"[Trump] snatched the Republican nomination without winning majorities because his more traditional rivals divided the vote and refused to bow out." Huh? Says here Trump won a 50+% majority in every primary after4/19. (Cruz didn't drop out until May.) https://t.co/ActPdBnSQe

Huh? The idea that in 2016 Trump won the nomination because the opposition was fractured turned out to be wishful MSM thinking, no? When it was 1 on 1, Trump won too. https://t.co/XylPaTfmFc

Is it me, or are the attempts on my timeline to salvage impeachment — given Trump's plausible reason to investigate the Bidens — growing increasingly strained? He was sneaky! That's it. https://t.co/EioG2ZR0Ff

.@nytimes being consistent that Bolton says Trump wanted to hold aid until Ukraine actually "conducted the investigations," not just "announced" them. The Narrative has subtly shifted in way that favors Trump https://t.co/YM5lHLAvvE

Suddenly not sure I agree with @Peggynoonannyc that compelling Hunter's testimony would be an act of "sadism." https://t.co/3GI5A18jKA

Deleted a comment on a @Jdawsey1 tweet, which I misread. He was saying his story added a few details to the @NYTimes'.

Wouldn't bother me except it'll take a lot of time on charges that shouldn't've been filed. Sounds like he'll exculpate Trump from a) charge Trump didn't want actual evidence or investigation-just announcement b) Schiff "parody" charge that he wanted Ukraine to make stuff up. https://t.co/BkoBDf4vr6

Of course Hunter can provide insight. If he can offer no justification for his big Burisma fee other than a crooked one, it means getting Ukraine to investigate him served a legitimate public purpose. https://t.co/yFwEyBisDf

PORSCHES can be big trouble –something about them makes people angry. They seem too fancy. Head of Getty Museum pushed out when he had them buy him a Porsche Cayenne. Might still have job if he'd settled for similar VW Touareg! https://t.co/DODlpjKbhR https://t.co/Fr3F9W5uAH

Don't quite see how @NYTimes, @maggieNYT and @nytmike get away with saying Trump wants witnesses "who had nothing to do with his efforts related to Ukraine, including Hunter Biden." H. Biden was the target of those efforts. Had a lot "to do" with them! https://t.co/bIagKmH81u

From Bolton's account, looks like Trump wanted an ACTUAL INVESTIGATION of Biden, not just the announcement of an investigation (as many impeachers charged). At least he wanted the actual evidence that Ukraine had. https://t.co/nnn8xg2mx7

A key point is, @DarrellIssa's watered-down amnesty plan came just when the Ryan types who favored a non-watered-down amnesty were planning to sneak weaker version (like Issa's) thru House, to get to a conference with Senate. Issa was tool. https://t.co/viFg9XLK9M

Amnesty sellout @DarrellIssa shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as @KrisKobach1787 . I don't care who Issa's running against. Better blatant than latent. https://t.co/viFg9XLK9M https://t.co/H8l3DCR0b7
