LIVE NOW: @Lawrence hosts a conversation with Sen. Michael Bennet at #TribFest19. nbcnews.to/2nUD3UD
@Lawrence After a question about why he thought Mitch McConnell voted to get phone call transcript released, Sen. Bennet said: “I would never, ever want any of you, or my children, or anybody that I know to be as cynical or malevolent as Mitch McConnell."
@Lawrence Sen. Bennet: "[Sen. McConnell] said 'yes' because he believed, maybe rightly or maybe wrongly, that the complaint wasn't really gonna hurt President Trump very much.”
@Lawrence "You have a president who is bending the Constitution to fund his wall, taking appropriated money away from what Congress has done, and two senators here who supported it."

— Sen. Ted Cruz on American military intervention at #TribFest19
@chrislhayes "I believe the most powerful tool in politics and in diplomacy is the bully pulpit of the presidency. I wish this president used it differently."

Speaker Pelosi says on AG Barr: "He's gone rogue ... I think where they are going is the cover up of the cover up, and that's very really sad for them. To have a Justice Department go so rogue ... now it just makes matters worse."
Speaker Pelosi: "The president of the United States used taxpayer dollars to shake down the leader of another country for his own political gain."

1.I'm fascinated that The Democrats, that have spent the entire time since the 2016 election on investigating foreign interference, are now upset about a phone call where the Pres is alleged to ask for Ukraine's help in getting info on the 2016 election and foreign interference.
2. This should put to rest any lingering notions that the President engaged in collusion with foreign govts during the 2016 election. Obviously, he would not ask for Zelensky's help had that been the case.
3. If the Dems are going to claim that the Pres' withholding of military aid is tied to Ukraine continuing their investigation into Burisma, why don't they have the same curiosity about Biden's insistence that they fire the Prosecutor who was doing just that? Rhetorical question.

Question for constitutional scholars: given Mitch McConnell’s general indifference to democratic/constitutional norms and practices, do we think that the constitution actually requires him to hold a Senate trial if the House impeaches President Trump?
2 For those watching at home here is the relevant text.
3/ Clearly the intent is that the Senate will hold a trial. But that is not a standard I’ve seen McConnell care much about. And the text does not seem to specifically require it. It just gives the sole power to hold them.

.@BuzzFeedBen presses John Hickenlooper on his pride in setting strict enviro regs for fracking vs. ppl calling for total de-carbonization: "If you ban fracking you're basically taking someone's private property. That's fine -- if you live in Russia. If you live in China."
@BuzzFeedBen John Hickenlooper on Sen. Michael Bennet running in 2020 too (Bennet is former chief of staff and current friend): Says he last talked to him about a month ago, and he "certainly gave every evidence that is likely he would run."
@BuzzFeedBen Asked about running for Senate instead of president in 2020, Hickenlooper says Schumer has called him a couple of times and is "very persuasive." But Hick says he think he's not "cut out" to be in the Senate, even if his pres run goes poorly. Feels a "calling" for pres run.

Mitch McConnell wrote an op-ed calling for bipartisanship, and people are not having it

2/"The date was Oct. 23, 2010 — nearly two years into President Barack Obama’s first term and two weeks before the first midterm elections of his presidency. Speaking to the National Journal, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) made a now-infamous statement:
3/“The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.” As The Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler has pointed out, reading the quote in its full context makes it clear that McConnell was saying that it would be impossible for

1. In Sep 2016, during a secret briefing for congressional leaders, the CIA informed the Congress about Russian interference with the election. McConnell objected to declassifying the information & making it public, claiming bipartisanship issues.
