Joyce Vance, Barb McQuade and Dean have done a nice job showing Heritage Found. lacky, Malcolm [View all]

(John Malcolm) for the bullshitter (like Barr) that he is. He comes out looking really bad, IMO.

BTW, he is responsible for Kavanagh being nominated.


For those who didn't see the hearings this afternoon, please see the FULL video below. John Dean was great, but my biggest congrats and praise has to go to Barbara McQuade and Joyce White Vance--two former Federal prosecutors (now law professors) whose experience, concise answers, preparedness and surgical dissection of the Republican's attempts at "gotcha questions" were both just phenomenal.

I thought they were a great choice (though I have great love and respect for the likes of Laurence Tribe, Norm Eisen, Neal Katyal and others), but I honestly don't think anyone could have done better than these incredibly competent women!
