Wray is using his opening remarks to talk about gun violence killing law enforcement officers. And yet, at his last oversight hearing he demured when asked to support universal background checks. Cute.

he is tapdancing on the head of a pin to avoid saying anything re: the Mueller investigation. He seems to forget that Feinstein is a Gang of 8 member.

Also I really like how Durbin slipped in some shade at 45.

Grassley are you not responding because they will embarrass the FBI?
No the president does that well enough
Ok not what he said and also why I am not in any way connected with any public speaking
OH GOODY the clinton report!
Geezus Grassley go pick out a nursing home and sit on a rocking chair somewhere.

H and I were fantasizing about a world in which Mitch loses and I asked who would be new Senate Minority leader and he said Grassley I was like lol no he's 1200 years old. (I think it would be Graham)

Mike Lee wants to know about the status of the materially incorrect statements made by people involved with Kavanaugh hearing.
I wonder if it included the statements by Brett as well.

This is one of those GOP “I would totally do this because I’m morally bankrupt so I assume this is what the OTHERS do”, kind of thing, isn’t it? They would do this and they WANT to do this, but they can’t, so they suggest others may do it?

Well this is a terrifying quote from the Turning Point Teen Summit. I knew he thought this way but damn, to actually say it out loud.
“I have an Article 2 where I have the right to do whatever I want as president,” he said to applause, referring to the part of the US Constitution that gives him executive - but not unlimited - power. “But I don’t even talk about that.”
