I’m persuaded by those who thought I meant to be using the word “treason” literally — despite my use of the phrase “would appear to be” — that I should’ve been more careful: Because we’re not at war with Russia, treason prosecutions should be off the table. Sorry if I misled you. — PolitiTweet.org

Led by Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson, the GOP’s Trump wing appears to be throwing its weight behind Putin. If Putin opts to wage war on our ally, Ukraine, such “aid and comfort” to an “enemy” would appear to become “treason” as defined by Article III of the U.S. Constitution — PolitiTweet.org

If Art. II’s list of qualif’s for the presidency can’t be enlarged by statute, 18 USC.§2071(f)’s disqualif from fed office for anyone removing or mutilating official records can’t keep Trump from running again but that’s no excuse for not prosecuting him for that & other crimes — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Reminder to AG Merrick Garland: 18 U.S.C.§ 2071 not only makes concealing, removing or mutilating official records a 3-year federal felony but prohibits anyone convicted of doing so from ever holding federal office. Just thought you might have a passing interest. — PolitiTweet.org

POTUS “exclusively responsible” to preserve his WH records, 44USC1303; “remove/destroy”is fed crime that “disqualifies” from “holding any office,” 18USC2071. This alone demands prosecution and disqualification. AG cd toss in seditious conspiracy & insurrection for good measure. — PolitiTweet.org

Right! When the former guy confesses in plain that he tried to “overturn the election” and believes he was (and remains) entitled to do just that, he is testing whether we have a real Department of Justice or just a poor facsimile that rolls over and plays dead when threatened. — PolitiTweet.org

An innovative First Amendment lawsuit with potential to improve many lives. Restricting where low-income Americans can get free, routine legal advice are harmful and unconstitutional. We must expand the supply of help to achieve equal rights for all. https://t.co/t5nttquwik — PolitiTweet.org

This game-changing indictment for INSURRECTION spells the start of criminal accountability for all who tried to overthrow America to install a despot in power. But the ultimate plotters and planners must not be permitted to escape or they’ll do it again. https://t.co/Vrt8JLWZX4 — PolitiTweet.org

Of the four seditionists who pleaded guilty, this cooperating defendant seems most likely to help DOJ uncover the guilt of those higher up on the poisonous food chain https://t.co/61ZXeeMRuq — PolitiTweet.org

We’re exactly 300 days from the midterms. Not the happiest of thoughts. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

So this was both (1) seditious conspiracy (18 USC 2384) and (2) conspiracy corruptly to obstruct and impede an official proceeding (18 USC 1512(c)(2)), each a very serious federal felony — in case you we’re wondering, Mr. Attorney General. . . . — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

The key is to insist that AG Garland include Trump in a full-blown criminal investigation of all the leaders of the attempted coup and the insurrection. Pronouncing anyone’s guilt at the outset won’t persuade Garland. Instead, it could just turn him off. — PolitiTweet.org

Early studies show Omicron replicates about 70 times faster than Delta, so an infected person could show a negative test in the AM, then be infectious by PM. Even we were to blanket the country with billions of tests, we’d still guidance on how to react to test results. — PolitiTweet.org

https://t.co/uAU58JWky9 Letting abortion clinics sue to challenge SB-8 but leaving that outrageous six-week abortion ban remain in place -- just as it was clear this radically right-wing Court would do -- reaffirms my view that this Court needs major reform and needs it NOW. — PolitiTweet.org
