Not one word of this tweet from **the Attorney General of Louisiana** is accurate. But maybe they do things differently under the napoleonic code idk.
A couple points of clarification:
• no *court* has weighed Trump’s guilt as he hasn’t been charged
• the accused in this nation enjoy a *presumption* (not a finding) of innocence in court until there is a verdict
• a verdict of *not guilty* is not a finding of innocence
• findings of factual innocence are relatively rare in the US courts; mostly relevant in expungement proceedings iirc
• Trump hasn’t been charged bc of a DOJ policy that makes impeachment proceedings the only venue for resolving federal criminal offenses by a serving president
• the special counsel has said in writing and on television now that, while policy prevented him from charging or accusing the President, the investigation did not exonerate him.

It’s pretty obvious to me that the President did not personally track the McCain from port to port, identify a moment when their paths may cross, and issue orders to forestall his own temper tantrum. I don’t think that’s the issue here. Do the senior reporters in the press room?
The Nixon-era formulation, “what did the president know and when did he know it?” is a pretty blinkered way of thinking about how a president operates. He creates an environment where his attendants seek to obtain his praise and avoid his wrath.
That environment reportedly led to a dishonorable attempt to hide a Navy ship from his eyes. The issue is what is he going to do about this embarrassment. Is he going to articulate why it was wrong, or vow to change his behavior? Or will he praise the effort as well intentioned?

If you haven’t read the Mueller report yet, I hope you will. justice.gov/storage/report…
If you take the time to read the report, you will learn—on page 2!—that this tweet from the White House is a lie.
Here is everything Mueller said about “collusion.” They don’t have a firm idea of what it means and didn’t evaluate it.

They quoted the wrong paragraph!
Gotta look at "First," and "Second," not so much "Third,"
The SCO's idea is that there's some great constitutional advantage to speaking in riddles--"we wouldn't tell you if the president committed a crime, but we would tell you if he did not commit a crime, and we're not telling you that" is preferable to "he obstructed justice."

Outside the Old Bailey in London. In just under two hours, a hearing will start to determine whether Tommy Robinson must go through another contempt of court proceeding, which could send him to jail. I’ll be covering the case live.
Crowd of mostly Tommy Robinson supporters gathering outside the Old Bailey.
Here’s the anti-Tommy demonstration.

06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."
