[Ruby the Liberal]

17. Little Jimmy is talking about how they have set up compensation methods

He seems to think this is a civil case as opposed to a criminal one.

[Ruby the Liberal]

:rofl:

[w8liftinglady]

We just want to *sniff* move forward

[malaise]

18. Lil Jimmy has switched from American to Australian twang in a

very short time.

I can see Rupert turning on Lil Jimmy before this ends.

[WinkyDink]

22. Oh, Pops revved that bus up earlier!

[ThomWV]

12. Look at Rupert's wife - now that is what I call some serious anger

She's in the pink jacket, behind Rupert. The look of anger on her face is an absolut prize winner. That woman is pure and simple pissed off.

[WinkyDink]

19. I believe the facial expression is : "I better not lose one dime out of this! I've done my time!"

;-)

[w8liftinglady]

25. Yes,she has earned it if she slept with the cryptkeeper.

[WinkyDink]

13. Little Murdoch thinks AN APOLOGY for "WRONG-DOING" will suffice?! Bwahahaha!

[Aerows]

14. James Murdoch

says the same thing over and over again to say absolutely nothing LOL. The people asking the questions know it, too, and keep pointing it out LOL.

[malaise]

21. Oh shit

Did you bribe the police? Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

[Aerows]

24. Uh-huh!

:popcorn: Amazing how suddenly they don't know a damn thing LOL

[October]

109. uh, uh, uh, uh... it's so dull... he says nothing

[johnfunk]

15. he forgot. How... Reaganesque!

:rofl:

[Aerows]

20. Are you responsible for this fiasco?

No. It was someone else, and those people were victims of somebody else LOL.

All of the umming and uhhhing is hilarious.

"hugely seriously" LOL

[WinkyDink]

23. It was a pyramid scheme! Amway did it!

[Botany]

26. Son

MP What about the taxes?
Son Murdoch: we are legal
MP What about the people you will bribing?
Son Murdoch: ah ah ah ah that is what personal thing ah ah

[malaise]

28. He's too slick for his own good

I can see why he and Cameron are friends...a total and complete scumbag

[Hutzpa]

47. Yeah, the victims were responsible for being a victim. duh!

charming!!

[Botany]

27. James you signed the checks for the bribes, payoffs, &

hush money.

STFU punk

[malaise]

29. What a punk

I don't think Ruprt's wife likes him. Watch her facial expressions towards him.

[w8liftinglady]

31. think about it a minute... what she's had to do all this time.

[WinkyDink]

37. Her own Murdoch children are her preferred heirs. ;-)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_Murdoch#Children

[Hutzpa]

48. Murdoch marry her to gain access to China

that's how wily he is, he is a rat and that's that.

[Ruby the Liberal]

30. Lil Jimmah is talking to these people like he thinks they are stupid.

[malaise]

32. That's the problem with these city slickers

They have no idea that others have way more intelligence than them - this fucker is lying through his teeth.

[Aerows]

36. He's stuttering something awful

when they start talking about the bribes. It's awesome. He is acting awfully arrogant - both of them are. They hate that these questioners aren't allowing them to run the show. It's great.

[flamingdem]

83. It would be great if his stutter got stuck and they had to end the proceedings! nt

[Ruby the Liberal]

33. So - how are you keeping the bribes off the books?

:rofl:

[Gin]

34. loved that question...

[Botany]

35. James M: Sometimes it is good to use cash

Oh no he didn't. :rofl:

[malaise]

38. Super question

Then she hits the punk with his own code of conduct

[Ruby the Liberal]

39. Their Code of COnduct is a "pamphlet" with "some detail"

:rofl:

[myrna minx]

40. Please read our code of ethics cocktail napkin.

:eyes:

[malaise]

41. Oh shit pops contradicts Lil Jimmy

over the new Sunday paper :rofl: :rofl:

This is one feuding family

[Ruby the Liberal]

42. Mr Monopoly is now claiming that the UK benefits from a "varied press"

They are fighting against being shuttered.

STILL treating this like a civil trial "we just want to move forward, let us know who to make the check out to and get out of our way"

[WinkyDink]

43. With commentary by Keith Olbermann on CurrentTV (from Thread #1):

http://www.thertv.com/41

[beac]

44. "What do you know now that you didn't know then?"

What he knows now is he might be going to JAIL!

[Ruby the Liberal]

45. He keeps focusing on compensation. What about JAIL time?

[WinkyDink]

46. "Pardon me, sir?" Bwah!

[beac]

49. "Willful blindness"

Nice!

[GliderGuider]

53. That shot pissed daddy off!

Love it!

[malaise]

50. He is lying through his teeth

How does he know so much aboutthe Taylor (football) bribe?
Willful blindness - got him - Bwaaaaaaaaaaaah!

