[blondeatlast]

1. Thank you all. No C3, the stream crashes my PC.

I really, really appreciate the efforts.

[helderheid]

2. K&R!

[LSK]

3. Specter wants Gonzo to "buck up the troops"

:rofl:

[annabanana]

7. aarrrgh

[myrna minx]

12. Heh. Your post sums it all up.

:rofl:

[Lasher]

11. Is Specter stopping short of asking for Gonzo's replacement?

He is sounding conciliatory all of a sudden. But that's Specter's style. Talk big then turn belly up for Junior.

[Jack Rabbit]

4. Ooooo!! Fifth Rec!!

[annabanana]

5. Spectre saying DoJ appears to be disfuncional...

[myrna minx]

6. Specter: Morale is low at the DOJ. n/t

(well duh)

[annabanana]

8. "The transcript issue is fundamental"

[aquart]

17. Yeah, but he's giving it away.

Spector always starts off sounding right and goes wrong fast.

[Chichiri]

9. Sigh, looks like Spector's giving gonzo a slap on the wrist.

Dammitall.

[SIMPLYB1980]

10. Thanks from the Cube Rats!

[Lasher]

18. No troubles. I was a cube rat for many years

You'd do the same for us, I bet.

[IChing]

13. specter.....yada.yada.....and then yada.

[Oilwellian]

Fuck Specter

that is all. thank you.

[annabanana]

14. Leahy finishing up now... He still has questions..

[flyarm]

15. was Specter just asking Gonzo to resign?????/ did i understand that wrong??

[Oilwellian]

25. Hell no

Specter just went belly up and agreed to accept a behind closed door meeting, with no transcript. Fuck Specter, goddamned shit stain.

[Lasher]

Vintage Specter.

[LSK]

16. Leahy has more questions, finds it difficult to get answers

May or may not submit them for the record.

[annabanana]

19. Bemoaning the undermining of the work of the Department

and the honest men & women who are laboring under this misadministration.

[annabanana]

20. You come here seeking our trust. You have lost mine. I have never

said this to a cabinet member before.

[flyarm]

21. Leahy ..you have lost my trust..you have lost mine

[annabanana]

22. People lose faith in the rule of law.

[myrna minx]

23. Leahy: Frankly Mr AG, you've lost my trust. n/t

I'm seriously and gravely disappointed.

[displacedtexan]

24. I think Specter is saying he has no grounds for defending Gonzo

and Specter will probably have to vote for Gonzo's impeachment.

That's how I understood Specter's repeated warnings.

[VP505]

49. Senator SmokeSreen Specter

always talks big but folds when it comes to actually doing something meaningful.

[flyarm]

26. impeach the bastard now..don't be dissapointed..impeach the fucker!!

[annabanana]

27. I am seriously dissappointed... adjourned

[helderheid]

28. AND THE CROWD GOES WILD!

[blogslut]

32. Resign!

That's what they're yelling

[LSK]

29. Leahy: Im seriously, gravely dissappointed

[truebrit71]

30. Great. Okay. Now what?

...

[LSK]

34. its the Senate, nothing happens fast

[Lasher]

31. We stand adjourned.

People shouting.

[Canuckistanian]

33. RESIGN! Wow, what a reaction

This is a baaaaad day for Gonzo.

[LSK]

38. "this country is run by criminals"

[bdamomma]

46. did someone say that?

[Chichiri]

39. Whoops, I turned it off too soon -- people are shouting resign?

[Captain Hilts]

53. Yes. Code Pink is there denouncing him as a war cimminal and telling him to resign.

It kind of sounds like Wimbledon when the players are changing sides of the court.

[IChing]

41. "The justice department is run by criminals"

True

[Canuckistanian]

42. "This country is run by criminals!! Resign!"

[Atman]

44. No it's not. He doesn't care in the slightest. He has no conscience or soul

He is an empty suit sent forth by Bush to stonewall for him. Nothing at all...NOTHING...will happen to the guy who knows where all Bush's bodies are buried.

.

[Atman]

35. Ooooooh....Leachy closes by saying he's "very disappointed."

You and 75% of the American people, Patrick. SO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT GODDAMN IT!

.

[Norquist Nemesis]

51. IMPEACH!!! Approval for Congress as well as the opinion

of the rest of the world about the U.S. would skyrocket!

[marmar]

36. As much fun as it has been watching Schumer bop Gonzo over the head....

This is really quite tragic. This is what our government has been reduced to: A dysfunctional mess ruled by what by a group not that different from a drug gang, where disloyalty is met with swift retribution.
These are very sad days. :cry:

[bdamomma]

37. so where's this go now to Fitz?

god, they need to get rid of this guy, arrest him damn it!!

[LSK]

43. nothing can be done through the Justice Department

It would have to be contempt of Congress charges.

[LSK]

47. tomorrow the House Judiciary votes on Contempt of Congress charges

[Beelzebud]

40. "This country is run by CRIMINALS!"

Go Code Pink!!!!!!!

[Gregorian]

45. What a sorry state of affairs.

Thank god we can still speak freely.

Bless those who are present with their voices. Now if they could just do it in unison it might be bit less cacaphonic. That may not be an actual word. :)

[HowHasItComeToThis]

48. LOVED THE SCREAMING AND YELLING AT THE END

BRAVO

[LSK]

50. CSPAN is replaying the begining

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

52. They are going to let me go scot free. eom

[Subdivisions]

54. Replaying the hearing now on CSPAN 3

http://www.cspan.org

[Canuckistanian]

55. Leahy admonishing the protestors

[Subdivisions]

56. No, they are replaying the beginning of the hearing. He was

not admonishing the protestors heard at the end of the hearing.

[Canuckistanian]

57. Ah, thanks

[bdamomma]

58. what a hearing.

I wonder if Gonzo will eat his lunch now, pure BS.

[JTG of the PRB]

59. Jeez, I've been missing out so far today!

Another stunning hearing on Gonzo!

[CottonBear]

60. Is there anyone left in the DoJ who can answer this question? n/t

[lovuian]

61. Can ya all feel the anger stirringin the population

its getting louder and louder and if the Congress doesn't do anything

Heaven help us all

[jojo54]

62. Recuse all you want asshole. You're cooked!!!

[Solly Mack]

63. I really can't stand the magic bullet man

and I really don't care if others can

[Solly Mack]

64. Our "image"? Our fucking "image"? Sheesh

America is a war crime nation...that IS our "image"

[peacetalksforall]

65. We have NOTHING to be proud of except ourselves - we who.

still believe in honesty. They are all doing us in except a few honorable ones - Kucinich and a a few handfuls of others.
