I wrote this tonight which you may have seen: deepstateradionetwork.com/trump-must-be-…. I should add though that it is a dangerous mistake to view the Trump Russia scandal in an insular way.
We must view the Russian plot behind Trump Russia along side its efforts to support the Brexit vote as well as efforts to support nationalist, anti-EU movements in France, Italy, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Ukraine and beyond.
Only if we see the scope of this multi-year, massively resourced, Russian campaign against the West and our institutions do we realize the full strategic and historical impact of the facts that one-by-one fill our headlines.

Joe Biden is the most establishment, business as usual candidate the Dems could run and thus most vulnerable to the Trump message. He has also historically been a weak candidate.
He is a good man and has given much to the American people. He should be honored. He should help the Democrats win. He has a vital role to play.
But that is not as candidate. There are a dozen compelling talented candidates who could beat Trump or whomever the Republicans run.

I keep seeing representatives of the right (and sometimes of the far left) defending Trump and I wonder, have they no decency? How many incidents of racism, misogyny, lying, corruption, service to foreign enemies, or incompetence does it take for them to stand down?
Yet they do not. They defend the wall although it is not needed, the crisis is fabricated, it is founded in racism and vanity, it is linked to concentration camps and children in cages and unnecessary deaths on the southern border. They defend Trump's claims of no collusion...
...even though evidence of collusion includes the president himself asking for the assistance of the Russians, embracing Russian law-breaking to support his own campaign, defenses of the Russians, giving national secrets to the Russians, obsequious service to Vladimir Putin,...

I can think of few instances when a political leader has been so pitch perfect in tone and substance than @NancyPelosi over the last few months. That is good, as she ascends for a second time to the Speakership, she is the most important person in America right now.
Her career is a remarkable story of achievement--by far the greatest success story of an American woman in our political history. She is surrounded by a great team that is going to change the nature of how our government works almost instantly.
That does not guarantee success on all fronts..or even many fronts. But we have been without oversight of the president for two years as he has presided over the wholesale corruption of his office, of service to our enemies and of compiling and compounding threats to the country.

THREAD! 1-A number of experts are saying the recent @nytimes @ScottShaneNYT @MarkMazzettiNYT BIG #Trump-#Russia piece is one of the best pieces of journalism in recent years, and IT SURE IS. I had three levels of reaction to this as someone who has closely analyzed this topic.
2-1st, I was OVERJOYED that 1 of the best newspapers FINALLY gave 2 of their best journalists go-ahead & space to cover the #Trump-#Russia the only way it can be properly understood: a deep-dive detailed look at big, overall picture over time. Our society is better off for it!
3-2nd, I was SUPER frustrated generally cuz, 2+ years after topic should've obvi been covered this way only @NYTimes among biggest outlets has done this. W/ smaller respected outlets. Even 1 year into it only @aminterest/@submergingmkt, @newrepublic/@craigunger had. Circa 0 since
