@WB05Karl I’m stuck too, what’s going on?

[Abraham Ritchie @AbrahamRitchie]

@RepDougCollins When the President requested a foreign country interfere in our election, you backed him. When he doubled down on it on the South Lawn then asked China to investigate, you backed him.

Shameful.

[Abraham Ritchie @AbrahamRitchie]

@John_Kass Congrats on writing a piece that managed to entirely avoid discussing how Trump leveraged foreign policy and aid for personal and political gain—and continues to.

That’s a huge crime. A High Crime.

Instead you whine about “pizzazz” and make up first grader-level nicknames.

[Abraham Ritchie @AbrahamRitchie]

@NBCNews @PeteWilliamsNBC Your interview was a utter failure that allowed fact-free fantasies from a corrupt AG.
You didn’t push back on distortions or omissions, now your org amplifies this.
Disappointing professionally, damaging nationally.

[Abraham Ritchie @AbrahamRitchie]

@JudiciaryGOP @RepDougCollins You complain about the process but not the behavior, then get all upset.

You’re laughable.

@PattyFl35958843 @JamesRosenTV @SpeakerPelosi @WeAreSinclair Nah, I don’t think they did. https://t.co/58SZ2tXQzc

[Abraham Ritchie @AbrahamRitchie]

@JamesRosenTV @SpeakerPelosi @WeAreSinclair You asked a disingenuous inflammatory question that had nothing to do with *actual* subject of impeachment which is:

Directing election interference
Abusing the office for personal gain
Obstruction

She demolished you. @WeAreSinclair takes another L.

[Abraham Ritchie @AbrahamRitchie]

@WSJopinion It’s funny to see a secret concerted campaign that targeted a political rival conducted outside of offical foreign policy shrugged off as “Volatile policy making.”
But then what do you expect from Murdoch owned WSJ?

[Abraham Ritchie @AbrahamRitchie]

@fox32news @realDonaldTrump @AdamSchiff Just pimping merch for Trump now? Your shift to State TV arm for Dear Leader is complete.

PS: lobbying a foreign power to interfere in our election is a big deal.

@RepLeeZeldin @realDonaldTrump Yes clearly the history books will say it was a clearly great moment when Trump tried to leverage foreign policy into a political investigation of an opponent.
Great thing to go to bat for there.

[Abraham Ritchie @AbrahamRitchie]

@Reuters This is demonstrably false and Republicans we’re given equal time to question, not our fault they went tinfoil hat conspiracy.
Do better @Reuters! Stop amplifying the presidents lies!

[Abraham Ritchie @AbrahamRitchie]

@florridakath @lindarutter @BobbyM62 @SpeakerPelosi @GMunoz1996 Trump clearly set Giuliani to create a back channel, shadow policy (not government) to pursue the investigations he then asked about on the call.
I agree that the President shouldn’t have done that and it was stupid to do in the shadow of the Mueller report.

[Abraham Ritchie @AbrahamRitchie]

@lindarutter @BobbyM62 @SpeakerPelosi @GMunoz1996 He’s done this to himself.
He created shadow foreign policy.
He made the call and asked about investigations.

He got caught, and now you’re blaming the people who say “hey this isn’t right to invite foreign interference”?

[Abraham Ritchie @AbrahamRitchie]

@BobbyM62 @SpeakerPelosi @GMunoz1996 Are you suggesting that many other politicians have leveraged foreign policy to initiate investigations into their political opponents?
That’s laughable.
From ignoring Congress’s Constitutional role in oversight to budget appropriation Trump is shredding the constitution.

[Abraham Ritchie @AbrahamRitchie]

@hragv Ok I gotta weigh in, why is the guy standing on an air vent in a three foot corridor?

[Abraham Ritchie @AbrahamRitchie]

@JanBeattie4 @miss_booga @TrumpFrederick @GOPLeader Prove me wrong via the summary memo.

[Abraham Ritchie @AbrahamRitchie]

@JanBeattie4 @miss_booga @TrumpFrederick @GOPLeader I too agree he’s abusing his office for political gain. Shameful, agreed.
