1. Very good. Nice start for him.

2. Thank you, Georgia!

3. Ha-ha!!!!!!

Do you think he might want to investigate things like, oh, maybe corrupt efforts in voting fraud.....

4. Not a bad job for someone who was an investigative reporter

Get in there and start digging.

5. Yes, that is reassuring.

7. Did not know that about him, thanks.

I was starting to wonder if he had an appropriate background. Good to see that he does. And holy cow, does he have his work cut out for him!

6. Sen Ossoff actually comes with the perfect bio for this position

8. Wow! I had no earthly idea.. This is FABULOUS!

BRAVO!!!

9. I had no idea either! I just googled his bio to find out more about him

To my surprise, Ossoff is really perfect for this position.

He's got built in creds & an extended "family" of investigators around the world just like himself!!

Dang!
🙂👍💙🥂

12. Ah, you beat me to it!

I knew his resumè and that he would be perfect for this. So glad he got this job.

We have MTG in the House, but we have two great Democrats in the Senate and other fantastic Ds in the House.

16. THanks; i was wondering the same - is he uinquely qualified and the answer is OH yes!

[RDANGELO]

10. They are grooming him for big things in the future.

11. Also perhaps to begin building a record toward what will eventually be a challenging

reelection. The AJC pointed out that Sam Nunn once chaired this high-profile committee and its first chair was Harry Truman, whose integrity set a very high standard.

There's always more going on than we can know. I read that some GA Republicans think Ossoff could serve as the middleman they need between them and the Biden WH. Ossoff is also now on Judiciary, and he and Warnock are both on Banking.

13. I hope Warnock can get enough done this year. He may face

Perdue for his seat next year. Ossoff can advise his team on running against Perdue.

[Hortensis]

14. For sure. I'm sure the party will be doing everything we can to help

Rev. Warnock keep his seat. Of course, in what is actually still a very conservative state, including large conservative AA demos, that might turn out to look a lot like staying out of it.

[Heartstrings]

15. I approve of this message.....nt
