I think it's amusing how they made a point to say this was supposed to be totally non-partisan, but I can tell as soon as a senator starts speaking whether they have an "R" or a "D" after their name.

He keeps insisting that he recused himself effectively as soon as he was confirmed. But then why the delay in publicly recusing himself? That doesn't make sense.

Lankford doesn't deserve his excellent deep voice.

Wait? Did he just say Eric Holder would withhold information as a precedent. But then in the same sentence say that the courts compelled him to reveal the information anyway because he couldn't do that? Ummmm. You're making the wrong point. Exactly. He just disproved his own point. It's a theatre of the absurd.

You're making the wrong point. it's "but her emails" on a smaller scale. "I did something wrong but someone else did the same thing wrong or some other different thing wrong first so it's ok for me to do it"

I'm only reading here because I can't listen right now, yet this is still making me twitchy. Same! These liveblogs are my favorite/make me want to die.

So lemme get this straight, Jefferson. You don't remember most of what is being asked, but they should believe your memory is reliable on the rest? You cannot site the legal basis for avoiding answering questions but there is one. You are very concerned about hacking but you never chose to read any news or anything about the hacking. That's what you want them to believe, JEFFERSON?

Doesn't...doesn't the Executive have to invoke privilege PRIOR to testimony? This thing these guys do where they say they can't answer questions bc the president "might" claim privilege seems not so reasonable
