Understand what the Trump verdict means: That, IN FACT, Trump unlawfully cheated to win the 2016 election.
Then the election law felon went on to nominate 3 SCOTUS judges.
What profound injustice to us all that our system has no mechanism to right this history-altering crime.
If
@senatemajldr
thought the Women’s March was big, just wait until he sees how millions of furious women will mobilize if he dares to try and confirm a new Justice before the next presidential term.

Chilling. The Nazis justified the invasion of Poland marking the start of WWII by falsely reporting that Poles were persecuting ethnic Germans. Exactly what Putin is doing now—justifying his invasion of Ukraine by falsely stating that Ukrainians are persecuting ethnic Russians.
My god. Someone needs to connect the dots between those killed and the intel Trump stole. Numbers won’t lie if a disproportionate number of those killed were among those mentioned in the purloined docs.

“Last year, a top-secret memo sent to every C.I.A. station around the world, warned about troubling numbers of informants being captured or killed”
Trump Inquiry Fueled in Part by Concern Over Human Intelligence Sources in Documents Trump Improperly Took
So let me get this straight: Barr and his DOJ showed egregiously poor judgment taking Epstein off of suicide watch, and utter incompetence at the one main task they were charged with—keeping Epstein alive. And we’re supposed to stand for Barr investigating his own errors?
With all of the recent revelations about Trump stealing top secret documents and possible criminal exposure under the Espionage Act, one has to wonder—again—what Trump-Putin interpreter Marina Gross would have to say about Trump’s private conversation with Putin.
Huge. If the 2nd Circuit affirms the lower court’s ruling, the bank would not be blocked from turning over documents responsive to Congress’ subpoena. We now know those documents include Trump’s tax returns. Hoo boy...

This is the president of the United States endorsing a criminal act against a black man.
Trump’s own Defense Secretary points finger at Trump—>
James Mattis said the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol was ‘fomented’ by Trump & that internal threats should be viewed “with every bit as much gravity as the external problems, and perhaps more so.”
The words “Biden-Harris” were shown in blazing blue letters over President Donald Trump’s name on his hotel and condo building overlooking the Chicago River..[it] also made appearances on Wrigley Field, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Chicago Theatre.
BREAKING: Judge Sullivan has given the US Postal Service until 3 p.m. today to "ensure that no ballots have been held up" in regions that have been slow to process mail ballots. The order applies to areas in battleground states of PA, MI, GA, TX, FL & AZ.
Holy cow: Lawrence O’Donnell on The Last Word just reported a bombshell. He cautioned it was via a single source, saying the source said Donald Trump had co-signers on his Deutsche Bank loans & the co-signers were....(drumroll please)....Russian Oligarchs close to Vladimir Putin.
@RodRosenstein
@RodRosenstein
you can’t change the damage you’ve done to the DOJ & our democracy w/ a tweet. You want a shot at redemption in the eyes of history? Offer a genuine apology for your cowardice/lack of integrity & offer to testify publicly before Congress to set the record straight.
Today, as Putin continued to slaughter Ukrainian civilians, Trump again asked Putin for help—this time for Hunter Biden dirt—lamenting that Ukraine would not help, all while news surfaced of a 7-hour gap in Trump WH logs (coverup) & Trump was caught lying about burner phones. WOW

I also just called the Legal Ethics dept. of the D.C. Bar to urge an inquiry into Kavanaugh’s misleading testimony & improper handling of stolen data as behavior unbecoming of a judge & to request info on how to formally lodge an ethics complaint. Consider doing same 202-737-4700
@SenatorCollins
I was a legal intern for him. Fine man. Please vote no to Kavanaugh, Senator Collins. The vast majority of America implores you. This vote will be your legacy. Our Democracy is counting on you. This vote is bigger than you. It is about the soul of America.
@HillaryClinton
This is why
@RepRaskin
should move to have those who voted against the electoral certification voluntarily recuse themselves. They won’t, but their conflict of interest should be highlighted publicly & their refusal to be ethical & mitigate their COI by recusing put on the record
@RepAdamSchiff
There is no way we can let the Republicans ram Kavanaugh through now. Not until Mueller is finished. Trump has just been implicated directly in a crime—a crime involving him cheating to win the election.
#IllegitimatePresident
Make some noise people.
Senate Republicans just blocked a unanimous vote on a resolution condemning white supremacy. It passed the House unanimously. They said that after 9 months of the legislation languishing that the committees of jurisdiction needed to look at it and consider their “equities.”
Watching
@maddow
review all of Trump’s dubious financial dealings and it makes me wonder: Whatever did happen to that counterintelligence probe into whether Trump is compromised by Putin?
@Delavegalaw
Was just thinking that watching
@rgoodlaw
on All In w/ Chris Hayes. Did Pence know that his leaving was what Trump wanted to stop the peaceful transfer of power? If so, how did he know? What did he think Trump would do if he left and why did he think that? Pence needs to testify.

If this is the second attempt by Paul to out the whistleblower after Roberts warned yesterday and rejected Paul’s first attempt, Roberts should hold Paul in contempt if he tries a third time.

Attention reporters: Want to win a Pulitzer? Find out what motivated Barr to insert himself into this corrupt admin and why he is willing to go down with Trump’s sinking ship by abusing his AG power, deceiving the American people and enabling a tyrant.

