??? Oh...James Comer thinks it's weird that Jamie Raskin would read Rolling Stone which is weird, bc it makes total sense to me.

Again: ???"When the White House called Twitter on September 9, 2019, officials had what they believed was a serious issue to report: @chrissyteigen had just called President Trump 'a pussy ass bitch' on Twitter — and the White House wanted the tweet to come down." https://t.co/C68u6TmwGJ https://t.co/GdeukUXEKE

So he's going to take Twitter’s lawyers to court to force them to testify? Won’t that mean relying on the DOJ to prosecute? The same DOJ Comer & Co. claim has been “weaponized”? Except not for these purposes?BREAKING: @JamesComer says that he's not going to recognize Twitter's attorney-client privilege, bc Congress does not recognize it.

Those statements are as devoid of content as if MTG had said them. Apparently the interference was not letting people tweet about Hunter Biden dick pics for…48 hours? Or to tweet about an article that was proven false, again for…48 hours? And this interfered with the 2020 election because…? With the result being:
A key point in the whole "Twitter files" thing & today's hearing. https://t.co/TJ0dIvUfye

Rep. Luna caught the bug, too. No Republican on this committee understands they aren’t a grand jury or prosecutors, or what the purpose of a Congressional investigation (or hearing) is."I can reach out to Elon and to his staff and I can see what's happened" -- Boebert pic.twitter.com/BZuGv1AMmI

Raskin's closing statement: "Twitter is a private 1st amendment protected media entity ... there's just a fundamental legal fallacy and logical fallacy that pervades most of the questioning today." pic.twitter.com/YwQrv3n3te
