If President Trump pardons Roger Stone, it'll be a green light to Trump’s accomplices to keep breaking the law & covering up for him

If any Republican actually cares about preserving rule of law—they'll take their head out of the sand & stand up to Trumphttps://t.co/rRj5H2wg5d

Sure, last night’s #DemocraticDebate was messy. That’s democracy. Guess what else was messy? The 2016 GOP debates. Now, @tedcruz has @realDonaldTrump ahead of his wife and kids in his trust. We’re going to be fine.

Let's do it. Let's completely close the borders. Supermarkets would run out of food, petrol stations would run out of petrol. But at least this woman would be stopped from ever going on holiday again and might learn something. Or doesn't she think she'd be affected? https://t.co/FW4oCj9RPr

Donald Trump 'offered Julian Assange a pardon if he denied Russia link to hack' https://t.co/vIaodyZMVk

My guess is that Dana Rohrabacher could walk into court tomorrow, put his hand on a Bible, and say that Russia paid Assange, Trump knew it, and Trump offered Assange a pardon, and the average Trumper would say: "That's how you make America great."

— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) February 19, 2020

WH's Grisham says report Rohrabacher floated Assange a pardon is a "fabrication." But Charles Johnson, who set up R's meeting with Assange, told me 2 years ago that's exactly what was discussed: a pardon for evidence Russians weren't source of DNC emails. https://t.co/FtShwmwJ4W

Trump, who
-paid Stormy Daniels to lie
-told Jr to lie abt Trump Tower mtg
-ordered McGann to lie to Mueller
-tried to coerce Zelensky to lie
-mocked a reporter's disability bc he wouldn't lie to back up DT's lie abt dancing 9/11 Muslims

assures you he NEVER told Assange to lie. https://t.co/CKffXKow96
