LIVE NOW: @Lawrence hosts a conversation with Sen. Michael Bennet at #TribFest19. nbcnews.to/2nUD3UD
@Lawrence After a question about why he thought Mitch McConnell voted to get phone call transcript released, Sen. Bennet said: “I would never, ever want any of you, or my children, or anybody that I know to be as cynical or malevolent as Mitch McConnell."
@Lawrence Sen. Bennet: "[Sen. McConnell] said 'yes' because he believed, maybe rightly or maybe wrongly, that the complaint wasn't really gonna hurt President Trump very much.”
@chrislhayes "I think weakness, I think the doveishness of the left invites conflict. I think it increases the chance of military conflict."

Klobuchar says the Ukraine situation reminds her of Watergate.
"It feels very similar to that, with paranoia and personal gain and an election coming up."

Lawfare at #TribFest19... @DavidPriess, @BobbyChesney, Lisa Monaco, Mary McCord, and Nick Rasmussen discuss domestic terrorism.
I was very moved by @evanasmith’s warm words about what we do at Lawfare in introducing this discussion. The @TexasTribune is an extraordinarily inspiring example of what is possible in the world of nonprofit journalism. It is an honor to be here collaborating.
Also moved by how many people turned out to see this super-substantive conversation.
Lawfare does a lot of things of which I am fiercely proud--none more so than working with @Sleutert and the @StraussCenter on this project.
The sheriff of Brooks County Texas gave Leutert the death reports for all migrants who died in his county.

Stephanie and Sheriff Martinez will be discussing this work at #TribFest19 with @BobbyChesney. Lawfare will record and podcast that conversation.
At #TribFest19 hearing a stellar panel headed by @evanasmith with the best panel title: The Name of this Panel is Talking Heads. @matthewjdowd @DavidJollyFL @TheRickWilson @jmpalmieri
So @TheRickWilson says McConnell would never hold a Senate trial if Trump is impeached. He also called Schumer the guy you bring to a party because you feel sorry for him.
And now @TheRickWilson called Trump a “fecal iceberg.”
I'm heading to #TribFest19 right now to do a series of Lawfare events over the next few days, including one that will unveil a major new @lawfareblog project. Here are all the Lawfare-related events at the festival this year. We will be recording and podcasting several of these.
Today, I interview Judge John Bates, former presiding judge of the FISA Court about all things FISA—including the statute's role in L'Affaire Russe. festival.texastribune.org/speakers/john_…
Tomorrow, @DavidPriess moderates a powerhouse conversation on domestic terrorism with Lisa Monaco, @BobbyChesney, Mary McCord, and Nick Rasmussen.
