Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

        Well and plus he was reading from his own prewritten statement. Those anti-Dem threats weren’t spontaneous, but carefully considered opinion. Yale-educated he may be, but that doesn’t lift him out of the sinkhole of sloppy partisanship he gladly dived into Thursday afternoon.

        "you can count on me" is certainly a poor choice of words. I remember it as one of the pivotal lines in Clockwork Orange, at a point in the story that is ... pertinent.
