“There was no one there who had any information about what information was given to the president or when it was given to him.”

Sen. Manchin —

“We did not get any direct answers and nobody was high-enough level to give us a direct answer.”

1. Well we got

our answer, THIS REGIME IS GUILTY AS HELL!!!!! Throw them out.

[Eliot Rosewater]

4. Nobody can name ONE thing GOP has done since 1975 that benefited

Americans.

Not one.

[Kaiserguy]

7. Your right

I can however names hundreds of thing they have done to hurt us.

[Eliot Rosewater]

13. I have challenged cons with this over and over for years...not one

has given me a single example.

The only thing they can point to are laws or agenda items meant to take rights away from Women, mostly, as if that is something that is good for everyone. When it is only good for their religious, idiotic agenda.

[bdamomma]

9. smh

sickening.

[denem]

19. Medicare Part D benefited Americans.

There was the donut hole, but it was better than nothing.

[Eliot Rosewater]

27. sort of

Part D was originally proposed by President Bill Clinton in 1999,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicare_Part_D


So while they went along with this partially good thing, was not their idea.

So I will give you a 1/2 here, not a whole one thing, a half.

And of course the version we got, unable to negotiate the price of drugs, is a GOP dream...so as usual they do harm.

[zentrum]

29. This

[lagomorph777]

32. Yup: the failure to answer IS the answer.

Guilty as alleged. Better call Rudy Guiltyani and get a defense ready.

[samsingh]

2. isn't this another sign that they are trying to hide something?

[Nevilledog]

3. Gee, do you think they deliberately sent low level lackeys?

[jaxexpat]

17. Well, I was suspicious when Moe spoke....

but then, Larry and Curly testified. My suspicions that these were low level lackeys were confirmed. Deliberately? Maybe, maybe not. After all, in Trumps WH they're all lackeys at every level.

[Nevilledog]

21. True. They're all incompetent.

[shockey80]

5. I seem to recall this type of thing happening before.

Democrats went for a briefing about something and no was at the briefing who could answer their questions. Same shit different day with this corrupt group of assholes.

[pandr32]

6. Somewhere an orange clown is laughing

[ace3csusm]

15. Even Worst is that the Russian now know they won

They have comprised the entire administration...

[TheBlackAdder]

8. I bet the Republicans got a different briefing.

[Lonestarblue]

10. The Republican briefing was probably a meeting to figure out what to do about the toddler.

Republicans already know that it’s all true. They’re just meeting to come up with a story to make it look less serious. What a bunch of treasonous jerks.

[flying_wahini]

11. Give them Hell, Liz!!!

I know you can chew their asses up on this one!

[SunSeeker]

12. Another cover-up by Trump. nt

[BadgerMom]

14. The disrespect and arrogance of these horrible people

enrages me. I don’t know how our Senators manage to control their tempers. Their time is valuable These are representatives of the People. The arrogance displayed is ultimately aimed at us. I cannot stand this administration or Republicans generally.

[calimary]

16. ...and what does THAT tell you, 'eh?

[cayugafalls]

18. So they are stonewalling, because he knew and did nothing!

Criminals.

When is the news media going to start prefacing their questions with "We know you are a criminal enterprise..."

Trump is a Traitor. He played golf, after he knew what they did.

[lagomorph777]

33. Trump is a Traitor. He invited Putin to the G7, after he knew what they did.

[certainot]

20. limbaugh gave trump the putin talking points monday - it's just another part of the hoax

the dem deep staters have perpetrated the last 3 years

two days later the limbaugh fill-in is using the same excuse - it's going to be total denial, like COVID, - until they come up with something else

[Traildogbob]

22. If the fat boy

PompusAhole did not infuriate you this AM in his briefer, (bootlicking episode) you need to leave the country. Smirking at troops getting targeted by other countries as “they know what they signed up for” attitude and outright bullshit lies. Even went after Obama for allowing Russia to be there and blame HIM for election interference. I thought Barr said there was no interference and it was fake news? And the same nobody has been more ferocious against Putin than trump, non stop smirking as He was spewing that shit. Actually admitted they received intel and did what they thought was the perfect directive, and trump did not need to be involved. “We hear those threats everyday, smirk smirk, and we take action, smirk smirk, you idiots know nothing, smirk smirk, trump is dear leader, no body ever in history blah blah blah.

