How come Galloway's sworn testim./ Congress is erased fm Congressrecord?
Any attorneys / scholars who know the answer to the question of how something can be erased from the Congressional Record?

thanks. :



HERE'S THE QUOTE:
First of all, Senator Norman Coleman, whose committee you testified before and to whom you spoke the week before last, as I recall, or last week - recently. There are reports, which I've been unable to absolutely confirm, but apparently, from the searches of the senate web site, it looks like your testimony has disappeared from the record. Do you know about that, and what are your thoughts on that?

It has been. It has been. It has been airbrushed from the, from the record. And in a way, if you saw the testimony, you'll know why. Because what I managed to do, and I thank God for the breath that he gave me to do it, was blow away the smokescreen that these people are trying to throw up to divert attention from the very real crimes, high crimes and misdemeanors that they themselves are responsible for.

...are never allowed into United States Congressional record, all good little republican Nazis and real Americans should know that by now. :sarcasm:

3. Just play pretend

The government spends a lot of our money to project a fantasy. It is your duty as a citizen to play pretend. Galloway never said anything and if he did, it was insignificant. The record stands.

military records which just disappeared.

Congressional Record.
