Pelosi, asked by @JeffreyGoldberg at #TheAtlanticFest about impeaching Trump or Barr to slow SCOTUS nomination, says her remarks from the weekend were not in reference to that, but "of course, impeachment is always an arrow in the quiver"
@JeffreyGoldberg A year ago, shortly after speaking at the Atlantic Festival, Pelosi announced an impeachment inquiry against Trump.
@JeffreyGoldberg Asked what Dems have left to stop a nomination, Pelosi says her "battlefield" is the "court of public opinion" - where "people really know and care about the Affordable Care Act"

Back to tweeting from #TheAtlanticFest. Now onstage: @JeffreyGoldberg interviewing @LindseyGrahamSC. "A vacuum is being left in the Senate," Graham says of John McCain, adding that McCain and Teddy Kennedy would lead any history of the modern Senate.
"I called him every name I could think of and literally ran out of names," Graham says of his lining up with Trump after the election. Defines his job WRT Trump: "To counsel the president when he asks for my advice, help him where I can and say no where I must."
Graham defends Trump's insulting of Dr. Ford last night. "Everything he said was factual," he says. "This is what you get when you go through a trailer park with a $100 bill." Audience gasps. Somebody in my row: "Are you fucking kidding me?"
