Katie Porter: Mnuchin questioned whether she's a lawyer...

I certainly hope so!

We certainly agree she needs to stay in government in positions of as much power as possible.

Perfect, niyad!

Why dont they chew him up and find him in contempt of congress ?

jerk. Nauseating.

he refused to give the House trump's tax returns? Can we PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE throw this man in jail for the rest of his natural life?

Comjgress capable of slashing & burning her opponents!

have done very good jobs of grilling Republicans. Remember when Rep. Omar made mincemeat out of that war criminal Elliot Abram? Rep. Ocasio Cortez's grilling of Michael Cohen led to the NY AG's fraud case against the Trump Organization.
We've have some fantastic "grillers" on our side.

Notice how the Squad is told 'be quiet, focus on your district, stop making yourself a national figure' while Katie Porter (also a relatively new Congresswoman) is cheered on and encouraged to have a national profile.

I love both of them

Katie Porter knows who the enemy is. Republicans. That is why she is cheered on.

These women simply expect our country to live up to all of the hype.

But, his services to our country are no longer required because there's a picture of him grabbing a womans boob on an airplane from a USO trip he was on to entertain troops ten or 15 years ago..

The purity of the remaining Dem senators is impeccable, but Al was an order of magnitude better than them at holding republic creeps accountable.

America lost a damn good rep in the 98th percentile of what a good elected rep should be,

-90% Jimmy

Katie had no part in Al leaving. She can still be the best.

I think I was responding to the nice things posted about Elizabeth and Katie and AOC and the rest of the squad.

Not a grudge, just a sadness such a brilliant for the people intellligent guy like Al gets "lynched" for something most would consider no big deal. i dont think its within Al's character to do something hurtful to a show biz colleauge. somebody he's on a uso middle east tour with. what good came of it? everybody lost except republics.

plus her connection with roger stone types. (he may have been the guy that made this public to begin with?)

we should not allow such manufactured half truths and corrupted testimony to make us sacrifice our best.

I'm also peeved about the guilty until proven innocent vibe and the collective rush to judgement.

Can't change the past, but I hope we learn from it.

-90% Jimmy

PS - saw Al in New Haven early March, about two weeks before covid hit

That whole episode was a right wing hit job. I’m still angry about how that entire episode played out.

Al had the brains and the finesse to get to the innermost truths during his questioning of witnesses. He would have marinated and then grilled that obnoxious Mnuchin.

Katie Porter did a great job herself. Hadn’t realized before how much of a prick Mnuchin is.

You know quite well that was part of a skit they worked out. It was not spontaneous, it was scripted with her approval and forewarning. Even she said so but no, she was ignored in favor or the tar and feathers gang.

Love her!

I want to savor this ass-kickin’, and I don’t have time right now.

but is he human?

Apparently he has issues with wimmen attorneys?

Early life and education

Porter was born on January 3, 1974, and grew up in the small farming community of Fort Dodge, Iowa.[4][5] Her father was a farmer-turned-banker.[6] Her mother Liz was a founder of Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting.

After graduating from Phillips Academy,[3][7] Porter attended Yale University, where she majored in American studies, graduating in 1996.[8] Her undergraduate thesis was titled The Effects of Corporate Farming on Rural Community.[9] She was a member of Grace Hopper College (formerly Calhoun College) at Yale.[citation needed] Porter also interned for Chuck Grassley during this time.[10]

Porter later attended Harvard Law School, where she was the Notes editor for the Harvard Women’s Law Journal.[11] She studied under current U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, and graduated magna cum laude with her Juris Doctor in 2001.[6]
Career

Porter clerked for Judge Richard S. Arnold of the United States Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit in Little Rock, Arkansas.[11] She practiced with the law firm of Stoel Rives LLP in Portland, Oregon,[11] and was the Project Director for the National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges' Business Bankruptcy Project.[12][13][14][11][15][16] Porter was Associate Professor of Law at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas School of Law.[11] In 2005, she joined the faculty of the University of Iowa College of Law as an associate law professor,[11] becoming a full professor there in 2011[17] before joining the faculty as a tenured professor at the University of California, Irvine School of Law, in 2011.[8][18]

Porter's textbook Modern Consumer Law addresses consumer laws in light of Dodd–Frank and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.[19]

In March 2012, California Attorney General Kamala Harris appointed Porter to be the state's independent monitor of banks in a nationwide $25 billion mortgage settlement.[20] As monitor, she oversaw the banks' implementation of $9.5 billion in settlement reforms for Californians.[21]

Go, Katie Porter........we count on you. I know you are working for all of us...........thanks, be safe and watch out for those stupid dogs and I don't mean 4 legged ones!!

I love the "I'm going to get my white board!"

Him, DeVos, Barr, or Miller

and gassing. They would be the first guinea pigs for that.

And obviously NOT an attorney otherwise he would know never to ask a question in such a hearing the answer for which he doesn’t know

And when she nails Moochie or any of the banker boys it's just delicious to watch. She's an expert.

Fuck him!

does he treat male democrats that badly when he's in a hearing reporting to Congress?

and he's fucking corrupt. gawd i can't wait til these people are out of my government.

I would want her as AG.

Probably compensating for being punched in the faced a lot as a kid.

How f**king dare he.

... along with all the other Repuke weasels.

California District. MSM has ignored Rep. Porter's significant gains, and yet keeps hyping the Republicans' netting about a dozen seats out of 435 while pretending that a Mid-term election has same dynamics that a Presidential year has. Thank you to all the Chuck Todds for your incessant enabling of Trump and his Republican mob in order to increase profits at the tragic expense of degredating basic pillars of our democracy.

Arrogant POS, you will be gone too. Take your Barbie Doll wife and just go away. Katie Porter love her.

with the energy of a brigade.

has made these people delusional. I wonder if we're seeing a new phenomenon: Tell a big lie often enough and the people telling it believe it. Most of the rest of us live in a pursuit of truth, including Rep. Porter. Two universes.

Right up there with Kushner, Miller, Jr., McConnell, and Flynn.

She is one brilliant lady/attorney!!! I love to listen to her, she makes me proud to be a female!!! Go Katie Porter!! I just watched her on Lawrence and she was brilliant.

He is so arrogant that he didn't see a need to prepare for this meeting.

These smug, self-flattering “hotshot” men probably see some “mousy little nobody” ready to question them, not realize that they’re actually about to face Wonder Woman in a Godzilla suit.

she ripped them a new one. Made my day. Stay well all.

MNuchin is top of the line smarmy.

reminds me SO much of a conversation I was having with the ICU diagnostician when I was deathly ill in 2010. He described what he thought was going on (turned out to be Staph A in my heart and while he had nailed the general diagnosis, he couldn't possibly know the agent, at that point), then asked me what I thought. I said:

"I think that, in this conversation, only one of us went to med school, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't me. Let's go with your opinion."

He did a remarkable job of keeping a straight face, but later told he it was hilarious.

You geaux, Ms Porter! A rising star in national politics.
