President pressuring the GA Sec of State to cheat on his behalf. Yesterday. It was recorded.

Why one wonders is the President so desperate to stay in office? I don't believe this is just abt his ego - he seems genuinely worried abt what will happen if he loses....jail? Novichok?
From @ThePlumLineGS:

More:
So just go look up the statute Bromwich refers to here - 52 U.S. Code § 20511

It is as clear as day the President has been caught breaking US election law - for at least the third time - and deserves to be prosecuted.

Would be appropriate for the House to make criminal referrals on Trump and Meadows to the Department of Justice this week.
Trump has criminal exposure in at least 3 election law cases:

Stormy - Cohen went to jail, Trump un-indicted co-conspirator (pretty clear)

Ukraine - open criminal referral made by CIA General Counsel, caused Impeachment

Georgia - also pretty clear.

Precedent here of sending criminal referrals to FBI/DOJ is important. It's a vital tool at Congress' disposal that may need to get employed a great deal over next few yrs as we learn more about the misdeeds of the Trump era.

Important leadership from @tedlieu @RepKathleenRice.
There are at least three live criminal investigations into Trump which can begin the afternoon of Jan 20th - the Stormy affair, CIA referral from Ukraine fiasco, and now Georgia.

Repeated pattern makes prosecution more likely.
Documenting potential crimes by Trump, his family and his staff helps create a record for any future prosecution or court activity. The more evidence of wrongdoing the more likely prosecution and conviction are.

The US needs an urgent, public conversation on how best to speed up our vaccination regime. There is an alarming lack of urgency to the current efforts, and we can't expect the Biden team to be able to make huge changes right away. Offer some initial thoughts in a thread below...
And it needs to be a national project, all of us working together, and not something left to the states. Huge opportunity for the Biden team to create a sense of common purpose in our collective defeat of the virus - not something he did, but something we all did together.
Here's a smart doc making the case for rethinking our current strategy

Current leisurely Trump approach did not take into account 1) dramatic spread in recent weeks 2) emergence of the variant. We have to mass vaccinate now as way to slow spread/variant.

Essentially the only strategy Trump has had to defeat COVID was to hope vaccines would come quickly. They have - but of course this godawful corrupt Administration had no plan for how people would actually get the vaccine.

An infuriating thread.
The Administration never established a federal response to COVID, despite all the federal tools they had been given - CDC, FEMA, HHS, DOD - to manage a crisis like this. There is no federal infrastructure, no command and control, no plan - just hope, pray states can manage.
The failure to establish a national and testing regime, with the feds working alongside the states in a single command and control structure, is haunting the vaccine rollout now. There simply is no federal system to oversee the vaccine rollout - it has never been established.

Trump's corruption of his pardon power taints McConnnell's judicial project for all time. A "Trump Judge" will connote corruption, a denigration of the rule of law, not its power. His 3 SCOTUS picks are stained - by him, and corrupt process all 3 used to ascend to the Court.
While exonerating criminals, murderers, traitors, Trump has rushed to put people to death at a rate not seen in generations. Why? Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Coney Barrett - you want to be associated with this, for all time? A frenetic rush to kill people?
No one associated with Trump should be able to call themselves a "Justice." There is no justice here. Entire right wing legal movement exposed now as full of frauds, hucksters, cowards. It's all bullshit.

Don't think there has been enough attention given to how important the blueing of the heavily Mexican-American parts of the US - AZ, CA, CO, NM, NV, TX - have been to the Democrats in recent years.

Yes, a thread.
The victories of Mark Kelly in AZ and John Hickenlooper in CO means that all 8 Senate seats in AZ, CO, NM, NV are now held by Democrats. In 2004 Dems held 2 of these 8 seats.

cnn.com/2020/12/02/pol…
In 2004 when George W. Bush won re-election he won AZ, CO, NM, NV. This year Dems won all 4 states and their 31 electoral college votes. That's a consequential swing. cnn.com/2020/11/30/pol…
