Black-letter law with two black holes of meaning: "thing of value" and "in connection with a U.S. election." And of course even black-letter law has to be consistent with First Amendment. https://t.co/MqFT6bF46f

It booms, it busts. That's why they rely on people coming in and then going back out. Reuters seemed to say this was a horrible thing. https://t.co/eNtLYDDTqm

Of course, exactly the same phenomenon may be at work with Never Trumpers. Pushed Russian collusion theory big time. Turned out not much there. Trump in many respects not as bad as advertised. So reconsider? No! Work themselves into frenzy about Ukraine and impeach. https://t.co/TAmRQOWF8O

That's what they are apparently doing: "The Permian Basin is short 15,000 workers, with demand met by paying overtime and shipping workers in and out." In other words, they aren't short 15,000 workers (that's a PR stat from the employers' group). https://t.co/ATrMftwgxP

Distinguishing "people's business" from "political" is famously muddy, often impossible. Almost always a mix of both. Trump probably thought he was finding wrongdoing. So call it 35%peoples/65% politics? Impeach? Clinton bombs Sudan factory-80/20? 60/40? https://t.co/yurRvq6VDy https://t.co/vHf3ef7JBN

Here is what Trump said. Don't know what @chucktodd is getting so huffy about. Trump does attack Todd, and NBC, and Hunter Biden. Is it Hunter they're really upset about? https://t.co/f2RyrvyXdO https://t.co/O9audJ7iHq

JUST A GUESS: Because the permanent State Dept. bureaucrats are notoriously slow-moving, conventional twits committed to their own policies, not the president's? (As FDR, Nixon, JFK, among others, discovered. Kennedy used Bobby to get around them.) https://t.co/SDnYLPucV1

Always read @xeni for Epstein content.

So AFTER Epstein's 2012 'I-can-access-TRILLIONS' boast freaked out the Gates team & made them doubt Epstein, Gates STILL hung out with him?
"Mr. Gates and Mr. Epstein kept seeing each other. Ms. Arnold would not say how many times the two had met."
Not the end of this story. https://t.co/fwVSXpMMc7

To be fair, Arnold's quote continues: "–and Epstein’s habit of spontaneously bringing acquaintances in to meet Mr. Gates.” Still.

"In March 2013, Mr. Gates flew on Mr. Epstein’s Gulfstream plane from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey to Palm Beach, Fla. … Ms. Arnold said Mr. Gates — who has his own $40 million jet — hadn’t been aware it was Mr. Epstein’s plane."
