Brian Williams and his media pals seem to be afflicted with the Stockholm syndrome.

I would bet money he never watched the entire hearing today. He formed his editorial opinions from the first hour or so?

How much progress did they expect the Democrats to make today? For the first time, the Committee got direct testimony from a witness who validated that Donald Trump dictated a message to him to give to Jeff Sessions to give to the public - or else be fired. Attempted obstruction is the same as obstruction in the eyes of the law.

With that said, the Democrats made a great leap forward today. Unfortunately, the media, not just Brian Williams, rushed to report what a terrible job the Democrats did? Why did they do that? It looks either complicit or under the effects of the Stockholm syndrome?

Then, we get these wimpy little reporters on to say that the "Democrats did not move the ball". It sounds like somebody dictated a letter to them?

not say so much that he knew. But they got it out of him. Trump asked him to threaten Sessions at least once when he directed him and again after Corey's vacation.

Probably thought he'd been shot down in a helicopter again; or maybe he was awed by the beauty of the bombs landing in Yemen today blowing children to pieces. He can choke on a dried turd.

seat and try to make a run for it only to be captured by Capitol Police, wrestled to the ground, and dragged out of the hearing room crying "TELL MOMMY I LOVE HER AND I'LL WRITE HER EVERY DAY!!!" so the hearing was a big flop and, of course, that's all the Democrats' fault.

He said it usually takes two days to know what effect a hearing might have.

I'm remembering how very quickly the same people dumped on Mueller.

They will bring an end to Democracy in America and give us a Fascist government.
