This is powerful evidence about central participation in the criminal conspiracy to overthrow the duly elected government even before breaching the Capitol! — PolitiTweet.org

“This episode shows the Republican Party could be drifting toward a new norm of refusing to concede — even in landslides.” Once truth vanishes, all bets are off. https://t.co/qSZxbRdSCK — PolitiTweet.org

Today (1/13/21) the Michigan AG criminally referred, to the US Attorney for Michigan, the fake “electors” who forged electoral certificates as part of an apparent 5-state conspiracy to defraud the United States with respect to the 2020 election. The AG is bound to weigh in now. — PolitiTweet.org

Never has a denial of release on parole been more thoroughly considered, more compellingly justified, or more articulately explained. Governor Newsom did the right thing — for justice, for public safety, and in the court of history. https://t.co/saiebZadfk — PolitiTweet.org

Good to see DOJ moving up the ladder, but going after the crime that can be established without proof of force or violence — the failed conspiracy to get officials like the VP to overturn the electoral vote count — needn’t start on the lower rungs. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Of course they should. It’s hard to imagine a reason for AG Garland to see this any other way. Yet he seems to be hesitating. I’m utterly unable to defend what seems to be his snail’s pace. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Yes, his refusal is a form of perverting justice. But there's not enough time for the committee to make him comply through the contempt avenue followed by a criminal referral to DOJ as with Bannon, so here again we need a more proactive DOJ, with a grand jury subpoenaing McCarthy — PolitiTweet.org

For a political party that doesn't really believe in democracy to pull out of these presidential debates seems entirely predictable. Why debate the issues if the issues don't count, truth doesn't matter, and the only election outcome you'll honor is a win? https://t.co/aswnseb3QR — PolitiTweet.org

January 12: The Ohio Supreme Court just rejected redistricting maps for state legislative districts created by the GOP-controlled Redistricting Commission. The maps violated Ohio’s constitution because they “favor[ed] the majority party to [an] overwhelming extent.” Huzzah! — PolitiTweet.org

This is a make or break moment for democracy’s future. Anyone not prepared to set the filibuster aside for this combined voting rights bill is putting personal political ambition ahead of democratic principle — PolitiTweet.org

Batshit crazy and extremely dangerous Marjorie Taylor Greene suggests 'Second Amendment Rights' should be used against Democrats. The walls of her cell — et, office — should be thickly padded. https://t.co/JqDTu2Lk6W — PolitiTweet.org

Just as Trump equates losing with being cheated, Pence equates being held accountable with being politically targeted. This pair is cut from the same whiny, snowflaky cloth. At bottom, they’re sniveling cowards who can dish it out but can’t take it. — PolitiTweet.org

Even without civil war, we’re stuck with a “constitutional design problem that disproportionately tips power toward parts of the country that are most desirous of preserving a white, Christian, patriarchal order that they think of as the ‘real America.’” https://t.co/Tk87ZjD02c — PolitiTweet.org

My opinion piece with Dennis Aftergut on how fast the clock is ticking on what Garland must do about Trump’s pre-Jan. 6 bid to overturn the election, the criminal coup attempt that nearly succeeded without any insurrection @GlobeOpinion https://t.co/vxP41pPYdm via @BostonGlobe — PolitiTweet.org

.@marceelias makes a key point: Because the disqualification provision of sec.3 of the 14th Amendment is mandatory even though not self-implementing, all officials allowing any oath-defying insurrectionist to run for office would themselves be violating the U.S. Constitution. — PolitiTweet.org

"Congress’s power to gather facts to assist in lawmaking efforts is well established," so if they need to defend subpoenas to members of Congress, Democrats have plenty to draw from, @kimwehle writes. She makes a very strong case. https://t.co/i1GzpDtfOO — PolitiTweet.org

When @NormOrnstein talks Senate history, everybody needs to listen. Glad @JoyceWhiteVance RT'd his essay on the Big Myths used to justify the Filibuster . . . — PolitiTweet.org

Wouldn't it be nice to hear that Trump lawyers were also meeting with DOJ prosecutors to discuss his apparent role at the center of both the nonviolent coup attempt and the violent insurrection? Nice but . . . seemingly not. — PolitiTweet.org

“it can be misleading to judge a district based on its shape. Wriggly district boundaries don’t always indicate foul play.” And simple-looking boundaries can conceal sneaky partisan plans https://t.co/yXNv9KRe8T — PolitiTweet.org
