1. On @Lawrence @ZoeLofgren was sharp as a tack noting that July 25, 1974 clip @MSNBC ran of VA GOP congressman Butler saying how it was their duty to impeach came at the end of investigation not the beginning like now.

2. I checked and that clip was the day after #SCOTUS ruled what we all thought were smoking gun Oval Office tapes had to be released. Then from July 27 to 30 the @HouseJudiciary @JudiciaryGOP debated the Articles and on August 5, 1974 Nixon released the Oval Office tapes.

3. Nixon resigned on August 8. I think we're currently in mid-1973 not summer of 1974.

Oh! By the way. We have tapes too. IMO many. IMO i thef FISA's intercepts including the unmasked 702s are released, Trump will have to resign like Nixon. The FISA intercepts can

4. become the surrogates for the Nixon @WhiteHouse tapes. And it appears Barr acted to dirty them up by calling them "spying.' A clever way to keep them from Congress. But Congress should just keep going until they get them.

5. And pretty sure it's not just Trump. Almost a certainty @LindseyGrahamSC and other GOP members are in them. I'm betting the Midnight in Moscow crew of July 4th 2018 that all but one of whom were members of the 2016 GOP class is in them too. See highlighted names.

6. Get their 702s. I'm betting everything those clowns said and did is at the NSA. @SpeakerPelosi @RepJerryNadler @RepAdamSchiff @RepJeffries @FBIWFO

And I love Midnight in Moscow. Here you go. At 15:40 in this video the pianist Van Cliburn

7. struggles with Midnight in Moscow. Gorbachev and the Russians in the room join in. Softly. And the Cold War ended.
