I loving hate gowdy, his face is so punchable. I only heard of them two years ago when a few friends were hyping him as a principled politician who wasn't afraid to go against the party line. Then I saw his Benghazi poo poo and I knew just how much bs that claim was

It's not like anything happened to Comey when he released his dumb statement about Hillary last year.

Yup. What a fiasco.

And by fiasco I mean a poorly planned, terribly executed assault that degenerated into what was basically a retaliatory massacre.

Completely off the top of my head:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_State_killings

Also during the Battle Of Omaha some police fired into the lynch mob but only got one kill:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omaha_race_riot_of_1919

quote:

Shots were fired as the mob pillaged hardware stores in the business district and entered pawnshops, seeking firearms. Police records showed that more than 1,000 revolvers and shotguns were stolen that night. The mob shot at any policeman; seven officers received gunshot wounds, although none of the wounds were serious.
Louis Young, 16 years old, was fatally shot in the stomach while leading a gang up to the fourth floor of the building. Witnesses said the youth was the most intrepid of the mob's leaders.

quote:

The crowd surged toward the mayor. He fought them. One man hit the mayor on the head with a baseball bat. Another slipped the noose of a rope around his neck. The crowd started to drag him away.
"If you must hang somebody, then let it be me," the mayor said.
The mob dragged the mayor into Harney Street. A woman reached out and tore the noose from his neck. Men in the mob replaced it. Spectators wrestled the mayor from his captors and placed him in a police automobile. The throng overturned the car and grabbed him again. Once more, the rope encircled the mayor's neck. He was carried to Sixteenth and Harney Streets. There he was hanged from the metal arm of a traffic signal tower.
Mayor Smith was suspended in the air when State Agent Ben Danbaum drove a high-powered automobile into the throng right to the base of the signal tower. In the car with Danbaum were City Detectives Al Anderson, Charles Van Deusen and Lloyd Toland. They grasped the mayor and Russell Norgard untied the noose. The detectives brought the mayor to Ford Hospital. There he lingered between life and death for several days, finally recovering. "They shall not get him. Mob rule will not prevail in Omaha," the mayor kept muttering during his delirium.

Oh my loving lord, Mike Conaway is a colossal moron.


Conaway: "When did you guys decide that Moscow had a clear preference?"

Comey: "Uh, that was fairly easy, because Putin hated Secretary Clinton so much"

Conaway:"Well, that might fly on a Sunday when the Raiders play the Longhorns (the gently caress?), but could you be more specific (rambles on for 2 minutes)"

Comey: "Well, when you hate one outcome, you would prefer that outcome get defeated by its opponent, hence the preference."

Conaway: (stutters, rambles on for 2 more minutes)


shyduck posted:

He's trying to make the argument that, just because Putin didn't like Hillary doesn't mean he would support Trump, but his argument was falling apart before he even introduced the dumb football reference. Then it somehow imploded into a singularity.

You're not really missing a lot by not seeing it live. The Dems are trying to establish that Russia preferred Trump, they tried to get some details out of potential investigations that Trump colluded with Russia but got zilch, they then got confirmation that Obama didn't wiretap Trump, and they're essentially trying to kick up some more fuss over Trump campaign officials lying over poo poo they didn't really need to lie about.

The Republicans are basically going "BUT OBAMA/HILLARY WERE ALSO BAD" and muddying the waters with other bullshit.

The only relevant thing to come out of this for me so far is the on-the-record assurance that Trump's wiretapping claims are bullshit, and that Rogers in no uncertain means said that Trump throwing hissy-fits on Twitter and making GBS threads on allies damages our relationships with allies.


tl;dr: Two relevant things so far, the rest is people on both sides trying to grandstand while failing miserably.

It's pretty obvious that nobody here is expecting any real answers and this is about disseminating the respective arguments of either party. One being that, "hey look at all this hosed up poo poo that seems to point to grounds for an investigation," and the other being, "the real issue is these damned leaks and my wife's opinions on football teams (?)."

She's not even making many "good" points for the record. King, as much of a blowhard as he is, is at least getting his point across. Sewell's point seems to be that she really likes CSI-type tv shows and that's the extent of her understanding of investigations.

I get what they're trying to do, but she did a poor job getting the point across.


King is rambling about leaks in a pretty disconnected way, though.
