1/ Here's the Slate article I co-authored with @jedshug slate.com/news-and-polit…

For people who prefer threads. . .
2/ A thread:


After people acquaint themselves with the facts in this case (a poor guy who doesn't want to serve two sentences for the exact same crime) I hope everyone will take moment to ponder the nature and meaning of punishment.

Next tweet. . .
3/ This thread on due process and punishment may be my favorite thread I've ever written—

I think because the issues are so close to my own heart, and my own feelings about what makes us human.

Hi, George. Thanks for commenting. And welcome to my twitter feed.

All the facts I listed came directly from documents Mueller filed with the court. Most are from a doc you signed under penalty of perjury!

Let’s march through the facts, as given in the docs, shall we?
1/ The first bunch of facts will come from this document: justice.gov/file/1007346/d…

Which you signed under penalty of perjury.
2/ Here’s the part where you admit that you learned that the Russians had dirt on Hillary Clinton in the form of “thousands of emails.”

You also acknowledged that WHEN you received this information, you were an advisor to the Trump campaign.

(Thread) What's in the Mueller docs?

@ggreenwald wants to know if anyone can answer a few questions, like if Mueller indicted any Americans for crimes in the 2016 election or for criminally conspiring with Russians.

🙋‍♀️I can answer your questions, Glenn!
1/ Mueller’s mandate wasn't to indict Americans.

His mandate was to find “links and/or coordination” between the Russian government and Trump campaign people. See⤵️

Let's keep the goalposts where they belong. OK?
2/ So we are looking in the Mueller docs for “links and/or coordination” between Trump campaign folks and the Russian government.

Papadopoulos, Trump campaign advisor, pleaded guilty to lying about his contacts with Russians during the campaign. assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4776…

Q: Can Trump declare a national emergency and then build his wall?

A: Of course not.

The real question is how to deal with Trump's very effective “flood the zone with shit" ploy.👇

Look what happens when Trump says things like that.
1/Legal scholars like Lawrence Lessig theguardian.com/commentisfree/…, Yale Law prof. Bruce Ackerman nytimes.com/2019/01/05/opi… & @steve_vladeck have to spend time explaining what’s wrong with Trump’s ridiculous idea.
2/ Lawyers love to dissect these kinds of questions. Discussing hypotheticals is what we do!

Invariably a reporter will quote a lawyer who says something like: “it’s maybe not totally out of the realm of possibility.”

People will panic, even though . . .

"Here we go," says the banner on this MUST READ from @ErinBanco:
"In court filings due to drop in 2019, prosecutors will unveil Middle Eastern countries’ attempts to influence U.S. politics."
Trouble for Saudi, UAE, Qatar, and Israel. And Kushner. 1/

2/ "Flynn was involved in conversations with representatives of... UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Israel. Flynn’s cooperation could [reveal] how those countries offered not only to help Trump win...but also how they sought to influence foreign policy in the early days of the admin."
3/ Get to know these names now. If you follow me, you surely know of Erik Prince, George Nader, and Felix Sater.
Get to know these names, too:
Joel Zamel (Israel)
John Hannah (aide to Dick Cheney)
And I suspect we'll hear more about:
Qatar’s Ahmed Al-Rumaihi and FM Al-Thani

Here is a list of just a few of the crimes of George H. W. Bush:

in 1976, Bush’s CIA leaked a false report, which wrongly cleared Chile’s military dictatorship of involvement in a car bombing in Washington, which killed a Chilean dissident & an American.
consortiumnews.com/2016/09/21/geo…
In an act of pure aggression, George H. W. Bush instituted harsh sanctions on Panama in 1989 causing children to starve, then attempted a coup & finally invaded, dropping 400 bombs in 1 hour, leveling poor neighborhoods & killing 3,000 people.
During the invasion of Panama, US troops systematically torched homes, ran over civilians with tanks, executed civilians in the street & paid others to fill mass graves. Spanish photographer Juantxu Rodríguez of El País was shot and killed by an American soldier.

People have been asking me why I've been so fixated on Leonard Leo lately

I'm concerned about the damage he has down to our courts

ONE-THIRD of current SCOTUS judges were HANDPICKED by 1 man

[THREAD]
Don't look to the MSM on this one: Mr Leo has flown pretty under the radar, considering what a central role he's played in GOP corruption.

Time for a proper roundup to see it all in one place.
Yesterday WaPo threw another log on the Scott Pruitt scandal dumpster fire:
Pruitt enlisted a top aide at EPA to find his wife a job through GOP donors.

THREAD/Timeline on the significance of #Qatar as alleged intermediary between Russia and Trump through Dec'16 Rosneft sale (from #SteeleDossier, revelations about Qatar-backed $184M loan to Kushner, and now from @MichaelAvenatti). 1/
2/ This timeline builds on the piece I wrote in March about Kushner and Qatar: #SteeleDossier alleges that in Summer 2016, Russia made a deal to sell 19% of fossil fuel giant Rosneft, then secretly funnel commissions to Trump insiders in exchange for sanctions relief...
Dec.1,'16: Flynn & Kushner met Kislyak at Trump Tower, propose a secret link with Kremlin thru Russian embassy.
Dec.8: Russia sells 19% of Rosneft to Qatar.
Dec.12: Today's allegation from @MichaelAvenatti: Qatari diplomat met Cohen & Flynn. Coincidence?

THREAD: The new tax law is a raw deal for the middle class. 83% of the benefits go to the 1%, and it blows a $1.5 trillion hole in the deficit. But don't just take my word for it, here's 42 examples of how the #TaxScam hurts working families as well as a vision for #ABetterDeal:
A plurality—42%–think the tax cuts favor the wealthy most of all. Only 29.6% say they favor the working and middle class. finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-tax…
