The McCarthy attack on the army originated in partisan payback: vengeance for the firing of the GOP military hero, Douglas MacArthur. But by 1953, there was a Republican president who agreed that MacArthur had to go. Peress was a consolation prize for the radical right of the day — 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

@ThePlumLineGS Jordan's hearings are going to run into a similar problem. The point of the hearings is to demand, "Why oh why would anyone regard Donald Trump and his 2016 campaign as potentially compromised by Russia?" As the hearings remind people of the answer, they'll need a Peress. — PolitiTweet.org
