1. LOL!

[madaboutharry]

2. Hey, Mr. Fleischer...

I guess this is "proof positive" that the GOP counsel has nothing important to say!

[PCIntern]

3. Oh yes, Ari...

Fuck you.

[TruckFump]

4. I don't think the GOP atty has a clue on where he is going!

This is bad x-exam.

Rule #1...the inquiring atty is singing the song, and the witness a chorus of YES or NO.

Rule #2...do NOT ask open-ended questions.

Rule #3...breaking the above results in LOSS OF CONTROL of the examination.

[gratuitous]

5. Give it a moment, folks

Let's see if Ari can figure it out on his own.

[C_U_L8R]

6. Clearly not.

Seems they sent an intern and he's winging it.

[Cracklin Charlie]

7. No effort to defend their actions?

Just smear someone else.

Seems like not a great strategy.

[Wounded Bear]

8. Well, he at least sounds rather lawyerly...

Not like the clown car I suspect Nunes & Co will look like.

9. I see where he's going, he's trying to add

Hunter Biden’s time in Ukraine into any legitimate corruption concerns the US had, and legitimize now president trump’s concern about that past corruption.

ETA: and now Schiff is shooting that whole weak attempt down! Boo yah!!

[dchill]

10. Where he's going...

He won't need roads.

[ConstanceCee]

11. These Eyes....

He uses an incredible array of expressions with his eyes. Whoever does SNL better start practicing now.

12. Ari will find some way to lie about it. He always does. nt

13. Steve Castor is a major league asshole

14. Castor was WAY off base and out of line, and came off looking like a first-year law clerk.

15. Your concern is noted, you immoral, lying jerk n/t

[live love laugh]

16. Yeah. ... lots of squinting and fast talk. Nothing else. nt

[budkin]

17. He blocked me a while ago

Snowflake.

[VOX]

18. Ari, as you once infamously said, "All Americans need to watch what they say, watch what they do."

He stoked the 9/11 fear for all it was worth. A horrible human being. He’d fit right in with Trump’s now-you-see-‘em-now-you-don’t advisors, yes-men, and genuflecting toadies.
