    I didn’t realize she sent out a Tweet with it. The website is more complex. If it’s an official committee website she’s protected.

      “they must be an integral part of the deliberative and communicative processes by which Members participate in committee and House proceedings with respect to the consideration and passage or rejection of proposed legislation or with respect to other matters which the Constitution places within the jurisdiction of either House”

      I’m not sure about that. Are we really saying that Twitter is an official platform with which members of Congress conduct deliberation and meetings relating to legislation? That would be ridiculous.
