How sweet it is to watch the despicably mendacious Atty Gen'l squirm in the hot seat under interrogation by such patriots as Gaetz, Jordan, Roy, and others. In the last bit I caught, the crapweasel was asked whether it was illegal to question an election. He couldn't seem to grasp the question. Finally the superannuated Demento-shill tried to dismiss it as 'hypothetical.'  He must think we are stupid.

Nothing hypothetical about it at all: a simple question about the law.  Is it illegal to ask questions or to express opinions about the legitimacy of an election? Obviously not. The right to do so is guaranteed by the First Amendment.  Hillary did it re: 2016, and so have others about 2016 and other elections.

The panel is now back from recess, but I've had my fill. Linkage later.

UPDATE (9/21)

Soviet-Born Republican's Exchange With AG Garland Will Give You Chills

Representative Victoria Spartz is a woman who grew up in the totalitarian, authoritarian, stifling, single party, communist state of the Soviet Union, and she's now worried that her voters, her constituents, the citizens who live in her district who asked her to represent them are now afraid of their own government.

Such establishment conservatives as Mike Pence and Chris Christie, who hate Trump more than they hate the obvious election interference perpetrated by the Left, seem willing to accept political dhimmitude  as long as they can enjoy the perquisites and pelf of office-holding lap dogs. See here for a trenchant analysis of the GOP 'debate.' A taste:

The Democrats and the media run a constant clown show, but the Republicans play along as useless puppets, willfully participating in a system designed to destroy them. The Republican party is allowing itself to be rigged by playing by the rules of an old system that no longer exists. The Democrats, bureaucracy, and media are vicious apparatchiks. They are a dirty and obvious enemy who clearly need to be fought. The Republicans are worse because they don’t see their own participation in the Big Lie. They would rather step over Trump’s dead political body than save the republic. 

Run Ramaswamy against Joe Dementia and it's in the bag. You decide. Less than 23 minutes. VR has an astonishing command of the issues. He has it all except name recognition. But that could change. He is young, brilliant, articulate, a self-funding outsider who is not another professional politician who went to law school, and a 'person of color' to use that asinine expression. All to the good in point of electability.

He is also extremely personable and able to keep his cool even when dealing with a disgusting CNN hack like Acosta.  Watch the expressions on the shill's face.

Nomen est omen:

Vivek (or Bibek/Bivek in some regions) is a masculine given name that is popular in South Asia, particularly in India and Nepal. It is of Sanskrit origin and means "wisdom" and/or "conscience". (Wikipedia)

There are only three serious candidates for the GOP nod: Trump, DeSantis, and Ramaswamy. What do those other clowns think they are doing? Pence? What a joke! That nattering nabob of negativism, Chris Christie? Get off the stage and go on a diet. The slob thinks he can gain traction by attacking Trump.   

Tucker on Twitter, Episode 17, interviews Ramaswamy.

CORRECTION (8/24).  What I wrote above may give the impression that VR did not go to law school. He has a J. D. from Yale.

Read for free his What if We Are the Bad Guys Here? 

I invite Vito Caiati's comments and anyone else's who is capable of saying something intelligent and to the point.

Addendum 8/6

I wonder if David Brooks can understand the point of the graphic below. In its third clause, the First Amendment guarantees free speech and the freedom of the press.  Now there was evidence of election fraud in the 2020 election.  Maybe a lot, maybe a little. No matter. But even if there was none all, we all have the right to express our opinion on the question, even Donald J. Trump. No man is below the law! Not even the president of the United States.  By indicting him, the deep state operatives in the DOJ, CIA, FBI, NSA, the White House, and wherever else are plainly interfering with the  2024 election.

And yet these people go on and on about democracy. But what could be more anti-democratic than election fraud? 

 

Ep. 3 America's principles are at stake

It is only fitting that a fiscally irresponsible people should get a fiscally irresponsible government.  And that a people without virtue should be ruled by the vicious. And that a nation that has lost its collective marbles should be presided over by a decrepit specimen who has long since lost his.

The people can't think but they can gawk over endless  views of a sad old man tripping over a sandbag. And then the pundits wonder whether he is physically fit for office. But his physical decrepitude and age are not what primarily disqualify him. What does so are his being non compos mentis, his being morally corrupt, and his being the empty vessel of destructive leftist ideas. So no, Hillary dear, he is not "doing a good job." Joey is not doing jack.

Forbes:

The basic conclusions reached by the Durham report mirror the thesis of my book Get Trump: namely that good people have been willing to do bad things in order to prevent Donald Trump from being elected (or reelected) as president. These good people honestly believe that the noble (at least in their view) end in “getting” Trump and preventing him from being president justifies ignoble means, including mendacity and violation of long-established principles.

There can be no doubt that the Durham report is correct in having concluded that government officials – from the top down – viewed the evidence (or lack thereof) through the prism of resolving all doubts against Trump and in favor of his opponents. This was not so much a partisan bias, favoring Democrats over Republicans, because some of the worst offenders are Republicans who honestly believe that the Trump presidency endangered the national security of the United States.

The RFK [Jr.] Potential for Political Disruption

His main target was the corrupt relationship between large corporations and captured administrative bureaucracies. He has spent his career battling such corruption in the realm of environmental regulation and wants to use his knowledge and experience to expand that battle to the whole of the administrative state. In what might have been the biggest applause line of the night, he said as president he would never be muscled or manipulated by any bureaucrat or lobbyist.

[. . .]

To be sure, he has been on record in being among the climate-change alarmists in even recent history. Have his views on this topic shifted in light of the fake COVID science of the last three years and the lockdown experience? Perhaps so. Many people on the left have begun to rethink this topic and perhaps RFK is among them. He certainly seems to have zero interest in anything like a “great reset” and he is not a member of the World Economic Forum.

[. . .]

His next area was the most satisfying to me personally. He broke the public silence on the critical issue of COVID lockdowns. He chronicled the astonishing expense for which we gained nothing, and blasted companies like Amazon that censored contrary views while driving the competition out of business. He spoke with fire about the shutting down of small business and the violation of people’s property rights and religious liberties and illustrated a profound command of the facts, being how the lockdowns created an even worst public-health crisis.

[. . . ]

Finally, he called for a national conversation about this proxy war that is developing with Russia. The first excuse for U.S. involvement was purely humanitarian but it is mutating into yet another disaster along lines of the Iraq war. He demanded an immediate end to U.S. funding and a push for a diplomatic solution before it is too late. He further called for closing military bases around the world and bringing the troops home, plus a revival of U.S. economic strength. In the course of this discussion, he explained with great competence the threat to the U.S. dollar from the recent moves by BRICS to abandon trade in the dollar.

UPDATE (4/24) RFK, Jr. on why Tucker got the boot.
