“Awakened by the traumatic Trump experience to the more permanent frailties and limitations of our governing system, we should not waste this unique opportunity to simultaneously tackle a festering crisis of democracy itself.” https://t.co/VxdLeJUlmi — PolitiTweet.org

“A norm is being broken in which Congress does not “monkey with a presidential election absent ample evidence, which means that if Democrats control of the Senate, they must consider amending the Electoral Count Act to prevent future such abuses.” https://t.co/AB4tiCi4LK — PolitiTweet.org

“It’s important to underscore that the justification for objecting to Biden electors — numerous claims of fraud that have already been shot down in dozens of court rulings — is just as baseless as the one that Trump used to demand vote-rigging in Georgia.” https://t.co/AB4tiCi4LK — PolitiTweet.org

These 7 pages make marvelous reading. Judge Boasberg knows how to cut a case to ribbons and tie the ribbons into knots when there’s no there there. And here he called out the abusive lawyers at the end just as he should have. — PolitiTweet.org

“Fani Willis, the newly elected DA of Georgia’s Fulton County, said her office stands ready to prosecute Trump for telling Secy of State Raffensperger in a phone call Saturday to ‘find’ him enough votes to overturn Biden’s narrow win in the state.“ https://t.co/z4FHD7xJbP — PolitiTweet.org

“Whatever lurid message was intended, it underscored the real need to hope that what happens this week, in Congress and in the streets, does not portend the savage devolution of self-government that the pig head represents in “Lord of the Flies.” https://t.co/RN8DVAk9ZV — PolitiTweet.org

“If the Republic gets through the next two weeks without a catastrophe, we must surely take steps to protect ourselves against the next would-be authoritarian, which could well be Trump himself in 2024.” https://t.co/PVlagUByQ9 — PolitiTweet.org

“Dominion Voting Systems plans to sue attorney Sidney Powell ‘imminently’ for defamation, and is continuing to explore similar suits against President Trump and others, company founder and CEO John Poulos told the Axios Re:Cap podcast on Monday.” YES! https://t.co/9s9kPLgD2y — PolitiTweet.org

I rarely disagree with my friend @neal_katyal but see no point in urging what will never occur. True, we can’t afford “Mr. Trump’s becoming president again — or for that matter, even running again with a chance of winning,” but this isn’t the right way. https://t.co/25CuBhR1SB — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s why I think it’s imperative that federal and state criminal investigations into Donald Trump’s apparent criminal actions proceed once he leaves office. @GlobeOpinion. I’ll discuss this and the pardons on CNN with @ErinBurnett at 7:15 EST tonight https://t.co/lHrFASWzVB — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Trump didn’t ask for a recount; he pressured GA’s SOS to just “announce” a new vote total showing him beating Biden, saying “You know, that you’ve recalculated.” Like pressing Zalinski just to announce he was investigating Biden https://t.co/NkTRuHc2BY — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

It would be hard for FBI Director Chris Wray NOT to open a criminal investigation of Trump under 18 USC sec. 875 (extortion by threatening to accuse another of crime to gain a thing of value) and 52 USC sec. 20511 (attempting to procure materially false ballot tabulation) — PolitiTweet.org

From Adam Schiff’s prophetic Feb 3. 2020 summation at Trump’s impeachment trial: "What are the odds if left in office that he will continue trying to cheat? I will tell you: 100 percent. A man without character or ethical compass will never find his way." https://t.co/faaOKvFR0y — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Extortion, solicitation of fake ballot counts, federal and state crimes galore in that astounding hour+ long call. Sounded like a typical mob boss, but not a very smart one. @danielsgoldman is surely right that the evidence revealed by that one call is sufficient to charge crimes — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s the best nonpartisan guide to what will go down on Wednesday January 6 in the Joint Session of the House and Senate: https://t.co/q5Z91GsO9Y — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

POLITICO: Trump claimed Sunday morning Raffensperger was “unwilling, or unable, to answer” questions about his baseless claims of widespread voter fraud. “Respectfully, President Trump: What you're saying is not true,” Raffensperger ~ 10:27 a.m. “The truth will come out.” It has. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

POLITICO: “The call took place Saturday afternoon: ‘Mr. President,’ announced Mark Meadows, the White House chief of staff, at the top of the call, ‘everyone is on the line.’” “Little did he know.” Everyone meant all 330 million of us, plus, oh, a few billion. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Listen to Trump’s whole call for yourself and consider — even if you voted for him — whether you really feel safe with the powers of the presidency, including the nuclear codes, in the hands of someone this desperate, delusional, and frankly demented. https://t.co/Afj8nxrevK — PolitiTweet.org

@SenatorRomney : “The egregious ploy to reject electors may enhance the political ambition of some, but dangerously threatens our Democratic Republic…I could never have imagined seeing these things in the greatest democracy in the world. Has ambition so eclipsed principle?” Yes — PolitiTweet.org

“There’s nothing wrong with saying, you know, um, that you’ve recalculated,” Trump said on the tape obtained by the Post Jan 3. “All I want to do is this: I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state.” “RECALCULATED” Who’s he kidding? — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

So Trump is now suing over the leaked tape! He obviously realizes how incriminating it is. What a devastating turn of events for this criminal president — & for Perdue and Loeffler. Couldn’t happen to a nicer crew. As @Scaramucci just said, they need to be “smashed politically.” — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

So Donald Trump has committed a serious crime in Georgia that wouldn’t be washed away even by a presidential self-pardon if such a thing could be pulled off — which it can’t. — PolitiTweet.org

Good for @chiproytx. What’s good for the goose is good for the Duck à l'orange — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Exactly. The Articles of Impeachment charged a corrupt pattern to subvert democratic elections and the rule of law for personal and political gain. — PolitiTweet.org
