Trump’s willingness to admit publicly that he might need Ukraine’s help to defeat Biden in 2020 suggests that more than vanity must be motivating his obsessive denial of Russia’s role in his defeat of Hillary in 2016. @NicolleDWallace @AriMelber @Lawrence @maddow @RepAdamSchiff — PolitiTweet.org

$25,000 per day for defying a congressional subpoena might not be noticeable to the richest of the Trumpsters but could perhaps focus the minds of some in his circle like Barr or McGahn . . . — PolitiTweet.org

“Even as [45] flaunts his disregard for constitutional basics, [Dems] would be best served by honing their legal strategy while avoiding political stunts.” — NYT. Fine. But House #ImpeachmentHearingsNow wd be no “stunt,” 51 GOP Senators notwithstanding. https://t.co/2GqVjVCp6S — PolitiTweet.org

As co-author of “To End A Presidency: The Power of Impeachment,” I set out criteria for #ImpeachmentHearingsNow. Those criteria have been met and are being exceeded. Caution must not become cowardice. Read @michelleinbklyn’s call to action: https://t.co/goPFq1uAhz — PolitiTweet.org

“Ukraine, if you’re listening . . . Oh, hell, why don’t you just go there and get their help face-to-face, Rudy?” — not a quote from Trump, but sounds about right, doesn’t it? https://t.co/rrgFJBqpdy — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is sending Giuliani to Ukraine to get its government to help Trump win reelection by hurting Joe Biden’s family. Read that a few times and ask yourself: How is that not an impeachable offense in broad daylight? — PolitiTweet.org

This @TimothyDSnyder essay merits five readings. I’m on my fourth. It’s either the most profound meditation on our current situation or . . . a close facsimile. Don’t be afraid to tackle it. It could be the most important thing you’ll ever read. Or not. https://t.co/iYMcR2q7Ad — PolitiTweet.org

So William Barr just joked about the honor of being voted in contempt by the House Judiciary Committee in his first 100 days as Attorney General. Ha ha. Very funny. History will have the last laugh, Bill. — PolitiTweet.org

.@ericswalwell is moving in the right direction but not far enough. People need to understand that losing the rule of law is no mere abstraction. But Eric hasn’t yet brought this down to the kitchen table where it belongs. More is needed to dramatize the stakes for each of us. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve been urging that this power not be retired just yet, given its Supreme Court pedigree (1927, reaffirmed 1972), despite claims that it’s no longer “normal.” But an abnormal presidency may require abnormal measures. At least don’t rule them out! https://t.co/K86TmtUExB — PolitiTweet.org

I rarely tweet purely political news, but this seems big. It’s early yet, but my eyes are now on @BetoORourke, @PeteButtigieg, @JoeBiden, @ewarren, @KamalaHarris, @CoryBooker & @amyklobuchar — not necessarily in that order. FWIW, which isn’t much! https://t.co/quBkcj945k — PolitiTweet.org

The scary thing is that the judge might “enforce” her order by dismissing charges against Stone unless Barr complies! How convenient: this spares 45 the need to obstruct justice by pardoning Stone! @AriMelber @maddow @Lawrence https://t.co/uXsE1oBAan https://t.co/uXsE1oBAan — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s hope SCOTUS finds this carefully reasoned decision a persuasive guide rather than a minor diversion from a settled determination to leave partisan gerrymandering beyond the reach of federal judicial supervision. https://t.co/JU14vPAf17 — PolitiTweet.org

I’m interviewed here by @guardian about what @RepJerryNadler and @SpeakerPelosi are now calling a #ConstitutionalCrisis, one caused by the #TrumpStonewall that has finally brought our foundational #SeparationOfPowers to the brink of collapse https://t.co/m1wbEw5Nyq — PolitiTweet.org

Super important @maddow but many of us have been saying it for over a month. The catch is that this exception says “may” rather than “shall.” Still, it gives the lie to Barr’s claim that only a court can authorize release of the 6(e) grand jury material in the Mueller report. — PolitiTweet.org

Only the truth about who’s pulling Trump’s financial strings will set us free. Our liberty, as well as the law, demands that Mnuchin and Rettig release his tax returns NOW. https://t.co/uxr7HOwB1O — PolitiTweet.org

This suit challenging President Trump’s actions abusing his powers to penalize and silence his media critics is legally sound and should prevail. @ianbassin @Lawrence @AriMelber @chrislhayes @amjoyshow @NicolleDWallace https://t.co/nKFTdbXwCu — PolitiTweet.org

Sadly, I agree with Linda Greenhouse that if the census case goes the way the oral argument seemed to go, the losers will include both constitutional democracy in general and the credibility of the Supreme Court in particular. https://t.co/eQh6HSnUo1 — PolitiTweet.org

This ongoing crisis must be at the top of every candidate’s agenda. We owe at least that degree of effort to these young heroes and to the still nameless kids who may yet fall victim to preventable gun violence https://t.co/hTDalE8kC4 — PolitiTweet.org

This new @RepAdamSchiff subpoena focuses on our nation’s security going forward. Defying it would be worse than contempt of Congress. It would be a betrayal of the United States. https://t.co/RnbVdlIJWC — PolitiTweet.org
