Thread on current political crises: 1-Barr & Pompeo are unfit for office & are deliberately misrepresenting their own subordinate's work purely for domestic partisan political gain. They must be removed from office, cannot be trusted to even remotely fairly carry out their duties
2-A large portion of the most damning statements about the president's conduct come not from partisan Democrats but from the president's own officials, some senior & appointed by HIM (Bolton, Sondland, Mulvaney) or by Trump himself & Giuliani, statements repeatedly corroborated
3-There are NO FACTS or CONTEXT that support any of Trump's main assertions or those of his defenders (other than the ones that have made that incriminate Trump). So their defense rests ENTIRELY on lies, gaslighting, and disinformation on Biden to try to make it about him.
4-Essentially, we have Democrats dealing with serious, factual, well corroborated, and essentially confessed facts about Trump's gross misconduct on one side and Republicans peddling an alternative fictional reality on the other. Our system has never operated like this before
5-We are not having a debate where both sides acknowledge basic facts and disagree on how important they are or how appropriate they are: one side is engaging in lies (often supported by Kremlin propaganda campaigns) and one is trying to operate in good faith. It's a farce
