How do we protect our national secrets from #TrumpCrimeFamily? Not one of them <tRUmp, Ivanka, Jared + half the WH staff/cabinet> could get a LEGITIMATE security clearance. I have ZERO faith there are enough leaders w/ a spine to limit damage, he already fired them😕

What do we do about the #Republicans* & opportunists that are supporting/defending this coup attempt? At what point do we call it f*cking #Sedition & #Treason?

WTF is #Pompeo doing? How are we supposed to be ok with people like him & #Barr who think this shit is funny?🤬

* RNC got hacked in 2016 too, but those files were never publicly released🤨
I've heard information that would explain this in a reasonable & legal way. On surface it looks like Putin shared some hacked data w/ tRUmp, so he could use it to keep Republicans in check🤔

I'm now having nightmares about the lengths #GOP & #BenedictDonald are willing to go to, in efforts to illegally steal the presidency from the voters.

I'm also worried about what people in HHS, ICE, CBP, etc. will do, to try to hide their agency/personal criminal exposure😒

/3
I can't be the only person concerned about preserving paper trails & evidence? That may be our only chance to help us in trying to hold everyone in this administration accountable. One example, their roles in separating & stealing children from families #WhereAreTheChildren

/4
That's just one of the overwhelming issues we'll have to tackle. What about all the cabinet level corruption? Like Mnuchin illegally refusing to comply w Congressional investigations & subpoenas (eg tRUmp's taxes). How many subpoenas (overall) has this administration ignored?

/5
If @TheDemocrats refuse to hold tRUmp & this “administration” (read: crime syndicate) accountable, the message will be LOUD & CLEAR - in theory and in practice, the law does NOT apply everyone equally, and there ARE people who are #AboveTheLaw - and we're ok with that.

/6
If you're not ok with it, that means you NEED to write legislation to protect the "unwritten rules", what we previously considered to be democratic, customary, & right. Things like releasing tax returns, peaceful transfer of power, anti-nepotism, conflicts/emoluments, etc.

/7
And you MUST improve the ability for Congress to actually do something about violations ~ you know, like when Cabinet officials ignore subpoenas or refuse to show up for testimony? I shouldn't have to explain what happens when there are no consequences😒

I feel fairly confident saying I believe the majority of Americans feel like EVERY time we've come to a crossroads in this country, those on the right side of history decided it was better to "keep the peace" than it was to hold those who threatened our country accountable.

/9
EVERY damn time, what happens? Those on wrong side of history choose to exploit the forgiveness & "2nd" chance😔
🔻Civil War:
- we chose reconstruction
- they chose Jim Crow
🔻Civil rights:
- we chose equality
- they chose assassinations, mayhem, and murder

They aren't ALWAYS on the wrong side of history b/c they are kind people w good character😒 They're on the wrong side because they believe in the ideals of white supremacy. Our refusal to say ENOUGH! (see Germany post-WWII) is how these seeds continue to be planted and grow.

/11
I don't know what else to say rn other than I'm really fucking tired of the Democrats' response to the DIRECT THREATS to our country & Constitution, is to send sternly written letters (that go right into the trash). These are BAD ACTORS, nothing is in good faith - NOTHING!
