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

    FTR, I beat @PreetBharara to a comparison between Comey's 2007 testimony & presumed 2017 testimony by >48 hours.https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/863134803939528710 …

    Folks who're worried abt Comey "refusing" to testify? He did same thing in 2007. It remains most memorable testimony of last decade.

        But Preet's is better than mine (even if he didn't prosecute the banksters), so definitely read it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/preet-bharara-are-there-still-public-servants-who-will-say-no-to-the-president/2017/05/14/8df915de-38d6-11e7-9e48-c4f199710b69_story.html?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.c222d8f7c3da …

        Mind you, one reason I beat Preet bc I posted when people were scrambling to understand, not to capitalize on Sunday pre-10 yr anniversary

        Dunno. But I bet we've shared one or more media trainer and my media trainers loved it so he should try it.

        Your thread inspired me to listen to @60Minutes segment on Comey tonight and helped me remember details I'd forgotten. Thanks so much.

        Yeah. I'm the only one who ever tells that part of the story. Makes me a jerk, I'm sure. But important perspective.

        I'd just live for one day assured that someone in power in has our back where it counts. I'm 50...Comey had me for a few hrs. ;-) ;-(

        You could do far worse than Comey. But never forget he's a very conservative guy who needs to get out more.
