Booker's throwing Trump's tweet from this week in Pompeo's face.
"[Russia] definitely [doesn't] want Trump. I'm surprised to hear that given that we just heard Putin himself say that he preferred Trump."

Nice point from Booker there, Putin is the only G20 leader with whom Trump has had a one-on-one meeting.
Also Booker: "Adoptions' is code for 'sanctions"

Pompeo is straight up defiant. Booker's ripping him up one side and down the other. Now they're fighting about CATSA (the congressional act to implement sanctions against Russia)

Camille is chiming in while I’m watching
Her suggestion is to give him (pompeo) candy and maybe he’ll listen.
This was in response to me yelling 200 sanctions is obviously not enough

Menendez: "I really don't believe, Mr. Secretary, you know what happened during the president's two-plus-hour meeting with Vladimir Putin, and I really don't have any better idea of what happened after sitting here for three-plus hours."

Now Pompeo is yelling at the vice chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Menendez looks like he would like to punch him in the face.
"If President Obama had done what President Trump did in Helsinki, I'd be peeling you off the Capitol ceiling. PLEASE. When the president speaks, it IS the policy of the United States."

I have a lot of mixed feelings about CNN and about Kaitlan Collins but banning her from an open presser is absolute BS

IIRC on Rachel Maddow's show last night she made the comparison of how Russia completely eliminated the entire question from their transcript, while the White House had the partial question.
I'm also very confused.
So everyone else heard it but not the person doing the transcript b/c of technical difficulties and they didn't think to double check the video to make sure they got it right? Is that the explanation? that would be how I understood it after reading the WaPo article and watching Rachel (Rachel did not allude to any technical difficulties).
I think it's hard to blame technical difficulties for both the transcript AND the video

She was the pool reporter of the day so she was repping all the networks during the spray.

The White House correspondent Assoc is filing a complaint Richard Blumenthal is calling it an offense against the first amendment s/o the WHCA I think I read today that Margaret Talev (the association president until the end of the calendar year) just bought a new house in McLean for like $4.5m. She's married to another political reporter so that's.....surprising.
