He was weak in his answers about what candidates should do if they are contacted by a foreign govt with dirt on opponent. He would NOT state what Lindsey Graham was driving at, until Graham came out & said something like, "Look, you want to be the FBI Director. Now, you need to tell these people here what they should do if contacted by a foreign govt with dirt on an opponent, and that a foreign govt wanted to interfere with our election process." THEN, and only then, did the guy say something 'round about & weak, like "I would say that the FBI would be interested in such communications...." blah blah blah.

In other words, he's letting Trump know, "I've got your back. Jr. didn't do anything wrong, per se, in not notifying intel that Russia wanted to interfere in our election."

Yep. He's a Trump nominee, all right.
