22:52:38 A year ago I agreed that it would be foolish to start anything impeachment related unless there was a good chance of conviction in the Senate. I am over that. Given what we already know, let alone if there is more, it is a moral duty to pursue it aggressively. Even if it fails. https://t.co/LVV8GxypuR

So this story, which would end any previous presidency, will never get the attention it deserves. https://t.co/3kYXak6ZAe
04:31:32 Retweeted @highmeh 2019-03-09 14:09:50 Great article by @zackwhittaker on why the ONLY response to a suspected breach is to immediately call in a qualified forensics expert – calling this вЂњinvestigationвЂќ (I use this term loosely) amateur hour would insult amateurs everywhere. https://t.co/g0PRmgo9Ne

Part of that is warming becoming far less abstract. But no one should discount the Green New Deal’s role here. https://t.co/sAmhM5VwnT

15:51:33 Retweeted @BarbMcQuade 14:15:27 Comparing Manafort to all white collar criminals is like comparing El Chapo to all drug dealers.

00:00:42 47 months is insanely light. Absolutely nuts. WTF!?!
00:02:09 That is just ridiculously low given what the counts were here. Judge is clearly sending a message he thought this whole thing was bullshit.
00:11:53 Retweeted @ScottHech 00:09:35 My colleague’s client today was forced to plead out to the mandatory minimum of 3.5 years (5 months shy of Manafort) for simple possession of a firearm. No allegation of use. Prosecution wouldn’t drop top count after a hearing. Best they had been willing to do was 2 years. in reply to ScottHech
00:18:41 Retweeted @tribelaw 00:16:46 Judge Ellis’s assessment that Manafort led an вЂњotherwise blameless lifeвЂќ was proof that he’s unfit to serve on the federal bench. I’ve rarely been more disgusted by a judge’s transparently preferential treatment to a rich white guy who betrayed the law and the nation.

04:39:27 Retweeted @sarahkendzior 2019-03-07 23:55:50 As Roy Cohn — the ruthless mafia lawyer who mentored Trump and introduced him to Manafort and Stone — once said: “I don’t want to know what the law is, I want to know who the judge is.” https://t.co/YbL45l2zcf
06:12:17 Retweeted @ezekilov 00:50:32 To put in context just how ridiculous the Manafort sentence is:There’s over 2000 federal prisoners serving life without parole for nonviolent crimes such as:
Attempting to cash a stolen check
Possessing stolen scrap metal
Siphoning gasoline from a truck

16:10:40 Retweeted @dangillmor 15:44:34 People who are surprised by the Manafort sentence need only look back at the judge’s virulently pro-defense and anti-prosecution behavior during the trial. Few articles (that I’ve seen) today note that context. Ex: https://t.co/igtLPNjZ9j Missing context: https://t.co/D0Zvy8WzGT
16:16:20 Retweeted @owillis 15:43:09 the thing i admire most about the gop and dislike about the democrats is that when they get power the gop just uses it and the dems keep it in a box like if they do use it, it will dissipate
16:18:17 Retweeted @kylegriffin1 11:35:50 From a White House source, the House Oversight Committee has obtained documents related to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump’s security clearances that the Trump admin refused to provide, a senior Democratic aide tells Axios. https://t.co/PbXFKoRbr9

Just commit a shitload of felonies in the Eastern District of Virginia and hope you get Judge Ellis.
21:16:24 Retweeted @IanSams 20:45:47 Crazy story that just happened in SC:A woman in a MAGA hat showed up to @KamalaHarris‘ event in Myrtle Beach. She came over to Kamala after the event and talked with her for a minute. Swear to God, she then took off her MAGA hat and told Kamala she isn’t with Trump anymore.

14:22:07 Retweeted @samstein 02:06:23 Here’s a crazy story.With virtually no fanfare, this totally obscure 2020 Democratic presidential candidate is about break the DNC’s 65k donor threshold to qualify for the first debate.