[lagomorph777]

34. I didn't realize the contract includes "being betrayed by your president."

[Traildogbob]

38. Never saw that

In the contract I signed, even when I “joined” during a draft with a number of 324 and no right to vote. As screwed as that whole war was, this criminal treasonous Putin bootlicking asshole is so much worse. That constitution with the beloved 2nd amendment, has a solution to treason and a consequence. That Ultimate consequence should definitely apply to a President that commits it. Much worse than and average citizen. And all elected GOO in the Putin Pocket. McConnell snd PompusAhole specifically.

[rockfordfile]

24. This is Rove type crap

[blakstoneranger]

25. AND NOW WE HAVE A "COVER UP!"

This is why trump is acting so cocky and brazen with the hoax proclamation. He knows his "boys" got his back. Now he's talkin shit!!
And worse, he has the media doubting the whole story.

[onetexan]

37. yup, wreaks of coverup to the high heavens

[MontanaMama]

26. This obstruction will continue

and it will escalate. Whoever dropped this particular dime on the WH at this moment needs to up the ante and fast.

[keithbvadu2]

28. Trump: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

[orleans]

30. i thought bolton briefed trump. was this ap report wrong?

"Then-national security adviser John Bolton also told colleagues he briefed Trump on the intelligence assessment in March 2019.
https://apnews.com/425e43fa0ffdd6e126c5171653ec47d1

maybe they should get bolton in there and ask him. under oath.

[lagomorph777]

36. No: Bolton is telling classified lies.

[GETPLANING]

31. Cover- up

No one knows anything, no one will be allowed to testify. Same old story.

[mnmoderatedem]

35. surprise surprise

the whitewash is on....

[Grins]

39. Because the briefing was by WH hacks, not Intel...

...people from CIA or the NSA. Because they were the only people Senate REPUBLICANS allowed to testify.

Maybe it will be different in the House. And my guess, if they are invited - Trump will block them from appearing.

[AllaN01Bear]

40. qhat is scif? thanks

[lastlib]

41. "Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility"

a specially-secured room where classified info is discussed. No electronics permitted.

[AllaN01Bear]

43. thanks .

[Leith]

42. A room specially constructed

to not be vulnerable to outside listening. It's an acronym of something that I don't remember and is pronounced "skiff."

When Gaetz and other rethugs stormed a room claiming that they (rethugs) weren't allowed (liars - ALL members of the committee were invited), then went on to take pictures and order pizza on their cellphones, that room was a skiff. Even one photo means that the security can be compromised.

[B Stieg]

44. Talk about being sent to the kids' table!

Sheesh!

[cstanleytech]

45. Every Republican in the House and Senate that pounded Hillary over Benghazi should have their feet

held to the fire over this especially every time they try to shift the story to who leaked it or any other bullshit they attempt to play it down to protect Trump.

[warmfeet]

47. Wouldn't that be nice if we lived in that world.

No ones feet will be held to the fire.

Unfortunately, we don't live in such a world.

We live in a world of cynicism and greed. We live in a tRump world, at least currently.

If we want change, significant change, we must play our cards accordingly.

Fight hard and don't give up, ever. This will get very ugly. May as well prepare for that eventuality.

[bdamomma]

46. that bastard

trump is now calling the bounties a hoax, isn't that getting old? a freaking hoax, yea just like him. Bastard let him run to his bunker.

Bunker boy.

[BadGimp]

48. Anyone surprised?

[rpannier]

49. Since everyone in this maladministration turns out to be another coffee boy

I'm not surprised they sent lackeys. Because that's all anyone is.

[yardwork]

50. Manchin is mad at the White House. Interesting.
