Steve Calabresi: "This tweet [for delaying election] is fascistic & is itself grounds for the president’s immediate impeachment & removal."
If he & Barr don't disavow, impeach both.
Better late than never, but...
A thread on timing & moral courage

2/ We need to reckon with who stood up for the rule of law, often at personal cost.
And who conveniently shifted w/ the polls.
The true #NeverTrumpers, some of my heroes:
@chkbal
@ProjectLincoln
@ForTheRuleOfLaw
@AVindman Yovanovich, etc.
You know who you are. Thank you.
3/ Never forget which conservatives fought Trump before Covid19...
And which conservatives waited until Trump plummeted in the polls to abandon a dead pipeline to power.
Trump's tweet was nothing compared to Russia/Ukraine/Child Cages.
But its timing was a lot more convenient.
4/ Yes, Steve Calabresi deserves credit for his statement today.
Better late than never.
But the later one waited to condemn Trump while taking advantage of access to power, the harder one needs to fight now.
And the more repair one needs to do in the aftermath.
5/
Steve Calabresi swung at a softball today.
It’s easy to condemn a totally untenable legal position.
Let me know when he’s ready to stop the right-wing beanball and play hardball against Trump.
