To the many Members of Congress — especially the newest who went out on a limb to support impeachment early and loudly, and all the Democrats who’ve been beating this drum:

Thank you.
And to donald trump, without whom none of this would be possible:

Let’s see what happens now that you stood in the middle of 5th Avenue and shot yourself in the foot.

Tweet #4 includes 6 Democratic presidents. Notes:

1. 1900-present

2. Only presidents ELECTED DIRECTLY TO OFFICE, not by ascendancy (TR, Truman, LBJ); because voters could not consider their age at the time they became president

3. Their age 16 months prior to inauguration

You still don’t get how feckless Congress is.
Nadler needs to be let off the leash. Give him free rein. He knows what to do.
Highlights:

• “Nadler is talking about law, Pelosi is talking about politics.”

• “Nadler is looking at high crimes and misdemeanors, and we are inundated with them in the Judiciary Committee. But Pelosi is looking at the political side of it."

Bottom line: @JoeBiden did himself a lot of good.

That doesn’t mean a perfect game or even a no-hitter. Doesn’t mean others didn’t do well too.

But he did what he needed to do: turn in a solid performance to allay concerns among Ds, his supporters & donors; and tamp down media.
Editor’s Note: I was not speaking for @GundyGirl or for that matter all 327.2 million Americans.

We regret the confusion, and regret joining twitter in the first place.

WaPo: “Biden delivered the kind of performance his supporters have been waiting for. [He] did not dominate from start to finish and did not make it through the evening mistake free. But on balance this was the kind of evening he needed.” — @danbalz

DOJ IG Is Preparing to Deliver Verdict on the Russia Inv’n

Steele interviewed by IG & found Steels Dossier CREDIBLE.

So much so THEY WILL EXTEND HIS INV’N.

This is HUGE and blows GOP talking points outta the water.

BTW Steele did the FiFA Inv’n —it’s connected.
🌀Insanity2🌀

Why Steele chose RU mob expert Bruce Ohr as FBI liaison:

Finally, the FBI agent spoke. No deal, he said;

Mogilevich must surrender.

BRUCE OHR said little, but his unwillingness to negotiate was signal enough:

The DOJ would not compromise with the Russian mafia.
🌀Insanity3🌀

Epstein: “bounty hunter,” recovering lost or stolen money for the gov’t or the wealthy.

“Mogilevich↔️Robert Maxwell↔️Ghislaine Maxwell↔️Epstein↔️Bear Sterns↔️Felix Sater”

“Epstein ➡ Leon Black ➡ Apollo Global Mgmt ➡ CIM ➡ Macklowe ➡ TrumpSoho ➡ Sater/Arif”

"In 1975, you could hire six senators for the price of one CEO of a large corporation. In 1992, you could hire twenty-three senators for the price of a single CEO. By 2000, you could buy the whole Senate, plus five additional senators, for one CEO." washingtonpost.com/news/postevery…
"In absolute terms, lawmakers have had their pay cut by 10 percent since 2009. And like most Americans (but not CEOs), they received less compensation in 2015 than they did in 1975." washingtonpost.com/news/postevery…
The salary for members of Congress is less than a 26-year-old first-year lawyer gets at a top corporate law firm. The differential is starker at a state level. Politicians have seen pay stagnation along with teachers, social workers, journalists, and most American workers...

SCOOP: PELOSI told senior Democrats she wants to see Trump “in prison.”

The remark came amid a debate with NADLER in which she again rebuffed his push to open an impeachment inquiry. @heatherscope has the scoop:

politico.com/story/2019/06/…
@heatherscope NADLER has been arguing that an impeachment inquiry is the surest way to encourage courts to take Dems seriously when they ultimately litigate to enforce subpoenas for testimony from people like Don McGahn and Hope Hicks.

Pelosi, so far, won't budge. politico.com/story/2019/06/…
@heatherscope The Post has confirmed @heatherscope's #HeatherScoop: washingtonpost.com/powerpost/pelo…
