Just watched Sheldon Whitehouse on Chris Hayes....

[OAITW r.2.0]

all I can say is, I am glad he is on our side. He was smartfully cautious with his words, but the body english told me he's got the goods on Cruz and Hawley.me

1. I love Whitehouse.

He reminds me of Walter Matthau in A Face in the Crowd.

[OAITW r.2.0]

2. Or Peck's Atticus in "To Kill a Mocking Bird".

[BigmanPigman]

3. Yes! Especially when he looks over the top

of his reading glasses.

9. I must admit it's hard to square that image...

...with that of the short, geeky kid I vaguely knew in boarding school, but it's good to see how he's grown into being an "elder statesman."

10. well that's intriguing. pray tell more!

I really have a long standing admiration and respect for Senator Whitehouse. I have always thought his last name was curious.

[OAITW r.2.0]

15. Constitutionally rhetorical question.....

could a Whitehouse be elected/selected to a Whitehouse?

[msfiddlestix]

17. LOl. That's my question for years.

[OAITW r.2.0]

20. Great mines think alike!

Don't mine my spelling mistakes.

[msfiddlestix]

21. Just interesting he has that name. I

when I was kid in north carolina, there was this preacher named Whitehead. But as I had to attend Sunday sermons, I'd manage to sit in the way back pew because when he'd start belting out the hell's fire and brimstone, his face would get so red, veins popping out of his forehead, and his animated behavior was so freaking hysterical to me, I could not contain my laughter if my life depended on it. I was just a small kid, but it was then I had this on going curiosity regarding last names, especially the odd ones...

my spelling is totally hit and miss these days. it's what happens when you live to be 100 years old.

[OAITW r.2.0]

22. You post like a 64 year old!

[msongs]

4. the goods? nt

[OAITW r.2.0]

5. Linkage between Insurrectionists and Cruz/Hawley Senate certification slow walk?

Meetings? Toasts? Not entirely out of the realm of possibilities.

[RDANGELO]

6. I'm no leagal expert, but it looks to me like there is already circumstantial evidence

that people in congress and the administration knew what was coming down and at the very least supported in if not guided it.

[OAITW r.2.0]

7. I think we know that the Treasonous cancer is getting exposed.

A whole lot of it, everywhere....sort of like the covid virus,

[cilla4progress]

8. Yes!

I've been noticing that, too! Nancy and others. They get really tight lipped, but very sure and definite, when it comes up. Sort of like a litigation stance.

Mark our words, amirite?

🤨

[OAITW r.2.0]

11. yerrite!

[msfiddlestix]

12. I watched it too

I do have a question wrt to the ethics committee conducting an evidence gathering investigation, but I didn't hear him say what the particular process involved apart from their poking and discussing, but what about involving the FBI? Is that part of the investigation? Chris Hayes didn't ask, and he didn't mention. The question lingers and confusion remains in my mind.

[OAITW r.2.0]

14. I thought the Senator from RI was clear that the matters needs further investigation

before charges are considered.

[msfiddlestix]

16. Yes I heard him say that. But..

the question wasn't is it going to be investigated, the question in my mind is:

Are the investigators solely the members of the ethics committee?

OR does the investigation also involve the FBI/Justice dept together, separately by referral from the committee, or simultaneously if at all?

13. Sheldon Whitehouse

so proud that he's my Senator. He's so tuned in on all the corruptness in the past regime. When I saw him sort of smile he knows what's going on.

[BannonsLiver]

18. He's my favorite senator and I live several thousand miles away from Rhode Island.

He eats Republicans for lunch. Has zero time for bullshit of any kind.

[OAITW r.2.0]

19. I would have gone nutz if Whitehouse was named to head DOJ.

For your reasons noted.
