@MonomoyFlats @marcylaigne1 @NDTwinsfan I did no such thing. Readers can see what I said and what you claimed and judge for themselves. — PolitiTweet.org

@MonomoyFlats @marcylaigne1 @NDTwinsfan You don't dispute anything I said. You are factually wrong about how Congressional investigative hearings have always been conducted. I never said Kinzinger and Cheney are Democrats. I said they were chosen by the Democrats. They were. — PolitiTweet.org

@MonomoyFlats @marcylaigne1 @NDTwinsfan This is nonsense. Congressional hearings, like Congress itself, are adversarial. Cross examination of witnesses has long been, customary. So is the opportunity for a defense of those being investigated. A committee with all members chosen by one party is virtually unheard of. — PolitiTweet.org

Exactly right:"The way to persuade GOP voters to move beyond Trump is not to attack him but to convince them that he is the candidate most likely to lose in 2024. Republican voters’ top priority is to defeat Joe Biden. That’s not Liz Cheney’s top priority" https://t.co/qJyYEpVcgN — PolitiTweet.org

Quote: "Cheney lost because her constituents saw that she cared more about fighting Trump than fighting Biden...more concerned with waging a civil war within the [GOP]than the inflation that is forcing her voters to choose between...gas and food." https://t.co/qJyYEpVK6l — PolitiTweet.org

He's been running the old-fashioned way, meeting voters and listening to them. If he's connecting, it's not showing up in the polls but Salena Zito thinks that may be coming. Interesting take. https://t.co/Vyd3bO0YaP — PolitiTweet.org

@tammylively @KBrownPatt Ma'am the custom in Congressional hearings has always been to let both sides have their opportunity to cross examine witnesses, even to call their own and to present their side. — PolitiTweet.org

How does she get to keep her job in light of this? I guess it started under her predecessor in which case it was her job to fix it. https://t.co/IOX15IzznM — PolitiTweet.org

@johnferrugia If the Trump side got a hearing, it might well have failed to convince the public that he was not guilty of a "sophisticated 7-point plan" to reverse the election (Liz Cheney claim) or that we came "critically close to losing our democracy." (Benny Thompson). We'll never know. — PolitiTweet.org

Brit Hume @brithume

@jasonhillner @johnferrugia Nonsense. In both Congressional hearings and trials it has long been the practice to allow both sides of an issue to make their case. — PolitiTweet.org

Brit Hume @brithume

@kathyinbluebell Actually he presented a slate of Republicans, including Trump defenders. Pelosi took the nearly unprecedented step of vetoing two them. That's when McCarthy withdrew the rest. — PolitiTweet.org

Brit Hume @brithume

@johnferrugia You cite the accusations being investigated as if their truth were established and the only job of the hearings is to present conclusions reached in advance. In America, both in trials and Congressional hearings, both accusers and defenders get to present their case. Not here. — PolitiTweet.org

Brit Hume @brithume

I wonder if things might have turned out differently for Liz Cheney if she'd used her seat on the 1/6 committee to insist on cross-examination of witnesses and a chance for the defense to present its side. Instead she led the charge for an utterly one-sided presentation. — PolitiTweet.org

.⁦@ByronYork⁩ notes the similarity to the Trump-Russia collusion sensation, which went on for two years and turned out to be dead end from which most of our media seem to have learned nothing. https://t.co/BIbg6CV3qN — PolitiTweet.org

Brit Hume @brithume

I heard that sort of stuff a lot when I was skeptical of the Trump-Russia collusion claims. I make no apologies for that, or for my skepticism of the more extravagant claims of the 1/6 committee leaders. — PolitiTweet.org
