@RepKatiePorter: Do these statements mean something?

Sloan: They do

Porter: Then why are your lawyers in federal court arguing these are ‘corporate puffery’?

Sloan: idk

Porter: You're a named defendant. Are you lying to a federal judge, or are you lying to me right now?

the video of Ms.Porter,first thing that stands out,only one Rethug in the hearing room,and,the gallery was almost void of Lobbyists.

Talk about burning a witness to the ground with facts. She is a keeper.

What a jewel she is and we are so lucky to have someone so smart and knowledgeable and brave on the side of truth and fairness.

the Congressional door.

BTW - Katie's victory was one of the last races decided in CA last fall, but she ended up winning by a good margin, over 6,000 votes. Of course, Walters threw a tantrum and charged voter fraud. SO Trumpian.

Go Katie!
