@ThePlumLineGS Weeks and months of McCarthy dramatics ensued. And when it came time to deliver, what McCarthy was able to produce was: that an Army dentist at Camp Kilmer, New Jersey, had been promoted from captain to major despite (probably) lying when he signed a form disavowing communism. — PolitiTweet.org

@ThePlumLineGS The McCarthy parallel is very apt. Joe McCarthy alleged a vast communist conspiracy pervaded the "deep state" of his day. He focused especially on the US Army. He convened hearings very like those planned by Jim Jordan. https://t.co/mAm5NVPZdl — PolitiTweet.org

A special counsel can exonerate a president more credibly than his own attorney general can. Biden surely made an innocent, harmless mistake. But mistake it was, and if Trump is to face consequences for a much graver offense, Biden can’t shrug off a superficially similar one. — PolitiTweet.org

I sometimes imagine the excitement of President Madison when he received the long box from France among his reinaugural gifts. “Hurry and open it! What’s inside?”And then the crushing denouement. “A glass flute, Mr President.” “Oh. I was so hoping it was a brass telescope.” — PolitiTweet.org
