The record of @judgeluttig’s historic testimony to the J6HC on 6/16/22 isn’t complete without this remarkable PBS interview. I urge everyone to take the time to listen to it in its entirety. — @tribelaw https://t.co/3UKXNPSmEZ — PolitiTweet.org

Does believing you got more votes than your opponent license you: (1) to break the law to keep your opponent from taking office — or (2) to pursue only legal avenues for recourse? Unless you reply (2), the law of the jungle ensues. And this must be the rule for everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

This is indeed authentically @judgeluttig. I know because he and I are in close contact despite our ideological differences. — @tribelaw — PolitiTweet.org

This overlooks the fact that not even a sincere belief in the myth that the election was “stolen” could excuse conspiring with Eastman, Giuliani & others to get the VP, DOJ, & other government officials to violate the Electoral Count Act to remain POTUS https://t.co/KHQ2a50ouX — PolitiTweet.org

The J6HC Is making an increasingly irresistible case that Trump, Eastman, Giuliani, Meadows, and others must be indicted for criminally conspiring to overturn the 2020 election and keep Trump in office past 1/20/21. All The President’s Men Must Be Tried: https://t.co/79MkSuZgNK — PolitiTweet.org

Eastman crossed the line from legal advisor to criminal co-conspirator when he told Pence’s Chief Counsel, Greg Jacob in front of Trump & Pence that his & Ginni’s plan was illegal and wd lose 9-0 but Pence shd do it anyway because SCt wdn’t take the case https://t.co/Z3giVqd7BL — PolitiTweet.org

“Contrary to a popular misconception, when the court has assigned and defined rights, more often than not it has reinforced the rule of powerful and privileged minorities rather than protecting ordinary (let alone marginalized) citizens.” Exactly! https://t.co/TzHPvpRSve — PolitiTweet.org

Who told you it’s legal? That Tris doing it is, if anything, circumstantial evidence to the contrary! — PolitiTweet.org

At 97, Carter is a hugely admirable ex-president. Happy Birthday 🎂 — PolitiTweet.org

.@judgeluttig’s “understated presentation belied the five-alarm fire that was his written statement — a loud and clear warning to a country whose democracy, he said, is on ‘a knife’s edge.’” It was a warning that will ring through the ages. https://t.co/0nBhMdPjeK — PolitiTweet.org

“Building off the work of online researchers, The NYT has come up with a newly detailed view of the Proud Boys’ role in instigating the chaos that consumed the Capitol on 1/6/21.” Remaining to be investigated: any links to Trump’s inner circle & Trump https://t.co/edY2hyuNHp — PolitiTweet.org

To DOJ: As you pursue your investigation into whether Trump INTENDED his lethal 2:24 pm tweet calling Pence a cowardly traitor to enflame the mob into pursuing the VP physically, consider whether someone who DIDN’T have that intent would react like this👇🏼 https://t.co/dlJS3nSTD4 — PolitiTweet.org

This is potentially explosive. Department of Justice leadership should read it as a source of potential investigatory leads. 👇🏼 — PolitiTweet.org

“Maybe our supporters have the right idea,” Mr. Trump was quoted as saying. Mr. Pence, he added, “deserves it.” Add that to the #SmokingGunTweet Trump sent calling Pence a coward who’d betrayed our country, put both in the context of this gallows and . . https://t.co/SzjjpgcyPX — PolitiTweet.org

An excellent overview of an important new lawsuit. Two facets @ElizaFawcett didn’t cover: The push to overturn Oregon v Smith (no religious exemptions from neutral generally applicable crimes), and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (still valid as applied to federal actions) — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Only when @judgeluttig told Vice President Pence in January 2021 that the plan Trump was telling him to execute at the January 6 joint session of Congress would obviously be illegal (and would indeed be a federal crime) that Pence at long last grew what I’ll politely call a spine — PolitiTweet.org

“There are moments where I am deeply, deeply disappointed. And yes, there’ve been moments where I’ve stopped and said, ‘Is this worth it anymore?’ And every time I do that, I lick my wounds for a while. Sometimes I cry. And then I say, okay — let’s fight.” https://t.co/RVEVqAV1Fe — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says he'll "look very, very seriously" at pardoning Capitol rioters if he's ever president again. Other objections aside, the idea of Trump “looking seriously “ at anything is an oxymoron https://t.co/iTxhNa5Hyr # via @HuffPostPol — PolitiTweet.org

“You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone.” Michael Steele’s perfect pop culture invocation on @JoyAnnReid of what “democracy” is saying to those who care more now about the price of gas than about whether the next coup succeeds — a prospect Judge Luttig ominously raised in the hearing — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Here’s a prediction: If Trump and those he used to hold onto power are ever put on trial for their alleged crimes, both the prosecution and the defense will need to re-view “The Wire,” The Sopranos,” and “Macbeth” along with with the U.S. Constitution and The Federalist Papers. — PolitiTweet.org

"Both Judge Luttig's and Pence’s comments make it significantly more difficult for Republicans to argue this wasn’t a big deal. More difficult? I'd call it impossible. https://t.co/NKEBkXSJur — PolitiTweet.org

The heads of DOJ’s national security and criminal divisions have written to the J6 Committee that not granting DOJ access to transcripts complicates the “ability to investigate and prosecute those who engaged in criminal conduct.” So do it now! https://t.co/lyBvLawyWJ — PolitiTweet.org

“As I was taking the Fifth Amendment a hundred times, I realized there must be at least four other amendments, and possibly more than that,” he said. “I started wondering what those amendments were.” — John (the Con) Eastman https://t.co/f7ToAQsTnC — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

By building what @ThePlumLineGS shows was a devastating criminal case against Eastman, the J6 committee demonstrated the guilt of all who worked closely with him — from Chesebro at the bottom to Giuliani in the middle to Trump at the top: https://t.co/EMAcO3vFXg — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

These 8 takeaways pretty well sum up the most effective day yet of the J6 Committee’s 3 days of public hearings. And we still have 5 televised hearing days to go. There’s a 9th takeaway: The. People. Are. Watching. & Listening. And They Are HEARING. https://t.co/IYmY5Rieoo — PolitiTweet.org
