Amending this. Trump, Barr, Ratcliffe and #Moscowmitch together open invitation to Russia, N Korea and MBS to go after Democrats and our democracy w impunity.
Axis of oligarchs and despots.

2/And according to the DOJ the President cannot be indicted for crimes while in office. So what brake is there now on him cheating/working w/for govts again to win 2nd term, crack down thru IC/DOJ on his opponents? Today feels like most dangerous day of Trump Presidency.
3/Confirming Ratcliffe is a crossing the Rubicon moment for the GOP. Threat to our democracy now clear as day. Responsible Rs must take a stand vs Trump and #MoscowMitch. Alarm bells ringing loudly here, across the world too. Our President is unfit to lead our great nation.
4/Recommend this really important @glennkirschner2 @NBCNewsTHINK essay which explains in plain simple English why"no prosecution of a President" concept simply cannot apply to crimes committed to win the Presidency. nbcnews.com/think/opinion/… Creates massive incentive to cheat.
@glennkirschner2 @NBCNewsTHINK 5/Like with #MoscowMitch, questions about Ratcliffe's refusal to side with Intel Community and take Putin's side have to be front and center now. Loyalty to Trump does not equal loyalty to country. These are serious matters.
@glennkirschner2 @NBCNewsTHINK 6/And of course that Trump/GOP are already using illicit campaign tactics like what Russia used here in 2016 is another reason to view this a DEFCON 5 moment for our democracy. medium.com/p/faa6c3b03e8c…
@glennkirschner2 @NBCNewsTHINK 7/So on day 1 of this Ratcliffe fiasco we find out he lied about "putting terrorists in jail." Might already be time for a new DNI candidate.
