Did he just say he came as an interested citizen i.e. not as a senator OR as a surrogate? No way he hasn't contradicted that before.

"Historically, we've seen that they shouldn't be revealed."

Well, yes. But historically we've also seen the Civil War, for instance, and nobody but you J. Beauregard S. thinks we should keep doing that.

e: and yes he's calling him Mr. Chairman, he's the assistant chairman or whatever, I assume that's technically correct

Is there a single thing in the Steele Dossier that has been "thoroughly discredited"? I thought we had confirmation of everything except the piss tape and nothing was wrong that we knew of.

Relative to everything else he's asked, it was far more relevant and pointed. Like this babble coming out of his mouth now, for instance!

Do they maintain a particular ratio of senators in these hearings? It would suck if they stacked it with Rs.
Every member of the committee, so it's 50/50. And the chair and vice chair get double the time, but that's one of each party.

(actually I think it's +1 R on this committee because, you know, odd number.)

Actually, I'm kinda surprised Manchin is asking about sanctions. That seems like he came in fixated on that and has totally dropped the executive privilege thing.

(come on Kamala, handle it)

e: interesting, he didn't ask "will you closed session", he asked "would a closed session change your answers"
