This post about Meghan McCain might not provide much insight into the findings at Wednesday’s Senate Intelligence Committee hearing. However, we’re relieved that the exchange took place on Twitter and not as part of a live CNN panel … yet.
It’s no super-slow-motion analysis of the first lady “slapping away” the president’s attempt to take her hand, but NBC News’ Bradd Jaffey was intrigued nonetheless by Sen. John McCain’s tell-all eyebrows during this exchange with Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats.
This McCain exchange with DNI Coats is amazing; says it’s “Orwellian” Coats won’t discuss what’s already in WashPost https://t.co/kBsehk8CDw

McCain: So in a *closed* session you’ll discuss what’s already published in the Washington Post?
DNI Coats: I hope so.

Meghan McCain added some expert analysis of the eyebrow raise.
Oh man, I know the eye brows well – same thing he used to do to me as an adolescent when I missed curfew and had a dumb reason as to why… https://t.co/4GfQKvsvjQ

The brows were good, but this facial expression from March was perfection. https://t.co/IBAz7GosvH

ahahahhahahahahahahaha – this is everything! I can't hide anything from my face what I'm thinking either. Runs in the family.

So President Trump speaks “normal New York City conversation,” Sen. John McCain says everything he needs to say with his eyebrows, and James Comey did what he could to track all of this in contemporaneous memos.

I assume that, as with this administration, your father made some gruff comments and then did nothing to punish you… @MeghanMcCain

Leave it to McCain. Leading us with statements of concern and furrowed brows. I expect more from him.

I think we're past the time where a mere eyebrow furrowing will suffice.

Thursday’s the main event — maybe McCain was just limbering up his brow.
