We/us (more than one person writes this account.) Tweets about TN politics but also national events, especially during Fed elections. #BidenHarris supporters.
As we've said all along: @TNGOP, Koch Brothers @AFPhq and @VoteMarsha have nothing that even remotely compares to their own scandals to hang on @PhilBredesen.

UNlike @VoteMarsha, Phil has never been investigated by the FEC, his close associates aren't tied to Putin/Russia and aren't being disbarred for fraud.
He's never directed money to his family (he never lived in the Governors Mansion his supporters paid half the tab to rehab.)

We were just talking about @VoteMarsha personal and political scandals. It's not like this is the first time she's failed to report salient information. #TNSen

We know we've already talked about this a lot but it bears repeating. @VoteMarsha's campaign finance chair in '02 and '04 was Kline Preston.
Keene and his wife were, of course, introduced to Butina's handler Alex Torshin- and likely Butina- by longtime @VoteMarsha associate (frmr campaign finance chair & re-elect head) Kline Preston.
#ThrowbackThursday: @VoteMarsha received 33 (!) letters from @FEC re: over $100K in unreported donations - while her campaign finance chair was Kline Preston, 1 degree of separation from Vladimir #Putin thru Preston's pal Torshin (see pinned thread). #RussianConspiracy#TNSen
From the @JSunNews article "Group files complaint against Blackburn's campaign committee" 12 June '08 by Bill Theobald:

Alexander Torshin is, of course, the mob-connected Russian Senator who was invited by @VoteMarsha re-elect org chair Kline Preston to observe TN elections in Nashville in 2012. #TNSen
Here's Torshin with Preston and @BillHaslam - at the @TNGOP victory party here in Nashville on Nov 6, 2012, same event where @VoteMarsha spoke. Yet we're to believe she didn't meet with Torshin.

We're beginning to form the opinion that it's unacceptable that electeds and pro transit advocates are disavowing the PR campaign behind @TransitforNash and its myriad conflicts of interest - in so doing painting folks like us as crackpots for asking questions about it.
It also makes us really angry that we're being told everyone with objections to this plan are doing so in bad faith and - these are fighting words to us - apologists for Donald freaking Trump.

We agree 100%. “Citizens for Greater Mobility,” the political action committee behind the campaign to promote @TransitForNash, has received the vast majority of its contributions from the very wealthiest Nashvillians. tntribune.com/community/loca…
The leadership of this PAC, which was founded and is primarily run by the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, is operated by people who make huge financial donations tennessean.com/story/news/201…
