I couldn't quite bring myself to tweet out during the Garland hearing, which I thought represented a new low for the House Judiciary Committee. It wasn't simply that every Q from R's was based on a knowing lie; it was the remarkable nastiness & impoliteness. They're total punks.

Nice move by Fulton County DA. They note that the Hatch Act forbids federal ploys from working on elections, and thus all of meadow’s allegedly criminal actions can’t give rise to immunity or be the basis for removal. What’s meadows going to say to that??
