1/Short thread on impending Barr Report. First, recall the Mueller Report is called "Report on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election." It's abt an attack on nation by Russia. Gravity of the issues at hand here cannot be understated.
2/That the President broke American election laws, lied repeatedly abt his connections to Russia during the campaign and cheated his way to the White House HAS ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED AND IS NOT IN QUESTION.
3/Whatever happens w/Russia and obstruction in the new report, the issue of an Presidential candidate conspiring to break a series of American campaign finance laws and cheat their way to the White House has to be now debated and considered by Congress.
4/Congress must also develop a comprehensive approach to protecting our elections in 2020, something Trump has prevented from occurring. This is an urgent priority. Some ideas on what we can do now: medium.com/@Simon_Rosenbe…
5/Finally, time for us to recognize that our nation was established to prevent people like Donald Trump from coming to power here or anywhere else. His authoritarian ways, contempt for democracy, private and personal over national interest, are an obscene betrayal of our creed.
6/In the coming days Democrats must find their voice on just how grave a betrayal of America and what it is has always represented Trump's Presidency is. No other President has held our democratic ways in such contempt; we cannot let the American beacon go dark on our watch.
