He really let him have it. Awesome stuff.

WOW
He's had months to plan this. I'm sure he's rehearsed it in the shower, during his commute. I'm just impressed at the restraint he showed.

(11,738 posts)It looks like he is trying to display contempt, but it comes off as vacuous. The Republicans will fall back to "playing the refs". That is their only play here. They rarely if ever, have anything worthwhile to say on a policy or even ideological level so they revert back to complaining about the process (that they control) and arguing that anyone but themselves are to blame for the current state of affairs.

(81,265 posts)If everything in there was on the up n up, hed tease their release toward a big splashy prime time reveal, days in advance, like he has with his Supreme Court picks.
We all know why you wont cough em up, Donald.
Transparency in s NOT his friend, any more than its the GOPers friend as they desperately try to distract from, and cover up, their own failures.

(3,056 posts)But just turned it off to watch Colbert from last night. I'm trying to eat, and I just couldn't do it watching and listening to the hypocrisy of the damned Trumpists. Funny how Gowdy could rant for as long as he wanted, but Dems were sure as hell held to time limits. Really good to see someone stand up to them. They got too used to Democrats behaving like doormats, and they don't know how to handle it when their own tactics are used against them. Gowdy looked like a deer in the headlights.
However, when are the Dems, journalists, pundits, etc., going to counter that damned "the American people elected Trump" bullshit??? NO, WE DIDN'T. A method of counting votes, unique to electing the president, put him in power, with the help of Putin.

(10,127 posts)It was a complete joke and an embarrassment to those chambers and the American people. It will definitely be the "strong point" focused on by Fox for their masses of complete dumbasses itching for an excuse as to why they are not dumbasses. "100 million to ZERO?!, So you did not think 1 person would vote for Donald Trump? Not 1?!!, what if we divided that by 10, is it still zero?!"
Seriously, it is such a farce.

FBI agent rejects GOP allegations of anti-Trump bias in contentious hearing
Peter Strzok testifies that anti-Trump texts he traded with an FBI lawyer in the run-up to the 2016 election reflected personal views that he never acted on
