Not helping. Really.
IRS had one mission to execute: Enforce the tax code in a non-partisan way. Sorry, but this can't just be wrapped up in less than a week.
The Train Wreck Club, (@

Obama says members of Congress "concluded nothing was afoul" w/ talking points months ago. Really, they said that?
"The whole issue of talking points, throughout this process, frankly has been a sideshow." So what's the main event, Mr. President?

Did the President just say that companies won't be allowed to spend money on profits? What does that even mean?
#Trainwreck
President says that Obamacare prevents insurers from taking advantage of people. Which is why he forces us to buy insurance.
#Trainwreck
Dems wanted Obamacare. They got it. Now they're calling it a "train wreck." We should call them the Train Wreck Club

Someone should make it clear that Snapchat is not an appropriate medium for the White House to make Benghazi documents public.

Old things become new again all the time. But not worth our arguing about. Looking forward to more of your coverage though.
@
joshtpm
That's it?
@
joshtpm
Haven't looked but would love to see your past criticism of D oversight hearings as not credible.
@
joshtpm
Can't help but feel like the reason you think this oversight is not credible is because it's Rs running it and not Ds.
@
joshtpm
Not intending to. You are just saying we're not meeting a standard you've arrived at arbitrarily. I'm saying others disagree.
@
joshtpm
(2/2) why bother do public hearings? Why bother get testimony? Because live testimony is more powerful. You can't deny that.
@
joshtpm
Now it sounds more like you're splitting hairs. Attracting attn to this disaster is a necessary part of oversight. Otherwise (1/2)
@
joshtpm
Don't people question your motives all the time when you search for truth? You do your best to provide the facts. We are doing same
@
joshtpm
Cover-ups and betrayal are the thematic issues at the heart of this! U r left-leaning, and you deal with that balance all the time!
@
joshtpm
I'm not sure you mean to blanket condemn everyone who speaks on Benghazi. You get a range of voices. That's America. (1/2)
@
joshtpm
You can't seriously be suggesting that these hearings aren't a necessary part of the process, can you?
@
joshtpm
You don't know what you can get from a hearing until you hold one. But at the very least, increasing public scrutiny is good.
@
joshtpm
Then why make a '95 parallel?
RT @
tobyharnden
: Dem members repeatedly quoting media fact check whoppers & Pinocchios at these witnesses about things they had nothing…

When arguing for abolition Lincoln rightly noted that Declaration of Independence wasn't simply a prefatory doc. It was a mission statement.
Many of the Founders had flaws that may have undermined their stance on tyranny. But does that mean tyranny is less bad bc of their actions?
Repeated a number in my countdown. You get the picture.
1. James Madison: Most significant contributor to our Constitution, the actual hand that guided our nation's birth.
#FoundersAgainstTyranny
2. George Washington: Guided the Constitutional Convention. Led our armies against actual tyranny. No third term.
#FoundersAgainstTyranny
4. Hamilton: His understanding of trade led America to be the global dynamo it is today. Federalist co-author.
#FoundersAgainstTyranny
5. Thomas Jefferson: The Declaration of Independence. Period.

John, not Sam, Adams generally credited for Mass. Constitution, though Sam made impt. contributions. See 208-2…
5. James Monroe: Established the Monroe Doctrine, helping to guide American foreign policy for years to come.

6. Ben Franklin: Proved that innovation is a handmaiden to freedom and warned Britain against greater regulations
#FoundersAgainstTyranny
7. Patrick Henry: Fought for the adoption of the Bill of Rights. "Give me liberty or give me death."
#FoundersAgainstTyranny
8. Sam Adams: Not only threw tea overboard and made good beer. Wrote the Mass. constitution and became governor.

9. Gouverneur Morris: Work in the 2nd Continental Congress was invaluable. Credited with writing the Preamble
