It’s also possible to believe the chants were good because they expressed (1) the reasonable view that the evidence shows Trump has committed crimes, and (2) the patriotic premise that no one—not even the president, though he may believe otherwise—is above the law.
.@realDonaldTrump lies so much about anything and everything, that it’s actually proper and reasonable to presume that he’s lying about any given thing, and so he deserves no apology from anyone for assuming he’s a liar, which he is, tens of thousands of times over. So stop.
“We are leaving soldiers to secure the oil. And we may have to fight for the oil. It’s okay.”
No, Mr. President, it’s not okay. It’s unauthorized and unconstitutional. Despite his talk of ending wars, Pres. Trump always finds an excuse to keep them going. Now, it’s Syrian oil.
If men in politics were held to the same standard as Katie Hill, half the seats in Congress would be empty. This double standard is despicable- and we need to do better.
President Trump couldn’t just take a win. He thanked the military and intelligence officials but he couldn’t leave it there. Russia? Operational details? So much more to parse. I don’t think his advisors will be happy with the muddying of the message.
THREAD: Let's start with this smoking-gun memo-obtained by The New York Times. Treasury at direct order of Sec. Mnuchin took what staff at IRS warned would be seen as a overtly political act & one could undermine the integrity of a multi-billion dollar Trump-era federal tax break
Today’s ruling in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia strikes another blow to President Trump’s attempt to put himself above the law and challenges the Trump Admin’s unprecedented, blanket defiance of Congress’s oversight. https://t.co/2gq12isPpz
Amazing timing how the day after further evidence emerges of Trump extorting a foreign country to investigate his enemies, Barr pops up with a criminal investigation of Trump’s enemies.
Senate Intel is wrapping up a three-year bipartisan investigation, and we've found nothing remotely justifying this.
Mr. Barr's "investigation" has already jeopardized key international intelligence partnerships.
He needs to come before Congress and explain himself.
Yes, Barr must be disBarred. But let’s stay focused: all evidence suggests @realDonaldTrump used your money to extort Ukraine. Nothing matters more than holding him — and him first — accountable. Stunts like this are Trump-directed distraction devices.
Special Counsel investigation resulted in:
-34 indictments
-8 convictions/guilty pleas
-A finding that Russia interfered in US elections in a sweeping & systematic manner
AG Barr of @TheJusticeDept is now essentially trying to say that none of that should have happened. Really?
