Beware of fake “people” on #Mastodon. I have no account there, but someone pretending to be me and using the moniker [email protected] reposted my tweets for a while, then stopped. They might start up again and post weird shit, falsely attributing it to me. It’s dangerous! — PolitiTweet.org

“Do they have a plan for what to do if they succeed in diminishing respect for the Justice Department and with it society’s confidence in the rule of law? Not likely.” Read this and beware the MAGA jihad against the FBI and the Justice Department. . . https://t.co/NZrHSp2MPs — PolitiTweet.org

Yet another hateful tragedy, attesting to the deadly mix of inadequate firearms regulation coupled with years of exposure to a president who made violence seem an acceptable way of voicing one's views https://t.co/6Eyeo6cDJp — PolitiTweet.org

I noticed my number of followers drop for the first time in a couple weeks right after Trump‘s return was announced. My advice: If you’re following me, don’t depart Twitter, thus diminishing my reach; just don’t pay attention to Trump! https://t.co/oASPKpe6Q6 — PolitiTweet.org

“Smith didn’t leave his job as a war crimes prosecutor in The Hague to preside over a non-case.” Exactly. And the gang of Trump, Bannon, et al. are right to be afraid. Very afraid.  https://t.co/nGsuOiqQK7 — PolitiTweet.org

Under longstanding DOJ regs, 28 CFR § 600, AG Bill Barr’s Special Counsel John Durham couldn’t be removed by AG Merrick Garland except for misconduct. So too Garland’s Special Counsel Jack Smith won’t be removable by a GOP president’s AG unless the regs are repealed. Just saying! — PolitiTweet.org

I’m no Trump fan (!!) and I do think a court could and should find him disqualified under sec 3 of the 14th Amendment as an insurrectionist, but for Congress itself to pass a law finding Trump guilty would violate the Art I Sec 9 ban on bills of attainder https://t.co/YLjqrtyEUD — PolitiTweet.org

Months ago, I urged appointment of a special counsel. More recently, I thought it was too late. Now that I see the details, I think Garland has done exactly the right thing and that Smith is exactly the right prosecutor to take it on. Full speed ahead! https://t.co/k0OD8sZ6DY — PolitiTweet.org

Any momentary delay up front as strategy is calibrated will be more than offset by smoother sailing down the line as the cases are prosecuted by Jack Smith, because there’ll be no need to run tactical decisions by the AG once Smith is in place at the helm of the related cases. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Whatever might’ve been true in theory, AG Garland’s choice of Jack Smith for this special role is more likely to accelerate than delay these vital federal prosecutions. I was where Neal Katyal is — until focusing more concretely on the exact state of play. I now applaud this step — PolitiTweet.org

The canine metaphors are fun but a bit of a distraction: When this Mr. Smith goes to Washington, he will become the fiercest, fairest leader of a prosecutorial team that until now has lacked a leader dedicated to the crimes leading to Jan 6 and those landing in Mar-a-Lago. — PolitiTweet.org

Just a staffing decision. Makes sense. Clearly unlike Cox, Jaworski, Mueller in that key respect. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden Administration Asks SCOTUS to Intervene in Student Loan Forgiveness Fight. In my view, SCOTUS should lift the Circuit Court's injunction. But I'm not betting that it will. https://t.co/n8NX3H0RR8 via @TheNLJ — PolitiTweet.org

If a special counsel was to be appointed, I can think of no-one better suited than Jack Smith. Vast experience prosecuting public corruption cases, treacherous national security violations, and crimes against humanity. Absorbs complex facts instantly. Perfect for Donald Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

This would’ve been unimaginable before Trump’s time as president. He gave permission for all these fascist Anti-Semitic White Nationalists to crawl out from under their rocks and start terrorizing people who assumed nothing like this could stalk the streets of today’s America. — PolitiTweet.org

“In 2008, President Obama was not willing to embrace same-sex marriage. Now, even the Mormon Church has endorsed the bill. A critical mass of Republicans understand that same-sex marriage is here to stay.” That’s true even if SCOTUS overrules Obergefell! https://t.co/saDeM4Kdh3 — PolitiTweet.org
