Watching Eithan’s takedown of these sniveling losers was one of my proudest moments as a wife. If I looked intense, it’s because I was white-knuckling the chair so I didn’t jump up and join in. Not that he needed help, obviously!
A few more thoughts from the hearing room 🧵
I don’t think it’s in the recording, but I witnessed a very real smile across Jamie Raskin’s smarmy face after Eithan fired back.
I’m not saying they’d have a beer together, but he was clearly amused by Eithan.
The faux indignation at this hearing was nauseating.
Just looking at the staffers was a hilarious microcosm of current political culture.
The dems’ side did not disappoint - masks, unnaturally colored hair, frumpy suits, crazy eyes. You could pick them out of a line up.
The republicans looked polished, professional, confident.
I’ve spent a lot of time in DC and the vibe shift is remarkable. Last year, Eithan called me from DC saying he had an eerie feeling and needed to move up his flight.
Today, I genuinely enjoy being on the Hill. There’s change in the air and it’s almost…fun?
The GOP has a deep and amazing bench.
After everything we went through, hearing their questions and comments on Eithan’s case and the heinous conduct he exposed was a step towards healing.
Thank you to Chairmen Jim Jordan and Chip Roy for this hearing. It was a true honor.
