I'll post a "taste" and provide a link, just in case anyone else needs some seriously great distraction.
CHAIRMAN GRAHAM: Mr. Attorney General, we are going to wrap up here with a quick lightening-round of very short follow-up questions. You, sir, have been extremely forthcoming and direct and we so appreciate that. So, I guess no one on our side is going to take any more time, because you have addressed our most important question when do the new investigations of Hillary and on the FBI spying on the President begin? And we liked the answers which is, of course, that theyve already started under Mr. Whitaker. And we thank him for his service. Now, to my Democratic colleagues. Just make this quick. We have taken a lot of Mr. Barrs time, and he has not been to a steakhouse even once so far today. We apologize for that, Mr. Attorney General.
MR. BARR: We had a porterhouse delivered from Bobby Vans for my lunch, so Im fine.
MR. CHAIRMAN: You are a good sport, sir. (TURNS TO) Mr. Leahy.
MR. LEAHY: Yes, Mr. Barr, it seems to me that youve been buying time when answering our questions.
MR. BARR: Um, Im sorry. Could you repeat the question?
MR. LEAHY: That was not a question.
MR. BARR: But I distinctly heard the word question. Or maybe it was questions.
MR. LEAHY: It was questions.
MR. BARR: Which would be the plural. Could you repeat the questions?
MR LEAHY: There was no question.

I am so happy that after a loooong silence, he is inching back into public life via these vehicles. I dare to dream that he will be able to return to the Senate.
