"We hear a lot these days that liberalism is under threat...But in recent years, the political faith that’s really gotten the stuffing knocked out of it is conservatism. It didn’t begin with Trump, but Trump made matters significantly worse..." https://t.co/jZmOx09rQc — PolitiTweet.org

"...a maxim that the writer Tom Scocca first proffered on Twitter in 2016 at the dawn of the Trump era. 'Nothing about Trump has ever looked kinda bad at first but turned out OK,' Scocca wrote. 'He’s always worse than you thought.'" https://t.co/vpL9RjGzcR — PolitiTweet.org

"A political class that can’t defend the constitutional order and the rule of law is worse than useless...Trump attacked the very heart of our system of government. If the system can’t respond to that forcefully, it doesn’t deserve to exist anymore..." https://t.co/6YfUX962CU — PolitiTweet.org

"Stradley, a retired truck driver who considers himself an independent, voted for Herrera Beutler in the primary. But he’ll be backing Gluesenkamp Perez this fall...[Her] chances will depend on how many Herrera Beutler supporters like Stradley are there." https://t.co/79z9Z4lqfV — PolitiTweet.org

I have no opinion about the Finnish prime minister, but somehow this video reminded me of Churchill in 1940 on Finland—“superb, nay sublime,” where “the light of freedom…still burns so brightly in the frozen North.” https://t.co/7BZ9TxSjV9 — PolitiTweet.org

So WH Counsel had told COS Meadows that material in boxes in the residence needed to be sent to the archives--but Trump insisted at least some of it, including documents marked highly classified, be shipped to Florida. Trump knew he was breaking the law. https://t.co/2KGnDSLamM — PolitiTweet.org

"Team Normal wants Trump to go away. But Team Normal cannot appear to want Trump to go away. And so they wind up pushing back against and defending Trump from the processes that could drive him out of American politics. This isn’t new in human affairs." https://t.co/vnOZCWD8os — PolitiTweet.org

6. This probably makes it more important for those of us on the outside to weigh in and explain what's going on--the indefensibility of what Trump did and the reckless cynicism of what he's now doing. But explaining this clearly won't be easy, and how to do so isn't obvious. END — PolitiTweet.org

5. Of course whatever Trump's thinking, DOJ has to play it straight down the middle and make judgments on the legal merits. And the White House can't comment, and elected Democrats probably should stay out of it so it doesn't look like a partisan prosecution (which it isn't!). — PolitiTweet.org

4. And that a DOJ decision not to charge, or legal fights before a trial in which Trump presents himself as a victim of the government, or if it gets to trial, a hung jury, are all good outcomes? So Trump may have a political strategy here that's bewildering as a legal strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

3. But perhaps Trump thinks being persecuted by Biden's DOJ helps him politically (especially in a GOP primary), and he's confident he won't actually be charged or at least that he won't be convicted? — PolitiTweet.org

2. In the case of Trump, wouldn't it be hard for DOJ to say no to such an offer? And the case would be over. But now Trump risks being charged with a felony for which there seems to be a lot of evidence of guilt. — PolitiTweet.org

1. Non-lawyer here, with a speculation on Trump's legal "strategy". Given the facts, I assume a "normal" defendant would be thrilled if he could get DOJ to agree to a misdemeanor plea and fine--"gee, it was all a misunderstanding, you've got the docs back, let's call it a day." — PolitiTweet.org

As usual, a very interesting @SarahLongwell25 Focus Group podcast, this time on FL politics with @MarcACaputo. I'm not really up on today's Florida (the FL I knew better featured Wolfie's and Don Shula), but I'm sticking to my view that Val defeats Marco. https://t.co/f7SRxzKgwZ — PolitiTweet.org

"Lake endorsed Jarrin Jackson—an OK legislator who has proclaimed that 'the Jews' are evidence that 'evil exists' and that 'Jews will go to hell.'" RGA says they'll spend big on Lake's behalf. Seems like every GOP governor should be asked about this. https://t.co/lKWujJCEFX — PolitiTweet.org

Excellent reporting (with quiet help 🗡️, I suspect, from Team Mitch!) on the failures of Rick Scott's NRSC. "The NRSC [has raised] $173m...[It] has burned through nearly all of it...spending just $23m on ads...[It] spent at least $13m on consultants." https://t.co/A64MxorD3R — PolitiTweet.org
