1. Hold her in contempt, Leahy. Don't give this operative a pass!

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. K&R for this reply LOL

[WinkyDink]

3. Okay, here we go with weak Democrats. Change your answers if you want to.

The written Q&A should have preceded this inquiry. THEN she'd have no chance to act unprepared about "recall".

Ridiculous.

[Az_lefty]

5. No kidding, They need to start nailing people or this will never stop.

[Beelzebud]

6. They better not wimp out now... I'll be so fucking pissed off...

[GreenPartyVoter]

23. Was that it? Is there any more?

[Beelzebud]

25. Thats it. She gets a get out of jail free card, and a chance to revise her statements.

[GreenPartyVoter]

29. Lucky ducky

[Mist]

18. Yeah, this "take-home exam" routine is becoming old. nt

[Terri S]

20. exactly!

This is getting tiresome. To let these people continually get away with this, and have a member of the Judiciary Committee blatently advising her on how to get out of a contempt ruling is obscene! Enough is enough. Are there any balls at all in Congress anymore? ... Let alone even passing knowledge Constitutional law?

[Terri S]

4. You have a legal obligation to tell the truth and nothing but the truth - Leahy

and you have a 'limited' time to correct anything said.

[Occulus]

14. Is she sitting there lying and they're catching her at it?

I need my whole screen right now and so I can't watch it at the moment..

[WinkyDink]

15. Too bad a petty thief wouldn't get this chance.

[mod mom]

7. Leahy : If President wasn't involved then no Exec Priviledge. ST stated Prez

was NOT INVOLVED.

What was the WH so intent on hiding?

Was it Rove?

Was it corrupting law enforcement?

[shadowknows69]

19. Leahy rocks

this second chance is to test her loyalty. Change your answers or you're going to jail.


Well in theory anyway until King George commutes

[Spazito]

37. Taylor's body language, look, after Leahy said her testimony

weakens the bush cabal's claim to Executive Privilege was unmistakable. It was a very clear "Oh SHIT" reaction. I LOVED it and loved that Leahy spelled it out to her, that was priceless.

[Adsos Letter]

50. I caught that too...

:D

[Beelzebud]

8. And the Democrats wimp out AGAIN... Why fucking bother.

[A wise Man]

9. That's it, that's fucking it

what did you have this hearing for if that's it?????

[malaise]

28. You weren't listening carefully

She was lying through her teeth. They've got her.

[Terri S]

32. and then they gave her advice on how to get out of it.

Yeah, I was listening.

[WinkyDink]

48. The point is: what will they do with her?

[A wise Man]

10. That's it, that's fucking it

what did you have this hearing for if that's it?????

[orleans]

11. RECESS!

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. Oh! What a pretty playground

[A wise Man]

12. That's it, that's fucking it

what did you have this hearing for if that's it?????

[MiniMe]

13. Leahy: We aren't trying to getcha, we are trying to get them

ok, thats my interpretation anyway

[clemencia1946]

21. Yep, she's going to jail if she doesn't change her answers

Leahy was being "nice". They know she is lying, so they have given her a chance to name names or go to jail.

[Terri S]

24. except that you get them by getting HER! n/t

[Gman]

26. ...and don't make us have to getcha

while we're trying to get them. It will follow you for the rest of your life.

I'm sure in their arrogance, ST and her entourage had a good laugh at Spector's ending comments.

[bdamomma]

39. I think they really want Rove.

but that should not make us back off, we should call those who are on this committee, we need to show these Senators we are awake!! I will call Senator Whitehouse when I get home tonite.

[whistle]

16. Sara Taylor is now toast

[MiniMe]

22. Now on to the House Judiciary hearing

Its gonna be a long week for the bush admin. Snowjob is going to believe in global warming by the end of it.

[Terri S]

27. nah... he'll go down defending all the bs ... to the bitter end! n/t

[LeftNYC]

30. Is it over or just a break? nt

[PRETZEL]

31. The look on her face at the end said it all,

I'm hoping that the last little whisper in her ear from attorney was that she seriously fucked up. Leahy caught it in saying that in her opening statement as well as statements made by others that the President wasn't involved just takes any claims of exec. priveledge right out the window. Spector realized that also. He basically told her that she's been thrown under the bus and if you want to avoid another bus running over you you have some serious thinking to do.

I think Spector realized that he can't stop any contempt of Congress citations now.

edited for grammer.

[MiniMe]

33. Well, she can avoid a contempt charge

but only by going back and correcting her testimony. hehe. Between a rock and a hard place.

[PRETZEL]

35. exactly......eom

[NoodleyAppendage]

34. This is GOOD. If Pres was involved = Exec. Priv., then she lied. It's TRAPS THEM.

Taylor stated that the President was NOT involved, which seriously damages his claim of executive priv. However, if she backtracks on this claim to provide executive priv. coverage, then she lied to Congress. So, for Taylor it's a matter of a perjury charge or giving up the Pres. claim.

[Javaman]

36. I just got here, what's happening? nt

[spinbaby]

40. Amnesia

Miss Taylor suffers from the same amnesia as the rest of the Republican party. Perhaps we could send them all to a home somewhere.

[AllegroRondo]

38. If she is cited for contempt, can * just pardon her?

I wouldnt put anything past him at this point.

[WinkyDink]

45. He can pardon anybody he wants, as I understand it---except for himself.

[eleny]

49. He can pardon her in advance like his daddy pardoned Caspar Weinberger

[bdamomma]

41. here is the list of committee members

call anyone of them and leave a message.

[WinkyDink]
