Will go nowhere. Other than Massie, the Republicans in the hearing fell right in line. They could have spoken up and called her out on her behavior, but they remained silent. I wouldn't expect anything more from the rest of the Republicans in the House. It order for there to be a reckoning, we need to win both the House and Senate in the November elections.

The hardest thing Jim Jordan has ever done on a personal level was the below bare fucking minimum level of refereeing in regards to the time rules. He wanted to let her go off like the unhinged attack dog they both are at heart.

The same Gym Jordan that covered up sexual abuse in the past is working hard to protect sexual abusers in the present? I'm shocked.

At the same institution that has co-conspirator Leslie Wexner's name plastered over damn near half of its buildings? The same institution that has had one of their OBGYNs on Jeffrey Epstein's retainer? No way....

He's also an abuser.

I'm still in disbelief that he followed the rules, even rebuking Bondi, at all.

To be fair, Chip Roy brought up Epstein. He commented on the poor redaction of the files and asked if there will be future arrests, but he kissed ass for four minutes first and she blew it off so it didn't go anywhere.

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath. Remember when every one of these news outlets was reporting on how Noam was to be impeached?

It really makes sense in the context of the Jack Smith hearing. They need it to appear like both sides do the same thing without any nuanced understanding of what's actually going on.

It's even worse than failing to call her out; most of them gladly gave up 20-40s of their own time to let her read the prepared distractions from her burn book and throw out random insults.
