Rick: The party of Reagan's "I don't recall" has become Trump's "Oh, NOW I recall"
Sarah Kendzior: They recall, they don't care, they change their statements, & they don't get punished for it. All they care abt is losing their money & being locked up

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: Sessions feels comfortable running for office again because he was never held responsible for anything before, and he thinks he won't be held responsible again.

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: If this were me or you, we'd have been in jail long ago.

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: Treason, lying to the FBI, the financial crimes...Most people don't get to commit that many crimes in their lives. Is Trump a record holder in American history? It amazes me that people waffle at all on his impeachment.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: Did they forget that Trump committed treason? And admitted it? Multiple times? I can't believe they even question whether or not he should be impeached.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: When Trump tells a lie, it's bad. When he tells the truth, it's still bad. Trump is very good at being bad, but that's not an attribute I'd encourage in anyone.

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: What normally happens at this point is the circle around the dictator--which Trump wants to be--gets smaller and smaller. It's not entirely unexpected that Pam Bondi enters the scene again.

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: I live in a world where Henry Kissinger gets to live to age 96 while we had an entertainment rapture where we lost so many singers and actors in 2016.

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: My daughter was very excited to see that Juli Briskman, the woman who flipped off Trump, won her election.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: The Republicans who complained that the Democrats kept the testimonies private will probably flip and say the testimonies are too public and should be kept more private. They'll keep flipping back and forth.

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: I like Alexander Vindman's statement the best--it was simple, didn't include Latin. I think the politicians used a lot of Latin to show how much law they know.

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: This is a great opportunity to educate Americans & teach them about what's going on.

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: The Kremlin has had eyes on Ukraine for the entirety of its history. There's a very strong pro-democracy movement in Ukraine that's been growing over the last 20, 25 years, and the Kremlin wants to squash that.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: Russia is a mafia state that invades other countries in many ways, either by literally invading them or by invading them technologically like they did with us. They're making their moves & they don't want anything good.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: This isn't a Trump problem, it's an Obama problem--letting Russia invade Crimea without saying anything.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: It worries me that it took this whistleblower to move forward on impeachment. Trump has committed so many crimes. It's like a deck of 52 cards--you could put a different crime on each card. Pick a crime, any crime.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: I worry about the safety of every person who's testified as each one has been threatened. It's a big deal when it's done; I think it's a crime, but it's hard to tell since no one follows the law any more.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: All these court appointments by the Trump admin, we have an illegitimate government. Our election is insecure--why isn't anyone doing anything about it?
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: I know enough people who've been threatened very badly [after speaking up]; they'll go to, say, the Democratic party and ask for help & protection, & they're left out to dry.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: I'm worried that whistleblowers aren't being protected as they should be.
Rick: And the federal bench is packed, so no help there.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: The courts have been packed with people whose only loyalty is to Trump, not to the law. We're going to be living with this for decades.
