COP on the Hill: Stories from the week of January 8, 2021
Posted January 15th, 2021 by hiwayhowieCOP on the Hill: Stories from the week of January 8, 2021
We just do our jobs: this was a week like no other. On 1/6 I began watching the joint session begin to count the votes of the Electoral College. I made a phone presentation at 1:15 which lasted the usual 15 minutes and then returned to watch more…and you all know the rest of the events of that horrible day.
The next day was a maximum day: seven (7) presentations. Note: my brain cannot do more – my gray matter cannot remember if I had said something or not. – It is noteworthy that all 7 staffers and I said a word or two about the previous day and then moved forward. Time and tide wait for no person.
