.@HillaryClinton’s opening statement is brilliant. Must read. Can’t wait to read transcript of full testimony. Even more when will Trump have to testify??

More like the smoking gun tape that brought down Nixon when those missing FBI reports of interviews with this young victim are discovered — as they will be.

Having prosecuted the Watergate cover-up, I know obstruction when I see it. Thus is a huge cover-up.

In Battle for Evidence, Minnesota Sues Feds Over Fatal Border Patrol Shooting Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is concerned the federal government may “withhold” information about the death of ICU nurse Alex Pretti.

No state should have to worry about the federal government murdering protestors or destroying evidence and blocking access to facts, but we all gave to recognize the lies and obstruction we see. Worse than #Watergate

Powell, Trump, and the return of the Saturday Night Massacre - The Boston Globe Like Nixon, Trump is testing the limits of presidential power by targeting an independent official whose only offense is doing his job.

Given SCOTUS questions, especially Kavanaugh’s, in yesterday's Lisa Cook arguments, coupled either with his “real world” comment that “what goes around comes around”, I believe Cook, Powell & our economy are safe — for now.

Jury acquits Chicago man facing charge of soliciting murder of Border Patrol Cmdr. Bovino Chicago construction worker Juan Espinoza Martinez was found not guilty of putting a bounty on the head of Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino.

Jury acquits man in Bovino murder for hire trial. Facts matter to juries and prosecutors didn’t support their allegations here (or in the many other cases against protestors of ICE). Jury sent DOJ message: “stop the overreach.” Hope the govt hears message.

Share your opinion with me please. Is defunding ICE different than defunding police? Should Dems vote no on
budget and risk shutdown? How else can we stop ICE’s violent and unconstitutional tactics?

If he had taken the bar exam after law school and become a lawyer, that would have been a great trial tactic.

I’m listening to Jack Smith testimony for you. He’s calm, maybe too much so. Missed chance to say Cassidy Hutchinson was telling truth about what she heard, that what she was told might not be accurate and that is why hearsay is not admissible in trials. Jordan timed break for maximum drama…

Today on @VelshiMSNOW
I said there is no legal basis to invoke Insurrection Act and that I didn't think Trump would do it. Now @wapo reports that 1,500 soldiers with Army’s 11th Airborne Division are ready to possibly deploy to MN following Trump’s Insurrection Act threat. Let’s hope I'm right.
