      THREAD: Let's talk about direct vs circumstantial evidence. The law treats them the same. @SenatorBurr says there's no "direct evidence of collusion" b/w Trump & Russians. Put aside the fact that @MarkWarner doesn't agree w/ this. What matters is if there's evidence of collusion.

      2/ Every juror in America is told "Both direct and circumstantial evidence are acceptable types of evidence to prove or disprove the elements of a charge...and neither is necessarily more reliable than the other. NEITHER is entitled to any greater weight than the other."

      3/ What is circumstantial evidence? Suppose I’m trying to prove that my son Nelson ate some freshly baked brownies that we made together. When I turned away, all of the brownies were out. When I turned back, one was gone...

      4/ I didn't see Nelson eat a brownie -- that would be direct evidence. But when I returned, he had crumbs on his shirt, and chocolate on his lips and fingers. That would be considered circumstantial evidence that Nelson ate a brownie.

      5/ It's not direct, but that doesn't matter. The law says it's treated exactly the same way. So, @SenatorBurr, have you seen any circumstantial evidence of collusion? #RussiaInvestigation

          Also, the type of information that serves as "evidence" in our system is stuff only professional investigators and intel officers can get. It will require travel records, phone records, video surveillance from intel partners etc. That is not something the the Senate can get.

          Really? That surprises me. Are there other aspects a lay person might easily make incorrect assumptions? Briefly :)

          Thank you. Blanket statements like Burr’s are disingenuous and crafted for sound bites. Most jurors can easily handle these concepts. And so too can the public. If they are not treated as though they are stupid and led by sound bites.

          It’s more insidious than just a sound bite... He purposefully created a headline, so Trump could use it as evidence in his defense. No coincidence it happened right after news of Manfort’s transcripts broke. See point #5👇pic.twitter.com/cmqfH79GrT
