Crazy thought: Maybe this article suggests why Obama has been so silent about the impeachment push: He knows you sometimes have to lean on foreign governments to investigate pols. Maybe he’s done it himself? … https://t.co/bk72vWNxFK

“The Ukraine complaint seems to be the work of a group of people, supported by significant institutional power, not only in the intelligence community, but in the Democratic Party and the commercial press.” Taibbi in @RollingStone https://t.co/ni85jePjDU

Also involves litigating all of Biden & family’s involvement in Ukraine—to show Trump’s corruption concern was “baseless”— which at least his Dem rivals might appreciate. https://t.co/bk72vWNxFK

Since it’s sometimes OK to ask a foreign government to investigate a rival, Dems have to show bad faith, which basically involves litigating Trump’s character & term in office. Seems a lot like what elections are for. https://t.co/B0TiZN5J8P

Clarifying. Seems a bit severe, though. Are we going to go through impeachment proceedings for every president who jawbones the Fed in his last year on the grounds that his motives are partisan? https://t.co/CzqJr9OvpX

Do you think we’ll now get the full, true story from Wexner? I don’t either! But you’d think he’ll have to come up with something more than he’s come up with. https://t.co/bf5JoN7kfb

Overall income inequality (e.g. “Gini Index”) could still be going up as the rich get richer. But if you care about social equality what matters is raising incomes at bottom, for low-earners who were in danger of dropping out of bottom of society. (Still are, but getting better.) https://t.co/vs9nw4An2Y

I’m sure that’s part of it-as @DKThomp says. But min wage has increased in only 22 states (+ DC) by my count. Slightly under half US population. Some of the increases are puny inflation adjustments. Keeping a (relative) lid on immigration tightens labor market across the board. https://t.co/Zh28cUMTVM

These tweets reflect the policy disagreement with Trump that @aaronjmate is talking about—why Zelensky call is being elevated into a “high crime.” We knew Trump was not gung-ho on Ukraine when we elected him. https://t.co/ROPAe5QxaX

Of all the things Trump has done, why pick the Zelensky call to impeach him? Because it offended the part of the national security elite that is obsessed with Ukraine and Russia, argues @aaronjmate in @thenation-yes @thenation. https://t.co/zYi7I7WspD

I would say it was procedure virtually guaranteed to invite a really embarrassing front page story. “High crimes” is supposed to be something bigger in my book. [Last item here: https://t.co/ULB1wFrYBx] https://t.co/PjJGdFbmHh

I meant to include pressuring foreign governments in the hypothetical. I think Dems would pressure foreign governments to investigate Trump, and I’m not sure that would be wrong. https://t.co/DmJLoSphK1

If Trump’s defeated in 2020 but remains 2024 contender, will Dems remember that it’s an “attack” on the “basic rules of democracy” to investigate Trump & his family’s iffy foreign dealings (China, Russia, etc.)? I don’t think so either. https://t.co/jkdpEKeGPm

Same to you! Seems crazy to interpret anything a foreign govt. does that helps a US pol as a campaign contribution. (“Winston, if you’d say something nice about lend-lease it would help.”) https://t.co/cRIO1vdHjQ https://t.co/OdFj1IAnl0

EPSTEIN MYSTERY REMAINS: “But the documents do not say who was paying vast sums of money to Mr. Epstein’s new venture …” Hmmm. Saying this useful NYT report ‘raises as many questions as it answers’ would be an understatement, no? https://t.co/M4O1bisASy
