MSNBC Brian Williams just said

GOP putting on a clinic for political cowardice.

How long before he installs a lie detector room in the WH?

I fully expect Trump to demand all his minions get hooked up to a lie detector

Grassley is disgraceful

This hearing epotomizes the corruption and stink of the Republican party. Those assholes care about nothing but money and staying in power. I'm feeling very pissed. I don't know how much of this I can continue to listen to. It's such a farce. Reminds me of the Nazi show trials of their enemies. Now he's defending Bork and Thomas hearings. I think I'll turn the sound off until Dem senators start questioning -- assuming they don't walk out in protest.

Completely disgraceful

Cornyn stinks

He just argued that the objecting Dems on the committee would be held in contempt of court.

"Is he sincere?"

I want to know:

Wilbur Ross - colossal crook

I knew when Wilbur Ross was announced for a cabinet post, and I read his resume, that he was a colossal crook. The tip-off was that he was vice-chairman of the board of the Bank of Cyprus. If that isn't a red flag, I don't know what is. Bank of Cyprus has been investigated by the FBI for money-laundering Russian money.

Katy Tur can take a hike

She has Scarramuchi on right now explaining Trump's POV about supporting Putin. Does she often give a platform to Repub talking heads? I changed the channel. I'm refuse to listen to that crap.

The cover-up is always worse than the original crime

As bad as Trump's Treason Summit was, his cover-up today did *NOT* make it any better. Made it worse, because it was such obvious *not* face-saving bullshit. There's supposed to a rule about when in a hole, stop digging. The only thing that Traitor Trump accomplished today is to open the door to having even more ridicule dumped on his head. Late night comedians will have a field day with this tonight.

I want to know specifically who in the WH had the brilliant idea to claim that Traitor Trump left out a "not" in his original treasonous statement. That stupidity deserves at least a footnote in the history of the Trump era.
