She knows what he's trying to do, but she's basically strung him up and let him hang.

Women in positions of authority in general tend to be more hard-nosed and less inclined to put up with the sort of games being played here. We're seeing that demonstrated by some of them.

The next congressperson demonstrates how effectively had Scanlon used her "yes or no" tactic to cut off any propagandizing masquerading as answer. Rep. Garcia is doing a good job of exposing the DOJ's viciously callous and inhumane attitudes toward the tearing apart of families and seemingly no duty whatsoever regarding them.

wouldn't answer and she cut him off gave her the opportunity to repeat the "isn't it true" accusation.

I like her. Of course, I'm liking a lot of them. I even liked that Republican for pointing out Comey's and the FBI's corrupt activities, even though he was channeling the far right's "deep state" house of mirrors viewpoint.

who'd resent the very idea of being questioned by women, and he suffered a whole bunch of them today. Hope he steams all night.

Tough as nails and didn't let Whitaker talk around her questions or run out the damn clock. He didn't look too happy either.

From where I sat? It was 'a you go, girl' moment.
