Matt Gaetz storming a SCIF to shut down an investigation, Matt Whitaker stating abuse of power is not a crime, and Trump’s lawyer arguing he can’t even be investigated for shooting someone really is the perfect encapsulation of the GOP’s current attitude towards the rule of law.— Matthew Miller (@matthewamiller) October 23, 2019
The past three years have taught us that there are people whose love of getting their way outweighs their interest in the republic, democracy, anti-corruption, human rights, and national security.

Today’s storming of the House Intel Committee must not be trivialized as a stunt. Nor is the biggest problem with it the flouting of national security safeguards. It is an indication of how GOP electeds are willing to use force to insulate Trump from rule of law. 4/4— Heidi Li Feldman (@HeidiLiFeldman) October 23, 2019