What is so galling is how predictable Trump has been—esp by those who study authoritarians.
@sarahkendzior
told us exactly how Trump would move toward authoritarianism if elected. His abuse of our system was predicted and we know where it leads if unchecked.
I wrote an article on how Trump, as president, would use spectacle to further his authoritarian agenda.
I wrote it in February 2016.
Now we await the parade...

We will not rest until we get appropriate election security legislation. We. Will. Not. Rest. And we’re organizing a march on D.C. at which

BINGO.
@sarahkendzior
explains a key reason why Stormy Daniels allegedly being threatened matters. Who else might Trump and his thugs have threatened? To silence disclosure of what abhorrent behaviors? Criminal behaviors, possibly? There are good reasons to wonder.
@Comey
We tried to do that in 2016 but you gave him an assist. Glad u are advocating for r democracy now, but unless u hold urself accountable 4 the poor choices u made in violation of policies/norms, u give others at the FBI or DOJ an excuse—poor as it may be—to violate those norms.
@tedlieu
@TheJusticeDept
Delusions of grandeur. Could he be more out of touch and arrogant? He clearly and disturbingly sees himself as some kind of savior. He should be talking with a good therapist, not our U.S. attorneys.

@tribelaw
If he’s trying to persuade Joe to adopt some of his policies, he’s doing a lousy job. His approach instead is to attack, undermine & act righteous as usual. Is Trump giving him debate tips? Whatever the case, he is no leader and is not unifying. What a tragedy.
@DanRather
All eyes on Christopher Wray. He must defend his FBI and demand that Barr retract his incendiary comments if and until Barr can produce hard and cold proof (and we know Barr will never be able to produce proof).
Barr is abusing his power & undermining the FBI. He’s a danger.
Deputy assistant AG David Morell — a member of the DOJ legal teams handling Bolton lawsuit, Census matters, Portland protest issues and more — has announced he is leaving DOJ today, withdrawing form all those cases.
@RepAdamSchiff
@RepAdamSchiff
we need the House to UNAPOLGETICALLY and DECISIVELY hold these bad actors accountable. Lead and America will follow. It’s time.
@GovMikeHuckabee
Incredibly irresponsible statement
@GovMikeHuckabee
. Please consider apologizing & retracting it. It marginalizes the seriousness of the NY AG’s findings re the Trump Foundation’s inappropriate use of donations & falsely/maliciously accuses the Clinton Foundation of wrongdoing.

They can also say, “Well if u thought lying about an extramarital affair warranted removal then u cannot credibly argue that shaking down an ally for personal gain by unlawfully withholding already-appropriated aid does not warrant removal.” There can now be no “so what” defense.
@RodRosenstein
@submergingmkt
So why did you let Barr marginalize the report? Why did you agree with him on his faulty finding of no obstruction?
Just stop it, Rod. America has had enough of your trying to rewrite American history. You were a coward when we needed you. Robert Jackson would not have been.
Today Senate Republicans blocked THREE election security bills.
Two would require that illegal foreign election interference be reported to the authorities.
The other would make voting machines harder to hack.
All blocked.
New: Stunning evidence has emerged that requires Thomas’ testimony and his recusal on any matters having to do with Jan 6. It also suggests that Thomas’ wife Ginni was a vehicle for communications between Thomas and Jan. 6 operatives and elevates her influence considerably.
Um. Did you guys see this…
“Boxes of documents even came with Trump on foreign travel, following him to hotel rooms around the world — including countries considered foreign adversaries of the United States.”
@Teri_Kanefield
I can hear McConnell saying it now, “Yeah, Trump did it. He shot someone on Fifth Avenue. It was terrible. Blood everywhere. Trump’s wielding his smoking gun like a madman. But I’m voting to acquit based on a fiction I created.”
Essential even if disturbing read by scholar in authoritarianism,
@sarahkendzior
, who has studied Trump & gets his mindset.
“If Trump distracts us from his own misdeeds, and financially benefits and consolidates power through war, it won’t matter to him how many lives are lost.”
In any other administration — Democrat or Republican — this would be a scandal. Thank you,
@CREWcrew
for forcing at least some accountability among the countless acts of corruption.
@RodRosenstein
Thanks
@RodRosenstein
. Your tweets about duty do not erase your past choices. Search your soul and ask: Did you fulfill your duty to the American people when you stood behind AG Barr and supported him as he misled the American people about the Mueller report?
@BillKristol
That’s like saying when scientists say the earth is round, they make it impossible for a certain % of the country to not see them as biased.
@jentaub
Absolutely right! Epstein was in the biz of blackmail, which gave him immense power over dozens of high profile men. Now Trump and Barr have the power Epstein had.
Barr must recuse now.
@SkinMD13
@Comey
I don’t think he was knowingly trying to help Trump; I think he went against norms to help immunize himself and the FBI from attacks on the right when Hillary won. Problem was, she didn’t. He should never have strayed from established practice.
@RodRosenstein
Wait. Aren’t you the guy who sold his soul to Bill Barr and agreed to stand behind him as he misled the American people on the Mueller report? Those are nice words about Dan Coats but the irony in them—you praising no politicking—is not lost on the American people. Come clean.

Now watch Trump try and pin these deaths on Biden. Completely his MO and likely part of the plan all along. A would-be win for our enemies and Trump if only NARA hadn’t stepped in.
@gtconway3d
Agree. I was very surprised at Meghan McCain’s comment. We need to be reminded again and again of John McCain’s concern over and work against Trump’s tyranny. It’s clearly part of the legacy he wanted to leave.
