But there was nothing to redact? She didn’t answer anything.
Barr would redact her failure to answer.
The administration is down with waterboarding, isn’t it? The committee could allow her to bring her posse of lawyers.
Rep Nadler: “Ms. Hicks, did you use deionized, distilled, or just plain tap water when steaming the President’s trousers?”
Purpura: “Ms. Hicks may not be compelled to speak about events that occurred during her service as a senior adviser to the President.”
Nadler: “Refusal to answer is an outrageous misreading of the law and an affront to the entire institution of the United States Congress! But anyway let’s move on to the next question”
Read the full transcript here:
Chairman Nadler: “Good morning.”
WH Lawyer: “Objection! Speculation.”
Chairman Nadler: “You object to my greeting?”
WH Lawyer: “Objection! Leading question.”
Chairman Nadler: “You must be an attorney.”
DOJ Lawyer: “Objection! Assumes facts not in evidence.”
(8 hours later)
Chairman Nadler (exasperated): “Hearing is adjourned.”
WH Lawyer: “Objection! Hearsay.”
Did Senior WH Pants Steamer actually say anything? What a waste of time.
Nadler: “That is the 32nd question you have refused to answer. This is an outrage! We should hold you in contempt of Congress! But let’s just move on to the next question.”
I assume this transcript will be submitted to a Federal Judge as evidence of Trump’s Obstruction of Justice and the nonsensical basis on which he’s claiming privilege.
I suppose it’s important to have it documented. Now let’s do something with this evidence and let’s do it yesterday.
Lipsticked Gucci sociopath.
But enough about Ms. Lindsey…
Speaker Pelosi continues to say we(Democrats) must investigate and lay out the facts for the American people.
I think the speaker can see something a lot of us can’t see.No testimony from witnesses called by congress ,no documents sent by the white house.Obstruction is laughing in our faces,but the speaker says in so many words be patient.
I guess she is waiting for Trump to sign a confession that he obstructed justice and colluded with Russia in the 2016 elections.
Nadler: “One more refusal to answer and we will come down on you with devastating force. What did you have for lunch today?”
Lawyer: “OBJECTION”
Nadler: “OK, I guess that’s all the questions I have.”
What is the average airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
Or, or waiting for him to keel over from one too many McD’s delicious fare.
So if I’m to read the Dem’s purpose here. It was to get her on record not going on record about anything which is the peoples business? I understand the need to have confidential conversations within the Whitehouse, but covering up real or potentially illegal action cannot possibly fall under those auspices.
Dems need to grow a fucking pair Yesterday!
Chairman Nadler to Ms Hicks: “Are you present?”
DOJ Lawer: *Objection! Speaking to the witness!"
