True enough. But making clear that the ongoing inquiry is an essential step toward deciding whether or not to impeach shores up the path Congress appears to have chosen. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve expressed no views on the choice between these two statutory avenues for making Treasury show Trump’s tax returns to Congress. My focus now is on the big picture. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Still more contempt of Congress. Call the Trumpsters’ bluff. Use the inherent contempt power of the House to compel compliance with steep fines and even arrest. Put the burden of seeking judicial relief on the scofflaws and stonewallers. Enough already! https://t.co/sKtzLzwq6Y — PolitiTweet.org

How can I put it more simply? Based on watching him for decades, I believe @BernieSanders is a phony. Not a monster like @realDonaldTrump but a phony. I’d prefer him massively over Trump. But I’d prefer a cardboard box over Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

When @BernieSanders says he’s not out to attack his “friend” @JoeBiden — and then launches into a slashing and unfair attack — he confirms my sense that he’s anything but a straight shooter. I’d obviously vote for Bernie over Trump, but I’d be holding my nose all the way. — PolitiTweet.org

Beyond the risk that Trump loses and won’t leave we must be ready for a genuinely disputed outcome.Absent a really decisive win for one side or the other, we must be as prepared to dispute the 2020 outcome as to defend it because Trump’s cheating could cut in either direction. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

It’s hard to disagree with what @RonaldKlain says here about @JoeBiden and what’s needed now. But I’m not ready to write off @PeteButtigieg, @ewarren, @RepBetoORourke, or @SenKamalaHarris. The need to defeat @realDonaldTrump decisively trumps all else. https://t.co/5DmSX1vEs4 — PolitiTweet.org

This is a prequel of what Trump has in store for America. His monumental stupidity doesn’t prevent him from learning from the tyrants he admires and seeks to emulate. @RonaldKlain @HardballChris @AriMelber @maddow @Lawrence @SpeakerPelosi @RepAdamSchiff https://t.co/ZliFAuEfdi — PolitiTweet.org

Whether this unprecedented prosecutorial consensus will register on the seismograph of public opinion is impossible to predict. But it clearly should. This is volcanic. It’s HUGE. Only 45’s office shields him from likely felony conviction and imprisonment https://t.co/1SSpBCfx6N — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll be talking about #ImpeachmentNOW with @HardballChris on MSNBC at 7:15 eastern, right after my terrific former student Rep. @jamie_raskin. Hope you tune in to both conversations! — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

It’s not alarmist to doubt that 45 won’t go quietly. It’d be alarming if people actually trusted him to respect any election result other than one in which his collusion with Putin and the metastasized Cambridge Analytica named him the winner. https://t.co/WQxCjm7EUO — PolitiTweet.org

This! — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Of course in the end @Will_Bunch agrees with me that impeaching 45 may well be the right thing to do regardless of the political ammo it could give Trump and the GOP. I tweeted his column because it puts well the risks of that moral course — just as my book with @JoshuaMatz8 did. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Trump’s preposterous effort to stop Mueller from testifying about his report gives the lie to Trump’s pretense that the report exonerates him of collusion and obstruction. If he believed Mueller exonerated him, he’d obviously want Mueller to shout his innocence from the rooftops. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Trump may be counting on a S.Ct. coup like Bush v Gore to wrest victory from the jaws of electoral defeat. If so, I’d bet against him. If he plans to stage his own coup, I’d count on the judiciary, the military, and, ultimately, a popular uprising to stop him. Best = landslide. — PolitiTweet.org

Article 3 of the Impeachment Articles against Nixon charged him with defying Congress’s subpoenas. Trump is following Nixon’s example. https://t.co/nHXKsYfqZJ — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Here he is again claiming his right to an extra two years as POTUS if only he could “get back” the time “stolen” by the Mueller probe. This is as loud a warning as anyone could ask for: Trump has no intention of leaving his sinecure and exposing himself to jail time. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

This is the astonishing @JerryFalwellJr tweet that President Trump retweeted without comment. It repeats a Trump refrain that cannot safety be ignored. The man is threatening not to leave office in 2021 even if we vote him out! — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

That Trump would retweet this ⁦@JerryFalwellJr⁩ call for his term to be extended by two years is a threat not to be taken lightly https://t.co/Q3W6w7eiAo — PolitiTweet.org

The thinking of the late Gene Sharp, a visionary nonviolent opponent of autocratic regimes everywhere, may become essential reading in the U.S. before too long. I’d suggest familiarizing yourself with his works: https://t.co/SfwyNxMITh — PolitiTweet.org

Only a dictator would have power to stop someone in Mueller’s position from testifying to a duly authorized legislative or parliamentary inquiry into the leader’s wrongdoing. And only a dictator with a lot to hide would try to invoke such power. https://t.co/3QDa2C1eJT — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

With respect to my friend @RepTedLieu, this is WISHFUL THINKING. Trump’s obstruction is WORKING, not BACKFIRING. We must become realistic, or we’ll all sink together. In courage, solidarity, but ignominious DEFEAT — not just for us, but for America, the “last best hope of earth.” — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Having moved toward the view that impeachment even with assured acquittal would be better than setting the awful precedent that virtually nothing warrants impeachment, I feel a responsibility to share this powerful argument the other way by @Will_Bunch: https://t.co/yFsmdTdPxd — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

I can’t believe I’m finding myself agreeing with @realDonaldTrump on this one. I’ll admit to being no expert on racing rules, so of course I may be all wet. But still, I thought fairness required me to mark this rare occasion tweetwise 😎 — PolitiTweet.org

The jailers responsible for this outrageous torture should be prosecuted, jailed, and never be entrusted with power again. https://t.co/XBKuIEtl5x — PolitiTweet.org
