81/ Long ago, we were told by many media outlets that Rod Rosenstein was a "survivor." We were told that meant that he did what he had to do to survive professionally—that he was flexible. Well, here's what having no core principles looks like in practice:https://twitter.com/Adrienne_DNC/status/1118872403994607617 …

82/ This will be the one time during this live thread I repeat something I've often said on my feed: never ever ask why men and women will throw away their good name for Trump—the GOP has made it clear they think Trump could tear the party in two and destroy it if they cross him.

83/ The GOP has long been about winning elections despite being a minority party whose views most of America disagrees with. Since 1994, it's rarely been about principles—but rather, multifaceted voter suppression. So no, *nothing* is more important than keeping the party alive.

85/ I *do* differ from
@AshaRangappa_ in distinguishing between *four* scenarios: (1) Collusion by conspiracy (a crime)* (2) Collusion by other crimes (a crime)* (3) Noncriminal collusion (a national security threat)* (4) Noncriminal collusion (an ethical offense) *Impeachable.22 replies 488 retweets 1,767 likesShow this thread -
86/ Barr's use of "collusion" *at most* referred to "Scenario 1 [of 4]"—collusion by criminal conspiracy. (I'd argue that he was only referring to conspiracy with certain people at certain times, however.) His *political trick* was to pretend he was referring to *all four types*.

87/ If you were, uh, *alive in America* from 2017 through the present, you know that "ten" is a *very* small number compared to the public behavior we saw from Trump and the private behavior we read about in major media:https://twitter.com/politico/status/1118890147020460033 …

90/ This is incorrect. We were waiting on *Mueller* to tell us if there was a provable criminal conspiracy in the collusion we know about, and *are* waiting on *20 other investigations* to tell us if there were *other* impeachable crimes in that collusion.https://twitter.com/brianbeutler/status/1118891268929617921 …

Brian BeutlerVerified account @brianbeutlerThis has been the whole shebang for nearly two years. We established collusion a long time ago. We were waiting on Mueller to tell us whether any of that collusive behavior amounted to a provable criminal conspiracy. https://twitter.com/AshaRangappa_/status/1118887069659664384 …13 replies 314 retweets 1,374 likesShow this thread
