The Army-McCarthy 'hearings' pale in comparison to the Hillary Interrogation/Inquisition.

It's like a bizzaro segment of "Law and Order".
They have their perp in the interrogation room and they'll break her any way they can.

I'm 74. I watched the McCarthy hearings on TV.
Even as a kid, I knew they were just wrong.
I knew he was a scary man.

This just goes WAY beyond that.
It takes a lot to tick me off, but I am just outraged by this blatantly partisan Star Chamber/Kangaroo Court.

I am ashamed as an American that this kind of thing is allowed to happen.
WE are shamed in the eyes of the world.

The repugs have visited us with an absolutely unbelievable clusterfuck.
Our enemies must be gloating.

Perhaps longer, considering Bush family complicity with the Nazis, anti-FDR coup plans, etc....

I was one year old at the time. Read all about it and watched clips. That's what this strikes me as mirroring.

I see Sheila Jackson Lee seated in the back, visible over Hillary's right shoulder, btw. I have a feeling that Democrats will be standing even prouder tonight than they were when this week opened.

All these CONs are merely making themselves look like petty, partisan little piss-ants. Sore Losermen ALL. Adam Schiff is doing a great job now (as I write this).

She's been at this for what? NINE hours so far? It was already on when we woke up this morning about 7:30 or so, Pacific time. Now, it's after 5PM, Pacific time, and it's STILL going on. Stunning. Just STUNNING. And she's still poised and composed and cool as a cucumber. The CONs at this inquisition are wasting our time and our tax money. Adam Schiff just now noted how they're all STILL looking for the "gotcha" question that will make one or the other of them BIG stars! And they're not gonna find it even if they continue this empaneled persecution through this time TOMORROW night!

This is a tour de force on her part. And yes, she looks mighty presidential today. ALL DAY today. Proud of her I am!
