A good NPR interview on 6/28/22 of Judge Nancy Gertner and me about the explosive Cassidy Hutchinson testimony . . . and the continuing need to expand the Court: from 6:10 to 28:30 on @YouTube: https://t.co/cmVXHZVpdS — PolitiTweet.org

Memo to Attorney General Garland: You no longer have a choice. I trust DOJ is already investigating the former president for the several federal crimes he has almost certainly committed. And if he wasn’t the target of the grand jury investigation yesterday, he must be today. — PolitiTweet.org

“As for the deadenders like Meadows who cower in the shadows and let people like his former aide bear the risks of speaking the truth, their continued complicity is disgraceful. Her testimony stands in stark contrast with their betrayal of public service.” https://t.co/vIuJZP0fKb — PolitiTweet.org

While #CassidyHutchinson woke a sleeping giant with her riveting testimony, #ClarenceThomas set a ticking time bomb under the free press that brought her courage to light. My coauthored @guardian op-ed explains: https://t.co/FQuNvENcsH — PolitiTweet.org

Will anything ever break the spell of Trump? This piece plausibly argues “it might, if not with his most fervent loyalists, then at least with a critical mass of his voters.” https://t.co/iVcXl4htAf — PolitiTweet.org

Don’t over-worry what exactly transpired in the presidential limo. CH’s really damning testimony seems irrefutable: Trump actively encouraged the violent insurrection by ordering that heavily armed men be welcomed to the mob because he knew they weren’t out to harm HIM. — PolitiTweet.org

Another @BorowitzReport special: spot on — priceless. https://t.co/AvYilmG3hF — PolitiTweet.org

Absolutely. This new evidence is devastating for inciting, aiding and abetting violent insurrection. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

What's equally shocking is that, having watched Trump for the past few years, nobody could truly be surprised at any of what we learned today. Shocked and disgusted for sure. Really surprised? Probably not. — PolitiTweet.org

"Trump knew the crowd he amassed in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021, was armed and could turn violent, but wanted security precautions lifted because he said his supporters were not there to attack HIM." himhttps://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/06/28/us/jan-6-hearing-today?smid=tw-share — PolitiTweet.org

I love this visual aid, @AshaRangappa_ It's a perfect teaching tool as well as a great investigatory and prosecutorial guide. And fun to boot! — PolitiTweet.org

This explanation of why Dobbs may be the worst SCOTUS decision ever -- and no, Eric Freedman hasn't forgotten about Dred Scott -- is a keeper. What to do about the Court now is a different and difficult matter, but letting things stay the way they are is totally unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Whatever anybody says about reluctance to indict Trump — reluctance I abhor — failing to indict Mark Meadows along with Jeffrey Clark, John Eastman, Rudy Giuliani, and Sidney Powell would be a travesty. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Exactly right. And let’s not expect this courageous young woman to deliver the moon. Raising the bar too high will lead to inevitable disappointment at a time when people of good will need hope grounded in reality, not despair grounded in fantasy. — PolitiTweet.org

Did you know that the burgeoning science of gene editing, CRISPR, which I bet will be threatened by Dobbert, is an acronym for “Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats”? I sure as hell didn’t. But google . . . — PolitiTweet.org

I’m old enough to remember when “alternative facts” weren’t a thing Supreme Court Justices would invent in order to drive a religious and political results-driven agenda they took with them to the Court. With religion, abortion, and guns this bunch has. https://t.co/35JvRwglli — PolitiTweet.org

This is real time witness tampering especially if the witness is Meadows’ COS Cassidy Hutchinson rather than Meadows himself! — PolitiTweet.org

A photo is worth 1,000 words. One in a SCOTUS dissent that exposes the majority as lying — or, more gently put, resting on “alternative facts” — is worth 1,000 times 1,000: — PolitiTweet.org

As each new terrible, horrible, awful substantive SCOTUS decision drops, remember how much this Court’s anti-voting rights, anti-democracy rulings reduce our opportunities to fix things without directly changing the Court itself . https://t.co/M8y4aX4EWF — PolitiTweet.org

My hunch is that the #SurpriseWitness will meet and surpass @JohnWDean’s Alex Butterfield threshold. Tick tok — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s a legal factoid: What this decision establishes as a precedent is way less than sweeping and dangerous than what it would’ve established if Gorsuch had been honest about the facts. https://t.co/35JvRwglli — PolitiTweet.org

At least some of the trigger bans, and the laws waiting in the wings for Dobbert raise legal issues worth pursuing -- issues not wholly foreclosed by Dobbert. Some of the inevitable litigation will do little beyond buying time for some desperate women. But that's a worthy goal. — PolitiTweet.org
