“No wonder a series of judges have slammed Barr for dishonesty in connection with all this,” @NormEisen writes. “It’s garbage. Anyone else woulda been prosecuted. Barr should be disciplined.” https://t.co/Yl7EPOX7OK — PolitiTweet.org

This was no "Trump lawyer" but Pat Cipollone, White House Counsel. His client was the PRESIDENCY, not Mr. Trump, even when Trump was POTUS. And in that capacity, he told the then incumbent president the 24 boxes of records belonged to the U.S. and had to go to the Nat'l Archives! — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s minions have made these extraordinary security measures essential to protect the lives of those investigating Trump’s apparent crimes. That’s a sad comment on what Trumpism has wrought. — PolitiTweet.org

Having taught law for 50 years, I can confirm @NormEisen's verdict: If this was any law school, the "legal" filing by Trump's new legal team would earn a failing grade. In fact, the students filing it would be asked whether they might consider a different line of study. — PolitiTweet.org

The Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students (“HEROES”) Act of 2003 gave the Sec’y of Education expansive authority to alleviate the hardship federal student loan recipients may suffer as a result of national emergencies — here, the 2020 advent of COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

Oh no! Women might actually DESERVE RIGHTS?! Poor Republicans! What’ll they have to cope with next? So unfair. https://t.co/hMZho7EaT7 — PolitiTweet.org

In a May 2021 email to Trump’s lawyers, National Archives chief counsel Gary Stern said that WH counsel Cipollone had told Trump 24 boxes of materials he kept in the WH residence during his last year as POTUS had to be transferred to the National Archives. https://t.co/gZL4rkYPKj — PolitiTweet.org

Oh, and I receive equally many from The Man Himself, sometimes going under the alias of “President” Donald J. Trump, a title he refuses to admit he is no longer entitled to use, having LOST the November 2020 election to Joseph R. Biden, 46th President of the United States — PolitiTweet.org

@AshaRangappa_ is clearly right. This @wsjournal op-ed is just plain dumb. Its authors are shameless Trump apologists. Their “arguments” aren’t worthy of inclusion in a reputable media outlet. Nor are they serious enough to merit point-by-point rebuttal. — PolitiTweet.org

Just in case you think I’m kidding about being personally thanked by the former president and specially singled out by his first and most beloved son, here’s a screenshot: https://t.co/fBgGR6DTWI — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s a typical example of the emails I’m deeply privileged to receive dozens of times daily from Donald Jr.: “When I checked the Official Roster of my father’s most Ultra MAGA Patriots, your name was at the very top of the list.” That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. — PolitiTweet.org

Oy. But who can blame them for not figuring out how to file their motions to represent Trump in Florida? That’s what they call a “legal matter,” after all. And besides, maybe it’s just a Freudian slip-up. Who really WANTS to represent the former guy, anyway? — PolitiTweet.org

There go all the remaining “who me? what top secret documents?” theories Trump might’ve tried on for size: This was a STAGGERING haul of ultra-top-secret stuff that he stole on his way out the White House door. What were his plans for all these secrets? https://t.co/aWr0PaXs5d — PolitiTweet.org

With Trump digging his own legal grave ever deeper as he creates a veritable indictment-magnet of a moat around Mar-a-Lago, CNN asked me to come on as the first guest in its 7 pm ET hour tonight. Please tune in as Kate Bolduan sits in for Erin Burnett. — PolitiTweet.org

Here it is! Justice Thomas stumping for candidate Herschel Walker. Yup. And Clarence Thomas remains on the Court, wielding vast power over all our lives, including YOUR LIFE AND YOUR BODY. RT if this strikes you as outrageous — or worse. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve never before seen or heard of a sitting SCOTUS justice stumping for a political candidate before. Have you? Please RT if this seems wildly injudicious and unjudicial to you . . . — PolitiTweet.org

Waiting over two weeks to file this urgent privacy-preserving lawsuit suggests it’s just another dumb PR stunt, straight from the well-worn Trump playbook — PolitiTweet.org

Skeptical puts it mildly and ultra-politely. This Trump-appointed federal judge knows a sneaky effort at judge-shopping when she sees it, and she’s having none of it. — PolitiTweet.org
