DC Tom

It's a bit of a flaw in the "special investigator" rules, primarily because it falls under the auspices of the executive branch. It's mitigated by 1) the DOJ being a presumably-independent branch of the executive branch (although formally, it really isn't.) And 2) by Congress having separate powers to investigate and impeach. That Congress doesn't use those powers properly - or at all - is largely, but not exclusively, their failing.

That looks far too much like Patrick Dempsey.

I'd never heard Cruz make a argument before. I don't particularly like him, but he must be a profoundly formidable presence in the courtroom. He'd make a good Supreme Court Justice.

***** genius. Cruz is everything of a court presence Kamala wishes she was.

Cruz is owning the Democrats. He's actually pretty damned funny.

Cruz looks like the love child of Eddie Munster and Randy Quaid.

His tweet-storm response to this is going to be amazing to behold.

"Conflict of interest." "What's my conflict of interest?" "I think the American public knows..." ***** what? She's not a serious person.

Kamala's asking if there was an investigation into the investigation.

Kamala time!

Because it's not illegal to be stupid.

I'm Spartacus!

Is Blackburn up for reelection? This is as much a campaign statement as Hirono's rant.

"Give us some credit for knowing what the hell is going on." "Not really." - Graham.

"Thank you Senator Hirono...I look forward to your impeachment filing for my supposed lying to Congress." Hirono is AOC in 40 years.

That was the bitchiest opening that I've ever heard. Booker's looking for someone to hold his beer, though... Sen. Hirono...is there a goddamn question somewhere in our future?

Not all of them. Booker, for example...no one would waste their time enrolling him in a conspiracy.

Pond scum saw more combat at Da Nang.

So basically, Trump is the love-child of Keyser Soze and Beavis.

Has anyone ever been judged harshly by history whose contemporaries claimed would be judged harshly by history?

No, Barr is going to be labelled as "confused" and "hesitant," hence dishonest. Because the media will only focus on the Democrats' questions, where he is confused and hesitant, largely because the Democrats are incoherent and confused. Kill me now, please.

That is slick as hell. Think of how many hours of training went into that, between both Williams and Christie. Those are two dedicated actresses.

And now he's doubling-down on the "When is spying not spying?" question.

Did Whitehouse just argue for the President waving regulations for is own self-interest? What a ***** idiot.

What an unbelievable ***** twerp.
