@sponson The statute of limitations is past for the rape. The question is whether answering a press question as president about her defamation case was within the scope of his job as president vs whether Brooks speech was a campaign activity or part of his job as a MOC. — PolitiTweet.org

@SBuller8 I did notice that and thought it was proof he wasn't doing the job of a Congressman!! — PolitiTweet.org

@DemocratJoan I'm not saying I agree that he is immune, just explaining the possible logic of the different results. The good news is that the reason DOJ will now defend Brooks applies equally to Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

@gh_visions They do have the power and I hope they will use it without delay. — PolitiTweet.org

Witnesses should include Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan, Kevin McCarthy, Christopher Miller (Acting SecDef), and tfg, but also White House staff who are civil servants who watched what tfg did and have no political motives to color their testimony. — PolitiTweet.org

The officers who testified at Jan 6 hearing set a dramatic emotional stage for the important next steps -- investigating who planned, organized, funded event and who prevented defensive measures to protect Capital. — PolitiTweet.org

Many of you asked why DOJ won't represent Mo Brooks in Swalwell suit for inciting insurrection but will represent tfg in E Jean Carroll case. Answer Brooks speech at rally was a campaign event not part of his job as a MOC, but answering press qs is part of tfg job as president. — PolitiTweet.org

Being a witness is just one more reason Rep Jordan should not have been nominated for the Jan 6 bipartisan commission. — PolitiTweet.org

@kylegriffin1 Amazing and hopeful news. — PolitiTweet.org

The Fox coverage of the emotional and accurate testimony of officers attacked on Jan 6 was beyond appalling. It was as upsetting as any lies they have previously propagated. — PolitiTweet.org

Not only is @PhilipRucker and @CarolLeonnig book is #1, it is essential reading so no one who voted for Trump makes the same mistake again. If only they would read it. Facts matter! — PolitiTweet.org

2nd loss for tfg today. DOJ says Mo Brooks (and, by extension, tfg) was not acting within scope of his job in inciting the Jan 6 insurrection and they will not represent him plus Jake Ellzey defeated Trump-backed candidate in Texas House runoff! https://t.co/zoYjGwyMi5 — PolitiTweet.org

Jill Wine-Banks @JillWineBanks

DOJ & AG Garland did the right thing. They will not represent @RepMoBrooks in @RepSwalwell 's suit agst him for fomenting the Jan 6 insurrection bec they correctly see his speech encouraging the crowd as a campaign event, not part of his job as a MOC! Same is true for tfg. https://t.co/Tp7oLCCJLP — PolitiTweet.org

Jill Wine-Banks @JillWineBanks

Waiting anxiously for DOJ decision on representing @RepMoBrooks and hoping they do not. What he did is incite insurrection and that is not in scope of his job! — PolitiTweet.org

Jill Wine-Banks @JillWineBanks

Hearing about the hand-to-hand combat and war on our police and members of Congress made the threat even more real to everyone of us and our democracy and liberties. Accountability is essential. Republicans cannot continue ignoring the reality of the threat. Stop supporting Trump — PolitiTweet.org

Jill Wine-Banks @JillWineBanks

Watching the 1/6 hearing was dramatic TV. Very moving. If these officers had testified at the 2nd Trump impeachment, would it have changed Republicans vote then or on having a bipartisan commission to investigate the causes and cures for the insurrection. I fear not. You? — PolitiTweet.org

Many, including me, have excused or explained past #Garland decisions, but if he decides insurrection is part of @RepMoBrooks job, I will want him to resign. Otherwise democracy is in jeopardy. https://t.co/6qkBkctQAJ — PolitiTweet.org
