15 Given the investigation’s focus on President Trump’s campaign, even a blind person can see that the true target of the Special Counsel’s investigation is President Trump, not defendant, and that defendant’s prosecution is part of that larger plan. Specifically, the charges against defendant are intended to induce defendant to cooperate with the Special Counsel by providing evidence against the President or other members of the campaign. Although these kinds of high-pressure prosecutorial tactics are neither uncommon nor illegal, they are distasteful.

Many Republicans won’t criticize Trump even when they don’t agree with him b/c it means siding with a media that nevers cuts him a break,turns even little things he does into an act of evil,are also unfair to them & in the end will still attack you anyway https://t.co/jv3A18ka4V

Five years ago, five GOP justices ignored facts and gutted the Voting Rights Act.

The second thing is to lock down all Dem votes.

When Gorsuch was confirmed McConnell had one more vote than he does now (Luther Strange).

Locking in all 49 Ds as nays shifts the focus to Collins, Murkowski, Flake and others and gives McConnell no margin for error.

Sanders was politely asked to leave after getting comped a meal.
