Why don't people immediately believe the official theory of Epstein's death? It's a mystery! We need to consult a University of Chicago professor. Maybe he can explain this bizarre skepticism. … https://t.co/hXwo0NlRQ0

I'm not anti-Kavanaugh, but @Facebook's sponsorship of a big Federalist society dinner — when they're likely to a major litigant before the courts in the coming decade — seems an embarrassingly obvious influence play. https://t.co/FuL1q8fQm3

Look at the secret vault! Maybe they should have called Giulini, Bolton, Mulvaney! https://t.co/lgbiZbtAjA This isn't how you react when you think the hearings that just ended have done the job. https://t.co/L5CYwkZ9oD

What are chances there won't be an impeachment vote at all? They have to be small, but you'd think they are growing. https://t.co/Xu17GXoaqD

DRUMBEAT OF PESSIMISM underlying Impeach Team twitter now. Do they sense, as I do, that trajectory is now downward? They took their best shot at hearings and failed to rally voters (and representatives) to their cause. [Of course Trump can still change trajectory with a tweet] https://t.co/vcHaXOTV8S

On the other hand, someone in authority mobilized a lot of resources to (mostly) enable citizens to exercise their right of speech and assembly, so overall a good day. Don't quite know how Coulter pulled it off (given the difficulties 2 years ago, when YAF chickened out on her). https://t.co/os4Itawime

Alternative view: Let everybody dig! In foreign countries! On U.S. citizens! Let Hillary dig. Let Trump dig. If there's dirt, there's dirt. (All depends if it is credible dirt.) Why the horror at trying to find dirt? It's what reporters do. https://t.co/GtQXXANt9x

And of course Ukraine was just as desperate for aid in 2016, so the 'encouragement' carries at least *some* of the same implicit threat as Trump's requests. https://t.co/wLT9LLEj3R

Purpose of hearing was to change public opinion with riveting TV. Cutting away suggests a certain amount of failure to rivet, no? Did they cut away from the Watergate hearings?

Jeffrey Epstein had some thoughtful ideas about this. [Cheap shot. But I wonder how effective these self-serving promotions are when they basically provide an easy platform for trolling] https://t.co/SoKiszjEzM
