Interesting development: one that both (a) underscores the seriousness and depth of Smith’s efforts and (b) highlights the problems of triage and prioritization he confronts — problems that would be way less severe if AG Garland had acted more swiftly . . . — PolitiTweet.org

Highly recommend that you read this graphic novel by my colleague @ajjenkins’s book. Professor Alan Jenkins asks the crucial question: What if the Jan. 6 attack had succeeded? https://t.co/VVrvfVFws6 — PolitiTweet.org

Special Counsel Smith is “set to make critical decisions about whether to bring charges, possibly in a matter of weeks, according to people familiar with the matter.” The tough decisions involve triage: whom to charge with which crimes in what sequence https://t.co/ahbVsDKLEz — PolitiTweet.org

Two years ago today, Jan 6, 2021, a date that will live in infamy, violent insurrectionists led by the defeated president Donald J. Trump obstructed the transition of power to the incoming government. Their insurrection continues to this day as it paralyzes the U.S. House. — PolitiTweet.org

On January 5, 2023, South Carolina Supreme Court finds abortion protected by state constitution’s right to privacy. No basis for SCOTUS to review that decision. Thank goodness! https://t.co/dnz8UGGTxb — PolitiTweet.org

The Capitol is a building that definitely exists. “But if the House of Representatives has no members who have taken the oath of office, does it exist?” If a tree falls . . .  https://t.co/dkOktkmbm5 — PolitiTweet.org

Oath-Keeper Caleb “Berry testified this week that the extremists hatched an explicit plan to enter the Capitol and stop the certification of Joe Biden’s presidential victory.” No riot gone awry but a premeditated plot — a seditious conspiracy. https://t.co/DaDZko9LMI — PolitiTweet.org

“Continuing vigilance in the next two years by citizens committed to keeping our republic will help energize a nationwide campaign to defeat the radical House majority in 2024,” but until then a Party divided against itself cannot lead the House. Scary. https://t.co/iykvwKXpjo — PolitiTweet.org

“Thank God they weren’t in the majority on January 6,” Nancy Pelosi told reporters, “because that was the day you had to be organized to stave off what was happening, to save our democracy, to certify the election of the president.” — PolitiTweet.org

“As we approach the anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack, it’s been grimly amusing to see that the party of insurrection can’t even manage the orderly transfer of power to itself. Rarely does karma play out so neatly.” https://t.co/uT3ffL30c8 — PolitiTweet.org

“If there’s a real emergency, we couldn’t respond,” said Representative Jerrold Nadler (D.NY)“Either the Republicans don’t understand that, or they do understand and they don’t care. I don’t know which is worse, but it is a profound danger to the country as long as it lasts.” — PolitiTweet.org

Too few people seem to notice that it’s really dangerous for the United States to have no functioning House of Representatives. There are things a president can’t do alone. Eg, only Congress has the power of the purse. Wake up, folks! — PolitiTweet.org
