What's the point of asking him questions if she's just going to verbal diarrhea all over the microphone? 

 

I always marvel that these people maintain their composure in the face of aggressive idiots. I wouldn't fare so well myself. Barely avoided a HB ban from the mods this week.

Speaking of handling oneself well in the face of idiotic peers - Stacey Plaskett continues to give folks a run for the money.  So grateful she is second to Gym Jordon on this committee.

I wouldn't either. I'd be real quick to tell them to FO and stop wasting everybody's time.

These people don't ask questions with the purpose of actually learning something.  They ask questions as a way to make a political statement.  They don't give a crap about what the real facts are.

One of my biggest gripes about politicians and political hearings.  Both parties are at fault here

It's like they all just want to get a clip for Twitter or some campaign ad. Annoying.

Honestly I think politicians are truly thinking about how these hearings and how they handle witnesses look for future campaigns and viral clips, then they get on whatever their chosen cable news program is.

 

To play devils advocate a bit though, most of the witness’s in these hearings now a days don’t say squat and just try to poke around the edges with their answers, or “ don’t recall, to the best of my memory, can’t answer it’s an ongoing investigation, too classified” or just have so long winded answers that say nothing to take up the time limit of the questioner.  This especially happens with Government witness’s.  
 

would love to get honest questions and people actually answer those questions.

Hmmmm...I guess I haven't seen that in hearings I've watched in the last few years.

I would like a Republican to explain to me how the indictment of someone is destroying the rule of law.

Wouldn't it be destroying the rule of law more if he broke the law, they have evidence of that and DON'T press charges?

Wow.....is this when we are supposed to "support the blue"?

 

Actually, this is not a surprise.  Some of the biggest traffickers of drugs and guns in the poor areas of Chicago are.......the police.
