Hearing begins @21:30 min. Sen. Grassley intro. Actually, decent.
@35:41 Sen. Feinstein Intro. Good work!
@42:18 Sen. Cornyn (Texas) JERK! spewing disinformation.
@48:18 Sen. Durbin intro. Great!
@54:00 Sen. Grassley introduces the panel witnesses.
@59:20 each panel member makes a 5-min statement. x6 of them.
Then the Q&A starts. Each Senator will have 7-minutes.

@2:06 Sen. Durbin gets real!

Protestors are present, holding signs and walking with them.

Shocking, Powerful segment! Top Trump officials refuse to raise their hands to defend family separation and not one of them would say who was responsible for the policy.

1. Cornyn tries to distract from the issue.

He tries to confuse the issue of the separation of families & the conditions & the missing parents/children...he talks about illegal immigration - which is not the issue at hand. He talks about unaccompanied children in the past having sponsors & now unaccounted for - not the issue at hand. Then he openly criticizes the media and "those across the aisle" - appealing to the base like Trump does to create the now-normal hatred of Democrats, the media, and illegal immigrants.

Durbin: Passionate & excellent! Feinstein was good, too.

The bald guy is creepy.

Orin Hatch - barf.

What a mess. They better fix this.

2. It is a huge mess and apparently no one was responsible.

3. Marked for later viewing... Important, but I have to steady myself to watch...

My anger boils over, matched only by my shame and distress...
