Ashley Feinberg is a senior writer at Slate. She recently uncovered Mitt Romney's secret Twitter account. “The whole thing about politics is that they are basically creating this character, this mask, and that is who they are supposed to be. That is who they try to project to the world. We know that it’s not really them but we have no access to what they actually are. This is the closest we get to seeing what they’re doing when they think no one is watching. … This is the most unfiltered access to what they’re actually thinking.” @ashleyfeinberg ashleyfeinberg.com Feinberg's archive at Slate [03:55] “This Sure Looks Like Mitt Romney’s Secret Twitter Account (Update: It Is)” (Slate • 2019) [04:50] “The Liberation of Mitt Romney” (The Atlantic • 2019) [10:03] “This Is Almost Certainly James Comey's Twitter Account” (Gizmodo • 2017) [10:19] “'Let Justice Roll Down Like Waters.'
