WASHINGTON — A Republican-led Senate panel backed away from a plan to restrict media cameras in parts of the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday after Democrats and some Republicans criticized the move as an attempt to curtail press access.

Senate staff who manage press access told television network reporters earlier Tuesday that they could no longer film interviews with senators in the hallways of the Capitol without first receiving permission, citing a directive from the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration.

'The Silent Majority' was a rallying cry used by Nixon to tell his base that people who were protesting the Vietnam war were just a vocal minority of upstart kids.
If I remember correctly, I think Reagan used it too on the campaign trail.

The silent majority is the best thing to claim is on your side when you lack actual supporters.

Or when your policy is so shameful that nobody wants to be seen in public supporting it, I guess.

The opposite - Sessions said that Kislyak was getting 'salty' when Sessions pressured him on Ukraine.

McCain said he found that easy to believe, "knowing you", or words to that effect.

OK. That makes more sense. It's hard to believe McCain could have made a sweet dunk on another Republican, and turns out, he's not a maverick after all

Let's be fair, a large amount of politics has been soundly reduced to team sports and echo chambers.

That said, Sir Donald "Grab 'em by the Pussy" Trump is rather blatant about being a real jackass, at least towards women, so it doesn't excuse that.

The chairman of a Chinese financial conglomerate who tried to forge a business relationship with President Trump’s son-in-law has been detained by police.

Wu Xiaohui, the chairman of Anbang Insurance Group, was taken away by the police on Friday in Beijing, according to Caijing, a respected newsmagazine. In a statement early Wednesday morning in China, the company said that Mr. Wu was “for personal reasons no longer able to perform his duties.”

I feel like the democrats on the committee really missed an opportunity to drive the wedge in further between Sessions and Trump. I really wanted them to highlight the differences between what Sessions and Trump have said on the record.

Fyck Sessions for his "non-privileged, but privileged" non-rule that they were evidently completely unprepared for. I mean did they expect that at any point he would drop juicy details of their conversations? They had no plan B, but what else should be expect at this point? Lol.

That's what I don't get. So many "I don't wanna answer and there's no legal reason why" answers. Why isn't there a lawyer there going "That's not a reason answer the question or get charged with perjury"?

After months of rejecting multiple job requests, businesswoman Cindy McCain has accepted a State Department position in the Trump administration, sourced told the Daily Beast on Monday.

Two senior administration officials, who requested anonymity, claimed it is a "done deal" for both parties. President Trump "aggressively courted" McCain to accept a position in his administration. Her potential title is a "U.S. ambassador-at-large for human rights."

quote:

According to a White House official, Trump’s daughter and adviser, Ivanka Trump, had a strong role in encouraging her father to pursue Cindy McCain for a position in his administration. Ivanka Trump hosted an anti-human trafficking event at the White House last month and was reportedly impressed by Cindy McCain’s experience in working on global humanitarian issues. Cindy McCain was a former chairwoman of HALO USA, a humanitarian organization which clears war-torn communities of landmines and other unexploded bombs and devices. She has also been an advocate against sex trafficking.

He was claiming that he was complying with DOJ policies that have been in place for years and that that in itself gives him immunity/the right to not answer certain questions. Of course, when asked about it he couldn't answer whether he knew if they are actually written somewhere or if he's ever even seen them. And when asked if he could provide proof of these policies if they are written down he basically answered "If I feel like it".

Because there is a legal reason why and he explained it. "I don't like the reason" isn't "there isn't one."

Also "gently caress you" isn't perjury. Perjury is lying and "you can go gently caress yourself" isn't a lie.
