This Week In Weird Twitter, Volume 124

I’m not going to lie to y’all. It’s a crowded field and, thus far, my candidacy hasn’t gained much traction. Sure, I’ve probably got grassroots support, but I’m not in it for support.

Andrew Napolitano: Mueller didn’t try to indict Trump because he knew Barr would never let him do so

Does this explain Mueller’s mystifying punt on obstruction? Surely he read the strange unsolicited memo that Barr sent to Rod Rosenstein last year, arguing at length that the president can’t be charged with obstruction when he’s exercising a lawful power granted to him by the Constitution (e.g., firing the director of the FBI). He must […]

Politico: Sen. Gillibrand is struggling for attention and donors

Politico Magazine published a feature piece on Sen. Gillibrand’s run for the White House today, but the tone of the piece probably isn’t as upbeat as Gillibrand was hoping it would be. It’s titled “Kirsten Gillibrand’s Failure to Launch” and it opens by focusing on her inability (thus far) to meet both parts of the […]
