1. I'm counting on Sen. Harris

to nail him. Then go on to accept the VP position.

of course I'm a dreamer

[brooklynite]

2. You want Harris to attack Fauci?

[safeinOhio]

5. I'd like for her to get the truth

out of him, as those listed Publicans will not try to.

[brooklynite]

6. yes; why will that require "nailing" him?

[agingdem]

10. yes...

I want Harris to ask him if sacrificing his dignity, his professionalism, his intellect, his self respect and the respect the world scientific community and possibly now his life was worth downplaying Trump's sociopathy for stage time...I want Harris to follow up that question with why, when Trump shoved him aside, demeaned him and humiliated him, he didn't immediately take to the media and loudly counter every dangerous utterance out of Trump's mouth, and finally, why did he think "don't drink bleach and and inject or ingest disinfectant" was a good enough public service directive...so absolutely I want her to grill him...he deserves to be in the hot seat...

[brooklynite]

11. I don't...

He's a medical professional doing his job. His opinions on Trump's behavior are irrelevant.

[agingdem]

13. you're wrong

because of Trump's narcissistic sociopathy Americans are sick and dying...Fauci's job is to speak truth to power with science and facts..not face plants...

[CurtEastPoint]

3. What? Why?

[uponit7771]

7. +1, We don't know if the functionary Fauci will show up or the Doctor who tells America the bottom

... line truth that most of these places that are "opening" are not meeting the guidelines set out to keep massive amounts of people from dying.

4. Romney may and Susan Collins may be concerned. nt

[bamagal62]

8. Are we able to watch these hearings?

Or, are they closed?

[Mike 03]

9. Will they all be participating from home by remote?

This will be an unusual hearing. The usual social dynamics might not apply. If they are in fact sitting alone in rooms without the ability to egg each other on, there might be some reluctance to attack Fauci in strong terms. Scott and Paul are the two I worry about. They might come out strong but back down as the questioning goes on, because it's going to be so difficult to unnerve Fauci. He's a rock. He's a person of strong conviction, lifelong experience and he's just there to disseminate factual information.

12. Oops! Technical difficulties hit all Democratic Senators, preventing their interrogations. Only..

...the Republiscums end up asking softball questions in a shortened (more technical glitches!) session. So sorry!