[Ruby the Liberal]

51. Willful blindness. ROFL!

Dance Jimmy, Dance!

[Aerows]

55. Schooled!

[Harry J Asslinger]

57. With the way he recoiled, he probably went in his pants

:rofl:

[BeyondGeography]

52. Who is that New York lawyer behind Jimmy?

The dark-haired bald guy with the glasses...very familiar.

[WinkyDink]

58. Their "intention" is "to show" that they are "attempting" to tell the truth = LYING.

[Harry J Asslinger]

64. Joel Klein

[BeyondGeography]

71. Of course

Thank you (now I'll go throw up).

[WinkyDink]

98. (Wrong place!)

[Aerows]

54. Schooled on 'willful blindness'

Oh my god, this is getting awesome.

:popcorn:

[Dappleganger]

56. "Are you familiar with the term, 'willful blindness?'"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[GliderGuider]

60. He kicked little Jimmy right in the nuts with that one.

[Bonhomme Richard]

59. Striking similarity to cockroaches with the lights on.

These cretins operate in the dark.

[Ruby the Liberal]

61. How often do you talk with your editors, Rupie? Um, never.

:rofl:

[Gin]

63. but he never influences them.....hahahaha

[Botany]

68. surely a payments of 1 million or 700,000 pounds would ..

.... have come up in the conversation.

Rupper: shakes his head and says no :rofl:

[WinkyDink]

62. "Detecting Deception Using Statement Analysis":

http://www.statementanalysis.com/

[Ruby the Liberal]

65. Hes going for plausible deniability.

Its not working.

[Aerows]

69. Nope

Because they keep grilling :) I can nearly smell the delicious scent of the roasting and hear the sizzle on the barbecue from here!

[Aerows]

66. We wouldn't have discussed a half million payout

LMAO. Yeah, I believe that, of course.

[beac]

70. Apparently, that's "petty cash" in News Corp world.

:eyes:

[Ruby the Liberal]

77. Yeah - and voucherless and not worthy of even noting.

[Aerows]

104. Except 10 minutes later

It IS a lot of money. LMAO!

[deacon]

67. All this wrongdoing and these two are 100% innocent??? This is unbelievable. n/t

[Gin]

72. this guy asking the questions is good....

[deacon]

78. It's like 'news corp? never heard of them. who are they?'

[Aerows]

73. Wait a minute

They are large sums of money, per James, and yet, ten minutes ago, they weren't very important.

Oh my god. Do they not realize they are speaking out of both sides of their mouths?

[KurtNYC]

82. I cannot answer the specifics of that question

(?)

It was a why question! WHY would News Corp pay the legal expenses for an employee pleading guilty to criminal conduct?

[Ruby the Liberal]

74. Why did you pay one guy 20k and another 600k for the same infidelity

With regard to which cases were more public than others

[Aerows]

76. And now he just said it's a lot of money

but a few minutes ago, it was trivial enough to warrant no attention of the CEO and Deputy CEO. Hmmm.

[Ruby the Liberal]

79. I know, right? This is hilarious.

:rofl:

[KurtNYC]

75. somewhat rehearsed answers

glad they were asked about how they were prepped

[deacon]

84. I don't think the level of the questioning is meeting the seriousness of the crimes so far. n/t

[Ruby the Liberal]

88. They have them on willfull ignorance, graft, corruption and potentially tax evasion

[WinkyDink]

105. Softening them up. This isn't the trial(s).

[ChiciB1]

80. A Question,,, How Many Here REALLY Think Much Is Going To Happen To This

sorry piece of shit? I mean he has SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much money and it BUYS way too much! Yeah, I know it's ALL OVER the news about how bad it is for him, but then I believed so much other stuff was going to happen about other things too.

I mean, I NEVER thought "we the people" would/could have been sold down the river like we are being done right now here in America, AND by Obama and our very own Democrats.

I really think I'm on a sinking ship with no life vest and it's begun to invade my sleep at night. Actually, I'm very, very afraid. More than I ever thought I could be.

And yes, I have tried to stay away and do other things, but no matter what a person does it's in your face WHERE EVER or WHAT EVER you do! I watch every penny I spend and I try not to spend any money I don't have to. It keeps getting tighter and tighter and the kicker is, I KNOW I'm doing better than many, many others. Which says volumes, because my husband and I are BOOMERS and he's already on SS because he had to retire early. Even though he does qualify by age now, but retired early so we could care for his mother.

ENOUGH... just lamenting too much I guess! Really, gotta get it together!

[KurtNYC]

91. they messed with the Royals and they messed with other businesses

However much money and power the Murdochs have, they messed with people who have much more and they WILL suffer the consequences.

[ChiciB1]

99. I'll ONLY Believe It When I See It! Experience Has Taught Me THAT Much... n/t

[cyberpj]

81. Too big to fail appears to have become TOO BIG TO KNOW (what's going on in my own company) nt

[catabryna]

86. +1

I said the very same thing to myself just a little while ago.

