The major's name was Irving Peress, and "Who promoted Peress?" became the great proof point of McCarthy's otherwise unfounded accusations against the security agencies of his day. The Jordan hearings will likely go in the same direction, likely minus the antisemitic undertone. — PolitiTweet.org

The Jim Jordan hearings will likely go the same way. They'll huff and puff and gesticulate - they'll allege a "conspiracy so immense" (as McCarthy himself used to say) - and in the end they'll deliver a communist-sympathizing Army reservist dentist at a training camp. — PolitiTweet.org
