Americans say guns are their defense against an overreaching government. The U.S. gov today was bought by the Russians and is using its power to inspire mass confusion in the media, destroy the judicial system, and deport hard-working individuals. How useful have those guns been? https://t.co/YAkb8Es80B
109/ I'll be taking a brief break to appear on BBC Newsnight (for those in the UK or those who have it on cable). I'll return immediately thereafter to further analyze what's going on right now.
Again, this is a *historic* day in the United States that will be long remembered.
@rob_bennett 94/ Every attorney with experience in criminal law now presumes—and factors into their analyses—that Mueller has sufficient information to indict the POTUS. He wouldn't have given Flynn this sort of deal otherwise. All of us should be acting carefully, with that thought in mind.
@rob_bennett 88/ So we must consider that Flynn's full proffer—the one we have barely an inkling of so far—imperils the political and possibly legal future of *both* the President of the United States *and* the Vice President of the United States. So we'll eventually have to talk succession.
@rob_bennett 82/ Trump, Flynn, and many others had—as late as August 17, 2016, but certainly much earlier than that—clear knowledge of what Putin's ambitions were. And they not only played footsie with him after that but *actively conspired with him* and his agents in secret. It's *that* big.
@rob_bennett 80/ This scandal not only has international implications but profound implications for the future of the Republican Party. I don't write much about the "domino" effect this case involves—but we'll be hearing about it more very soon. So this is several times bigger than Watergate.
26/ As I've said, we now have reason to believe—to a near-certainty—Flynn can incriminate Trump. And as noted, the range of potential crimes is vast. Did Flynn tell Trump and/or Pence the truth about his Russia contacts as they were happening—despite what the White House claimed?
