thread on Willard from "Peril"
After Pence leaves Oval on Jan. 5, Trump is furious. Pence isn't breaking. He opens the door near the Resolute Desk. "A rush of cold air blasted the room." He can hear the mob in the streets outside the Willard. He's elated to hear them. (p. 230)
The normal political class continues to under-react to how close Trump came to a coup. Different choices by a VERY few people—Jeffrey Rosen, Brad Raffensperger, and the like—and we’d be in a very different position today. Remember: The House GOP backed the coup even AFTER 1/6.
If @RepAdamSchiff is right that AG Merrick Garland is reluctant to investigate former President Trump, then I agree that the AG is making a mistake of epic proportions. I hope and pray that Schiff is wrong about Garland. So odd that both were my students!

Florida Republican consultants have been exposed in court documents & guilty pleas for creating many fake candidates in order to siphon votes from Democrats. It's a much bigger story with far more people involved in whatever Matt Gaetz is accused of doing https://t.co/Q49iMjChEV
More on the first guilty plea of this actual election fraud scheme.
No surprise Trump fans never talk about this stuff. But the national MSM and progressive media has ignored it as well https://t.co/iqNZaF9VD8

Our democracy is failing - we are in a Constitutional crisis. Period.
Ignoring, or refusing to acknowledge it, will not make it go away. In fact, it makes you complicit - you give consent.

@JJHunt10 Prior to Trump it was considered uncouth to campaign as active POTUS. You know it is as if being the head of the Executive branch requires attention and time.
.@staceyabrams: "To suggest that protecting access to the right to vote and defending the freedom to vote, that those are cynical acts, is unfortunately a partisan response and not a patriotic response."
1. Some significant antitrust news. Ever wonder why rental car prices in the U.S. are so high? It gets back to bad antitrust policy, in particular Obama FTC Chair Jon Leibowitz allowing a controversial Hertz-Dollar merger in 2012.
In 2017, @FTC Commissioners voted to issue a study claiming that the status quo approach to settling illegal mergers was working fine.
My office has identified serious flaws in the study that raise questions about its rigor and reliability. https://t.co/3hDaOXxNNi
Patel, Scavino, Meadows & Bannon obviously wanted there to be reports that Trump had told them not to comply with subpoenas.They want that fact known so they can use it as a defense.They don't want the letter published, though, because the argument wouldn't withstand scrutiny.
Part of money stashed in offshore accounts is what comes back as Private-Public Partnerships.
Locals, using mzungu proxies, pose as overseas private investors, build expressways and power plants, and force citizens to pay for them.
