"[T]urn over every stone" doesn't sound like something you'd tell someone who only cared about the announcement, not the investigation … https://t.co/HeonYTF6Zc

On the other hand, going through two official bureaucracies, one of them [Ukraine] famously corrupt, sounds like a recipe for nothing happening–i.e. no investigation. https://t.co/B1Zu3Sck5T

One puzzle: Does anyone think "Ukraine's investigating Biden!" would be such a devastating attack line in 2020 (compared with "Biden's son took hundreds of thousands of dollars from a corrupt gas company for … what?")? Do voters have so much respect for Ukraine's probity? https://t.co/tg5HdoQugx

.@AlanTonelson is back. Why was he suspended? Twitter says he violated rule against "using a trending or popular hashtag with an intent to subvert or manipulate a conversation …" a) Huh? b) BS c) Isn't that what hashtags are for? d) how does the algorithm know "intent" anyway?

It's not a process argument, they say. Nobody's making a process argument! And yet … it sure seems to be a process argument. MLATs–why didn't he use MLATs? https://t.co/frncqLUSAL

TWITTER SUSPENDS TONELSON? The account of @AlanTonelson, about the mildest, most civil and fact-oriented tweeter around, has bizarrely been suspended. No reason given. Luckily Twitter can't block his calmly argued blog posts–like this one https://t.co/tAcasgjVPz

So I turn on my TV and here they are talking to Vindman about whether seeking a Burisma investigation was part of the "official policy of the U.S." or the product of the "policy formulation process"–as if U.S. policy wasn't what the president decides it is. https://t.co/vJjZqM5sIJ

Free idea for @choire: Interview the people at @Ford who had to come up with an "authentic" fake sound to give their new electric Mustang. You're welcome.

Also, if Trump's circumventing the normal official policy process is not the issue–almost irrelevant–we've sure spent a lot of time talking about it. https://t.co/DifKNeqJhq

McGeorge Bundy seems to have said the 9 people knew (the whole EXCOMM was a bit larger)–though it's not clear they knew how quid-pro-quo-y it would wind up being. Dobrynin said RFK said 4-5 people knew. All according to this > https://t.co/3tbklPIZBi

"Why did some government employees think…Trump's July 25 call to…Zelensky represented a lost opportunity, or poor judgment, while others thought it represented wrongdoing requiring congressional investigation? Democrats do not want the public to know." https://t.co/6brfuXN8Iy
