Caroline O. @RVAwonk
Scott Dworkin @funder

The last 3 are lawyers who tweet a lot about the law pertaining to Russia scandal.

Scott Dworkin is doing work the GOP should be doing.

Kurt Eichenwald did some of the best news writings prior to the election.

I also follow a few NeverTrumper-Repubs to see what's going on in their minds. Rick Wilson is a good one if you have the mind.
