    But with today's tweet and similar, he's really calibrating the response of Republicans, like boiled frogs. Yesterday it was an attack on the FBI. Today, an attack on legit prosecutions of his corrupt supporters. Tomorrow? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Most of Trump's tweets abt RU investigation have been about three purposes: 1) Seeding hoaxes among his followers (bypassing the media), and devaluing truth 2) Attacking potential witnesses (tho Trump badly misunderstands who they'll be) 3) Reinforcing defense team BS

    I have some basis to know this obviously.

    Chris Collins was not an Obama era investigation. FYI.

    Immediately after Sen publishes another op-ed saying (contrary to all available facts) that this is the most transparent SCOTUS process in history, Burck makes a mockery of his stmnt by sending Senate 42k pages of "confidential" docs the night before the hearing.

    Every time I watch Roger Federer or Tom Brady I want a computer simulation to let normal humans understand what they see as they instantly assess their field and execute muscle memory brutally. Imagine experiencing what that instant acute assessment is like?

    We spent the entire weekend talking about important it is to put country first. Will the same obsequious press call out Grassley for the radical obstruction he's part of on Kavanaugh confirmation?

    So...Obama’s going on campaign trail to alert ppl of trend toward authoritarianism/a hit on Trump That’s easy for Trump to counter. No President can be autocratic when u share Constitutional power w Congress&Court@real Donald Trump give it to Obama

    Has any Fox New personality suggested we nationalize the New Yorker yet, to defend Steve Bannon's First Amendment rights to a platform?

    Pretty sure people of color understand the consequences of this.

    Don't think folks truly appreciate what the actual consequences of politicized law enforcement is for normal people.

    This Trump supporter apparently missed the irony. Or maybe watched Back to the Future one too many times.

    This just says how corrupt Obama was and how deep the corruption goes.

    Barack Obama is such a powerful former President he could investigate and indict future crimes against Chris Collins that happen in Trump's White House.

    Better still, Collins committed insider trading while at the Trump White House.

    Chris Collins is charged with engaging on insider trading June 17, 2017. Last time I checked, that's not "Obama era"

    The president complains that the first two congressmen to endorse him were indicted by the third.

    Two long running, Obama era, investigations of two very popular Republican Congressmen were brought to a well publicized charge, just ahead of the Mid-Terms, by the Jeff Sessions Justice Department. Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. Good job Jeff......

    Asked about the sudden cancellation, Sarah Sanders says: "The President stayed at the WH to make calls specifically on trade and other international issues. Will keep you posted if there are other updates."

    Unusual. Reporters were called to gather for an outing with President Trump. Once in the vans, he emerged from the White House and boarded the motorcade, but then got out and walked back inside the residence, per .

    That we have gone from that argument on July 7 — — to this reality less than two months later is as aggressive a position as McConnell and Grassley’s move in 2016 to block movement on Garland’s nomination. And everyone should understand that.

    NYT, before nom: “The number of pages is said to run into the millions, which Mr. McConnell fears could hand Senate Democrats an opportunity to delay the confirmation vote ...” AP, tonight: “In all, 267,000 pages of Kavanaugh documents from his Bush years are being made public.”
