@MMFlint 1/ Michael, I hear your frustration in this, I share it; however, in mulling today's testimony..in retrospect, while certainly not the 'Smoking Gun' we all sought, I do not think the testimony (esp. pm session) is as inconsequential as one may initially believe..

@MMFlint 2/ Democrats were able to make the Public newly aware of Mueller Report details/findings & tell Public MUELLER FOUND:

▶trmp NOT EXONERATED
▪Russia attacked US/Elections
▪Russia DID hack/steal-work w/ Wikileaks to disseminate Clinton/DNC emails
▪Russia WANTED a trmp win

@MMFlint ▪Russia baited trmp campaign
▪trmp campaign aware Russia had stolen Clinton/DNC data-worked w/ Wikileaks
▪trmp campaign ACCEPTED, coordinated & benefitted from stolen data-& seeking more if available
▪trmp campaign/staff had dozens of Russian contacts

@MMFlint 4/ Russia is still ACTIVELY trying to interfere in 2020 election/politics
▪trmp LIED abt Russia contacts
▪trmp staff/campaign LIED abt Russia contacts/meetings- & several indicted/convicted
▪trmp attempted to obstruct investigation thru various acts whether successful, or not

@MMFlint 5/ ..& currently still stonewalling
▪oh..there's still more, but I'm getting really tired..can you or anyone else looking thru glass- half-full add to this list of positive findings today..?

ALL these things move us closer to beginning an **IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY**

@MMFlint 6/ which would let Dems officially investigate, even gathering docs previously out of reach, call FACT-witnesses, etc
AND..
lets Dems vote on impeaching the president, but NOT necessarily referring it to Senate for prosecution (which they will not do {at this time anyway}), but

@MMFlint 7/ has effect of informing public (*explore this option more)...and may shelter Dems fr big election-reaction fallout..

...worn out..

p.s...so we can cut Mueller a small break cz he is older & had to operate under DOJ policy, nazi-Barr fascist rules, & ENORMOUS Dem expectations

@MMFlint pps..Michigan gal here..love ur work & agree w/most all ur positions..although I still have hope we can mobilize & energize Dem/Prog/L-Indep & generally left-forward voters, cz WE are the majority in the US (NOT R/Cons), & if we ALL 🌊🌊GOTV in🌊2020, trmp doesn't have a chance!!

@MMFlint @threadreaderapp plz unroll
