I just logged on, I am so far pretty disappointed by the childish behavior over the length of time everyone is allowed to speak.

Sasse is really confusing. He'll sound so reasonable and then he'll make me want to bang my head against a wall.

Is Mueller was fired, would sessions resign in protest?
He's not going to speak in hypotheticals.

Yes, he said that he asked the FBI to brief the full committee on what was told to he and DiFi, but they didn't respond to his request.

Blumenthal obviously knows that Sessions has been asked to speak with Mueller's team, but Sessions is claiming that he has no knowledge of such an invitation

this is BS. His roundabout way of not answering a question or answering a question that wasn't asked is just wasting the time the democratic senators have to ask questions

She's going after him about consent decrees now. She's doing an admirable job of holding it together but she's reeeeeeeeeally irritated with his refusal to answer a question in any simple manner

Mazie: why did you issue a strong memorandum on religious freedom but not on civil rights, voting rights, or anything else important?

Now she's throwing his religious freedom memo in his face in ways that whackos could use it to abuse the healthcare system (e.g. a business not wanting to cover health care for employees bc they don't believe in Western medicine)

Hirono: Is it a violation of the law to fire an employee because they are gay?
Sessions: That's the way the Civil Rights Act has been interpreted (????)

Round two, beginning with DiFi. She raises concerns about use of the Dark Web for drug trafficking and human trafficking. Sessions shares her concern, and points to the shutdown of Alphabay.

Whitehouse: I'm concerned that this administration is de facto rewriting the Reagan era laws on executive privilege by extending the period of abatement indefinitely, and Congress is being denied information preemptively.

oh FFS. Grassley is talking about Holder withholding information from SJC during the Fast and Furious testimony. "Obama did it first" is such a tired argument.

thanks Chuck. You getting in a dig at Eric Holder was really a very valuable use of everyone's time. But, by all means, squabble with Al Franken about Cruz going two minutes over his time
