Aaron Rupar @atruparTrump on Corey Lewandowski possibly being under investigation: "I view it as if people aren't honest, they're stealing from me ... I guess I could stop anything. I have no idea what he did."
Kate Santaliz @kate_santalizNEW: Tom Emmer is taking House Republicans’ long-running frustration with the Senate further than any other GOP leader has publicly "There are no Democrats. There are no Republicans. They are just senators," Emmer told donors last week at a closed-door fundraiser Axios attended for Rep. Mark Harris His message to senators who keep saying they don’t have the votes for GOP priorities: “You suck”
Matthew Miller @matthewamillerHank Johnson is still the GOAT, but this easily makes the top 4 hearing gaffes of all time. 4. Ted Stevens - "a series of tubes." 3. Louie Gohmert - "the AG will not cast aspersions on my asparagus." 2. Eric Schmitt today 1. Hank Johnson - concerned Guam will "tip over"
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapurA phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. Watch the whole thing:
NBC4 Washington @nbcwashingtonBREAKING: A mistrial is declared in the federal bribery trial of D.C. Councilmember Trayon White.
Overton @overton_newsNew York Times reporter Jonathan Swan just got a stunning reality check from both Bill Maher and author James Kirchick. Swan was spiraling over President Trump barring CNN and MS NOW from the White House, until Kirchick reminded him of some of the Obama-era media scandals. KIRCHICK: “During the Obama administration they tapped the AP bureau’s phones and the phones of AP bureau reporters. They tapped their phones!” Maher backed up some of the claims and seconded Kirchick’s point about the Obama administration. MAHER: “I looked this up about freezing out one…they did it with Fox News. Josh Earnest, he was in the Obama administration. He admitted it.” “The White House has demonstrated our willingness to exclude Fox News from news making interviews…” “This is exactly what…you know, this is what I say about this country. Everybody’s like this is the worst thing in the world except when we do it.” “And then it’s always perfectly okay.” Maher nailed the hypocrisy in one sentence. Well done.
CSPAN @cspanAUDIO -- Court Hearing on Trump's Media Ban – LIVE on C-SPAN
Scott MacFarlane @MacFarlaneNewsThe Trump attorney is pivoting to a claim that CNN/MSNOW/Politico are banned for “national security” reasons. Here’s the problem. The White House issued this official statement about the ban. It doesn’t argue “national security”… it argues something about the “Radical Left”
Chris Vannini @ChrisVanniniNew: FBS oversight committee says it cannot overturn the Michigan-WMU ending. "The committee agreed that the instant replay protocols were not followed in the contest’s second-to-last play. Had the protocols been followed, the outcome of the game would have been different."
