1. And while they commit treason they take away our healthcare.

If we had done something about Nixon or Reagan's obvious treason maybe we wouldn't be so readily willing to accept this treason.

[Paladin]

2. Franken for prez., 2020 or ASAP. (nt)

[LOL Lib]

3. Is Senator Franken the only person on that Committee that has the guts to stand up?

Are there any other Dems with a spine? I'm being serious. It looks like Franken is fighting this battle alone. There should be far more people backing him up in his search for the truth.

14. Very good question...

..made me do some quick research..

There are a lot of senior Dems on this committee, so I'm surprised at the relative silence of the other Dems...

I was very surprised to find that one of the Senators (D) from my state is on the committee, so I will be sending an inquiry to her office addressing this question...

Thank You..!!

[LOL Lib]

16. Thank You!!!

I took a look in hopes that someone from my state was on the committee, but sadly none are. I am going to send a thank you to Al
Franken for his hard work and patriotism.

4. Keep up the great work Al Franken

One of my favorite senators.

If you're vying for the position of AG, "gotcha" questions shouldn't be a problem anyway.

5. I wonder if Republicans think he is a comedian?

Whatever, he is one of the sharpest Senators of all time to ever hold office.

[Rorey]

6. I also loved him as a comedian

And I still love his sense of humor. Yes, he's very sharp.

[Plucketeer]

12. He seems like a very homogenized Lewis Black to me!

I love the guy. I love the way he tricks the Rethugs into inserting their feet into the mouths.

[Mr. Ected]

15. I don't think we've really experienced the "Al Franken Decade" yet

I would love to think that the Al Franken Decade will kick off in 2020.

7. Bow-ree-guard just got spanked in public

[Angry Dragon]

8. My Senator makes me feel proud

[DFW]

9. Grassley is one corrupt, disgusting character

The very embodiment if IOKIYAR

[turbinetree]

10. Grassley your an complete embarrssment

your telling someone office in your office that your going to ask a gotcha question just to prepare a person to give a gotcha answer-------really.

You just can't willy nilly bring a intelligence agent from Russia into you office, and if anyone doesn't think that the Russian Ambassador is not an agent, well there is bridge in New Jersey, I can sell you.

This is just F**ked up TREASON is is just that TREASON an d lying when asked a direct question still lying.

And now the "deputy" attorney general nominee, didn't read the "declassified" material-------------oh this is just f***ing great.

Bozo running the committee, and another bozo trying to be a underling to the just confirmed AG of the DOJ ------------amazing, just F***ing amazing

11. This c-span clip has the full deal,

and doesn't step on the punch line so much, about 'look at the tape'.

[longship]

13. Al Franken is a fucking brilliant US Senator!

Jeeze Louise! We need many more like him!

These clips demonstrate how cautious and yet how very thorough he is.

"We need to get him back!"

Indeed!

Jeff Sessions' response to Franken's hypothetical query was an unforced error on Sessions' part. It was also a bald-faced lie. Under oath!!!

[PatSeg]

17. Truly brilliant

My admiration for him grows more and more each day. I am so glad he ran for the senate.