[cyberpj]

106. It's a perfect headline for this hearing - let's hope someone else picks it up as well. nt

[catabryna]

122. Corporations deliberately structure themselves in this way.

At allows them some amount of plausible deniability.

[deacon]

90. Yeah, they are talking like 'we are just mail room clerks.' n/t

[gratuitous]

127. Waiting for someone to ask Murdoch if he can name any of his employees

This startling onset of total amnesia might be remedied by bringing Murdoch back to a few easy questions he should be able to provide an answer to. Sort of like setting up a slumping shooter in basketball with a play for a layup just to get him off the schneid.

[Ruby the Liberal]

85. Why did you pay the legal fees of someone who was pleading guilty

Good question!

Answer - "its customary in cases".

Really? Someone pleads guilty to a felony and you pay their legal fees? That means you AUTHORIZED the illegal activity.

[Dappleganger]

110. Bingo!

[Aerows]

87. Very surprised

Shocked that they were paid after a conviction. Who signed the checks? LOL. He puts Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers to shame at tap dancing.

[beac]

89. "I was as surprised as you are."

REALLY???? That old dodge? Pathetic.

[malaise]

92. OK then - he's just blamed Brooks - Bwaaaaaaaah

This should be fun - she's will now tear him to bits.

[Ruby the Liberal]

93. How much have Hinton and Brooks been paid off

:rofl:

[Aerows]

94. I know

That's hysterical. OMG, he is getting nailed to the wall.

Just by his facial expressions, he's lying his ass off. Watch his lip - it's raised on one side, and not the other. He's flat-out lying by any judgment just on body language, never mind the attempts to tap dance around the question.

[malaise]

95. Was she silenced with a nice settlement

She'll have to decide whether prison is worth silence

[Aerows]

100. Yep

I'm shocked they asked it straight out. In our country, we are never that blunt. You can tell James is lying just on the basis of body language.

[Ruby the Liberal]

96. I love the Brits. They just don't mince their words.

:D

[Aerows]

102. We need to take lessons

I've never seen someone get grilled like this in our nation.

[Ruby the Liberal]

111. No kidding - this is mind blowing

[beac]

97. Love it! Asking about gag orders tied to compensation for Brooks/Hinton.

James, do you REALLY think we believe you didn't buy their silence??

[WinkyDink]

101. Keith will show this "as long as it goes" on CurrentTV. Rebecca Brooks up after this.

[beac]

103. More crocodile tears from Sonny.

:eyes:

[KurtNYC]

107. seems like part of James task is to run the clock out

give long answers, repeat them, flesh them out even more during different questions.

[Ruby the Liberal]

108. Our journalists and staff are blameless in this

[October]

112. Simple Yes or no question... and still the uh, uh, uhs....

[GliderGuider]

113. Blam!!!!

[Ruby the Liberal]

114. It is 'reasonable and customary' to pay the legal fees of those charged.

Only if you are guilty as well.

[Botany]

115. James R "Is this what the company is doing?"

yes, James you were signing the checks for the payoffs to buy the people's silence

[KurtNYC]

116. James is as shocked as we are !

even though he knows nothing of the specifics (of why he is shocked).

I'm starting to think he was prepped by Sgt Schultz of Hogan's Heroes.

[KurtNYC]

118. "new information that hadn't been there before" -- as he touched his ear

it's a tell -- he's lying

[GliderGuider]

119. His lips moving is the real tell....

[Botany]

120. and grabbing his throat too

The man was signing the checks for the bribes, payoffs, and hush money but this is all new information.

[KurtNYC]

121. it's fascinating. In police work they teach that the higher up the face touch

is, the more nervous they are about they answer.

Just did it again -- covered mouth while saying "the company believed it was right..."

[malaise]

123. The MPs aren't allowing lil Jimmy to change the questions

Jimmy has tied himself up in knots.

The question is different - I asked you...

[brooklynite]

124. Has Rupert nodded off?

Haven't heard him say anything in awhile...

[malaise]

126. LOL

Lil James can't speak for anyone - poor punk

[Botany]

125. Can somebody start a new thread?

James, "I was not part of any cover up."

(He just signed the checks to pay off people so they wouldn't talk)

[L. Coyote]

131. DONE below

[Ruby the Liberal]

128. You are contradicting yourself.

:rofl:

[Ruby the Liberal]

129. The guy responsible isn't there anymore - Rupert

In response to 'what should you do'.

Hahahahaha!

[Ruby the Liberal]

Is it possible your team didn't know about this? Rupy - Can't answer

because of ongoing investigations.

Hinton commissioned the inquiry.

Move over Rebekah, make more room under the bus!
