On one of jim jacketoffs 5 minutes he didn't actually ask a question

I believe that's what I saw, he just rambled on. If that's the case then shouldn't Shiff step in and say "Do you have questions? After all it is an inquiry isn't it?

They don't want to actually hear what the witnesses have to testify.
They just want to make wild-eyed rants full of distraction and conspiracy.

Democrats on the other hand were noble truth seekers.
I'm proud to be on the side of good.

if they get 5 minutes, they get 5 minutes.

congresspeople using 5 minutes of television time to grandstand?

shocking.



republican politicians have long since abandoned any pretense of actually doing their jobs.
or more accurately, they view their job as preventing democratic politicians from doing their jobs.

He took 5 minutes to say nothing of substance. But Nunes' initial remarks were just as bad.
