Thread Two - Hearings!

[malaise]

This is warming - Ms Jayapal is excellent - you are not a Senator yet - this is my time

[Iliyah]

1. Heeheehee

[malaise]

2. Have the ReTHUGs left the room?

I'm only hearing questions from Dems?

[demmiblue]

3. I am not watching anymore, but I am checking out some tweets:

Link to tweet

Rep. Jayapal is badass.

[BumRushDaShow]

4. Neguese is up!

Talking about the Presidential Records Act (in reference to Lewandowski taking notes and then hiding them in a special "safe" ).

He has gone back to Lieu's line of questioning about having apparently taken other notes (in contradiction to what was stated in the Mueller report)!!!

[malaise]

5. Some excellent questions

Let him tie himself up in knots

[BumRushDaShow]

7. He followed up on what Ted Lieu suddenly discovered earlier

Lewandowski had taken OTHER notes/dictation in Trump meetings and essentially lied to Mueller by saying that there was just that one time when he was asked to present a message to Sessions.

[mcar]

6. She was great

As was Val Demings and Lucy McBath.

[BumRushDaShow]

8. Stanton is nailing him to the wall

[malaise]

9. I want him to be found guilty of

Contempt of Congress

[BumRushDaShow]

11. They may be able to get him on perjury.

(re: having taken other "notes" at meetings that weren't mentioned to Mueller after claiming there was just the one set)

[malaise]

12. Yep

I'd love to see this arrogant scumbag locked up.

[BumRushDaShow]

10. ****5 MINUTE RECESS****

[H2O Man]

13. Recommended.

He should be in lock-up.

[BumRushDaShow]

14. Rep. Dean is up and and getting him on his influence-peddling!

(my other sister's representative)

[malaise]

15. Slim pickings

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

[BumRushDaShow]

16. Mucarsel-Powell - "This is not a reality TV show"

[malaise]

17. Dems are doing fine

I don't need the hacks to give me their interpretation. I can view things for myself.

[BumRushDaShow]

18. And a bunch of these Democrats are freshman just elected in 2018!

[BumRushDaShow]

19. Rep. Escobar just put word "bullshit" into the record (reading a statement)!

[malaise]

22. Go Mr Nadler!

Contempt of Congress under consideration.

Here come the questions.

[backtoblue]

20. Thanks for todays play by play you all

Ive been checking here on and off through the day. No access to watch, so much thanks!

[malaise]

23. You're welcome

[BumRushDaShow]

24. All kinds of things coming out!!!

Hope you are doing well (or at least hanging in there like the rest of)!!

[backtoblue]

42. My internet has been crappy this week

Not strong enough of a signal to stream video.

Im doing well. Still hanging onto my oar on these rough seas...

[BumRushDaShow]

45. Ack! I know that is a PITA

At least there are the play-by-play threads to help!

[BumRushDaShow]

21. The contract lawyers are coming up.

[avebury]

40. He came loaded for bear.

He is getting under Corey's skin. They need to get this guy on staff for the entire impeachment process.

[BumRushDaShow]

44. Yup - he is an expert at this

But note that most of the Democrats on that Committee are ALSO lawyers.

[BumRushDaShow]

25. Following Roberts Rules can be daunting

[malaise]

27. All they are doing is wasting time

They won't win this point

[BumRushDaShow]

29. They are afraid.

[BumRushDaShow]

26. The Republicans are afraid to have Lewandowski interrogated publicly

the stonewalling is just proving it.

[malaise]

30. They know why

Get on with it please - Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah for the stupid lawyer - how dare he.

[BumRushDaShow]

32. This Committee lawyer guy pulled out the long gun

[Mersky]

28. Gah, they're like children fighting over who gets the cookie

Motion to adjourn is denied. Not enough republicon toddlers present to take the ball away from the majority.

[BumRushDaShow]

31. They are afraid of the responses that Lewandowski might utter.

Lewandowski already perjured himself by having withheld evidence from Mueller.

