I guess it’s nothing new from them. But holy moly. Watching this, is almost satirical the way they interrupt, use leading questions, and just finish their narrative without even letting him speak.

“YOU DID, DID YOU NOT?!”
“I-”
“OF COURSE YOU DID, AND THAT IS WHY…”

So emotional and dramatic. But then again, what else do they have? Facts, evidence, truth certainly isn’t in their favor.

Whatcha think? Also, please feel free to talk about the hearing generally.

    They were so fucking disgusting how do they sleep at night.

    The most disgusting thing was them bringing up that his conduct was wrong because the law changed. Ignoring that it was changed afterwards by trump for this exact reason.

    Or how they kept saying since he lost a few cases he can’t be trusted as a prosecutor.

    I can’t watch. I just can’t. Everything is a bullying shitshow, and I simply cannot fathom how so many people support it - let alone think it’s a legit way forward. This crap would’ve been literally unthinkable just a few decades ago.

      I also find it draining. Renews my gratitude for the journalists who watch this entire crap and stay on target, giving us a concise rundown at the end, and in some cases even live.

        It was painful, jack smith; serious person, professional, doing a job. The dems: asking questions, getting answers. Repubes: clowns, pontificating on wild hallucinations.

        My favorite part that I saw was one magat fool just started making up shit, then shuffled through his papers saying ‘um um um ah um well didn’t umm’ trying to find a way to make his stupid work or make any sense. Which is wild, because they just spew stuff that if you think about for any time makes no sense anyway.
