Is this Sessions hearing just a free-for-all?

[nolabear]

I thought there was a point to all this. They’re asking questions about everything from pot to the murder rate under Obama.

Are the Republicans just throwing irrelevant random questions out to take up time or am I missing something?

1. It is party over country.

Disgusting.

[oasis]

2. GOP is setting it up to look as if congress is requiring Sessions to investigate

Obama/HRC. This gets Trump off the hook for asking Sessions to do so.

4. Yep, sure looks like that's the intent! n/t

3. I was watching, thinking the same. It's more like a biased news conference with

"irrelevant random questions ..."

5. What does Moore have to do with this hearing?

I'm so confused.

7. Well our guys aren't exactly laser focused either. nt

12. That sure as hell comes across. I keep vowing not to swear at the TV.

8. It's my understanding that this is a

regularly-scheduled "Oversight of the Department of Justice" hearing, not a hearing specifically related to Russia etc., which is why they're asking questions about all kinds of stuff (although obviously the Republicans are doing their best to avoid talking about Russia).

[B2G]

10. Thank you. I had no idea if there was a particular topic.

Let the free for all continue. Lol.

[nolabear]

13. Oh! Thats helpful. Thanks.

11. It was billed as a "routine" hearing

Sessions has to report to the Judiciary Committee fairly regularly, or at its request.

[nolabear]

14. So its just important because were so fucked.

[a kennedy]

15. This is the House committee.....wonder if its not really as relevant

as the Senate hearings??? Questions are off the wall.......

16. The time allotted is not sufficient, built to fail....5 mins, yes or no, etc.

Mr IDontRecall will give us no new information, however let us continue to skewer the president elected by the people and the previous administration.

Huge F to them all that carry the (R).

17. Some of these

Rethug congressmen are unbelievable.

[nolabear]

18. Jim Jordan is up to no good. That was an anti-Clinton screed.

Even Sessions knew that.

[GallopingGhost]

19. And Karen

Handel. What an ass-kissing, barf-inducing exchange that was.
