Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      Good to see Pence is getting practice having his racist orders overturned by Courts before he takes over for Trump.https://twitter.com/AP/status/969325183793287168 …

      A judge has permanently barred Indiana from trying to block the resettlement of Syrian refugees there, ruling on a 2015 order by then-Governor Mike Pence. http://apne.ws/6rc04EY

      Do you think there’s any chance he gets caught up in all this? He oversaw the transition, he was Manafort’s pick, etc. Have you seen anything that indicates to you he may have some personal exposure? Or do you think he was just “see no evil, hear no evil?”

      Not sufficient exposure to doom him, no. At least not yet. I think the Kochs made sure to keep him fairly clean.

      I really appreciate it Marcy, thank you. Your Times op-ed was excellent, and I’ve been very grateful for your insights during all of this. That would certainly make sense, though it does raise one last question if you don’t mind: 1/2

      Are you suggesting the Koch’s may have had some prior knowledge of the Russia plot? Or at least, enough to know to somehow proactively shield Pence as much as possible? I’ve not seen that connection elsewhere if so, so just curious if that’s what you meant. Thanks again! 2/2

      No. But the Kochs were always chilly to Trump. I think they saw what we did and saw ... opportunity.

          Thanks for the clarification, much appreciated. And thank you again for sharing your insights in all this... it’s dizzying, and you help cut through the noise. Now if I could only get a Kushner indictment tomorrow, my life would be complete! :)
