Why Luttig spoke so slowly - "chiseling words in stone."

Judge Luttig: Here's why I spoke so slowly at Jan. 6 hearing

Retired judge writes: "I had an obligation ... to formulate, to measure and to meter out every single word"

Ok, so he might have overdone it, but imagine the pressure he was under. At least he took it seriously. I'd rather strain my patience to listen to Luttig than listen to a nasty, sweaty, fevered fascist rant from Dump.

He's telling everyone now he frantically set up his twitter account on Jan 5 to get an emergency word out to "help Pence". He had that account set up since October 2020. His "Big Tweet" only had 4000 likes.

Okay, I agree Luttig preferred to the Cheeto in speak, but still annoyed at his delibrate performance. He's spoken, written and read words for a living, before and beyond. Shouldn't have been that difficult to portray testimony to the country and history books. Needing to adhere to a truth & reality factor was most difficult for him, it appears. Still glad for his inside the shitpile testimony, however.

Then he could spit it out briskly and efficiently and not make us all watch him jerk himself off for an ego trip.

Can't really argue with that. 😆

Then he's just an arrogant, time-wasting, grandstanding ass. Keep in mind his death penalty count is 29-0 and he helped Clarence Thomas with his Anita Hill defense. Fuck him.

Ohm there's no denying he supports scum, but - to me - there's this: if you want to know the inside story of a pile of dog shit, you have to hear from the flies and maggots that were crawling on it, not from the puppies and kittens and butterflies that were playing normally on the other side of the yard.

@SadButTrue Well stated and food for thought, as ick as it is. Thanks.

Also, I find a huge ickiness his declaring his speech patterns during testimony were purposeful. Wow. And then there's the in the sun tidbit regarding his bloated redness in appearance, wtf, ok. Looking at the big picture, all the cues present, liars being liars, one can't rule out that in retirement he's developed a propensity to partake in Rudy's brand of scotch to a higher level than years prior.
