"When people want to govern, collegiality helps. But that's not what they're doing. Things have been antagonistic since Gingrich and what I call his 'contract on America'. MAGA is just the latest extension of what Gingrich did." - Jen Taub on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/all-pres…
"I hope that Biden's AG is independent and does not take his 'unity' message to mean not holding accountable those who should be held accountable. My concern is that there may not be many people left after the slew of pardons." -- Jen Taub on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/all-pres…
"There is nothing stopping the House or Senate from holding hearings [on Trump admin crimes] akin to the 9/11 commission hearings or the financial crisis inquiry commission. There are so many crimes to choose from." -- Jen Taub on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/all-pres…
"At the state and local level, the president's pardon power doesn't reach. Cy Vance is looking at Trump for fraud, tax evasion and more. So much is up to Cy Vance, who is also up for re-election and is under tremendous pressure." -- Taub on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/all-pres…
[I am skeptical that Vance will do anything good on behalf of justice, and the tweet below shows why]:

"The US justice system caters to white-collar criminals, by which I mean people with high status and 'respectability' who commit crimes throughout the course of their occupation." -- Jennifer Taub on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/big-dirt…
"The most privileged can hire the best lawyers. Every step -- if you're caught, or investigated by a regulatory agency, or investigated by the DOJ; your plea bargain or trial or sentence -- is shaped by pre-existing status." -- Jen Taub on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/big-dirt…
"One of the things judges are supposed to consider is if the accused is a 'credit to the community'. So if you're cheating and know it, like Madoff, you give money to causes and charities so lawyers can use it when you get caught." -- Taub on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/big-dirt…

"In Russia, we saw that a great way for a leader to maintain power is to have oligarchs one level down. If they don't obey and let you do your own dirty work, then you can prosecute them. My fear is the US is doing this too." -- Jen Taub on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/big-dirt…
"We see Trump issuing blanket pardons for people; it's happening here. There's a way to get out of this, but the 'peaceful transition of power' is anything but. The GOP is utterly captured by a dangerous authoritarian kleptocrat." -- Taub on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/big-dirt…
"Trump didn't come out of nowhere. He rose because our system lets people like him get a pass. If you're wealthy, white and well-connected, you get second, third, infinite chances." -- Jennifer Taub on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/big-dirt…

"I'm wondering if Trump made good on his 2017 promise to form what he called an 'impenetrable cybersecurity unit' with Putin and allowed the massive Russian cyberattacks on the US government to happen." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/bill-bar…
"US national security was already in tatters before the 2020 Russian cyberattacks. As @AndreaChalupa notes, the installation of Trump in 2016 was a marriage between the Russian mafia in the East and the Russian mafia in the West." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/bill-bar…
"Russia may have been assisted in the attacks by people in the US govt. The reason I suggest this -- and it's only speculation now -- is because it happened before. One notable example is Russia's infiltration of the US Treasury in 2015." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/bill-bar…

"Russia committed the biggest cyberattack on the US in its history. Many warned this was coming but no one stopped it. We already had precursor hacks of depts and infrastructure and we have a Kremlin asset in office who invited them in." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/bill-bar…
"In the Obama era, Russia hacked the State Dept, the DOD, the White House, the DNC, the RNC, and the personal email of seemingly everyone in govt. With one big exception -- Hillary Clinton, due to her private server. How about that?" -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/bill-bar…
"We also had a prelude of Russian tactics used on the US with Ukraine. Hackers changed the Ukraine election results in 2014. Ukraine was able to catch this early and stop it because they're used to Kremlin aggression." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/bill-bar…

"The attempted coup has moved into its violence stage. First stage was rigging -- voter suppression, USPS sabotage, etc. Failed. Second phase was courts; that failed too. Now we're on to white supremacist street violence by Trump backers." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/bill-bar…
"The white supremacists in the streets are backed by the Sedition Caucus -- the 150+ Republicans who are acting like confederates. They should be treated like confederates, marked as traitors and made to face serious consequences." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/bill-bar…
"It's sedition. It cannot be laughed off or treated as a grift or viewed as inconsequential because they lost in court. They are building a narrative and acting with violence and it needs to be dismantled before it can grow even more." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/bill-bar…
