The General Flynn clip on taking the Fifth on whether he believes in the peaceful transfer of power is devastating in its brevity. — PolitiTweet.org

Four of the nine members of the committee will not be in the next Congress. Two lost (Cheney and Luria) and two were pushed out by redistricting (Murphy and Kinzinger). — PolitiTweet.org

Four minutes before the final January 6 hearing, I know I should be banned from social media because my only hot take is a sincere “Thank you” to the entire committee and its staff. — PolitiTweet.org

When the new House comes in on January 3, maybe everyone should do a Spartacus imitation and declare, "I am George Santos." "No, I am George Santos." "No, it's me who is George Santos." — PolitiTweet.org

@phylliswjordan I don’t have a candidate. I just have a sense that this won’t end well. No one is indispensable in a democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

@Obornee I don't think we have any way of knowing who is an electable candidate nearly two years in advance, especially since we are about to deal with, in all likelihood, our first 80-year-old presidential candidate. It's too unprecedented for predictions. — PolitiTweet.org

@Obornee I think we have come to an impasse. But, even you will admit that Reagan had a tad more stage presence than Joe Biden, whatever you think of their respective policies. — PolitiTweet.org

@Obornee Reagan when he ran for reelection in 1984 was 73 years old -- nearly nine years younger than Biden will be on Election Day 2024. — PolitiTweet.org

@Obornee Biden wasn't on the ballot in the midterms. And we have not yet seen anything like the full force of the venom that will be directed at Biden over his age if he runs for another term. — PolitiTweet.org

@Obornee No way of knowing anything with certainty nearly two years in advance. What I do know is that no matter how unjustified, the Republicans would spend 18 months claiming Biden was "senile." How that would play with the voters is another unknown, since it has no prior precedent. — PolitiTweet.org

As Joe Biden mulls running for a second term in his ‘80s, I wish Grandfather Finnegan had told him growing up, “Joey, always quit when you’re ahead. Leave the stage with the audience wanting more.” — PolitiTweet.org

@FrancisPMurphy I believe the line is from Wallace’s inaugural address as governor. He was a bit more muted in 1968. But not much. — PolitiTweet.org

@butlerm23 @rollcall I know. Here I was forced to give up any hint of subtlety by the 280-character limit. In the article, I try to remind readers that John Eastman in 2020 tried to turn the VP into the most powerful figure in American political history. — PolitiTweet.org
