Robert Mueller has one last service to perform, and that is to answer questions for the Congress and American people. There are any number of questions that we have every right, and the American people have every need, to have answered about his investigation and what he found.

Roger Stone has posted an Instagram Story saying John Brennan "must be" charged and convicted and "hung for treason." Wonder how court officials and Instagram moderators will react.

Cory Booker on impeachment: "This president is not above the law. He should not be able to stop the checks & balances on the executive. And I feel like we have a moral obligation now to investigate this president. Impeachment proceedings will give us more legal leverage."


House Intel Chair Adam Schiff: "One party, the Republican Party, has turned itself into a cult of the president's personality and is not likely to act consist with its constitutional obligations."


Dems need to realize this band of “progressive warriors” is really Tea Party 2.0. TP destroyed the GOP’s long-term prospects, and their extremist know-nothing politics has cost the US trillions of dollars in economic damage. TP is the org “Justice Dems” want to emulate...


Trump calls Meghan Markle "nasty" ahead of his meeting Prince Harry. What could possibly go wrong?

Anyone ever going to ask Zuck about the 100s of millions in bailout funds he took from Usmanov (via Milner) - a Russian state-backed mafioso (real life mob boss), back when FB was burning through all its cash & had yet to find a business model? Anyone..?


An impeachment trial will be the most watched event in a long time; making it a strong venue to lay out the facts & evidence of the case to the American people. Make GOP’ers own their votes for not convicting after. They’ll pay for it later.


Less airtime given to known liars such as Rudolph W. Giuliani and more factual detail about the president’s conduct are required. Public ignorance and confusion result from the media’s misguided fixation on “balance”

Why is this woman—who is not an expert in um, anything, be on tv to talk about tariffs? (she’s also promoting the idea that US taxpayers would NOT shoulder the burden —which is wrong). It’s crazy that cnn fills it’s air this way and explains why their ratings are down, imho.

Inside Taylor Swift’s Bold Anti-Trump LGBTQ Stand: ‘Treat All of Our Citizens Equally’


If Barr thinks Mueller could have accused Trump of a crime, then SDNY prosecutors should stop being coy about “Individual 1” and announce whether Trump should be charged with campaign finance fraud. Michael Cohen + David Pecker + recording + reimbursement checks = indictment.

Imagine feeling like your career depends on saying stuff like this.


Flood served as Clinton’s attorney durin’ his impeachment, but now that impeachment clamor is growin’ by the day, he’s headin’ for the exits? Either he was asked to break the law, or he saw what happened to McGahn and left before it happens to him
