@ThePlumLineGS Like McCarthy, Jordan will ignite controversy. He may unjustly devour careers that failed to comply precisely with some procedure. But as in 1953, the core message of the Jordan hearings - Trump was a victim - is simply false. No number of communist dentists can make it true. — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

@ThePlumLineGS MacArthur was fired because he wanted to start a nuclear war with communist China to retrieve his own mistakes in Korea. Trump was suspected because he lied about his business dealings in Russia and welcomed and used Russian hacks and leaks to help his presidential campaign. — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

@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

David Frum @davidfrum

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

David Frum @davidfrum

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

David Frum @davidfrum

The Peress case wreaked reckless and unjust havoc on many Army careers. But in the end, the hearings smashed to bits McCarthy's central claim of a communist conspiracy pervading the Army and national defense. https://t.co/lJHQsMPgHd https://t.co/zaT54ZGfJS — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

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
