Pelosi:

One of the worst classified briefings we’ve received from the Trump administration

Wow, I’m surprised Nancy would be expecting anything more.

The Trump administration is stonewalling. It is what the next two years are going to be like. I hope he and his wife Cruella DeVil got their money wall paper hung.

I’m surprised Mnuchin is even capable of speech

One by one we’re seeing how incompetent all the Lump’s appointments are. Hope Mnuchin is beyond embarrassed when he reads statements from his ā€œbriefingā€.

Public hearings. Direct questions, repeated as much as is necessary. A firm hand when it comes to enforcing contempt for the court violations. Justice is at stake, as is our country. This is where we need LEADERSHIP.

Well, to be fair, maybe she wasn’t expecting anything else.

But it’s good that she doesn’t let it go unsaid.

They should subpoena his ass over and over and over again until he gets tired of having to show up and testifies with real info.

When your job is defending the indefensible, maybe it’s time to look for a new gig?

So is there a charge you can catch for being dilatory when testifying to Congress? Seems like the way it ought to work you either take the Fifth or answer the questions.

I can only think that for these gangsters the money and influence takes the sting out of the occasional awkward moment.

Mnuchin strikes as a person who is completely at a loss when being asked to explain himself and his actions. How dare a person such as he, be put in such a position… As a member of the elite, he is beyond that. The peasants should suffer for doing so.

Too many associated with Trump have this same attitude.

Contempt of Congress works for me. I’d privately tell Mnuchin he has one more chance to get it right. If he comes in again and stalls and tells obvious lies and quarter-truths (I don’t believe this clown posse can get to half-truths, myself) I’d hang a contempt of Congress charge on his ass. Pour encourager les autres, y’know?

The purpose of calling this briefing was to give Democrats reason to block this lifting of sanctions. Munchkin had nothing constructive to say, so immediately put a bill on the floor to block the lifting of sanctions and dare the Rethugs to vote against it.

I suspect that the only thing that matters in conservative circles is how many judges the right wing can get installed before all the gonifs–Trump, Mnuchin, Graham, McCarthy, Nunes–all of them–are either in jail or on their way out of town. That and tax cuts; everything else is mere details.

Well ok but where is the context. I understand that it was a classified briefing but if there was little classified info given perhaps some examples could be given.
