investigation & hold Zuckerberg accountable by name. https://t.co/McTp1cm2kT — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The United States should end its involvement in the Saudi-led war in Yemen that has resulted in widespread misery, famine, disease, & death. U.S. support for this war betrays our values— & our national interests. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

President Trump’s veto is a show of tacit support for U.S. involvement in a devastating humanitarian disaster. Vetoing a bipartisan, bicameral resolution condemning the United States’ complicity in a humanitarian crisis puts President Trump squarely on the wrong side of history. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This radical decision by Attorney General Barr will result in caging thousands of asylum seekers & create chaos in our immigration system. This is bad—bad policy, bad values, & bad legal reasoning. https://t.co/8Rh5fyb2oN — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I support the Sudanese people & their call for inclusive civilian leadership—a critical step toward democratic elections. I'll be working with my colleagues to consider measures to support a peaceful transition while holding accountable corrupt leaders & human rights abusers. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A week after his nomination vote in the Senate, Interior's watchdog has opened an investigation into Bernhardt. Earlier this year, @SenWarren & I sent a letter warning of his conflicts of interest. These outstanding complaints should've been settled before he was confirmed. — PolitiTweet.org

Notre Dame has been a sacred treasure for hundreds of years. Damage of such a historic landmark of faith & beauty is heartbreaking. My thoughts are with the people of France, the first responders, & all who mourn this loss. — PolitiTweet.org
