Telling the truth or being able to prove an allegation seem unnecessary and so, well, gosh, <em>legalistic</em>. Like, do they think we’re supposed to be <em>lawmakers </em>or something? The object seems to be to generate repeatable sound bites.</p> <p>The obfuscation seems pretty intense, more so than the DOJ hearings. I suspect it’s because they know Doan is the the tip of the proverbial iceberg. There are probably dozens of Doans; she was just arrogant enough to admit what she was doing. Apart from how widespread these corrupt pracitces may be, the worry has to be that they lead directly to KKKarl and his flying monkeys.</p> This is about preventing the committee from undertaking the oversight it is legally bound to do.
