Let's take a few moments to watch a maestro at the top of her game

102. No, that's not the point. He got his slippery answer in, and she accepted it.

And Hatch portrayed it as something other than it was...and to my knowledge, she has not corrected that misrepresentation.

So the country THINKS he answered the question, when he didn't, really. The Hatch version has obviously taken hold.

If she has proof of a conversation, there is no perjury. Because he never even said whether or not he'd had a conversation w/someone from that firm about Mueller.

But having said that, he sure looked uncomfortable with the question (very telling!), and tried not to have to answer, or answer or a more limited question. So yeah...sure looked like he probably had a conversation w/someone at that firm about the Mueller investigation (of COURSE he did! That's Trump's lawyer's firm.) That's why Hatch tried to "clarify" and misrepresent his testimony the next day.

But it would be more meaningful if he had actually answered the question she posed. The closest he got was his first answer, "I'm not remembering." I guess I did not see what you saw. I saw some competent questioning, but not a blaze of glory.

I did think Cory Booker's moment was pretty good. Noteworthy.

I don't know much about either of them. I have nothing against either of them. But Booker did catch my attention as someone who bested a situation that was potentially not good, and he did release those documents. That was noteworthy and bold, IMO. They both did a great job.
