1. @TheJusticeDept must create a strike force to look at Kremlin influence in elections. Congress Members with unexplained Kremlin contacts should be among first @FBIWFO interviews. @LeaderMcConnell has Deripaska connection & @RandPaul's has reported frequent embassy visits.
2. Also the crew that went to the Kremlin on July 4. I'd interview @SteveDaines first. He was only one on trip not in in the 2016 cycle. I believe the Kremlin funded it. Make the connection to that as part of a larger conspiracy that led to the insurrection, and these folks
3. might be looking at the grand prize. Here is the 2016 cycle. Coats, Ayotte & @SenatorBurr have likely already cooperated. This can't wait. It may turn the Capitol attack into the Capital offense.

Roberts not presiding puts the Senate trial at risk of collateral attack by #SCOTUS. CJ Roberts should open the trial and hand the gavel to the President Pro Tempore @SenatorLeahy and be presiding to conduct the votes to convict and bar from office. @SenateDems @SenSchumer
Art. I, 3"The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside . . .
This bonehead move is slow pitch to the radical right on the Court to let Trump run in 2024. Am I the only person with a copy of the Constitution? If Roberts doesn't want to come, let him resign. @SenSchumer @SenatorLeahy @neal_katyal @tribelaw @SenatorDurbin @RepJerryNadler

1. All those who attacked the Capitol deserve to be punished. Period. But with thousands of potential defendants, the Speedy Trial Act is a problem. It generally requires trial in 70 days for serious misdemeanors or felonies. But Congress can act to appoint temporary Magistrate
2. Judges to conduct proceedings remotely for the least criminal liable defendants. Every trespasser gets a criminal record if convicted. The ones who don't take a general plea offer of guilty or no contest to a trespassing charge are then put in the trial bucket that may result
3. in amended charge that could include a felony insurrection charge carrying 10 years. DOJ & FBI resources can then be focused on the conspirators and major inciters to see that those cases are ready to go to indictment. This is not impossible, but they need to look at ways to

1. All @SenateGOP @HouseGOP who are still pushing deadly #Trump #insurrectionist #propaganda that Trump won Nov. 3rd, are giving aid & comfort to an #insurrection. @TheJusticeDept must punish all who physically attacked our Capitol, but must indict & hold all these dangerous
3. Then we can start the healing process. But no insurrectionist should ever serve in our Capitol and conviction for aid and comfort under 18 U.S. Code § 2383 - Rebellion or insurrection - mandates the 14th Amendment ban on holding public office.

1. When I started practicing Bankruptcy law 30 years ago, student debt was dischargeable under a higher standard than normal consumer debt. We allow federal taxes to be discharged under special rules. The Bankruptcy Courts are uniquely positioned to look at each case on its own
2. and make the decision. I expect that a clearly written modification of 11 USC 523 can give immediate relief. Modification of consumer credit reporting rules can help avoid issues related to renting and other areas that credit reports can impair a person's fresh start.
3. @JoeBiden knows Bankruptcy law and I hope he looks at this as an immediate means to address the most pressing needs of student loan borrowers. The administration of the guarantee payments to lenders can be done in a way to encourage workouts and debt reductions.

1. The three @SenateDems who are reported to be currently against ending filibuster are not in the 2022 cycle. @Sen_JoeManchin @SenatorTester @SenatorSinema. Why would they want to keep a Jim Crow relic that may result in the destruction of the US economy?
2. @McConnellPress was happy to end filibuster to pack the court with extremists. Why aren't these @SenateDems willing to stand up to the bully? We won't get a second chance to save our economy from the coming crash. No state will be immune from the disaster the Senate can avoid.
3. Each of these members were in the 2018 cycle and won't be running again until 2024. If we don't act to fix the economy over Emperor Koch's objection carried by his stooge McConnell, we won't have a country. We need to do this now. End the filibuster and trust the majority.

1. The @FBIWFO @TheJusticeDept resources should be directed at the powerful people who conspired to incite the insurrection. Trump, Meadows, Charles Koch, @rupertmurdoch @SenateGOP @HouseGOP who conspired or gave aid and comfort. They all need to be charged with insurrection,
2. seditious conspiracy, advocating overthrow and obstructing Congress. I make the potential sentences at 70 years that should mean they can't make bail. Then push the trials under the speedy trial rule to be commenced in 70 days. Then start the end of their lives. @HawleyMO
