1/ I spent four years in Bosnia & Herzegovina working to undermine ethno-nationalist/criminal elements opposed to implementing the Dayton Agreement. We pushed the rule of law not only in Bosnia and the Balkans, but throughout Europe and Africa. We had allies doing this: the
2/ European Union, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, Transparency International, the Open Society Foundation. The rule of law was a litmus test for transitioning governments. Now Trump, the GOP, and his enablers in government have destroyed this legacy & pillar.

Why Impeachment Might Be Trouble for Some Democratic Presidential Candidates nyti.ms/2nqBddV // I will stipulate that the evidence shows VP Biden did nothing wrong and neither did his son Hunter. That said, Hunter Biden is a sympton of what is wrong with politics. Nobody
2/ believes that Hunter Biden was worth $50,000 per month to sit on a Ukrainian gas company--unless his daddy was VP of the United States. That may have passed the ethics test of the Obama administration. But, it does not pass the smell test of electoral politics. Chelsea Clinton
3/ was another who waltzed into a high-paying job solely on the strength of her last name, not her accomplishments and merit. As Democrats try to appeal to all workers and families, displaying your class/race privileges may not be the wisest move of a Biden. Yes, Biden is victim

Whistleblower claimed Trump abused his office and that White House officials tried to cover it up wapo.st/2mQEXoT?tid=ss… // If you read the declassified complaint and annex by the whistleblower, this is much bigger than one incident. Indeed, more than one presidential call was

So who enjoyed reading about the declassification regarding the whistle blower from inside the FBI who went to the DOJ IG’s office & claimed whistle blower status while handing over copies of Comey’s 7 memos?
My goodness, didn’t any of you read the Comey report from last week?

Or did you buy the hot takes from the usual suspects telling you there was nothing in it?
How many of you missed this?

(Thread) Trump’s parade v. Rule of Law

Trump wants a military parade:
Russia’s State TV sees the military parade as evidence that Trump wants to emulate Putin—and they're right.
1/ Yes, Trump has authoritarian instincts. But the problem is bigger than that.

Here are 2 facts that can't be wished away:
💠1: The RNC raised $105 million in the second quarter politi.co/322ac0l
💠2: Trump’s approval remains steady at 42% projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval…
2/ Trump supporters and the GOP want Trump to emulate Putin. If that surprises you, see 👇


One way to understand U.S. politics is a clash between two kinds of authority:
💠Rule of Law
💠Charismatic Leader.
(Definitions from sociologist Max Weber.)
