Rod Rosenstein looked so intimidated in front of the House Judiciary Comm. (Original Post) SummerSnow Dec 2017 OP
Are you being facetious? I only saw a couple of minutes, but he seemed quite poised. hlthe2b Dec 2017 #1
No, he looked uncomfortable imo. He looked more annoyed than anything SummerSnow Dec 2017 #3

He has the unfortunate natural LOOK of someone intimidated, but boy! His responses were strong as steel, at least in the pieces I was able to watch. I was VERY impressed.

protecting the interests of the American People. He showed us today that the image Trump and the Repugs are trying to portray (a tattered, biased organization) is the furthest thing from the reality of such an important and serving organization.

it's the answers that count, overbearing would only create a sideshow taking away from the substance, and we've had enough of that.

If anything, he looked bored when the Repubs were grandstanding. He did look engaged when Dems asked him real questions.

..into the Rethug's that want him to fire Mueller.

But after all the dust is cleared and I'm of the view, Trump will either resign, eventually get impeached or flee the country. Two things will happen;

One, he'll have plenty of job prospects afterwards, who knows, unlike Bork, actually get a spot on the Supreme Court one day.

Two, his name will be in the history books.