[malaise]

33. Got him on the first question

[Backseat Driver]

34. Circus of Obstruction by GOP and witness!

Contempt for Congressional Oversite in full display - when will Nancy find an entity to take them for a ride in the paddy wagon until they can be forthright. How can oversite do its job when there are no immediate consequences to not answering the questions asked in this venue?

[malaise]

35. Did you lie

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Got you you arrogant asshole

[BumRushDaShow]

36. Lewandowski - "I have no obligation to be honest with the media"

[crazylikafox]

38. LOL - great quote for his Senate campaign opposition ads

[Mersky]

39. This! Hahaha!

[malaise]

43. It's been a long day

Boo fucking Hoo!!!!

[BumRushDaShow]

46. The hearing only started at 1:00 pm and was late getting started at that

It's not like he started at 9 am or 10 am.

[malaise]

47. He has been exposed by his own book

Things he can't say he wrote

[BumRushDaShow]

48. And he is suddenly confused about what he wrote

[malaise]

49. What a dwerp

[BumRushDaShow]

51. He has been outed for being the fraud that he is.

[Mersky]

37. I'm detecting a theme

Under oath? He's an angel, a good boy scout.

On television news? He's a lying sack of 💩

[malaise]

41. Yep - I hope the media hacks are listening

Lying liars

[BumRushDaShow]

50. BWAH!! He just gagged on signing copies of the Mueller report at an event

claiming he never read it.

[uponit7771]

52. +1, it doesn't look like Lew had a good day in regards to hiding Red Don's obstruction.

[BumRushDaShow]

54. Because he was part of it!

[uponit7771]

58. RIGHT !!! All the bluster and other crap they could've saved for laer

[malaise]

53. Collins really thinks he can pull this off

A member is not staff

[avebury]

56. If a female Representative spoke out like Collins, Jordan

and some of the others, she would be accused of being hysterical and overly emtional.

I just want to smack them over the head and tell them to grow up.

[BumRushDaShow]

57. He's doing his kabuki theater.

He wanted 30 minutes so he and the clown Gym Jordan could pontificate for 30 minutes. I guess it could have been worse had Gohmert actually been there too (but he hasn't been).

[Kurt V.]

55. the young women of the house are better at this than most of the rest. just sayin

[avebury]

59. There as a woman contract lawyer (included in the

discussion of contract versus staff members. She doesn't get a chance to ask questions? If so - bummer.

Rep. Collins - If I can't have my way I will take my marbles and go home.

[BumRushDaShow]

62. I think the woman you are referring to is Rep. Zoe Lofgren

who is apparently on the House Administrative Committee and has been relaying that info back to this particular committee (which is also a member of). Lofgren was a staffer for the House Judiciary Committee back during the Watergate Hearings.

[BumRushDaShow]

60. So the GOP has no plan.

[BumRushDaShow]

61. Recess subject to the chair at a later date.

So sounds like they plan to bring him back later!

[malaise]

63. Guess they're waiting for the courts to rule on this made up

executive privilege and/or contempt of Congress

[BumRushDaShow]

65. He was supposed to be there with 2 others

who refused to come so yup.... PLUS this thing about other dictated notes that he apparently took that Lieu uncovered during his questioning - THAT is gonna definitely get a subpoena!

[Mersky]

64. A rough summary of answers?! to attorney Berke's questioning:

Yes, he, CL, was asked to deliver the message to sessions

Butt! He's not a lawyer, not privileged enough to go to Harvard (that's his gross, wink, wink, repubs are not the party of wealthy elites), so has no idea whether the request to pressure the attorney general on the pResident's behest is proper.

Not a priority to deliver the message, only thinks for himself when convenient, went on vacation, crawled back under a rock... Does not recall.

Didn't read the Mueller report, but he knows the information in the report is accurate. Promoted his book which he agrees with and does not.
