   1/ When I testified about the Mueller Report to @HouseJudiciary, the topic was evidence of obstruction of Justice. But no GOP members asked me about obstruction. They didn’t make any effort to challenge the conclusion there was significant evidence of criminal conduct by Trump. https://t.co/bCrkAZA1M2

   3/ When Mueller testifies listen to whether & how they attempt to attack his conclusions. Will they ignore the evidence & just attack Page, Strzok, Comey, McCabe, the FBI & DOJ? Will they do more than just repeat the no collusion, no obstruction mantra that is patently false?

   Thread about solar panels.
   I have these questions:
   What happens when those of us who live in climates where it snows.
   1. How do you get snow off the solar panels
   2. What do you do in the winter when it is snowing? How do you get energy from the solar panels?

   Hey, I’ve now had my #solar panels for 2 years. So here’s a thread about why #solar panels are awesome. 1 pic.twitter.com/tvTLTcVwb6

   .@RepJerryNadler won’t do a thing about Hope Hicks. She will NEVER be held accountable because she’s a white woman. We’ve watched this play out for months. People openly defying subpoenas, Trump encouraging people to violate the law and they fell right in line. The rule of law is gone.

   I'll say it again: #HopeHicks committed perjury, obstruction of justice, and federal election law violations.

    #MuellerIsComing Mueller’s been a huge disappointment so far. Congress had to practically drag him in to testify. He could have spoken up long ago but didn’t. He let Bill Barr hide his report & control the narrative. He kept quiet while all hell broke loose. I won’t forget it.

        Right! He claims wind turbines kill birds and probably believes the RW talking point that they cause cancer, too. In my 40+ years of being involved in American politics, I’ve never seen an American president who is as stupid as Trump is. I thought ”W” was an embarrassment, but Trump took “W”’s award for stupidity and embarrassing behavior.
