LATEST NEWS: DOJ has now obtained a warrant to search John Eastman’s cellphone. DOJ has had the phone since June 22. Now it has judicial permission to search its contents. To get that warrant, DOJ had to specify the crimes it has good cause to believe the contents will reveal. — PolitiTweet.org

Calling the D.O.J.’s investigation of him a “disgrace,” Trump warned, “If I can be accused of being a President, then anyone can. This should never be allowed to happen in our country.” https://t.co/V8Og3PmmIC — PolitiTweet.org

Forced birth kills more women than it saves fetuses. So how is it “pro-life”? https://t.co/H2NEGyXfHM — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll be @andersoncooper’s first guest tonight at 8 pm ET on @CNN on @AC360 to discuss Trump’s likely future as the first ex-president ever to be criminally indicted. Hope you tune in! — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

It seems fitting that the first criminally indicted ex-POTUS would be a disgraced, twice-impeached ex-president who lost his re-election bid badly — and then committed several federal crimes, including fomenting a violent insurrection, trying to overturn that electoral defeat — PolitiTweet.org

Repulsive and dangerous. Saving the American experiment from these minitrumpers requires voting en masse to defeat them this November https://t.co/XjMFKz8gMh — PolitiTweet.org

Norman Lear is a national treasure. Happy 100th Birthday, Norman. You deserve to celebrate — and you still have a lot to teach the rest of us. https://t.co/VwmKPxnd3i — PolitiTweet.org

It’s the questions prosecutors are asking in the grand jury — “What did Trump say? To whom? How did he react?” — that’s the kind of question you ask only if you already know the answer and are pinning down witness testimony for a criminal trial of Trump https://t.co/TNOramGcNW — PolitiTweet.org

In most of America, “prayer” will by default mean Christian prayer, leaving many children alienated and isolated — while those who do not practice any faith worry their children will be coerced into espousing values and beliefs their parents don’t share. https://t.co/titZZCiHjR — PolitiTweet.org

@gtconway3d: “If you’d asked me to hypothesize, for illustrative purposes, a set of emails that prosecutors would find helpful in proving a fake-elector fraud conspiracy, I wouldn’t have come up with anything nearly as incriminating as the emails that the Times just reported on.” — PolitiTweet.org

AZ atty Wilenchik had been discussing an idea proposed by Kenneth Chesebro, an ally of Mr. Eastman’s, to submit slates of Trump electors in GA, WI, AZ, PA, etc, even though the votes aren’t legal — so Congress can fight on 1/6 about whether to count them https://t.co/TemdRT3v6m — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s a slice of my interview by @Lawrence O’Donnell: How Garland’s DOJ is going to hold Trump and his henchmen criminally accountable for trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election . . . https://t.co/ZSPZyAMq5I — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Jones created a “massive campaign of lies” and recruited “wild extremists from the fringes of the internet . . . who were as cruel as Jones wanted them to be” to the families of the 20 murdered first-graders and six educators https://t.co/4zVaRyurmR — PolitiTweet.org

So it has begun. Expect the pace to accelerate. I imagine @Lawrence O'Donnell will ask me about this -- along with his questions about the AG's interview by Lester Holt -- in MSNBC's 10 pm ET hour tonight. https://t.co/0Qq61OvUbI — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

I do wonder why Lester Holt didn’t ask AG Garland about letting the clock run out on these clearly provable obstruction of justice criminal charges against Trump — PolitiTweet.org

Such a cool portrait of a humongous planet! — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

I’ll be reacting to Lester Holt’s prime-time NBC interview of AG Merrick Garland on @TheLastWord with @Lawrence O’Donnell early in his 10 pm ET hour. I’ll do my best to translate from Garlandese to plain English. What is he telling us? And does it meet the moment? — PolitiTweet.org

“Unlike the phony elector scheme, which has many potential targets (e.g., Eastman, Clark, the electors themselves), the only real target in the Pence pressure campaign would be Trump.” @JRubinBlogger nails it! https://t.co/abCkPhoLYn — PolitiTweet.org

The stunning level of detail in this blow-by-blow account of the Chief Justice’s failed efforts to turn Kavanaugh shows both @JoanBiskupic’s unique skills at getting law clerks to betray their promises of confidentiality and how SCOTUS leaks like a sieve https://t.co/lhXRk0Yupn — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Bannon is the evil brain inside Trump’s roomy skull. 💀 He’s Donald’s nihilistic Svengali. He and the dirty trickster Roger Stone pull the strings. A scarier pair we’ve never seen so close to total power. . . . https://t.co/v3ePV9pk3L — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll believe this when I see it. It’d be a rare bit of welcome news! https://t.co/lSxWHmhpfo — PolitiTweet.org

“Determining the precise moment when someone’s life or health is so threatened that abortion would be legal under a particular law is rarely an ethically answerable scientific question.” So the “life or health” exceptions are basically cruel illusions. https://t.co/gFJREh9Dwf — PolitiTweet.org

“You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-cop. You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-democracy. You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-America.” — President Joe Biden, July 25, 2022 — PolitiTweet.org

Former VP Pence’s chief of staff Mark Short, who testified to DOJ’s January 6 grand jury last Friday, told ABC News: “If the mob had gotten closer to the Vice President… there would have been a massacre in the Capitol that day.” Short is now cooperating with DOJ. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

I’ll be listening — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Greg Jacob testified too! So not only Mark Short. Closing in! https://t.co/Hf80D3K2Re — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Yes, they sure have. Straight to the big guy. The one who couldn’t tolerate the idea of losing — and who’d stop at nothing to hold onto power, whatever crimes he’d have to commit . . . — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

So it’s clear the DOJ Jan 6 grand jury is finally going for the jugular: It’s targeting Trump’s role in criminally pressuring his own VP to help him overturn his 2020 loss to Biden. AG Garland is on the right track. Now he just needs to step on the gas https://t.co/5tDEi4GcSg — PolitiTweet.org
