with that smarmy ass kissing twerp treating Ms Yates as a pinata. He continually "mansplains" what the answer to his questions should be before she can complete a sentence.
He quite obviously mugs for the camera as he smirks at her attempts to respond and talks over her.

(4,989 posts)Should not be happening. They just sink lower and lower every day. Im glad Yates is appearing remotely, and not in person before a committee chaired by a republican whos apparently not requiring mask-wearing.
cornyn is up there being an abject asshole. Ugh, hes a menace.

Dear
@LindseyGrahamSC
,
1. Were you ever blackmailed by
@realDonaldTrump
or anyone connected to Trump, his campaign or his administration?
2. Did they threaten to expose sordid details of your personal life, some dating back years, if you did not flip and support Trump publicly?

Statement of Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers on the Public Release of the Departments Findings with Respect to the 29 FISA Applications that Were the Subject of the March 2020 OIG Preliminary Report: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/statement-assistant-attorney-general-national-security-john-c-demers-public-release

They should have cancelled this hearing, but no, republicons went ahead with all the questions and hoop-jumping they concocted days or weeks ago. Thank goodness I read DU, as I know sen. graham and gang are wasting my time and putting on a ruse this morning, because I read about the FISA review conclusions here yesterday morning: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100213852632
