@KBidenharris Cautiously optimistic because to me the evidence is clear, but cautious because we've only heard one side and you can't/shouldn't decide until you hear the defense. — PolitiTweet.org

@thomash1268 But if one juror thinks that, it could be a problem even though it is irrelevant to whether #Chauvin's knee was a substantial cause of Mr Floyd's death. — PolitiTweet.org

@RE_Schicchi Love the words, but wonder if the picture will cause you the same problems @kathygriffin had? — PolitiTweet.org

@LauraMiner100 Can you send it to me? Or post it here? — PolitiTweet.org

@KLJones_777 Interesting. Call the prosecutor's office and offer expert help. — PolitiTweet.org

@Outland68207854 Those are the rules -- unless #Chauvin takes the stand. Then lots of evidence against him can be admitted. Under the rules , the problem is it only takes 1 juror to cause a hung jury. — PolitiTweet.org

Jill Wine-Banks @JillWineBanks

@infmom YES! Did you notice #MSNBC bleeped the expletives from the audio played in court as evidence? Our transcripts said "Expletive Deleted." Both are silly - the words used are evidence. — PolitiTweet.org

@Kittybox1 So far, even with today's technology we can't resurrect those minutes. Thanks for remembering them. — PolitiTweet.org

@GHPerspective I'd want you on my jury! I think defense has done a lot to anger jurors. Trying to make a witness "an angry Black man," painting the crowd as dangerous, and ore. — PolitiTweet.org

@vickilou92 Defense is allowed to lead a prosecution witness. — PolitiTweet.org

@ScottNoddin8 Because if senators representing the majority can end filibuster, you get majority rule on all issues. — PolitiTweet.org

@Outland68207854 @AlyceGma I am not diminishing the horror of addiction. My family has lost two to drugs despite excellent rehab. My point was how easy it is to suggest what was said and mangle it. I aint done no drugs in answer to officer is logical and counters the defense. Logic & commonsense must rule. — PolitiTweet.org

@DrDonnaDemocrat Thank you!!! — PolitiTweet.org

Jill Wine-Banks @JillWineBanks

@ScottNoddin8 Let me clarify. Democrats now represent 70% of the population with 50 Senators. The Republican 50 represent 30% so filibusters wld achieve cloture right now. Making cloture a majority vote instead of 60 would work too. Making it inapplicable to civil rights and voting works too. — PolitiTweet.org

Nixon wanted to give us transcripts of what he said tapes said, not the tapes. We refused. That's how America got to hear the incriminating words that lead to his resignation. — PolitiTweet.org

Jill Wine-Banks @JillWineBanks

#ChauvinTrial today reminded me of Watergate tapes. Hard to hear audio allowed defense to trick a witness into saying he heard what they said it said (I ate drugs). When prosecutor played fuller portion, he heard what prosecution heard: I ain't done no drugs. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

This would level the playing field, but could it ever happen? — PolitiTweet.org

Jill Wine-Banks @JillWineBanks

We are a majority rule country. The filibuster is used to prevent the will of the majority w no compensating value. It cannot be allowed to continue as it is. Abolish or amend it to allow time for relevant argument only or cloture by senators representing 60% of the population. — PolitiTweet.org

@financejonE I checked Pardon Office. They say all pardons are public record so press would have found it by now if one existed — PolitiTweet.org

Correct. When Pres Ford offered pardon to Nixon, he made sure Nixon saw that SCOTUS opinion before deciding to accept it. Gaetz wouldn't need a pardon if he had done no crime. — PolitiTweet.org
